Actual Traders Opinion

I use Tradier for my day trading, was previously a Schwab (Thinkorswim), Interactive Brokers, and TastyTrade client, here is my opinion.

If you look at the reviews online or here, it looks as though Tradier is some sort of offshore brokerage or scam. This is not the case at all, let me explain.

Tradier is an API first brokerage (meaning you develop your own financial software and let them fulfill orders for you) for semi professional clients with large accounts. It also offers a desktop platform and a web platform, plus this app.

First of all, the “bad platforms”.

The desktop platform is mediocre and all you need for volatility statistics as retail, the web experience is phenomenal if you simply need a PC browser window for quick trades. The pretty UI platforms need to be either self developed with API key access, or use a partner platform on their Hub. The mobile app is not designed to be what you trade on, just a pocket system to close trades and manage funds on the go, there are partnership platforms that offer a pretty UI mobile experience for your account.

Next, the “hidden fees”.

There are no hidden fees, everything is upfront. You pay commission to use their fulfillment services free, reduce it with their 10$ a month plan, and have better deals for the 35$ a month plan. The fulfillment fee from Apex Clearinghouse and Taxes are your responsibility as with any other service. But why charge people money for low/no commissions when mainstream platforms do it free?

Because the people looking to purchase these plans are native to the SPX and XSP index world, not equity focused. Tradier offers a 10 cent index option commission for its 35$ mo plan, which is the best you will find outside a professional desk, even including the tax and transaction burden.

So, if you want to trade etf and stock options with a clean mobile experience, do it on robinhood or webull. But if you are native to index options and need the lowest commissions possible per contract (Tastytrade offers competitive large order commissions as well) this is a great platform.

Unfortunately this comment will likely be hidden underneath the noise of 1 star reviews for people who don’t even know what service this company provides.

Scam, do not download

They will charge you $10 subscription, the app is terrible for trading

Response from developer

Hi Antoniol2022, Sorry to hear about your experience. We try to be super transparent about our pricing during the onboarding flow by showing the subscription if someone chooses it. There's also no requirement or commitment to have a subscription which can be easily canceled online without needing to call or email. We'd love to hear your feedback on the app and what you found terrible about it. If you'd like to provide feedback on features you'd like to see please reach out to us at service@tradierbrokerage.com.

They close ur account

Wierdos

Overpriced, janky app

The fees are unreal. App feels like an intern made it. Used for less than a year before deleting for a better brokerage

DO NOT USE THIS APP

They can withhold funds as they please
Keep you from making trades you want
And never have the best interest of the customer in mind.
Customer support is a disaster of tech support who have no idea what they are doing and misguiding you into insanity… try another app 👍

Worst App ever

Don’t use this app!!!

Response from developer

STAY FAR AWAY

This brokerage is the most unethical crooked brokerage service on earth. They constantly change rules and terms which are never favorable for the clients. Their fees are very high and unreasonable. The app has major engineering glitches and sometimes you cannot even log in! I honestly cannot even believe this brokerage is even still in business. Actually, after what has all happened as of recent, they probably won’t be soon. STAY FAR FAR AWAY!

Scam App will steal your money

Do not use this app they will decide what to do with your stocks and money and then tell you thay you owe them hundreds of dollars they are fully in cahoots with Wall Street and will do anything to scam customers out of millions of dollars which they did recently to throhdands of us

Unethical and unhelpful!

All of my stuff is gone! No help on brokerage end. Lots of false promises

Nice

Very good

BEWARE. UNETHICAL BUSINESS PRACTICES

This app has backtracked, contradicted, and changed their rules and regulations so many times and so frequent. They offer so resolution or solution, they simply change rules and expect you to bite the bullet. Very unprofessional and borderline fraudulent with the way they disperse fees. They charged me a fee for buying a stock, charged a fee for the stock reverse splitting, charged a fee when I sold the stock, then proceeded to put me in negative shares owing that stock and will not let me buy the stock back as it continues to rise in price, and they kept every fee they charged and screwed me over by forcing me to wait until the stock peaks to buy back.

Simply put, I would advise you go and trade with a much more secure, legitimate, and ethical firm before you waste your money and time here.

Unprofessional

After a corporate action was reversed, I needed to cover a security I had already sold. However, Tradier deliberately and needlessly prohibited me from doing so, forcing me to incur fees from their clearing house. Very slimy on their part. I’m disappointed. Do NOT trust them with your money. Beware of hidden fees. These guys are bad news.
