Trade execution that takes hours?

Sheesh

I've tried etrade and Webull.

I mush prefer etrade.

I've never once had a single issue or slowdown. No bugs.

Webull works but I don't care for the user interface. The app is better than the website version.

Etrade app is fya!

TD Ameritrade here. Usually within a few seconds during market hours, after hours might take a little bit longer but not really by much (unless I forget to select day+ext)

It takes that long on a market order or limit order because a market order should be instantaneous on any platform? A limit order on the other hand can take as long as it needs too. I guess what I’m trying to say is make sure you don’t think it’s slow when putting in limit orders.

I use the youtrade portion of the chase app. Regular brokerage, non-IRA. My trades get executed in like ~5sec

Why does anybody use Robin Hood? TD Ameritrade and a lot of the major brokers have no fees.

Why not? My son uses it because it’s format is really easy. And don’t give me the glitch BS because they all glitch. A lot of these kids are into crypto too and it’s easy to trade on RH.

I use TDA and Scottrade before TDA bought them. I know we’ve talked about it before but do you remember what they used to charge before RH came around? I do. It was 6.99 a trade. 14 bucks to buy and sell a stock. Without RH coming along all these big brokerages would still be shafting traders.

I’ve never understood the arrogance of this board that not only belittle people who use RH but act like they haven’t been good for the industry. They have. And they have gotten young people interested in investing, and that’s a good thing.

Easy there. I was just asking.

Robinhooders receive a bad rap but they invest into the same stocks that TDA and Etrade investors invest in everyday. The billionaires want to bitch about Robinhooders and love to point out Hertz but won’t mention how they also piled on Kodak and rode it to 52 either. Billionaires are scared that traders may be able to make money without doing the old school method of studying charts and financials all day. And that grinds their gears.

However, as far as Robinhood the app goes, the details are too sophomoric and it doesn’t open for trading until what? 9? That’s a no from me.

I have etrade and TD ThinkorSwim. I prefer etrade because like this site the text and graphics are all dark on light background which is much easier on my eyes. Etrade is a cleaner and more intuitive than TD though TD may have a bit more powerful tools that are plagued only by a computerish interface.
