Commissions
Our commission rates are among the lowest when compared to our competitors. Our priority is to continue to offer the lowest commissons in the industry backed by the latest technology.

Quality Executions
We have spent years building relationships with major Wall Street firms and exchanges to bring you the most diverse pool of market makers, specialists, and exchanges. Unlike other discount firms who rely only on a few market centers, we are able to offer diversification through our proprietary order routing technology. We continously assess the quality of execution provided by each market maker on an on-going basis.

Trading Tools
From market orders to trailing stop and logical orders, you are charged the same low commission. Our Trading Desk provides an All-In-Trading-Center with real-time streaming quotes, Level 2, Time & Sales, and order entry all on one page.

Reliability
LowTrades.com, a division of Success Trade Securities, was formed in 1999, and since then we have been developing and enhancing our own in-house trading platforms and technology. We are one of the select few firms in the U.S. owning proprietary front and back end trading technology. This has allowed us to control all the processes thus reducing dependence on third party software companies.

Security
Account Protection
LowTrades.com, a division of Success Trade Securities is a FINRA registered broker-dealer. All accounts held with Success Trade Securities (this includes LowTrades customers) are insured by the Securities Investor Protection Corporation (SIPC). Our clearing firm, Penson Financial Serivces, also offers further protection through the underwriters Lloyd's of London for securities and cash, in addition to the SIPC coverage.

Internet Security
As a LowTrades customer, your account information is 100% encrypted by proprietary technology. Our systems use a 64-bit block cipher and supports a variable key length of 32 bits to 448 bits. What this means is that a block of your personal data is taken and together with a key created from your password, is scrambled to make it unreadable. The data that is sent to you as our client is NEVER cached in an unencrypted format on the computer that you are using. All of the client-side decryption is handled in memory. In plain English, your account information cannot be retrieved from the web browser's cache files.
