«The bull market is on sale for online brokerage customers.

In the run-up to our 22nd annual ranking of Barron’s Best Online Brokers, two developments topped all others: The three major indexes—the Dow Jones Industrial Average, the Standard & Poor’s 500, and the Nasdaq Composite—all set record highs, and six brokers slashed commissions and other fees. At the 16 brokers we reviewed this year, the average monthly cost of trading for an occasional investor had fallen 25% since early 2016, to $47.51 from $63.45. That means more of the market’s gains are ending up in the pockets of self-directed online traders.

Charles Schwab kicked off the price wars by cutting its base commission from $8.95 to $6.95, and after a flurry of activity, six brokers settled into reduced-fee structures. Following a second cut, Schwab now charges $4.95 per equity trade, as does Firstrade. TD Ameritrade and E*Trade dropped to $6.95 from $9.99. E*Trade charges active traders—those who trade more than 30 times per quarter—$4.95 per transaction. TradeStation announced that it is waiving its $99 monthly platform fee for its sophisticated analysis and trading engine, and also added a flat $5-per-trade charge to its elaborate fee schedule. And our 2017 winner of Best Online Brokers, Fidelity Investments, also joined in: The firm dropped its commission rate in two steps to $4.95 from $7.95.
