in #trading6 years ago

RobinHood lets you Invest in stocks, ETFs, options, and cryptocurrencies, all commission-free, right from your phone or desktop. They take no fees and platform is superb easy. Hence it got popular lately especially that they have added crypto.
Currently you can trade there:

  • Bitcoin (BTC)
  • Bitcoin Cash (BCH)
  • Bitcoin SV (BSV)
  • Dogecoin (DOGE)
  • Ethereum (ETH)
  • Ethereum Classic (ETC)
  • Litecoin (LTC)

Sadly news came out - they are selling data of customers to high frequency traders.

So when something is free.. you are the product.

Robinhood is a broker. That means it is not able to buy or sell stocks directly. Instead, it routes orders to agencies which are able. If they don't route them, they would either be unable to perform what customers were asking on their orders or would be performing it on-the-paper and lying to their customers.
