Most trading accounts do not require any sort of HP. I use Scottrade, and they are $7 per trade which is cheaper than ETrade. They did not do a HP for me when I opened.
I have a Etrade account. I have had it for about 3 years. They didnt check credit back then. No hard or even soft pull has ever shown up on any of my reports. I called first because I was concerned also. Charles Schwab on the other hand does check your credit.
