At Firstrade we take the online security of our customers very seriously. To provide a safe and secure trading environment, we have taken a proactive role in protecting customers from various forms of online fraud, constantly exploring new online security solutions to stay ahead of fraudsters.

Through a partnership with Authentium, Firstrade is offering all customers access to Firstrade.com and select destinations via SafeCentral free for one year. SafeCentral uses Authentium's patent-pending TSX technology to create a virtual "concrete bunker" that safeguards consumers from the trickiest and nastiest techniques employed by Internet thieves. These threats include viruses, spyware, Trojan horses, keyloggers, phishers, man-in-the-middle attacks, screen scrapers, DNS poisoning, Wi-Fi interception, and countless other orchestrated attacks.

When launched, SafeCentral locks down the PC, disabling all malicious programs even if they are already present on the machine. A secure browser will then allow users to visit verified websites. Invest confidently knowing that your data is isolated and protected.

Firstrade is offering you a one year subscription, FREE of charge, to visit Firstrade.com and other select destinations via SafeCentral. As an added bonus, the version of SafeCentral you download allows you to browse the entire internet securely for the first 30 days. After the 30 day trial period, you can continue to use SafeCentral for your Firstrade transactions. You can upgrade your SafeCentral software to securely browse all other websites for just $39 annually.

(note: by clicking the link you will be taken to SafeCentral.com where you can download and install the secure browser software)

Brokerage Products and Services offered by Firstrade Securities, Inc. - Member FINRA and SIPC.

Online trading has inherent risk due to system response and access times that may vary due to market conditions, system performance, and other factors. An investor should understand these and additional risks before trading. Carefully consider the investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses before investing. All investments involve risk and losses may exceed the principal invested. Past performance of a security, industry, sector, market, or financial product does not guarantee future results or returns. Firstrade is a discount broker that provides self-directed investors with brokerage services, and does not make recommendations or offer investment, financial, legal or tax advice.

Options trading involves risk and is not suitable for all investors. Options trading privileges are subject to Firstrade review and approval. Please review the Characteristics and Risks of Standardized Options brochure before you begin trading options.

Investors should consider the investment objectives, risks, and charges and expenses of a mutual fund or ETF carefully before investing. Leveraged and Inverse ETFs may not be suitable for long-term investors and may increase exposure to volatility through the use of leverage, short sales of securities, derivatives and other complex investment strategies. A mutual fund or ETF prospectus contains this and other information and can be obtained by emailing service@firstrade.com.

Margin trading involves interest charges and risks, including the potential to lose more than deposited or the need to deposit additional collateral in a falling market. The Margin Disclosure Statement and Agreement (PDF) is available for download, and contains information on our lending policies, interest charges, and the risks associated with margin accounts.

*Online market and limit stock trades are $6.95 for stocks priced $1 and above. Add $0.005 per share on the entire order for stocks priced less than $1.00. Online option trades are $6.95 plus 75 cents per option contract. See our Pricing page for detailed pricing of all security types offered at Firstrade.

Any specific securities, or types of securities, used as examples are for demonstration purposes only. None of the information provided should be considered a recommendation or solicitation to invest in, or liquidate, a particular security or type of security.
