Business Transaction Index for Brokerage Web Sites

The Keynote Brokerage Index measures the total execution time and success rate for creating a standard stock-order transaction at selected brokerage Web sites.  Measurements are collected from the ten largest U.S. metropolitan areas (Boston, Chicago, Dallas, Detroit, Houston, Los Angeles, New York, Philadelphia, San Francisco, and Washington, D.C.) on high-speed links attached to key points on the largest U.S. Internet Service Provider (ISP) backbones.

The sites that appear in the Keynote Brokerage Index were selected based on publicly available market-share information published in The Wall Street Journal and other reliable industry sources.  For a complete FAQ on this index click here

Sites may be temporarily removed from published results due to insufficient data points for a particular week.
