TradeStation vs Robinhood
| TradeStation | Robinhood |
|---|---|
 |
 |
| US based broker with pricing methods split to cater for active day traders, or longer term stock holders |
Robinshood have pioneered mobile trading in the US. Their offer attempts to provide the cheapest share trading anywhere.
We do not recommend trading with Robinhood. Their business practices have harmed traders and their "free" trading offer has been criticized for actually costing their traders millions of dollars.
