Brokers Rating's goal is to range brokers (Brokers Archive) and provide analysis of the rates (Voting Statistics). This rating is based on votes from all sorts of traders from beginners to seniors. If you have ever traded a live account with any of these brokers, please rate it. You may rate several brokers, but only once a day. First day of every month all rating results are brought to naught. Starting a monthly rating from zero allows to identify a monthly winner and thus more objectively display the voters' oppinion. We rate brokers by the actual number of votes. Monthly voting statistics can be found here.

01-12-2008 Jake // Zecco This company does not have clear rules when they handle your account, they will tell you one thing and then do the opposite. You'll lose money for no apparently reason. Their accounting method is out of wack and their website is very stupid. they have ads all over and on high volume hour, you can't log into your account. STAY OUT OF ZECCO!!! Unless you have alot of money and you don't care about people taking it from you then stick your head in Zecco.!
22-10-2008 Donald // Scottrade I've used Scottrade for a few years. Great service and anytime I need to call them they are very helpful and work with me. Only have good things to say about them.
16-10-2008 Sean // Scottrade Cannot get a 15 min. chart except in their elite platform, which requires $25,000 account .
15-10-2008 Bernard // Firstrade Annoying live support, have not intention to reply your question.
29-09-2008 Bill McGann // Merrill Lynch Not for small investors (under $500,000). They sit on your money and won't do anything to help you.
