SpeedTrader.com Awarded 4 Points for Usability in Barron's 2011 Online Broker Survey

March 14, 2011 - PRLog -- SpeedTrader.com today announced its selection among the best online brokers in Barron’s 2011 annual survey.  An award of 4 points was given in the category of usability, which was judged according to design and ease of use, as well as customization options available on each platform.

“We are honored to have achieved recognition from Barron’s this year,” said SpeedTrader CEO, George Hessler.  “This further strengthens our resolve to become the premier discount online brokerage.”

SpeedTrader.com has been completely revitalized in recent months, along with all new branding and an exclusive online marketing strategy.  With a focus on improved operations and client services, staff has doubled in the last year, including the addition of both equity and Forex specialists.  

SpeedTrader’s most recently added products and features include a new web-based trading platform (SpeedTrader 2.0), as well as mobile trading application, allowing users to access their account from any computer or smartphone.  New order types have been added, including Order Trigger Order: when one live order is executed, another order is triggered, until all are executed.  A new, low-cost pricing model in both equities and foreign exchange has led to significant client growth.

This marks the first time that SpeedTrader has appeared in the Barron’s online broker survey.  “It is gratifying not only to have been included, but also to have been recognized as one of the top brokers for trading experience,” Hessler said.  “We look forward to building upon our recent growth and progress.”
