Questrade vs. thinkorswim vs. TradingView

It helps me in managing my Canadian portfolio which includes stock-specific investments and ETFs as well. They charge no commission or very little commission on some specific trade.

I would not hesitate to recommend thinkorswim to someone who wants to get into the stock market. The opportunity to use "paper money" can help beginners learn the fundamentals of trading without any risk. Although the trial period is only 60 days, [that's a] good amount of time for new users to learn enough before venturing out into the real world. Adding to the positives, thinkorswim mobile app is superb and a great way to keep up with your portfolio on the go.

This platform is suited for retail traders that use discretionary trading strategies and automated strategies alike. As far as HFT goes I cannot say as I haven't developed any strategies of that kind. So, i can't determine its appropriateness. For forex and stock trading I would say it has everything you need. I also can't vouch for how well it performs for options traders, I would imagine it may not be the go to app as I don't see any og the Greeks that options traders would need to monitor to make trading decisions.

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.

I have personally used Charles Schwab mobile app and online page for about 3 years and have been thoroughly satisfied. Before TD Ameritrade and Charles Schwab merged, I had used thinkorswim for the 60-day paper money trial before using my real money on investments. I confidently believe the time I've spent on thinkorswim has helped me mitigate any big losses in my investments. As for robinhood, the mobile app is a lot better for beginners to understand and the UI can be described as more aesthetically pleasing. thinkorswim triumphs in many other aspects [as well] such as being backed up by TD Ameritrade and Charles Schwab and the plethora of knowledge [a user can access].

TradingView is used by more people, and most of the investing shows I watch use TradingView

• Easy to place orders
• Easy to analyse stocks

• Trading is a peculier activity so this metric is purely subjective and depends on each trader's experience.
