6 - Sogotrade

7 - Zecco

Zecco is another one of the newer discount brokerages but they have a special offer of free trades. The catch is you have to have a balance with them over 25K. So for most beginning traders this isn't possible, but their commission structure is competitive with the rest of the brokerage field.

8 - TradeKing

Another high rated broker TradeKing is a perennial winner in customer service surveys. Offering a robust platform and a competitive commission structure, it may be a good place to start in the world of penny stocks.

The name says it all. Speed. Fast executions are the name of the game at this broker. If you are looking for an all encompassing feature set this is not the place for you. If you are a trader that has all that covered and just want fast executions then this is the broker for you.
