No, a broker cannot directly trade your 401(k) on your behalf. 401(k) accounts are typically managed by a plan administrator, and participants have limited investment options chosen by the plan. However, you can make investment choices within the options provided by your 401(k) plan, and a broker may assist you in understanding those options. If you want to actively trade, you would need to roll over your 401(k) into an individual retirement account (IRA) where you have more control.

How do I open a 401k?

Go to an investment broker (many banks have these) and open the account. You'll need to decide how much of your paycheck you want to put into the 401k. Note that there is a maximum amount that can be contributed to this account tax-free. I would first check with your employer as to whether there is a company sponsored 401k available. Many times your employer will match your contributions up to a certain percentage.
