My TDAmeritrade accounts are now with Schwab after the purchase. The mobile trading app for Schwab is arse compared to TDA. Seems like a foreign language. Anyone have any advice?

Switch to Fidelity. That's what I did. Sucks that Schwab would acquire TD and just downgrade everything to their shitty platform.

Agreed. Never enjoyed Schwab's platform. TD was much simpler. I find myself phoning Schwab to walk me through things just so I don't 'muck' it up.
I'm gathering over time we will all figure it out and get used to it; however, it is a bit of a learning curve.

I lost two decades of performance/price history. I'd been with them since they aquired Datek...pretty sure the "TD" and "Ameritrade" parts were a part of a merger/acquisition.

I have no idea how I'm going to track cost basis, other than to trust Schwab to come up with it.

Not a fan.

TOS isn’t going anywhere it just won’t be merged with all accounts til Q4. Schwab app sucks but they’ve confirmed TOS will be the same and available to all Schwab accounts after the TDA move.

Once I was moved to Schwab it was awful. I rolled everything over to fidelity.

I'm trying to get used to it. It's not horrible but not as good. Finding the order status was somewhat of a chore after putting limit orders in.

Td was easy and awesome, I hate Schwab. Probably going to switch to Fidelity, seems to be the consensus
