Good and bad

I’ve been using it for a year. Good :you can use funds as soon as you authorize a transfer, you have available funds to trade as soon as you sell anything, fees are very low
Bad: it says that you can withdraw funds as soon that account settles however it doesn’t. The system says it can take up to four days but it’s been a week and nothing . It’s a great research tool however funds management is horrible and very difficult to reach customer service .
My funds still tide up

Hello

Just be careful and the hidden fees the other accounts the clearing firm

Best platform

It’s one of the best platforms I’ve had. They have a great set up with AI. Great place to invest your money.

Spreads and Rolling still sucks

Rolling defaults to debit even if your option is a credit.

Rolling is a very slow process that sometimes fails. Editing roll and other option limit orders sometimes fails.

Rolling for $0.0 on the web UI is blocked.

Spreads aren’t grouped.

Managing a proper book on this app is so slow and impossible. They won’t fix the basics, but ooh ahh let’s add useless AI…

FAQ

What can I invest in with this app?

You can invest in a wide range of assets including US-listed registered securities, options, bonds, and cryptocurrency. The app also offers access to treasury accounts for T-Bills and a high-yield cash account.

How does the portfolio transfer bonus work?

The app offers a 1% uncapped match when you transfer your existing brokerage account, IRA, or 401(k) rollover to their platform. Matched funds must remain in the account for at least 5 years to avoid an early removal fee.

Is this app free to use?

The app itself is free to download and use. While there are no explicit in-app purchase mentions for features, the description implies potential fees associated with trading certain assets like bonds, and a rebate program based on trading volume.

Who is eligible to use this investment app?

This app is available to U.S. residents who are 18 years of age or older and subject to account approval. Specific investment types may have additional requirements or disclosures.

What are the risks associated with investing through this app?

All investing involves risk of loss, including loss of principal. Cryptocurrency is highly speculative and involves a high degree of risk. Options are risky and not suitable for everyone. Securities investments are not FDIC insured, have no bank guarantee, and may lose value.
