We have just released our brand new broker rankings, including a new #1 broker! To arrive at our new rankings, we have updated our reviews and changed the review criteria slightly. The biggest change is that we now weigh the importance of apps - including iPhone, iPad and Android - more heavily than we did in the past. This is because people are trading more heavily on mobile devices than they were even a year or two ago so we felt that their importance needed to be reflected.  Also, we have removed Zecco from our list since it is now officially a part of TradeKing.

Here is our new list of top brokers. View our full methodology and explanations here.  Click on a particular broker to go to that broker’s detailed review page:
