Best Online Stock Trading Brokers for 2018 If you’re looking for a way to build more wealth in 2018, getting started with one of the best online brokerage accounts is a solid first step. Doing so will allow you to invest outside your traditional retirement accounts and on your own terms. The best part is, the best online brokerage firms charge little or no fees and offer excellent resources that can help you learn more about investing along the way. Of course, not all brokerage firms are created equal, and that’s why we took the time to break down each of their details and rank the top options on an array of factors. If you’re looking for a new way to invest this year and are ready to strike out on your own, the following online brokerage accounts should be at the top of your list.What Matters When You Trade Stocks on Your Own? Managing your own money can be a stressful endeavor. To minimize this, and to minimize information overload that tends to come from watching the markets 24/7, there are a few must-haves to look for in an online broker. Clean interface. When I trade, I want to be able to easily find my order entry ticket. I don’t want it buried under a number of drop downs. This interface should have intuitive access to see your balance, available cash, positions with real time P/L and all be easily navigated. Quick access to basic charting. A chart tells me where the stock has been recently. I don’t trade minute to minute anymore, so I don’t need complex tools like stochastics or retracement lines. All that’s important is that I have a basic chart on a yearly, monthly, weekly, daily and intra day time period. I use a chart to see current price relative to those time periods, mainly to avoid purchasing at a bad price. Low fees. One of the biggest roadblocks to building wealth is fees incurred to invest your hard-earned dollars. Because the fees charged by different brokerage firms vary so dramatically, it’s crucial to seek out options that charge low fees (or no fees) for account management and trades. There are over 50 online brokerages where you can open an account. Beyond the my three rules above, best online brokerage accounts aren’t just for trading stocks. Sure, many of them started as online stock trading accounts, but now they’re full-fledged trading, saving, investing, retirement planning, and banking machines. This industry is more complex than the average person thinks. You shouldn’t just pick any online broker and sign up for an account. The best online broker for one person is often completely different for the next person. Use this resource as a guide to your decision process. Figure out what features are best for you, and make your selection. What Makes a Great Online Broker? I analyzed a number of elements to come to my decision on which brokers are the best. Later in this post, I provide full details on how I selected the best online brokerages. When you take all the features, resources, trading platforms, and technology into account (while also considering every type of trader), the full-service brokers, like E*TRADE and TD Ameritrade are the best for the largest number of people. For those simply looking to make cheap trades, I would recommend going with Optionshouse. If you’re a very advanced trader, high-volume trader, or a professional who manages money, I recommend going with Interactive Brokers. However, I didn’t include Interactive Brokers on my list because they’re best for a very small group of traders and the platform is very complex. Top Qualities of Standout Online Trading Platforms Quality trading tools and technology Multiple trading platforms for all levels of traders Excellent mobile trading features Solid navigation that displays the relevant information where you want it Quality educational resources and research for trader development There’s more to selecting an online broker than price. You have to consider the resources you’re getting for the cost you pay per trade. For example, my colleague, who is also an ex-trader, likes to use a combination of stock and options trade in his longer-term trading. He recently switched over to Fidelity because he really liked the cash management features, but was very disappointed by complex order entry, sub-par options execution and frustrating navigation. He’s currently making the switch to one of the brokers I profile here.

Wawancara Dan Tes Psikologi ()

Berbohong dikala tes wawancara bukan hanya tak berguna, tapi juga bisa menciptakan Anda tidak diterima. Lebih bijaksana jikalau pertanyaan dijawab apa adanya, spontan, eksklusif ke pokok persoalan, tidak mengada-ada, tidak menggurui, dan sopan.
 Berbohong dikala tes wawancara bukan hanya tak mempunyai kegunaan Wawancara dan Tes Psikologi ()

"Padahal tinggal wawancara lo, kok gagal. Dulu juga begitu, selalu kandas di tahap ini". Keluhan macam itu banyak kita dengar dari mereka yang tak lolos dalam wawancara psikologi untuk melamar kerja. Sebuah kenyataan yang menyesakkan, apalagi kebanyakan tahapan wawancara berada diakhir proses seleksi. Lolos di sini berarti si calon diterima di kawasan kerja yang baru.

Wawancara psikologi punya banyak makna. Ada beberapa versi, salah satunya, berdasarkan Bingham dan Moore, wawancara yakni "... conversation directed to define purpose other than satisfaction in the conversation itself". Sedangkan berdasarkan Weiner, "The term interview has a history of usage going back for centuries. It was used normally to designate a face to face meeting of individual for a formal conference on some point."

Dari kedua definisi itu didapatkan kondisi bahwa wawancara yakni pertemuan tatap muka, dengan memakai cara lisan, dan mempunyai tujuan tertentu.

Jangan dibayangkan wawancara itu sama dengan interogasi alasannya yakni tujuan utamanya memang "berbeda", meskipun sedikit serupa dalam hal menggali dan mencocokkan data. Yang pasti, cara yang dipergunakan dalam kedua hal itu berlainan.

Interogasi lebih menekankan pada tercapainya tujuan, dengan aneka macam cara dan akibat, baik secara halus maupun kasar. Posisi interogator lebih tinggi dan bebas daripada yang diinterogasi, serta lebih langsung.

Bandingkan dengan wawancara psikologi, di mana kedudukan antara pewawancara dan yang diwawancarai relatif setara. Kondisinya pun berbeda, alasannya yakni tidak ada penitikberatan serta tidak memakai kekuasaan. Bahkan dalam kondisi ekstrem, seorang calon karyawan yang diwawancarai bisa saja tidak menjawab, pewawancara pun tidak akan memaksa. Namun, hal itu tentu akan sangat mempengaruhi penilaian dalam pengambilan keputusan seorang psikolog.

Cocok berbobot

Wawancara dalam tes psikologi (psikotes) sebetulnya satu paket dengan tes tertulisnya. Tes ini bertujuan mencari orang yang cocok dan pas, baik dari tingkat kecerdasan, serta sifat dan kepribadian. Istilah kerennya mendapat "the right man in the right place".

Dasar anutan lain kenapa perlu diadakan seleksi, yaitu adanya perbedaan potensi yang dimiliki setiap individu. Perbedaan itu akan memilih pula perbedaan dalam pola pikir, tingkah laku, minat, serta pandangannya terhadap sesuatu. Kondisi itu juga akan besar lengan berkuasa terhadap hasil kerja. Bisa jadi suatu pekerjaan atau jabatan akan lebih berhasil jikalau dikerjakan oleh individu yang mempunyai talenta serta kemampuan menyerupai yang dituntut oleh persyaratan dari suatu pekerjaan atau jabatan itu sendiri.

Ada beberapa tujuan spesifik dari wawancara psikologi. Pertama, observasi. Dalam hal ini calon kar-yawan dilihat dan dinilai. Mulai dari penampilan, sikap, cara menjawab pertanyaan, postur - terutama untuk pekerjaan yang memang membutuhkannya, menyerupai tentara, polisi, satpam, dan pramugari. Penilaian juga menyangkut bobot tanggapan dan kelancaran dalam menjawab.

Demikian pula sikap dan sikap-sikap yang akan muncul secara impulsif jikalau berada dalam situasi yang gres dan mungkin menegangkan. Misalnya, mata berkedip-kedip atau memutar jari-jemari yang dilakukan tanpa sadar.

Dalam hal bobot jawaban, misalnya, si calon bisa dinilai apakah ia memperlihatkan tanggapan yang dangkal atau tidak, atau malah berbelit-belit. Jawaban berupa "Ingin naik pesawat" atau "Ingin ke luar negeri" merupakan teladan tanggapan yang dinilai dangkal atas pertanyaan alasan menjadi pramugari.

Sedangkan kelancaran dalam menjawab biasanya dinilai dari berapa usang waktu yang dibutuhkan oleh seorang calon karyawan untuk menjawab pertanyaan.

Dalam wawancara psikologi yang dibutuhkan sebetulnya tanggapan impulsif dan tidak mengada-ada. Misalnya, apabila ditanya alamat, sebut saja alamat kita. Tidak usah ditambah-tambahi atau malah berlagak sok pintar.

Tujuan berikutnya dalam tes wawancara yakni menggali data yang tidak didapatkan dari tes tertulis. Misalnya, apakah istri bekerja, anak bersekolah di mana, masih tinggal bersama orangtua atau tidak, serta apa judul skripsi dan berapa nilai yang didapat.

Yang tidak kalah penting dalam mempengaruhi penilaian yakni kecocokan data. Benarkah data yang ditulis oleh sang calon?

Atas dasar itu seorang psikolog sering melontarkan pertanyaan untuk menilai tingkat pemahaman dan intelegensi si calon. Misalnya, calon mengaku berpendidikan S2, maka diajukan pertanyaan yang sesuai dengan tingkat pendidikan itu. Bila jawabannya kurang bermutu, sanggup saja diambil kesimpulan bahwa calon mempunyai intelegensi yang kurang atau dianggap tidak serius selama menjalani proses pendidikan.

Sering juga terjadi hasil tes tulis bagus, tapi hasil wawancaranya kurang meyakinkan. Hal ini bisa terjadi alasannya yakni mungkin ia telah beberapa kali mengikuti psikotes atau pernah mengikuti bimbingan psikotes. Tes ulang sanggup menjadi alat untuk mengatasi keraguan itu.

Dalam konteks di atas, tidaklah mungkin seorang calon membohongi psikolog. Riskan pula jikalau ia tidak menjawab dengan sebenarnya. Terbuka sudah kepribadiannya yang tidak jujur, padahal kejujuran merupakan prasyarat penting untuk perusahaan.

Pada wawancara untuk penilaian karyawan atau promosi jabatan biasanya data curiculum vitae (CV) dari instansi atau perusahaan sudah diberikan semua dari Bagian Personalia.

Manfaat lain wawancara yakni melengkapi data yang terlupakan atau tidak tertulis secara lengkap. Misalnya, sudah pernah mengalami psikotes atau belum. Kalau sudah, berapa kali? Untuk apa? Lulus atau tidak? Mungkin juga minat ataupun honor yang diinginkan. Yang terakhir, manfaat wawancara yaitu untuk menciptakan keputusan.

Dari hasil investigasi psikologi tertulis dan wawancara, dibuatlah kesimpulan, apakah calon ini memenuhi syarat menyerupai job description yang diberikan oleh perusahaan atau tidak.

Terkadang ada psikotes yang tidak memakai wawancara. Semua itu tergantung tujuan pemeriksaan, ketersediaan data yang mungkin sudah lengkap, serta tidak begitu mensyaratkan penampilan atau postur. Misalnya, jikalau yang dibutuhkan operator komputer, yang penting ia bisa komputer dan inteligensinya cukup.
