Best Online Stock Trading Brokers for 2018 If you’re looking for a way to build more wealth in 2018, getting started with one of the best online brokerage accounts is a solid first step. Doing so will allow you to invest outside your traditional retirement accounts and on your own terms. The best part is, the best online brokerage firms charge little or no fees and offer excellent resources that can help you learn more about investing along the way. Of course, not all brokerage firms are created equal, and that’s why we took the time to break down each of their details and rank the top options on an array of factors. If you’re looking for a new way to invest this year and are ready to strike out on your own, the following online brokerage accounts should be at the top of your list.What Matters When You Trade Stocks on Your Own? Managing your own money can be a stressful endeavor. To minimize this, and to minimize information overload that tends to come from watching the markets 24/7, there are a few must-haves to look for in an online broker. Clean interface. When I trade, I want to be able to easily find my order entry ticket. I don’t want it buried under a number of drop downs. This interface should have intuitive access to see your balance, available cash, positions with real time P/L and all be easily navigated. Quick access to basic charting. A chart tells me where the stock has been recently. I don’t trade minute to minute anymore, so I don’t need complex tools like stochastics or retracement lines. All that’s important is that I have a basic chart on a yearly, monthly, weekly, daily and intra day time period. I use a chart to see current price relative to those time periods, mainly to avoid purchasing at a bad price. Low fees. One of the biggest roadblocks to building wealth is fees incurred to invest your hard-earned dollars. Because the fees charged by different brokerage firms vary so dramatically, it’s crucial to seek out options that charge low fees (or no fees) for account management and trades. There are over 50 online brokerages where you can open an account. Beyond the my three rules above, best online brokerage accounts aren’t just for trading stocks. Sure, many of them started as online stock trading accounts, but now they’re full-fledged trading, saving, investing, retirement planning, and banking machines. This industry is more complex than the average person thinks. You shouldn’t just pick any online broker and sign up for an account. The best online broker for one person is often completely different for the next person. Use this resource as a guide to your decision process. Figure out what features are best for you, and make your selection. What Makes a Great Online Broker? I analyzed a number of elements to come to my decision on which brokers are the best. Later in this post, I provide full details on how I selected the best online brokerages. When you take all the features, resources, trading platforms, and technology into account (while also considering every type of trader), the full-service brokers, like E*TRADE and TD Ameritrade are the best for the largest number of people. For those simply looking to make cheap trades, I would recommend going with Optionshouse. If you’re a very advanced trader, high-volume trader, or a professional who manages money, I recommend going with Interactive Brokers. However, I didn’t include Interactive Brokers on my list because they’re best for a very small group of traders and the platform is very complex. Top Qualities of Standout Online Trading Platforms Quality trading tools and technology Multiple trading platforms for all levels of traders Excellent mobile trading features Solid navigation that displays the relevant information where you want it Quality educational resources and research for trader development There’s more to selecting an online broker than price. You have to consider the resources you’re getting for the cost you pay per trade. For example, my colleague, who is also an ex-trader, likes to use a combination of stock and options trade in his longer-term trading. He recently switched over to Fidelity because he really liked the cash management features, but was very disappointed by complex order entry, sub-par options execution and frustrating navigation. He’s currently making the switch to one of the brokers I profile here.

Pengaruh Kalor Terhadap Suhu Zat

Pernahkah kalian mengamati sebuah sendok dari materi logam yang digunkan untuk mengaduk teh panas untuk melarutkan gula pasir? Tentu kalian sering mengamatinya bahkan mencobanya sendiri. Sendok besi tersebut akan menjadi lebih panas dari sebelumnya. Lebih panas ini berarti suhunya naik. Contoh ini menunjukan bahwa panas atau kalor sanggup mengubah suhu zat. Pengaruh kalor ini banyak dimanfaatkan dalam kehidupan sehari-hari. Misalnya memasak air, menggoreng makanan, dan mengelas besi.
Memasak air memerlukan kalor
Sumber: Wikipedia
Kalor yang dibutuhkan untuk menaikkan suhu zat ini dipengaruhi oleh massa benda m, kenaikan suhu Δt dan jenis zat (silahkan baca dulu pengertian kalor). Jenis zat diukur dengan besaran yang dinamakan kalor jenis dan disimbulkan c (silahkan baca juga pengertian kalor jenis). Hubungan antara kalor yang diperlukan, massa zat, kenaikan suhu dan kalor jenis sanggup dituliskan sebagai berikut.

Q = m c ΔT

dengan:
Q = kalor yang dibutuhkan atau dilepaskan (J atau kal)
m = massa zat (kg)
c = kalor jenis zat (J/kg°C)
ΔT = perubahan suhu (°C)

Berdasarkan rumus di atas maka sanggup disimpulkan bahwa kalor untuk menaikkan suhu zat sebanding lurus dengan kenaikan suhunya. Semakin banyak kalor yang dibutuhkan maka suhu zat tersebut makin tinggi. Begitu juga sebaliknya, semakin sedikit kalor yang diberikan untuk menaikan suhu zat tersebut maka kenaikan suhunya makin sedikit juga.

Untuk memantapkan pemahaman Anda ihwal efek atau hubungan antara kalor dengan suhu zat, silahkan simak tumpuan soal di bawah ini. Setelah memahami misalnya silahkan coba soal latihannya dan tulis di kolom komentar hasilnya.

Contoh Soal
Batang logam bermassa 4 kg mempunyai suhu 25°C. Untuk menaikkan suhunya menjadi 75°C dibutuhkan kalor sebesar 5.104 kal. Jika kalor yang dibutuhkan 105 kal, maka berapakah kenaikan suhunya?

Penyelesaian:
Diketahui:
m = 4 kg = 4000 gr
ΔT1 = 75°C - 25°C = 50°C
Q1 = 5.104 kal
Q2 = 105 kal

Ditanyakan: ΔT2 = ?

Jawab:
Cara I dengan rumus:
Kalor jenis benda sanggup ditentukan dari keadaan pertama.
Q1 = m c ΔT1
5.104 kal = 4000 gr . c . 50°C
c = 0,25 kal/gr°C

Berarti kenaikan suhu logam ΔT2 jikalau diberikan kalor sebesar Q2:
Q2 = m c ΔT2
105 kal = 4000 gr. 0,25 kal/gr°C . ΔT2
ΔT2 = (105/1000)°C
ΔT2 = 100°C

Cara II dengan perbandingan:
Kalor untuk menaikkan suhu sebanding dengan kenaikan suhunya.
Q ΔT
berarti sanggup diperoleh:
Q2/Q1 = ΔT2/ΔT1
105 kal/5.104 kal = ΔT2/50°C
2 = ΔT2/50°C
ΔT2 = 2 . 50°C
ΔT2 = 100°C
Jadi kenaikan suhu logam sesudah diberikan kalor sebesar 105 kal yaitu 100°C.

Soal Latihan:
Zat cair A bermassa 400 gr diberikan kalor sebesar 2.104 kal dan zat cair B bermassa 200 gr diberikan kalor sebesar 1,5.104 kal. Jika kedua zat cair itu homogen maka berapakah perbandingan perubahan suhunya?
