SogoTrade Review

Broker Review

 

Likes - Discounted commissions for stocks.

Dislikes - Does not offer mutual funds trading; extra charges for after-hours trading; pricey options assignment fees; real-time streaming stock quotes not platform wide.

Bottom Line - SogoTrade limits itself by only supporting stocks and options trading and has little to offer for the average investor beyond discounted stock trades.
