Costs and fees for a custody account

As part of the comparison, it is possible to compare the conditions of the individual providers. Share deposits are often free of charge. However, some providers may charge a custody account management fee after a certain period of time. Custody account and account statements are also not always free of charge.

Another important point is the order costs. Fixed-price custody accounts, where an order has a fixed fee and the trading costs do not depend on the order volume, continue to enjoy great popularity. However, variable order costs can also be attractive, especially for investors who are already familiar with share trading.

Here is good tip from forex-exness: "นักลงทุนใน exness ฝากเงิน ควรใส่ใจกับระดับของต้นทุนการสั่งซื้อทั้งในและต่างประเทศ. เป็นสิ่งสําคัญอย่างยิ่งที่ผู้ให้บริการจะต้องแสดงค่าใช้จ่ายและค่าธรรมเนียมที่เกิดขึ้นอย่างโปร่งใสบนเว็บไซต์. ควรคํานึงถึงต้นทุนที่เป็นไปได้สําหรับการสั่งซื้อและ จํากัด การเปลี่ยนแปลงรวมถึงค่าธรรมเนียมสําหรับการใช้เครื่องมือการซื้อขายด้วย."

"Investors should also pay attention to the level of order costs at home and abroad. It is particularly important that a provider presents the costs and fees incurred transparently on its website. Possible costs for order and limit changes as well as fees for the use of trading tools should also be taken into account."

Regular promotions that can save trading costs can also be interesting. Offers such as free-buy or no-fee may also be important for you when comparing stock brokers, especially if you have a limited budget or want to trade very actively.

The trading platforms: Functions, tools and apps

Without question, the trading platform also plays a major role in a securities account comparison, because it is at the centre of the investment. For this reason, it should have a sensible structure and be intuitive to use, so that the investor has an overview of all important data at all times, can compile his orders efficiently and react quickly. Aspects that should be a matter of course for a good platform are:

•     It should be intuitive to use.
•     It should contain all options and tools that are important for share trading.
•     It should provide the user with an overview of current market events.
•     It should give the investor an overview of the development of his securities.

A good trading platform should also have analysis functions and interactive charts. Many brokers offer their clients the possibility to access important information and current stock market news. For many investors, it is also important that they can customise the display of their securities account.

Use via app

In today's digitalised world, mobile devices have become indispensable. Many brokers know that their users want to trade as flexibly as possible and therefore also offer them mobile software solutions and apps. This allows investors to trade shares on the move at any time and benefit from mobile real-time prices, for example.

The website is always the first impression a broker makes on interested investors. Therefore, it should also be examined more closely in an online securities account comparison. In this context, you can pay attention, for example, to how transparently a provider handles information. Important aspects such as the fee model, the general terms and conditions, information on regulation and security as well as contact options should be easy to find. Ultimately, a user-friendly and clear website for a stock broker is an important aspect when comparing securities accounts.

Of course, it is not possible to decide on the basis of the website alone whether a broker is the right partner for one's own trading. But

•     Information in a language that is understandable for the user,
•     good navigation and
•     short click paths

should be a matter of course. Not all brokers have their headquarters in Germany. However, with many providers it is possible to set the national language with one click. However, you should pay attention to the following: Has the provider only translated the main page into German or also the sub-pages as well as important documents? The quality of the translation also plays a role, of course. The broker should design its website in such a way that customers can find information on different portfolios and trading centres within a short time, for example, in order to get a good picture of the offer.
