I was initially going to transfer to WeBull but when I searched all the reasons I wanted to abandon RobinHood I found that WeBull basically has all the same issues lol


What issues? I would like to know too. Because I use WeBull and so far everything is great! No fees no commissions nothing its nice I think and you get free stocks when you sign up!

I have portfolios at Fidelity, M1Finance, Robinhood, and WeBull.

M1 is my favorite for the long-term and Robinhood is my favorite for the short-term/cash park.

Man I've been using IBKR for all of one hour and I already hate it.

Everything good costs a multiple-hundred dollar subscription per year and as far as I can tell I can't even trade options spreads without those tools.

I think when I was looking at Canadian subscriptions by the time I had level 2 data and everything I wanted I was looking at like 70 bucks a month, so I never pulled the trigger.

Might investigate quest trade. I hate moving money to new brokerages, at least here in Canada it takes time.

I only put 2k into it, so I think I'm just gonna put 2k into ZOM and put my next deposit into WeBull to try them.

Yeah getting out of IBKR. Platform is trash. The entire point is to get you to subscribe to $500+ yearly "advanced trading" platforms. They even lock real time market data that you can get from google behind a pay wall.

Have 2k deposited. Won't let me use my 2k to buy because "you wouldn't satisfy the margin requirement", despite the fact that the trade would put zero margin in use.

I advise avoiding IBKR. Supremely negative experience.

Been using schwab and td.

Mainly use td for my longer term investments as it's a bit better to view on desktop. Schwab for the stuff I actively trade on phone
