Hello, I am 19 years old and just about to start investing. My plan is to buy stocks with 4-5k that I have saved and hold for a term of about 5 years. Which brokerage account is suitable?

Im considering Saxo and poems but im open to other suggestions. Any LaoJiao please help. The inactivity fee of saxo is quite high, and that means im forced to make a transaction with a minimum fee of 15? every quarter. seems a waste to me since i want to hold long term. Not sure about the inactivity fee of poems. the minimum trading fee is quite substantial to me. Wonder if any of yall that started investing with a small amount faced this problem or not. Any advise would help

You can check out td ameritrade. No fees but account opening take very long, my friend say take more than 4 months now. Alternative will be tiger broker, faster process

I think it depends on which markets you want access to.

If you only need US market access, TD Ameritrade is likely your best pick. Free commission, low FX spread and great desktop user interface.

If you need US and SGX/HK market, Tiger Brokers are a good choice too. Commissions are relatively low at USD 1.99 per trade.

I personally use IBKR, but I understand that you are probably a passive investor and as such, probably won't incur the minimum comms to waive the inactivity fee, hence I did not recommend it for you.

Get a IB white labels. If you go pure IB, you'll be charged US$10 per month

Is there any reason why it's a 5 years plan? Is something happening 5 years later?
