Options Trading Apps Best to Worst 

Do you know I've never been part of Patréon ? However, you've piqued my interest enough that I may join. It's amazing how much HARD WORK goes into putting together fabulous content on RU-vid, not to mention the amount of determination and focus necessary AND the financial investment and commitment to your channel, growing and maintaining subscribers and keeping so dang good looking on camera. I am loving the facial hair. I'm older than you so you'd think I could grow me "sommadem dat dare kinda hairs u gotcha, whel dat dear dem tings a sprout'n like 'Sippi greens we grows here in 'Bama" or sometimes referred to as a mustache! This here 107.5% Italian grows red, brown, black, blonde and even some lovely chartreuse hairs-so having any sort of palatable Mustache is impossible. Or for those who prefer the easy-to-express Zulu language, this jovial comment is for y'all. It's not naughty and won't be attacked by the the RU-vid zealous ones: "Umncintiswano wokugibela amadevu ngeSonto ngeSonto ePalm Beach!" Sides right off the tongue, eh? Bottom line, with the utmost respect, is I'm jealous you've got a mustache so bushy and full, so oxymoronically soft and rigid that is likely to be banned on the RU-vid unless you've got a solid NC-17 in all your videos and a strong Graphic Warning on each and every clever thumbnail! You look older, more intellectual, ever so trustworthy and kiddo I'd honestly rank you a 8/10 for Content, 9/10 for Delivery and a 10/10 for Visual Appeal. A good mustache is found to be Molto attraente e bella in Italy or Gu math tarraingeach in Ireland. Not too much spoken in Italiano that isn't appealing, whereas it's hit or miss with the Galeck is elf off the tongue. Lol. I hope this dry and odd sense of humor brings a little smile to your day. My brother I love your content and I have learned from you and sincerely believe in you. If ever you're interested in appearing live or prerecorded on Yahoo Finance, Benzinga, CNBC and others- please hmu at blairfilm@gmail.com. How about doing a few videos here in North Palm Beach? I'll get you set up with great morning light and a couple assistants to help with editing and other tedious and important jobs. Did I mention how good the Italian food is here? Or that your background can be of Mr Tiger Woods' super yacht, the gorgeous vessel named "Privacy", and on the balcony overlooking Old Port Cove Safe Harbor Marina and the warm Caribbean healing blue waters of the Atlantic Ocean. So baby questions for you. Plenty of time to ask. Until then don't put a ring on anyone's finger unless you know in your heart that the love is real and no matter how abundant the love is now, you can only foresee a very happy future and with more love. This i wish for you and for all. Peace be with you. Peter in 🌴 ⛱️

Schwab

E*Trade

Is Robinhood better than Schwab? I have a a Schwab account and just started options trading spreads. I have learned their platform but its dated and misses some of the convenient features on Robinhood. Like providing a P/L graph. Idk if its worth switching

I like the availability of charts on webull and their growing portfolio of cryptocurrency. I don't like his long LIMIT orders take and I loathe MARKET trades on Crypto with sometimes enormous slippages. They also have daily maintenance that gravely affects the ability to trade. I do like components that incorporate others on their platform with social media type interactions. I HATE getting so many promotional messages and would prefer they adapt to the SIMPLE Robinhood format for options trading. Having mentioned Robinhood in positive reference I'll need to also state that Robinhood is attractive in the App world but if there's a Heaven "They Just Ain't Going!" Lol. Cheers and safe trading and great success to you and yours. Peter

@@cryptopeter1 so what do you use?

Right. I've heard they don't have as good of fills as Fidelity & TOS though, so it may not be worth it.

@@TheFinancialMinutes I have done A LOT of spreads with Tasty, and a few with Ameritrade and eTrade. Let's get eTrade out of the way. Bad fills, horrible customer service, and basically, it is a never again for me. Ameritrade is decent, but I hate the layout, and getting moved up to be able to do spreads when I started was such a shit show, that I also gave them a never again. But I do use their charts. This brings me to Tastyworks. I get good fills, if I have a question, they ALWAYS pick up the phone....BUT, I'm about to leave them. Why? Because I want to do SPX spreads and maybe have 3-4 going at the same time. They are not clean with keeping my spreads separate. I had 2 in and 2 out, and they calculated it as 3 day trades. When I called them, they agreed, but I still had to wait a week to trade again. But I could get around that when I hit 25k in that account. The bigger long term problem is that if I already have a spread on, and I want another one using the same leg, it's an effing nightmare and not workable. There is no reason for this. and because of this, I'm going to be replacing them with someone else.

correction, Tasty calculated my 2 in and 2 out as 4 day trades, not 3. This should had been 2.

Any time 🙏

Thanks a ton Peter 🙏

Aries

Robinhood definitely has the worst fills, no doubt about it.

I've deleveraged myself out of margin because of the increasing rates and falling stock prices

No commissions or fees at Aries, they still don't group spreads though so I decided to move to TD/Schwab's Thinkorswim platform

Aries is pretty good and international tradearies.com/everythingoptions

Realy i use rh and Webull and Robin Hood is way more user friendly and quicker for trading options i only use Webull for swing trading and rh for my day trading which is the majority of what i do

Not sure about Robinhood, but I know Schwab & Fidelity allow it

Plus, they cap their fees at 10 contacts I believe.

Right so they’re cheaper. I wonder how their fill prices compare.

@@TheFinancialMinutes yeah fills aren't the greatest imo.

You’ll get the $100 bonus if you deposit $500

Sure, give me a few weeks. Currently studying for my CFA exam next week but planning to make more long format videos here on the channel after.

Only non bit comment

Wt do you suggest?

Do you even trade options because options trade super easy an fill super quick on Robin Hood and I’ve used personally and traded on five different brokerages as an option trader and Robin Hood is honestly the fastest

Interactive Brokers or Aries

@@TheFinancialMinutes interactive has a rlly dogshit UI i cant handle that

Thinkorswim was made by TD Ameritrade. I prefer their Thinkorswim platform to the TD Ameritrade platform and their website.

I tried it for a bit but never really liked it enough to switch

I dont trust anything owned by the Chinese gov.

@@TheFinancialMinutes they don't allow to trade custom option strategies

It doesn’t let you open contract past 3:40pm eastern time

Ran out of ideas

@@TheFinancialMinutes that is unfortunate man. Maybe consider some real time stuff about your own trades successes, problems, goals, etc.

Ya I've been using them the last 2 months. I'll make a vid on it soon.

Didn’t try their platform enough to give a review of it

Webull in my opinion the best..

Webull is a great app, but they are not a good options broker, you don't even get real time options data enabled off the bat, and you can't sell naked at all! If they enable level 4/5 I would consider going back.

I talked about fill prices in the vid and said that was one of the sacrifices of RH. Also been using TOS for 6 years it just doesn’t have a user friendly platform that I prefer.

If it didn’t even make the list, it’s below F tier.

@OriginalSchaffino Exactly. I've heard awful reviews of E*Trade.

E-Trade is fine as long as a few conditions are meet: - Use Power E-trade - Adjust your laptop setting for optimal performance. PCs get the best performance. - Keep option orders mid-size at most. - Avoid scalping (day trading options). Only weekly or leaps.

Never heard of it. I’ll check it out and get back to you.

@@TheFinancialMinutes Thanks!

If only 😅 I'm getting robbed by the bid ask spread instead but UI is still untouchable

@@TheFinancialMinutes ah, makes sense. I wonder, could limit orders help with the bid/ask discrepancies? Thanks for the great content

@@hankigoe8615 Yes but the fills take longer and you won’t get the best prices compared to other brokers. From what I’ve seen E*Trade has the quickest fills at the best prices.

I’ve heard really bad reviews on ETrade

I have been using it for one and half years trading options. Commissions are.50 and free if the price falls below .10. Has paper trading, lots of charts, and customization. You should check it out.

I think a bad UI can make it harder to sell your long-term investments so maybe not a bad choice

@@TheFinancialMinutes haha right. It’s like how a website makes it super easy and intuitive to sign up and pay but then they become unbelievably incompetent when it comes to accessing the place to unsubscribe. Fidelity is like just put your money in here and don’t mess with it you idiot…. come back and look at the numbers every once in a while. which is good advice for most people honestly, a vast majority of Fidelity customers probably don’t need to worry about options or day trading

Coming soon!

Sponsored? If only 🤣

how are the order fills?

Absolutely the relationship between risk and return is left skewed, so with high risk trading strategies you'll have outsized losses and some substantial gains.

Good UI but not worth the geopolitical risk

@@TheFinancialMinutes you bring up a very fair point sir, I will reassess

Lol it was a top floor bedroom at an apartment costing me $1,100/mo Love seeing people commenting like they know my situation when they don’t know anything about me. The algorithm thanks you. 🤖

TDA is a good one, just don't like their fee since you get the same fill price Robinhood gives you

@@TheFinancialMinutes FYI. TDA is no more. Fee was not a problem to me, their App was the most human friendly ever.

@DevRealm Lol no bait. Usability over everything.

Usability is untouchable

@@TheFinancialMinutes i hope this was not a pun ;)

Right. So they’re actually cheaper since TOS & Fidelity charge for entry & exit.

they only charge open and not close and are also capped at 10 USD. so if you trade more than 10 contracts its actually cheaper than all other brokers

Yeah, I was about to say that. So if you just open an option and let it expire, does it count as only opening and not exiting?

Ok. I get that you hate RH. But you can't ignore it. Nor can you beat their UI.

@@millenialmusings8451 They can be ignored. Most do not make money nor have good execution speed.
