About Zacks Trade

Zacks Trade was founded in 2014 in Chicago and is the brokerage arm of Zacks Investment Research, one of the most well-known research providers in the US. As an SEC/FINRA-regulated broker, Zacks Trade provides access to over 90 international exchanges and uses the powerful infrastructure of Interactive Brokers for order execution. The product range includes stocks, ETFs, options, bonds, mutual funds, and futures. Stock fees are 0.01 dollars per share with a minimum of 3 dollars, and options cost 0.75 dollars per contract. The minimum deposit of 2,500 dollars is comparatively high but provides professional access to global markets. Zacks Trade is particularly suitable for international investors and experienced traders who need access to a broad spectrum of global markets. The integrated Zacks Investment Research with its proven ranking system is a unique advantage. However, the TWS platform is complex and not ideal for beginners.
