Trading 101: How to Choose a Broker 

This is good stuff. I'm glad you remember your roots. So many in a ton of different aspects in life do not. For those of us looking to get into the game but who are still unsure about the whole thing, we thank you.

The best part of this video was the part that wasnt edited out. Made my night!!

5:47 that was the perfect opportunity to say "you gotta pump those numbers up, those are rookie numbers." Great video, very clear as always!

Love your vids. So fun to see behind the scenes...aka forgetting unedited

New subscriber! Thanks for the laugh and authenticity 💹

Thank you for your videos, most of my questions have been answered.

Thank you very much. It was like I asked a question, and u just gave me d answer to all my questions, thank u again.

I love it when you walk off camera...it cracks me up every time

You the best man, you videos are explained very simply.

At 4:35 I was expecting to see people laughing or being silly in the comments because you forgot. The fact that everyone down here was being supportive of you and asking for your knowledge shows how mature of a viewer base you have. I would also like to say that I've been watching your videos alongside others who have become very successful and by far you give me the most inspiration that I can reach my goals.

more people needs to start small and learn the ins and outs of trading first before committing to anything, most people get ahead of themselves and not LEARN the rules, patterns or even the user interface of an online platform, they looking past that and that is why most fail...no foundations. Love your videos Clay keep it up!

great videos and its good to hear the truth in all of it.

Once I watch all of your videos Ill do my first trade, very useful information, thank you. Being 19 and starting now should brighten my future in investing.

Love this guy. Great work God bless

I LOVE TO LISTEN TO YOU ! Too Cool Clay ,.... Thanks for your Help. :)

So brokers could decide to charge either per share or per transaction? How can I find this out before I choose a broker?

I am watching all your videos right now and I don't know which order to watch it in so there are holes in what your saying can you please number the videos in order p.s I'm watching your trading 101 video

Great message on patience.

Was 4:07 - 4:28 suppose to be edited out?

awesome videos and recently subscribed to you! I noticed you said Huntington and Fifth Third... are you in the Buckeye State??

My first trade ever was my tough-love intro to commissions. I bought 1 single stock share for $8, and paid $10 in commission, for a total of $20 in commissions to exit :D Would have to see 250% return to break even. I am now using Interactive Brokers and DeGiro.

Thanks for yur all reply. Can yu plz guide me which course will i buy first from my beginer level.ill buy it ond by one. Thsnks

Gotta love the honesty of the filming on this, the human value of doing The Art of Living. Sorry but as a side note do check out Walter Russell.

Most brokers in Canada charge too much commissions, but if your a day trader then you get good rate per trade eventually. But if your swing trader you might not trade enough to get those good rates per trade.

So dam* My teacher gave me a assignment to search about Stock Market and now it’s related and so I have to get Experience by try to get my own Trade...!

To be honest with you, this was completely helpful. I am trying to get into stocks/trading but have no idea where to start & never even knew there was so many different things to trade! Your 2 videos have been super helpful. I can't thank you enough. looking forward to more

I still come back to this video to see what Clay thinks about the activeness of a trader

thanks for helpful vodeo

Great video

Can do a video on the different trading options? You mentioned Options, Bonds, stocks etc...

very good clear lecture

Lmao at number 3. But for some reason it was refreshing. Great info and right to the point.

What's the difference between stock trading, currency trading and other ones ? Thanks for sharing your knowledge. I am just starting out so this is very helpful 👍

If I'm from Singapore do I have to sign up for a particular online broker in order to trade in let say US or UK stock market and do I have to pay any additional fees for trading in an overseas stock market? Any recommendation of online broker out there that are well known in order to trade in the international stock market?

could I have 2 brokerage accounts. One for longer duration trades and one for quicker trades? Few things: I don't know if direct access causes a monthly fee that is higher to use and therefore while I'm learning if I should wait to have this type of broker. I don't know what type i'm going to become so is it possible to grab a broker and then leave that one once i'm ready and go to direct access??

Do you have a video explaining what forex, future, bonds etc... are ? Trying to find out what to get involved in

Somalian Forex lol? Thanks bro. Funny on forgetting part 3 for a while..but we like your humour and your simplistic way on how to choose a broker.

Hi Clay, I watched your video talking about different scanners & charts analysis like esignal & TOS, so I want to ask you what do you think about Etoro as a broker? I’m not a US citizen so I cannot open an account on Fidelity and similar brokers. If you can make a short video about this topic it will be great as well. Thanks and Keep it up..

if i want to buy some stocks for longterm, to earn money from dividends and i want to do trading to other stocks, is it possible? are online brokers only for trading? what about people who want to do both investing and trading. You use leverage for trading to make money but if i want to buy a stock as an asset to keep it should i go to a local bank or there are better options.

"Clay! We're live! Just roll with it!!!" I love the real life.

Hi clay im from uk.can yu plz guide me which online platform is available on which any international person can buy shares or stock of any company of world Thanks for yur best vid

I'm new to the market and I have played the patience game to explore direct access brokers but I am not sure where to go to research (in NYC). Could you please help with some advice?

I’m excited to get into buying stocks...but what are those other opportunities? Do you have a video explaining the other choices and why one would choose stocks over them?

All these different stock brokers, where do they get all the number/information about prices for stocks?? banks? wall street? or somewhere els?

Much appreciated

Why wouldn't an investor or someone looking to make approximately three day to one week trades not desire a direct access broker? Is there a downside to having a direct access broker?

Hi, I'm very new in this, and there is one thing that confuses me a little. what's the difference between brokers and brokerage?

Thanks

what are the different ways you can trade? you mentioned options, futures, etc. I'm brand new and would like to know. and would you be able to share any resources on where to get the info for common Jargon used. I have learned a lot watching your videos and will continue. thank you again for everything you have provided.

hello..what is the best broker for option trading? what about london captal group vs saxo bank? with one better? ty

Dear Clay, thank you so much for all your amazing work, I really like the way you teach! Please I would like to know what Broker do you recommend me. I will invest in stocks, operating from Latin America (Chile to be more specific), not in an active way, and I will start with 150 USD dollars. I also want to know how can I withdraw the cash later, after I sell the stocks in the future. God bless you!

I'd like to know if you can have 1 broker for all of the options like stocks, currencies and others in a app.

U R good teacher

So I really want to get into stocks but only can start with 100 dollars what do y’all suggest I can do to trade

You should start flipping when you go tanning. Love the videos! Great help for a younger guy looking to get into stocks.

hey clay i live in mexico do you think that Interactive broker will work for me?

Hey I know this video is old and I’m a freshman in high school but I have 1,000 saved up to buy and trade some stock. I would like to be active at least once a day after school .... what’s my best option

im in canada have made lots of research , but the thing is i am not day trading yet and the best broker that i found would suite any day-trader is lightspeed trading. but thing is i need a broker that can do day-trade and trade maybe 3 times a week, so i can see if its for me any specific broker suggestion?

Does it matter if I use a UK online stock broker while I'm outside of UK? Since it is online already.

At 4:09 " I forgot " LOL Thanks for lessons

Why do a need a stock chart provider if I have a broker? I'm not near ready to chose a broker but when I do, why do I need a stock chart provider too? Do you not trade through online brokers? If they function together, how? Do you use them in the same instance? Thanks. Really enjoying your videos.

You provide great content! Well done. Have a question on the number (1); Involved, 'stock, currency, options, future and etc..." - do you have another video explaining the difference between these points? thanks a lot

Hi Clay, do all brokers have commissions or fees and if some are free, are they as good as ones with commissions and fees or even better? Do all brokers have minimums or is it just a set few?

As a newbie what brokerage would you recommend from Cali

I’m from the UK. Ive used a meta trader 4 demo account for a year, doing decent numbers. Which broker should I use if I want to day trade with £200 to start with? And then increase the amount of money I put in when I’m confident that I’m doing well?

is it smart to have multiple broker accounts depending on what you want to invest in? For example, if I wanted long term investing stocks in larger companies such as Google and Amazon, and I also wanted to do day trading, should I have multiple broker accounts to make it worth the fees? In addition, some people say that multiple broker accounts limit risk. How is this so?

Can we migrate from one broker to another? Also, can we have more than one? Would there be any benefit of keeping more than one broker?

What's the difference between an active day trader, trading up to 6 trades a day and the 3 trades within 5 days trade rule?

Hi clay, which broker do u personally use?? I watched ur live trading and I get it ..

Hi clay, tastyworks doesn't work in Canada. Which one do you recommend for starters in Canada?

what the best for beginner options trader ????

The minimum to start that some charge, is that a cost to start up or is that still my money to trade with? Understandably a stupid question but there it is 8)

Can interactive broker be suitable for day trading? (buying 3~5 shares a day), does it also have any leverage that can help.me boost my earnings?

stupid question i guess!! how many trade a day?you said you can trade 5x a day!i thought theres only one trade a day till it close.like start at 7 am and ends in 7pm. thats the time ull know if you gain or not!tnx

Is interactive broker good for long term investing ?

Great information. I am someone interested in day trading stocks actively (one or twice a day) and have around 3-5k willing to play around with. I plan on getting into stocks. Can you recommend a course that you have that can help me both learn more and get me started into day trading? (of course its fine if i have to pay for the course)Thank you!

Question im halfway done with your video and still gotta go thru the comments. I never dealt with stocks, no expert by any means lol. How much would you need to start out? But i think you just answered it. So you have to pay the broker and if your not working with enough money most dont wanna even talk to you basically? See i thought that you might pay a membership fee type thing for month to a year or i thought they basically work off what they make you and get a %. Maybe i didnt catch it but how much would you suggest money wise for a beginners? And do you recommend a specific site to look for one? I live in Pennsylvania if that has anything to do with it to lol. Should i try find a stock broker in my area or like New York city or California? Thanks for your time!!!

Awesome...

I started off with 100 USD and during a trade my free signal expired and I needed 300 USD to continue my trade. What's all that about?

How do i buy stock from facebook or Apple?

How do I decide what to trade? (Mutual funds, options, stocks). I'm just starting out and want to put a $1000 in something safe? What do I trade; stocks I guess? Forgive my naivity!

How to know if there is a broker for my country? And if these brokers provide high fees and commissions, can I have other brokers from another country??

Tell me some best brokers for day trading in ny usa

You mention making more than 3 trades per day/week. I'm new isn't there a rule for day traders only 3 trades per week? Otherwise you get pounded with PDTR? Let me know please. Thanks..

How do I get started from the beginning I'm 20 with 50 bucks 😣

I want to start forex trading, how’s ICM and fxview?

Can you have a day trading and swing trading accounts?

hey clay is there any site for canadian?

Do u have any classes in LA?

What are options, futures and the other types ?

Dumb question from a newbie, but if I buy stock through one broker, does that stock stay with the broker (i.e. I can only sell through them) or does it follow me to a different broker?

Hey I'm from India could you help me out to find a online platform to perform trading.

Would $4.95 per trade through options house be good for an active day trader? (4+ trades a day). Right now, I am using and app to trade (not daily) and the $0 trade and $0 commission is a blessing.

I found this search engine brokerwatch.dog do you think that i can find broker with kind of service? its free but i want to know if i should choose a broker from their db

ur awsome clay

Do I have to have a broker to buy stocks

Whats the minimum of a put down if you are wanting to purchase penny stocks?

The beginner who r nt able to buy yur course or not able to join any academy and yu knw minimum fee of online trading platform is abt 60 bucks and they dont even knw they got profit in first couple of months or more.then whats yur idea abt such guys answer plz

In order to fulfill our trading, need we should always pick the reliable broker. But the broker selection is the biggest problem to the new traders especially in Forex market due to the increasing number of scam brokers. I choose the ECN trading brokers from among brokers due to get amazing and technical trading facilities including - the lower spread from 0.4 pips, fastest execution, error free transaction, negative balance protection etc.

Any idea about eToro broker?
