Order fees: This is how you can save on stock trading!

The Transaction Cost Index remains unchanged this month at 72.39 points. As already addressed time and again, should the choice of the broker not be made dependent solely on transaction costs.

The focus of the choice of broker should first be the Services offered by the broker and the question of whether this fits the personal investment behavior. With most online brokers, investors can even save costs, because many discount brokers offer interesting promotions again and again, like freetrade promotions, flatfee promotions and much more.

Broker actions

This is especially interesting for those investors who use the wide range of investment instruments - i.e. warrants in addition to shares, Certificates, ETFs, ETCs, Fund etc. As a rule, over-the-counter trading is the linchpin of these activities. All investors who previously only traded via "standard" stock exchanges, such as Xetra, Stuttgart (Euwax) or Munich should familiarize themselves with this option.

Even the simple settlement directly via the issuer instead of via the stock exchange can save costs. If the broker then also offers free trade promotions, private investors can obtain their securities in over-the-counter trading without order fees at Goldman Sachs, RBS, HSBC Trinkaus, BNP Paribas, Deutsche Bank and many more. An overview of the current broker promotions is available at http://www.broker-test.de/broker-aktionen available.
