Minimum Deposit and Withdrawal Limit

---

Take note of the minimum deposit requires. There are brokers that require a
minimum deposit of at least $250, while others may accept a very small
deposit of only $25. You should also know the minimum and maximum
withdrawal limit. A broker may also charge a small withdrawal fee, which
is normal. However, if you intend to make multiple withdrawals in a week,
then the withdrawal fee is something that you should pay attention to.
Demo Account
Your broker should provide you with a free demo account. This is a good
way to get a feel of actual trading in a real-time stock market environment
without risking any money. A demo account is also good to use to test your
strategy. Do not worry; all well-established stockbrokers will provide you
with a demo account.
Fees
Stockbrokers usually charge fees for trading. They often charge a trading
fee, transaction fee, surcharges, and others. Although these fees are usually
just a small amount, they can easily pile up quickly, especially if you make
multiple trades in a short period of time. So, be sure to compare the
different brokers that you find online and look for the one that offers the
lowest fees.
Trading Platform
Every online broker will provide you with a trading platform where you can
buy and sell stocks with just a few clicks of a mouse. Your broker should
provide you with a professionally designed platform with useful features.
The best brokers will offer you a free data or information about the stock
market in order to help you make the best investment decision. Your broker
should also provide you with graphs and charts in case you want to use
technical analysis.
Trading Restrictions

---

Your broker should not restrict how you trade, as well as how much you can
trade. Unfortunately, there are some brokers that will require you to first
contact them before you buy a stock using the platform as if you need their
permission for every investment that you make. Some brokers will even
place a restriction as to the number of stocks that you can buy or sell. You
should stay away from these brokers. You should only work with a broker
that will allow you to make an investment on your own. It should also allow
you to trade as many stocks as you want.
