I've been using RobinHood, but am leaving partially out of protest, and partially because their service is garbage. I'm tired of the website and app constantly going down.

Gonna try Interactive Brokers. Only fee is on options, and it's like 50 cents, still 2.59% margin rate, and if they loan your shares out to short you get a cut. Seems like a better deal.

I’m waiting to make the jump to interactive from my RHI don’t really want to pay the fees to have stocks moved without selling tho lol.

Also have a TD account. Thinkorswim is quality stuff and I use that for some basic charting I need.

IB is a great broker the platform isn't very user friendly but all the other aspects make it a nice choice. Paying commission is a normal thing I tend to see "no commission" brokers as people that don't have interest in your success, their incentive is to make you click as much as possible with nice apps with big green and red buttons

If I was American I most certainly would use thinkorswim through TD.
