Do you have different ones for crypto vs stock. What is best and which to avoid?

Fidelity - Good software, nice website user interface. Options are 0.65/c, Stock trades are 0 commission. Has tons of great features and great research debt you can go endlessly into. - Also bank wires are free and money markets can give u roughly 4.7% on SPAXX/FDRXX. - great customer service
Schwab - Just as good as Fidelity, might have better software - great customer service


Robinhood - I tend to avoid robinhood, rough customer service
Webull - rough customer service

Ok cool. Customer service really that important though? Don't really see using them beyond the initial set up

Schwab - Is for my long term investments for when I FIRE.

TastyTrades - where I sell premium and daytrade.

TD Ameritrade Think or Swim - also trade and for CNBC. But they are owned by Schwab now. So I have been preparing for the move.

IBKR - Great for margin, low rates.

Those are the 4 main ones I use.

I have used WeBull and Robinhood before too.

Webull is the best out of all the ones I used for normal trading.

The reason is because Webull is designed specifically for mobile devices and the technology is up to date.

Most of the legacy players like Td ameritrade etc the app is obsolete.

For hardcore day trader and options trading, think or swim is probably the best

To avoid : Bybit, hidden fees. horrible accounts structure. sucks because there is nice liquidity there.

To use : Dydx. no fees if you're under 100k vol/month. dex > cex. less liq tho.

ledger tradelink. to be tested. just saw the announcement so let's see.

I use TDameritrade for stocks

Kucoin for crypto

Both have been fine, never had any problems

i love webull's mobile app. i use lightspeed for intraday plays and webull for more swing trades and fiddling with options. wish they add support for poor man's covered calls
