Scottrade,\n\nThey have  low minimum balance $500, only $7 per trade, no  monthly fee. A very easy to use website, a very helpful customer service and research center. They have the most branches of them all.  I have used mine for years and couldnt imagine using anyone else.  If you go to the site, they will show you the Pepsi challenge of all the online brokers side by side.

The best books for novices are RULE #1 by Phil Town and THE NEATEST LITTLE GUIDE TO STOCK MARKET INVESTING by Jason Kelly.\n\nSee my Amazon list of recommended books on stock investing:\n\nhttp://www.amazon.com/ONLY-THE-BEST-Stock-Market-Investing-Books/lm/R5DVC6XMKXTJM/ref=cm_lm_byauthor_title_full/103-8216915-4405457

Congradulations, you have decided to enter the markets at an ideal point in the equities cycle. The only drawback being it may lead you to believe trading is easier than it actually is.\n\nThe best place to start is by opening an account with an online broker. This requires a minium deposit/balance of $500 to trade. Scottrade is one of the few that offer low commissions, no inactivity fees, and pays interest on your account balance. With around $2000 in your account you can even write checks from it.\n\nAs far as learning, go to your library and borrow books and videos (a cheap resource many books/videos on this subject are around $100 each). Also watch TV business news (NBR on PBS or CNBC). Current stock market guru Jim Cramer(CNBC's Mad Money host) has an insitefull book "Real Money" not that this is all you'll need to know but its a very good start for a beginner.\n\nWishing you the best of good buys!\n\np.s. if you choose Scottrade tell'em account number 81739872 sent you, I'll get some free trades, you'll get the continued benefit of my experience, just email me.

Basic advice: if you're new to stocktrading start with longer term horizons first, to get a feeling for what you are getting into.\n \nThen:\n1. Read everything about daytrading you can get your hands on\n2. Invest in some software\n3. Develop a system \n4. Paper trade the system for a few months\n5. If you didn't make profit at point 4. go back to point 3.\n6. Open an account with at least $20000\n7. Start trading your system\n\n70% of all new daytraders give up within a year, mostly because they skipped points 1,3,4 and 5.

It depends a bit on your timescale of trading, a day trader wouldn't use the same programs as an end-of-day trader.\n\nMetastock and Tradestation are supposed to be the best, but expensive.\n\nI use Stockwiz for French stocks and end-of-day trading. It's completely programmable, which is what I wanted, but the programming language is somewhat primitive.\nBut it's free.\n\nhttp://www.stockwiz.com/
