I am planning to do long term passive investing in a diversified portfolio. I would like to use a platform that might be a little expensive but at least safe, reliable, and well designed with a good user experience. As they say if the product is free then you are the product, which I think is true of Robinhood. I have a betterment account but don’t want to pay unnecessary fees to robo-advisors. I am fine with doing some basic research and investing in diversified portfolios myself. I am thinking of Etrade and wealthfront, but perhaps there are better platforms out there?

    If you’re looking for an actual hands on platform that gets you closer than most. Thinkorswim by TD Ameritrade is my recommendation.

    It offers a ton of customisation and you can also manage multiple accounts all very easily.

      Agreed on the service part. Personally, I haven'y seen any benefit of the service on eTrade as a platinum customer for the commissions I have paid till now over last many years (over 10k). But that may not be the preference for others.

      For the majority of passive investors you wouldn’t.

      If anything, you could see those fees more as a piece of mind in that your positions were executed and routed when you needed them, and that the service has had no issues or caused any heart palpitations due to security breaches.

      For the majority of RH users this isn’t and hasn’t been the case. Thus, they are more of the product.

      Wow, that looks good, but pretty complex. I am not looking to do day trading. How has your experience been with IBKR?
      Do you actively execute different investment strategies frequently?
