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.

Pertempuran Surabaya Tragedi 10 November 1945 Hari Pahlawan

Pertempuran Surabaya melawan pasukan sekutu tidak sanggup dilepaskan dari insiden yang mendahuluinya, yakni perjuangan perbutan kekuasaan dan senjata dari tangan Jepang yang dimulai semenjak tanggal 2 September 1945. Kejadian tersebut telah membangkitkan pergolakan sehingga me-nimbulkan situasi revolusi yang konfrontatif. Para cowok berhasil mempunyai senjata, dan pemerintah menunjukkan santunan terhadap tindakan yang mereka lakukan. Bahkan keduanya siap menghadapi banyak sekali bahaya yang tiba baik dari luar maupun dari dalam.

Kedatangan Pasukan Sekutu di Surabaya

Pada tanggal 25 Oktober 1945, pasukan Sekutu dari Brigade 49 di bawah pimpinan Brigadir Jenderal A.W.S. Mallaby mendarat di Surabaya. Pasukan itu merupakan bab dari Divisi ke-23 di bawah pimpinan Jenderal D.C. Hawthorn. Mereka menerima kiprah dari Panglima AFNEI untuk melucuti serdadu Jepang dan menyelamatkan para interniran Sekutu. Pemimpin pasukan Sekutu menemui R.M. Suryo (pemegang pemerintahan Indonesia di Jawa Timur). Namun pemerintah Indonesia di Jawa Timur merasa enggan mendapatkan kedatangan mereka. Setelah diadakan pertemuan antara wakil pemerintah Republik Indonesia dengan Brigadir Jenderal A.W.S. Mallaby, disepakati hal-hal berikut ini.
  1. Inggris berjanji bahwa pada tentara mereka tidak terdapat angkatan perang Belanda. .
  2. Mereka menyetujui kolaborasi kedua belah pihak untuk menjamin keamanan dan ketenteraman
  3. Mereka segera membentuk kontak distributor biar kolaborasi sanggup terealisasi sebaik-baiknya
  4. Inggris hanya akan melucuti senjata Jepang. 
Oleh alasannya itu, pihak Republik Indonesia memperkenankan tentara Inggris memasuki kota dengan syarat hanya objek-objek yang sesuai dengan tugasnya yang boleh diduduki, ibarat kamp-kamp tawanan. Namun dalam perkembangan berikutnya, pihak Inggris mengingkari janjinya. Pada tanggal 26 Oktober 1945 malam hari satu pleton field security section di bawah pimpinan Kapten Shaw melaksanakan penyerangan ke Penjara Kalisosok untuk membebaskan Kolonel Huiyer (seorang Kolonel Angkatan Laut Belanda) bersama kawan-kawannya.

Tindakan Inggris dilanjutkan dengan menduduki Pangkalan Udara Morokrembangan, Pelabuhan Tanjung Perak, Kantor Pos Besar, Gedung Bank Intemasional, dan objek vital lainnya. Pada tanggal 27 Oktober 1945, pukul 11.00 pesawat terbang Inggris mengembangkan pamflet-pamflet. Pamflet-pamflet itu berisi perintah biar rakyat Surabaya menyerahkan senjata yang dirampasnya dari tangan Jepang. Pemerintah Republik Indonesia berusaha menanyakan hal itu kepada Brigadir Jenderal A.W.S. Mallaby, tetapi ia mengakui mengetahui wacana pamflet tersebut.

Sikap itu menghilangkan doktrin pemerintah Republik Indonesia kepadanya. Pemerintah meminta kepada para cowok untuk tetap siaga menghadapi segala kemungkinan. Pada tanggal 27 Oktober 1945 terjadi kontak senjata yang pertama antara para cowok dengan pihak Inggris. Kontak senjata itu meluas, sehingga terjadi pertempuran antara Indonesia dengan Inggris tanggal 28, 29, dan 30 Oktober 1945. Dalam pertempuran itu pasukan Sekutu sanggup dipukul mundur dan bahkan hampir sanggup dihancurkan oleh pasukan Indonesia.

Beberapa objek vital berhasil direbut kembali oleh para pemuda. Bahkan pemimpin pasukan Sekutu Brigadir Jenderal A.W.S. Mallaby berhasil ditawan oleh para pemuda. Melihat kenyataan ibarat itu, komandan pasukan sekutu hubungi Presiden Soekarno untuk mendamaikan perselisihan antara cowok dengan asukan Inggris di sana. Pada tanggal 30 Oktober 1945, Presiden Soekarno, Hatta, dan Amir Syarifuddin tiba ke Surabaya untuk mendamaikan perselisihan itu. Perdamaian berhasil dicapai, tetapi sesudah sekembalinya Soekarno dan rombongan ke Jakarta, pertempuran kembali terjadi dan menewaskan Jenderal A.W.S. Mallaby. Pasukan Inggris nyaris hancur, lalu mereka meminta bantuna dari Devisi V di bawah pimpinan Mayor Jendral Mansergh dengan kekuatan 24.000 orang.

Pada tanggal 9 November 1945, Inggris mengeluarkan ultimatum yang berisi bahaya akan  menggempur kota Surabaya dari darat, laut, dan udara apabila orang-orang Indonesia Surabaya tidak menaati perintah Inggris. Mereka juga mengeluarkan isyarat yang isinya bahwa semua pimpinan bangsa Indonesia dan para cowok di Surabaya harus tiba selambat-lambatnya tanggal 10 November 1945, pukul 06.00 pagi pada kawasan yang telah ditentukan. Mereka diharuskan tiba dengan tangan di atas kepala, dan lalu menandatangani dokumen yang tersedia sebagai tanda mengalah tanpa syarat.

Terjadinya Peristiwa 10 November

Para cowok yang memegang senjata diperintahkan untuk menyerahkan senjatanya. Ultimatum itu tidak ditaati oleh rakyat Surabaya. Pada tanggal 10 November 1945 terjadi pertempuran Surabaya yang sangat dahsyat. Rakyat Surabaya bertekad untuk bertempur mati-matian. Kejadian itu merupakan sebuah lambang keberanian dan kebulatan tekad dalam mempertahankan kemerdekaan Indonesia. Peristiwa 10 November itu diperingati setiap tahun sebagai hari Pahlawan oleh seluruh bangsa Indonesia.
