These brokers are full retard. Their mobile apps are so trash compared RH. I really don't understand how something so basic and common sense hasn't been adopted in 2021.
Good UX/UI is absolutely crucial to attracting Millennials and younger.
It's critical to just being able to make moves. I had to sit for like 3 minutes googling how to find the options rollover feature just to find it in their workstation. There's no "tools" menu to find these things, it's not on the orders screen, not under trader tools. I genuinely can't figure out how to do it besides specifically searching "rollover tool".
I love having a rollover tool, it's like the most basic thing needed for selling options, but having to know it exists first to search it by name to find it makes no sense.
Also, real-time data requires like a 500 a year subscription from IBKR. Like, what? I can literally get that from google for free. It took me thirty minutes to write a python script toset up real-time market data from basically any source with 30 second resolution. They all have publically available APIs for that specific reason. Why would I ever pay for that?
