I currently have about $5000 in TradeKing. Last week their servers went down and I no on had online access. I lived through it and held on to my investments. The next week, everything was fine.. Well until yesterday when they blocked me from online access to my account. I don’t know about older more experienced investors, but new age investors like myself (21 years old) have grown up doing everything online. Without online access to my account I dont know what investments I am in, how much I am losing, and no way to sell. They told me I can call, but the lines are always busy, so there is no way I can get an efficient trade in. I am currently waiting to get my account restored so I can wire transfer the money back to my bank and switch to a new broker, because this is absolutely ridiculous. Oh and their explanation for blocking my account? “There is activity from your IP address that is flagging out system, so until we can figure it out we cannot restore access.” Seriously? Do they think I’m hacking into their network? I guess they need someone to put the blame on for their servers crashing. Anyways this is just to serve as a warning for those looking to open an account with tradeking. DO NOT DO IT. You are at a great risk to lose money. Hope this helps you.

Unfortunately Tradeking is not available for people living outside of USA. I live in the UK so cannot open an account with Tradeking. This is a real let down, because it sounds like Tradeking is a good broker. I wish they would change this policy, as currently I am with OptionsXpress but suffering in terms of commissions they charge.

[...] I’ve had a TradeKing account for over 4 years (even before I launched InvestorTrip.com) and they are extremely consistent with their product offering, customer service, and overall business practices. While other brokers have fine print requirements (like Etrade and Zecco), Tradeking is straight forward with their $4.95 stock trades and this fee has never changed since I joined years ago.
