E*TRADE
During the COVID pandemic, the airline companies were taking a big hit on travel and I saw this as a great opportunity to invest in airline stock because its value in the market had dropped tremendously. I used this opportunity to invest in multiple airline stocks through e-trade by buying the stock at an all-time low for airline stock. It was a great investment for me in the long term.

MetaQuotes Ltd
1. it is best suited in terms of algorithmic trading, where it helps in better understanding with time intervals and easy-to-use UI . Best for forex trading. 2. Security feature is not well trusted. anyone can join, anyone can fake with screenshots and pics and can show the fake profits which are breaking the trust. There must be a system to not support these activities.

Alternatives Considered
E*TRADE
robinhood is similar to e-trade but they are geared more to bitcoin and companies that may not be offered on E*TRADE because they are off-market companies.
