StockBrokers.com's 11^th annual Broker Review reviewed 11 brokerage firms on a total of 2,816 data points that were collected over three months and were assessed within eight main categories: Commissions & Fees, Research, Platforms & Tools, Mobile Trading, Offering of Investments, Education, Ease of Use and Overall.
