Tier One has had the pleasure of working with the online brokerage firm, TradeKing, since 2007. Since that time, we’ve watched the firm catapult from 25,000 accounts to more than half a million today. With TradeKing’s recent merger with Zecco, the new firm is now reported to be the country’s sixth largest online brokerage.
