Wandering if anyone took a Robinhood Gold over 50k.
There is $200 fee per month plus 5% APR which I could not understand.
Is it fixed $200 or it varies?
Can anyone explain who took Robinhood gold over 50k?

    It's gold for RH, not for you

    I have RH Gold, the fee is $10/month. I don’t have $50k in the account and I can’t find anything stating the fee rises at a certain amount.

    What is your source?

      I don't any more. I used to trade options and use margin but no more. My spouse is a FINRA registered employee so we are restricted from trading without first getting approval on every trade from her firms compliance department. It's a huge pain so I don't bother. I just buy Vanguard funds.

      But if I did I would use IB. Their fees are much lower than RH (less than half for margin), you can control order execution (RH makes money on execution at your expense), you can decide which lot to sell (RH is only FIFO), you get access to most world markets, you can trade in multiple currencies, etc.

      In fact many professional mutual fund portfolio managers themselves use IB to manage their funds. Not the big ones (they mostly use Bloomberg) but small to midsize funds. It really has pretty much everything.

      But most people shouldn't do any of that. Most people are better served by buying and holding broad market index funds and for that purpose it really doesn't matter what platform you use. The only limitation I'd call out for RH for ordinary savers is that married people shouldn't use it since you can't name a beneficiary.

      RH doesn't have dividend reinvestment either.

      They charge a fixed fee that’s equivalent to the interest on a margin account.

      OP
      Well they also lends you money over 50k to invest.
      And its not a fixed amount if you borrow over 50k
      Any idea about APR ?
      Its written something as 5% apr and $200 Robinhood fees
      So is it 200 + 5% APR
      I borrowed about 80k from them
