StockBrokers.com: "2021 Online Broker Review," published January 2021. Participation is required to be included. All broker participants were assessed on 256 different variables across eight core areas: Commissions & Fees, Research, Platforms & Tools, Mobile Trading, Offering of Investments, Education, Ease of Use and Overall. Due to the pandemic and extensive market volatility, Customer Service was not scored as a main category. All categories, with the exception of "Banking," are factored in to the overall ranking. Star ratings are out of five possible stars and are based on a calculation that combines the variable assessment with an opinion score from 1-10 with 10 "very good" in StockBrokers.com's opinion. A “Best in Class” designation means finishing in the top five brokers for that category. Read our 2021 Review. For further information on how the ratings were calculated, see StockBrokers.com's "How We Test".
