If you look at the First Metro Securities Broker online page firstmetrosec.com.ph, the look and eel of the page is quite good. I have a BPITrade account, but my friends say that the first metro sec online is a more friendly site.
I thnik on-line trading is great fro small players. The important thing is to understand how our market works.
Thanks Gus!
I am waiting for my citiseconline account to be processed. A small player I am still. If that doesn’t pan out, perhaps I’ll open a BPITrade account since all my bank accounts are with BPI anyway.
I found this too:

I’m not sure if their online facility is actually functioning though.
Great news! The RP stock market has been posting record highs. It’s nice to find that we already have online traders. And that they even offer free seminars. Lastly, I like to try the Stock Trading Game in order to get the feel of the stock trading without burning out my wallet.

Hi,
Can anyone enlighten me please on the expenses normally incurred when share dealing in the philippines. Does it incur monthly charges when purchasing shares, maintenance fees on the share dealing account, cost of purchasing shares i.e. dealing costs, mandatory charges from government etc.
Thanks for the help. By the way, I did look up metrobanks share dealing website and downloaded their presentation and it looks very good indeed.

Hi Marie,
I haven't heard from you since I suggested First Metro Securities Brokers. How have you done in stock trading. If you are not satisfied with your performance, you can do passive investments through First Metro Asset Management Inc. (FAMI). You can find that in fami.com.ph or if you want to read my views you can go to http://guscosio.wordpress.com for my views.

Have you ever used the iron condor method of option trading
Howdy-appreciate your input. I want to trade PSEi. Can we meet for coffee and discuss trading in Philippines? I live in Bacoor-Cavite. will meet anywhere . I like Starbucks thanks
