▪ Robinhood changed the game with commission-free trading with a beautiful UI. Unfortunately, their upsides stop there. Their backend always seems to be going down, their data seem to be wrong, and their business practices are very shady.
▪ I switched to TD Ameritrade because of these downsides. While TD Ameritrade's execution time and price are very feasible, their UI is very hard to navigate.
▪ They have an alternative trading platform called Think or Swim intended for professional traders with even more analytics that can confuse inexperienced traders.
