robinhood vs. TradingView

robinhood has been great for me as a first time investor using "play money" outside of my main 401K and retirement. It has options for purchasing partial shares, which means you don't have to purchase a full, even share in order to invest. I love to option to buy and sell crypto so easily. Crypto prices move quickly. I can set alerts when I want to get in and for when I want to get out. The availability of index funds also balance it well. I like reading the articles and morningstar ratings that provide direction on market sentiment, fair value and quick earnings results.

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.
