<div>online trading One of the earliest trading sites on the internet (with exception to eBay which accepts cash transactions for all goods) was Game Trading Zone. The domain name ugtz.com was implemented in an independent database in the spring 1999.citation needed This was a departure from simply listing items on a forum or text document. The database helped traders by showing them a list of potential trading matches, and showed historical transactions as well.citation needed The advent of online trading has reduced costs for both investors and discount brokers. To encourage people to do their investing themselves, brokers have lower commissions for trades placed online than for trades placed over the phone with a representative. It is not uncommon to pay somewhere between $4.95 to $9.99 for an online trade; same trade which would cost about $29.99 if made over the phone. The lower fees have also made the capital markets accessible to a wider range of people who may not have been able to afford the higher commission fees of a personal advisor or over-the-phone trade. As brokers transition into automated trading, they save costs on their ends from hiring fewer human representatives HELWAN, Egypt
