TradeKing New Account Overview
November 24, 2009
The Tradeking promotion that runs through the end of the month reminded me of a conversation I had with a co-worker last Spring about online brokerage accounts. She’s from a different generation and doesn’t feel comfortable opening a stock trading account on the Internet.
Her son suggested she open her own account but she had the whole process built up in her mind to be too complex for her to ever understand. I told her I’d put together an overview of the account opening process to show her that’s it’s really not that complicated.
I went through in the Spring and took screen captures of opening a TradeKing account but then we had a baby so I’ve been a little distracted since then. Anyhow, here is a visual walkthrough of opening an account and the 10 main questions you have to answer to complete to an application for their online brokerage account.
- What’s Your Basic Info?
- What Will Be Your Secure Code?
- Which Type of Account?
- Who Are You?
- Where Do You Work?
- How Much Money Do You Have & What is Your Trading Experience?
- Do You Have a TradeKing Promotional Code & What Are Your Affiliations?
- What Are Your Investment Goals?
- Do You Agree To Follow the Rules?
- Give Your Electronic Signature
- TradeKing Application Complete!
Of course, opening an account’s not so bad; it’s actually the easy part. Setting your investing strategy & buying and selling stocks is where the uncertainty comes in. To open a TradeKing account, click here.
