Highly comparable. thinkorswim was a great platform and Fidelity has achieved competing against it. Ease of learning curve with training and the ability to configure exactly what the user wants to see is a huge plus. The customizations available are a major bonus and Fidelity's overall customer experience is a beacon in the marketplace.

I have used WealthSimple before, and I can say that Questrade is just a bit more intuitive for me. It's catered for beginners, but also has additional features for those who are a bit more advanced. Questrade is a flexible platform that allows you to create and track various types of portfolios, create and track various types of strategies, etc. By far the superior choice in my opinion.

• In my experience, Questrade has delayed me for months! I feel it's a waste of time
• I don't know how they deserve such high ratings, maybe they buy marketing and reviewers. In my opinion, don't buy into their sales pitch!!!
