A broker is a party that mediates between a buyer and a seller. A broker who also acts as a seller or as a buyer becomes a principal party to the deal. Distinguish agent: one who acts on behalf of a principal. A "brokerage" or a "brokerage firm" is a business that acts as a broker. A brokerage firm is a business that specializes in trading stocks. A sales person working for a securities or commodity brokerage firm is popularly (but incorrectly) called a "broker." A broker in that context is, strictly speaking, an exchange member who is actually executing the purchase or sales order in the 'pit', on the exchange, as a service to the client of the firm for which that salesman works.

Which discount brokers offer bracket orders, or simultaneous stop and limit orders on same security?
Q. I am trying to find out which online discount brokers currently provide the ability to place bracket orders. A bracket order is a way of saying - if stock goes below x amount sell, if stock goes above y amount sell. A bracket order is an easy way to do this all in one order, but I am also interested if someone can suggest any brokers which at least allow you to place two separate sell orders on the same security (one being a stop loss, and one being a limit) to do the same thing. Thanks!

A. Interactivebrokers (IB) allows you to place very complex conditional orders. you can place multiple orders that's part of a "group". Once one order in the group is executed then the other orders are canceled. In your case you can place an order (market or limit or stop limit, etc) to buy or sell AND attach a bracket order to that order. Once the order is executed the bracket order, which usually consists of a profit-taker order and a stop loss order, is activated. The two sides of the bracket order are automatically assigned to the same group so that once one is executed the other part of the the bracket is canceled. You should aware that although IB commission is very low ($0.005 per share or $1 min per order), they do require that you… [cont.]

Are online stock brokers required to report funds coming into the account over $10k just like banks?
Q. Just was wondering what if you were to send a large amount of untaxed money directly from the source into a stock broker account bypassing the bank? Are brokers required to report it? What if it is a gift? Thanks.

A. They are under the same requirements as banks. The 10K is for cash transfers. You can transfer as much as you want by wire without a report being generated, as long as it does not look suspicous. If it looks suspicous, then they have to report it to some federal agency.

If I have a brokers license in CA, what would I need to do to get one in IN?
Q. My husbands job may be relocating to Indiana. I hold a Real Estate brokers license in California. Do I have to retake the courses and then take the exam or just take the exam to get licensed in Indiana. I'm pretty sure California has no reciprocal agreements.
Asked by Nonis - Wed Aug 19 11:10:47 2009 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Most states require you to start fresh once you move to the state even if they have mutual license recognition laws. So I believe you would have to begin with the normal real estate sales associate training & state testing.
