What does the signal score of 57 mean?
It's how well reviewed E*TRADE is, out of 100. Negative and mixed reviews take points off, and so does having only a few reviews: a product needs plenty of them, compared with the most-reviewed products here, to reach the high 80s and 90s. It's worked out from reviews only, needs at least 5 of them, and updates as new ones come in.
What are the specs of E*TRADE?
Category: Brokerage. Type: Brokerage account. Fees: $0 commissions for online US-listed stock, ETF, mutual fund and options trades (exclusions apply).
