Do you mean what company? I just use e-trade and their Power E-trade charts. Used to have share builder which then became Capital One Investments and then they transferred all of their accounts to e-trade. It has glitches every so often but so far so good. The zero commissions has made a huge difference. Used to have to pay about $8 per transaction. I enjoy trading ( stocks and covered calls) and do quite well on the whole.

Back in 2011,the doc put me on an anti-depressant when my mum died and I couldn't eat or hardly function. The pills made me really sick and I got off them as quick as I could, however, while taking them I got this crazy, overwhelming urge to trade the stock market!! Nine thirty every morning I couldn't wait for the market to open. Took my mind off everything and gave me a goal in life. I guess Paxil was good for something after all! LOL! Though I'd never agree to take that crap ever again!

My ira is in mutual funds and am thinking of selling and putting the money into a stock trading account and not touching it . I won't get any interest but I won't loose the principle either. It's the only way I can think of to safeguard for what is coming. If anyone has a better idea let me know

I second that recommendation on XRP.

Bought a thousand of them a long time ago. It has a good future. But I use Atomic app ( based in Israel ) for it since I cannot purchase or trade it from the USA.

yes...Webull will give you a free stock for signing up and another free stock when you deposit $100 or more for trading.

Also get a few free stocks for inviting people. I've received a total of 8 free stocks worth about 10 bucks each. I sold them all and bought more AMC.... lol.

I use WeBull for stocks and a few choice crypto, coinbase for a few other choice crypto, and Kraken for the more esoteric smaller cryptos. I bought 7mil shib for like $50...hoping it memes to $1 like doge almost did so I can be an instant millionaire...

I have seven shares of AMC lol. Used to trade it when it was down around six bucks then moved on to a little drone company. Wish I'd held on to some of those six buck shares! :)

I had Sharebuilder, which became ING, which became Capital One investments, which ended up in E Trade at $4.95 per trade. I do have the put and call options.

I buy common stock in companies who manufacture a product and pay a dividend or annuity. The only service companies I hold are transportation companies. No apps used here.

Before you pick a broker app, look into who stopped allowing buys of stocks back in late January regarding Gamestop and other company stocks. I personally use Fidelity after what happened with Robinhood. And as far as the gamestop saga goes, Micheal Burry, the reason for the movie The Big Short, he was just Subpoenaed by the SEC over what happened back in January.

It is being used by the Central Banks of 50 countries to settle cross border payments quickly and for very low cost.
The USA is late to the party and the SEC has sued them!
So...many believe (myself included) that when the lawsuit is over, the price of XRP will go to the moon.

Research "ODL" (on demand liquidity). XRP will be the Internet of money.
Because of the lawsuit, we in the USA must now make our XRP purchases from other countries.

Exchanges such as "Coinbase" has suspended XRP sales since January 2021.

Also research ISO 20022 XRP already is ISO20022 ready!

XRP has utility. It is not a "meme" coin.

When XRP hits $35.00, I can retire.

If it hits $60.00, I will be a multi-millionaire. It's a great dream. I really believe it will happen.
(I made a tidy sum selling Beanie Babies before that craze collapsed)

XRP has utility. It is our future.

I'm not an advisor, so don't take this to the bank. I just went pretty heavy to the short side. I'm going to put the trades on here. Now first off I am a total bear at times, but other times I'm a bull. I always told myself if I see another collapse coming I would like to get in front of it.

To me the charts are really looking crazy. Could they keep going to the upside? Yes. But I'm betting that they don't. I'm also betting to a much smaller degree there may be fireworks in China, both with a financial meltdown and a potential strike on Taiwan.

So my trades:

I'm selling short Starbucks. Partly because of the increase in coffee prices, partly because the Chinese love Starbucks, partly also because of the P/E ratio.

I'm selling short Nvidia. Tied into the Semiconductor market, huge moves over the last year to the upside.

I'm selling short Tesla. I know, possibly not smart. Relatively small position. It currently is at an upper range in trading and I don't think it is likely to move up too much higher.

I bought long expiration, in the money Put options on GM. Mainly because it's so high right now and they have a huge presence in China and would be greatly effected by a shock to the semiconductor market of Taiwan.

I bought long expiration, way out of the money Put options on Taiwan Semiconductor manufacturing company (TSM). This a total risk play. This is my smallest wager, but this wager could pay 50x if something goes down.

So all in all, I feel the market drops from these levels because of all the many factors facing the market right now. But like I said, don't take it to the bank...

Webull and Fidelity. Each has pros and cons. I use the alerts on Fidelity, even for the stocks I hold on Webull.

I've gotten rid of most everything at this point because I have no confidence the market isn't going to crash. I still have some real estate holdings, which seem to be holding their own plus they pay nice dividends, and some stocks that traditionally do well in a recession/depression (think hot dogs and ketchup). I've been selling off for months, waiting for a stock to be on an uprise to get rid of it. I'm still holding the ones that haven't come up since I made the decision -- not certain what I'm going to do about them in the coming weeks.
