Flushing, NY, Feb. 15, 2017 - A leading online brokerage firm, Firstrade Securities Inc. has made a decision to lower their commission for Stocks, ETFs, and Options, adding a significant value for their clients.

Starting February 16, 2017, Firstrade will reduce its standard online stock and ETF commissions from $6.95 to $4.95 per trade. It’s a reduction of approximately 29%.
