Both are pretty good; Schwab seeks out a little for other reasons. Like custodianship and service. But soon it's not going to matter as both firms are set to become one pretty soon.

Alt is very well suited, I have found some really good assets, I like how it is connecting people from different backgrounds and places, to come out and sell\buy their assets. Which truly are ASSETS. I have found many childhood memories. I am very happy with the same and look forward to keeping using the site.

I think this site does a great job in providing the information that any day trader, market timer, or long-term investor. I think that it is useful to all types of people who would take the time to understand it. Now it could be extremely overwhelming to a novice or someone who has difficulty understanding ding financial concepts, but to those that are willing it's a great platform.

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].
