Hi HN community,
I would appreciate if you could share which trading brokerage (if any) you prefer the most and why (execution quality, UI, fees, user support, etc.)
Thank you!

#2Robinhood hands down!! To the Moon!
Before moving to the US I used to trade via Degiro (Dutch local brokerage), there is no much choice in the Netherlands.. US is the land of opportunities like space conquest and commission-free trading :)

#3Interactive Brokers, great execution quality, normally use their desktop version since find their mobile app somewhat cumbersome..
P.S. Oliver, is that really you? How was your space flight? :) Btw your comment is "dead" so you should contact the admin to fix that.

#7I like TD Ameritrade (now owned by Schwab, but still has their own web site) for its generally good execution (as far as I can tell), but mostly because it still has the best mobile (iPad) app that I use for the majority of my stock and options trading. Note that there are two apps: TD Ameritrade and thinkorswim (aka TOS). TOS is the one you want, and their desktop TOS app is also really good, but I actually find the iPad app to be more than sufficient for most of my trading.
They continue to work and improve it (which I'm relieved about, because Schwab's mobile app is awful, Webull is worse, and I don't know how anyone uses RobinHood for options trading, it's so hard to do cancel/replace orders with them, which I do constantly).
