Self-Directed Trading

You can trade the following securities:

Stocks 
ETFs 
Options (equity and index) 
Mutual Funds 
Fixed Income (corporate, agency, treasuries, municipals, strips & zeros, CDs, and new issues)

Yes. All marginable U.S. equities and selected American Depository Receipts (ADRs) priced at $4 or more that trade either on an exchange or quotes on NASDAQ are eligible for DRIP. Dividends are reinvested on your behalf on the dividend payable date by our clearing firm. The reinvested position will reflect in whole and fractional shares. The reinvestment price will be the prevailing market price at the time the order is entered on the payable date.

We can set up your entire account so that any eligible security that you currently hold will be subject to DRIP. Any eligible securities that you purchase thereafter will be automatically enrolled in DRIP. A security will need to be enrolled for DRIP prior to the ex-dividend date in order for the dividend to be reinvested.

You can also always request individual positions in your account to be enrolled for DRIP at no charge.

You can now request an account transfer online. Once requested, it takes generally 5 - 7 business days for us to process the request. As an incentive, if you fund your account via account transfer for $2500 or more, we'll reimburse your account transfer fees up to $150.

There's no minimum deposit required to open a self-directed brokerage cash account. Self-directed brokerage margin accounts require a $2,000 minimum deposit. Robo portfolio accounts require a $100 initial minimum deposit.
