It’s like Betterment for Stock Trading
I use Betterment to invest in mutual funds, but when it comes to stocks, I have no clue what to invest in nor do I have the time to keep up-to-date with all the things going on in the stock market. This app is great because it helps me trade like the best, like Nancy Pelosi, who somehow has a really high performing stock portfolio. It’s pretty easy to set up, just put money into a Robinhood account, connect it with the app, select a portfolio, and BOOM! that’s it. Easy investing, and high returns. Also, for all the people complaining about subscription fees, make sure you invest enough money that obviously your returns are higher than the subscription fee. Also, I don’t expect to see much activity in trades, maybe once a month at most. It’s following a portfolio after all.Neat idea, integration needs work
Been a subscriber since the ChatGPT portfolio, and paid for the quant add on subscription. Loved it with Webull or robinhood or td ameritrade. The problem is Webull and robinhood are kinda crappy brokerages, and ameritrade is now Schwab. Autopilot has been excruciatingly slow adding additional banks to integrate with.
I Was very excited by beta Schwab linkage - but it’s garbage and doesn’t work at all - sometimes it knows my account balance, sometimes not, I open a position and it buys some of it, meanwhile in the app it lists everything as pending, and doesn’t report the balance for the pilot that it’s tracking.
I’ve been on for about a year now, and it’s really lazy that the brokerage support has actually decreased since I started with it. Works fine on robinhood and Webull - but they're both using you as the product. The more robust brokerages all have themes that effectively accomplish the same thing as the pilots and are just infinitely smoother.Developer Response
Hey! Chris here, one of the co founders of the app. We apologize for this as we know of the frustration here. TD forcing everyone to merge over to Schwab definitely wasn't ideal. We have been working on getting the new Schwab integration up and it should be in a constant state of improvement. The GPT portfolio also will be coming back relatively soon (we hope). With regards to the slowness of the new brokers, we have the Schwab & Fidelity integration in private betas. We are hoping to get a more formal integration with them soon too, but again I understand the frustration. If you have further questions, shoot me an email: chris@joinautopilot.comApp is fun, support not great, and memes FTW
When I watched the GameStop debacle and afterwards saw Autopilot in build going full bore on memes, I jumped in around launch. The congress critter trackers didn’t do well for me, but the meme trackers are doing well. That memes are the winning investment strategy right now should be terrifying since fundamentals don’t matter like they did, but it’s exciting to be sure.
One issue I had was being in a tracker that was retired (a bit less than a year ago). Positions were not closed out (confirmed by Chris @ autopilot), I asked for a listing of the tracker’s positions at time of close, no reply. I don’t follow the market too closely or use autopilot enough to identify bugs, but they should do better taking care of their customers and not leaving stale positions out there forever.
