There\u2019s a long list of brokerage firms that allow you to buy and sell stocks online.<\/p><p>You\u2019ll need to compare online trading platforms to find the right one for you, then create an account and deposit funds. It\u2019s then a matter of choosing the stock you want to buy, entering your purchase amount and price, and placing a buy order.<article class=\"luna-card luna-card--primary luna-card--border\">\n  <div class=\"luna-card__block\" style=\"padding:0.7em\">\n<span style=\"font-size:0.9em; font-weight: 800; font-style: italic; text-transform: uppercase;\">Dive deeper: <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.finder.com\/ca\/stock-trading\/best-canadian-stocks\" style=\"text-decoration:underline; font-size:0.9em;\">Best Canadian stocks to buy right now<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<\/article><\/p><h3>How to buy stocks online<\/h3><p>Ready to start investing? Keep reading for a step-by-step guide on how to trade stocks online in Canada.<\/p><h4>Step 1: Choose an online trading platform<\/h4><p>Compare online brokers to find the best trading platform for your needs. Look for low or no fees, user-friendly online and mobile platforms, and a broker that offers access to all the assets and markets you want to trade.<\/p><h4>Step 2: Sign up for an account<\/h4><p>Registering for an account is usually free, but some providers may charge subscription or ongoing fees for features like market research. You can sign up online by providing:<\/p><ul><li>Your name, address, date of birth and contact details<\/li><li>Your Social Insurance Number<\/li><li>Proof of ID<\/li><li>Linked bank account details<\/li><li>Details of your trading experience<\/li><\/ul><h4>Step 3: Deposit funds<\/h4><p>Once you\u2019ve created an account, you can deposit money to trade with. Payment methods vary between brokers, but you may be able to deposit funds via bank transfer, e-Transfer, wire transfer or bill payment.<\/p><h4>Step 4: Choose the stock you want to buy<\/h4><p>Research stocks that match your investment goals. To help you make informed decisions, access market research, analysis and even trading recommendations through your platform.<br>Also consider the number of shares you want to buy. Many trading platforms now support fractional shares, so you can invest only $10 or $100 in that $1,000 stock.<\/p><h4>Step 5: Place your order<\/h4><p>This is where trading can get confusing for novice investors. You have two main options when placing a trade to buy shares \u2014 trade \u201cat market\u201d or \u201cat limit\u201d.<\/p><ul><li><strong>Market orders.<\/strong> When you want to buy a share immediately at the best price currently available. Though you risk paying more than you expected if shares are difficult to trade or prices are volatile.<\/li><li><strong>Limit orders.<\/strong> Set a maximum purchase price for your buy order. If that price becomes available within your specified time period, your trade is executed. However, you risk not trading at all if the price changes too much. You can generally set your order for the day or until you decide to cancel it.<\/li><\/ul><h4>Step 6: Pay for the transaction<\/h4><p>Review all the details of your transaction including the number of stocks you\u2019re buying, at what price and the total cost of the purchase. You need sufficient funds in your online trading account to cover the cost of the transaction, including any brokerage fees that apply.<\/p><p>When you\u2019re happy with all the details, submit your buy order.<\/p><h3>How to choose the best online trading platform<\/h3><p>Consider the following factors when comparing brokers to find the best online trading platform in Canada for your needs.<\/p><h4>Supported assets and markets<\/h4><p>If you just want to trade Canadian stocks, every Canadian broker has got you covered. But if you want to trade on international markets or trade other assets like options, futures and forex, you\u2019ll need to shop around for a platform that supports all investment types you want to trade.<\/p><h4>Brokerage fees<\/h4><p>Many brokers will charge a commission each time you place a buy or sell order, but there are also some <a href=\"https:\/\/www.finder.com\/ca\/stock-trading\/commission-free-stock-trading\">commission-free stock trading platforms in Canada<\/a>. Some platforms also offer fee discounts for frequent traders, so consider your trading volume when finding the most cost-effective broker.<\/p><h4>Other fees<\/h4><p>Other than brokerage fees, you\u2019ll also need to check for a variety of other charges that may apply. Watch out for:<\/p><ul><li>Currency conversion fees<\/li><li>Monthly subscription fees for real-time market data<\/li><li>An annual or quarterly account fee if you don\u2019t meet a minimum asset requirement<\/li><li>Account inactivity fees<\/li><li>Deposit or withdrawal fees<\/li><\/ul><h4>Ease of use<\/h4><p>The best online stock broker will offer easy-to-use trading platforms. Consider whether you will be trading on desktop or mobile when choosing a broker. Some providers also offer multiple trading platforms, including options designed for beginners as well as for more experienced investors.<\/p><h4>Market data<\/h4><p>Check whether you can access real-time market data so you can trade based on current market information, or whether data is delayed. You\u2019ll also need to find out whether you need to pay a fee to get real-time data.<\/p><h4>Research and analysis<\/h4><p>What research tools does the broker provide to help you choose investments? Does it offer market news from reliable sources? Does it offer access to expert stock recommendations and market analysis from trusted third-party providers?<\/p><h4>Account types<\/h4><p>Does the platform offer cash accounts only, or can you also borrow money with a margin trading account? Depending on your needs, you may also want to check whether the broker offers registered accounts such as TFSAs, RRSPs and RESPs.<\/p><h4>Demo account<\/h4><p>Many of the best online trading platforms in Canada offer demo or paper trading accounts. These allow you to trade with a virtual account balance in real market conditions, allowing you to test out the platform and your trading strategies before investing any real money.<\/p><p>Learn more in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.finder.com\/ca\/stock-trading\/paper-trading\">our guide to the best paper trading platforms in Canada<\/a><\/p><h4>Customer support<\/h4><p>Find out how you can get in touch with the broker\u2019s support team when needed, and during which hours support is available. It\u2019s also a good idea to check what educational resources the broker offers to help you navigate its trading platform and boost your investing knowledge.<article class=\"luna-card luna-card--primary luna-card--border\">\n  <div class=\"luna-card__block\" style=\"padding:0.7em\">\n<span style=\"font-size:0.9em; font-weight: 800; font-style: italic; text-transform: uppercase;\">Related: <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.finder.com\/ca\/stock-trading\/best-brokerage-signup-bonuses\" style=\"text-decoration:underline; font-size:0.9em;\">Best brokerage signup bonuses in Canada<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<\/article><\/p><h3>How to trade stocks online<\/h3><p>Use the tips below to help inform your investing decisions when trading online.<\/p><h4>Set your investment goals and strategy<\/h4><p>Before you can place your first trade, you\u2019ll need to decide on your investment goals and timeframe. For many new investors, the simplest approach is to adopt a long-term buy-and-hold strategy. Advanced and complicated strategies like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.finder.com\/ca\/stock-trading\/day-trading-in-canada\">day trading<\/a> are best left to experienced investors.<\/p><h4>Take advantage of your broker\u2019s research and analysis tools<\/h4><p>No matter which online trading platform you choose, it will provide a host of research and analysis tools. For example, you might be able to view stock ratings and analyst recommendations, as well as a range of fundamental and technical analysis tools. Make the most of these resources to help you choose the right investments.<\/p><h4>Use stock screeners<\/h4><p>Online brokers and independent platforms also offer stock screeners. These allow you to filter thousands of stocks and ETFs based on the features you\u2019re looking for in an investment. Use these screeners to find stocks and funds that match your investment goals.<\/p><h4>Stay up to date with the economy<\/h4><p>Understand the health of the economy, interest rate decisions, government policy changes, levels of investor confidence, exchange rates and the performance of stock markets in other countries. All of these can influence when to invest.<\/p><h4>Start with blue-chip companies<\/h4><p>One of the safest options for anyone starting out in the stock market is to invest in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.finder.com\/ca\/stock-trading\/blue-chip-stocks\">blue-chip companies<\/a>. These are Canada\u2019s biggest, most established companies, many included in the Dow Jones Industrial Average. They usually offer the best chance for minimizing your risk and providing steady returns.<\/p><h4>Diversify<\/h4><p>To minimize your exposure to risk, diversify your portfolio across a range of different industries. If you buy stocks across five or six industries instead of only one or two, you can be better protected against losses if one particular industry experiences a sharp downturn. ETFs also offer a simple way to diversify your portfolio.<\/p><h4>Monitor your investments<\/h4><p>Monitor the performance of your shares against your investment plan. Do they still align with your investment goals? Remember that your goals are most likely long-term, so don\u2019t let short-term volatility lead you to panic-sell.<\/p><h4>The basics of selling stocks<\/h4><p>If you decide to sell your stocks, you can choose to sell via a market or a limit order. Market orders mean the shares are sold immediately at the best available price, while limit orders allow you to set the minimum sale price you\u2019re willing to accept.<\/p><p>Advanced orders like stop-loss and trailing stop-loss orders are more complex and are for more experienced traders, but they can be very useful for managing your risk.<\/p><h3>Is online trading legal in Canada?<\/h3><p>Yes, online trading is legal in Canada. You can trade stocks, ETFs, options and much more with online brokerages, and you can buy and sell these assets using your computer or mobile device.<\/p><p>However, you\u2019ll need to make sure you trade with a reputable broker that is properly regulated in Canada.<\/p><h3>Are online trading platforms safe?<\/h3><p>Yes \u2014 provided you deal with a reputable broker. Make sure you deal with a provider that is regulated by the Canadian Investment Regulatory Organization (CIRO). You can also check if they are a member of the Canadian Investor Protection Fund (CIPF), ensuring that you\u2019ll be protected if the broker becomes insolvent.<\/p><p>But it\u2019s also essential to be aware that even though legit trading platforms are safe, there are always risks associated with investing. Returns are not guaranteed, and there\u2019s a chance that you could end up losing money. Be sure that you understand the risks of online trading before investing any of your hard-earned money.<\/p><h3>List of online trading platforms in Canada<\/h3><table class=\"luna-table luna-table--responsiveList\"><thead class=\"luna-table__header\"><tr><th style=\"text-align: left; width: 20%;\" scope=\"col\">Brokerage<\/th><th style=\"text-align: left; width: 40%;\" scope=\"col\">Account fees<\/th><th style=\"text-align: left; width: 40%;\" scope=\"col\">Trading options<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody class=\"luna-table__body\"><tr><td>BMO InvestorLine<\/td><td><ul><li>Annual fee: $0<\/li><li>Stock trading fees: $0<\/li><\/ul><\/td><td>Stocks, ETFs, options, mutual funds, bonds, GICs<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>CIBC Investor\u2019s Edge<\/td><td><ul><li>Annual fee: $0 if conditions are met, or $100<\/li><li>Stock trading fees: $6.95 per trade ($4.95 for active investors, $5.95 for students or $0 for account holders under the age of 25)<\/li><\/ul><\/td><td>Stocks, ETFs, options, mutual funds, bonds, GICs, precious metals<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Interactive Brokers<\/td><td><ul><li>Stock trading fees: $0.003\u2013$0.01 per share (minimum $1 per order)<\/li><\/ul><\/td><td>Stocks, ETFs, options, bonds, futures, forex<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Moomoo<\/td><td><ul><li>Annual fee: $0<\/li><li>Stock trading fees: $0.0149 per share (minimum $1.49 per trade)<\/li><\/ul><\/td><td>Stocks, ETFs, options<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>MogoTrade<\/td><td><ul><li>Annual fee: $0<\/li><li>Stock trading fees: $0<\/li><\/ul><\/td><td>Stocks, ETFs<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>National Bank Direct Brokerage<\/td><td><ul><li>Annual fee: $0 if conditions met, otherwise $100\/year<\/li><li>Stock trading fees: $0<\/li><\/ul><\/td><td>Stocks, ETFs, options, mutual funds, bonds, GICs<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Qtrade<\/td><td><ul><li>Annual fee: $0<\/li><li>Stock trading fees: $0 per trade<\/li><\/ul><\/td><td>Stocks, ETFs, options, mutual funds, bonds, GICs<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Questrade<\/td><td><ul><li>Annual fee: $0<\/li><li>Stock trading fees: $0<\/li><\/ul><\/td><td>Stocks, ETFs, options, mutual funds, bonds, GICs, precious metals, CFDs, forex<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>RBC Direct Investing<\/td><td><ul><li>Annual fee: $0<\/li><li>Stock trading fees: $9.95 per trade (or $6.95 per trade for active traders)<\/li><\/ul><\/td><td>Stocks, ETFs, options, mutual funds, bonds, GICs, precious metals<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Scotia iTRADE<\/td><td><ul><li>Annual fee: $0 if conditions met, otherwise $100\/yr<\/li><li>Stock trading fees: $9.99 per trade (or $4.99 per trade for active traders)<\/li><\/ul><\/td><td>Stocks, ETFs, options, mutual funds, bonds, GICs<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>TD Direct Investing<\/td><td><ul><li>Annual fee: $0 if conditions met, otherwise $100\/year<\/li><li>Stock trading fees: $9.99 per trade (or $7 per trade for active traders)<\/li><\/ul><\/td><td>Stocks, ETFs, options, mutual funds, bonds, GICs<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>TD Easy Trade<\/td><td><ul><li>Annual fee: $0<\/li><li>Stock trading fees: $9.99, but all account holders get 50 free stock trades per year<\/li><\/ul><\/td><td>Stocks, ETFs<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Wealthsimple<\/td><td><ul><li>Annual fee: $0<\/li><li>Stock trading fees: $0<\/li><\/ul><\/td><td>Stocks, ETFs, options, crypto<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Webull<\/td><td><ul><li>Annual fee: $10<\/li><li>Stock trading fees: $0<\/li><\/ul><\/td><td>Stocks, ETFs, options<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><h3>Bottom line<\/h3><p>There are plenty of brokers worth checking out when choosing an online trading platform.
