Actual Traders 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.

DO NOT USE THIS APP
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 👍
