Any reason why you don't want COL? It's really convenient and feature-packed, with minimal trading fees.

Aside from those mentioned(BPItrade, COL, Philstocks) , there are a number of choices, though lesser known. They offer trial periods so you can check out the UI:

First Metro Securities(Metrobank's)
AB Capital Securities
Wealth Securities
Abacus Securities
Unicapital Securities
Maketrade(connected with Maybank i think)

afaik only PhilStocks and First Metro officially have iOS/Android apps. Not sure what happened to the COL app, parang di pa siya nirelease officially. Of course you can use your phone's browser, but it is a pain to scroll through the UI.

One advantage COL has is that it is integrated with their UITF/mutual fund products. You can easily shift your money into stocks-cash-UITFs in one integrated screen.

Please trade with discretion ^_^

COL app works for me:

I just use to view my portfolio though, I still prefer to do the actual trading on a PC.

well, we've been trading w/ unicapital for several years now and they've been pretty decent to us so i guess it's a natural progression to use their online arm

Yeah exactly. When I started googling about stocks trading a couple of months ago, it was always COL that pops out.
I did not even visit there office for my application. Sent mine by LBC. Schedule an interview by Skype. Put money in my account. and that's it. Bought stocks (MPI was my first for unknown reason) and invested in mutual funds.

Yung mutual funds feature nila ang okay sa akin kasi I can divide my money into two types of investments.

^ i hope you still got your MPI

Ang isang nagustuhan ko sa COL, if you can file your request to withdraw funds before 11am, they can deposit the cash by 2pm. For some reason other brpkers take a few days bago mailabas

I still have MPI. I just started so maliit lang pera ko. I lost sa MPI sa first few days but I reminded myself that I am an investor, not a trader.

SMC and DMC are a different story hahaha

Swerte sa mga nakabili ng MPI at 4-5 pesos ^_^ Been watching it but never able to pull the trigger, ayan 7 pesos na.

If you follow Duterte's pronouncements, seems infrastructure spending will continue/increase, then parang me sinabi pa siya na --"fast track" ang bidding....so good news fundamentally for MPI, MWIDE, etc. Huwag lang nga sanang gaguhin after the projects are done(e.g. TRO on toll charge increase, etc.)

On the other hand, mukhang dead on the water ang mining, and possibly even gaming.

Just my non-expert opinion
