Bad service & phone trading system

2022-05-26

Tried to buy Xpev on Wednesday and was told that I couldn’t put in an order after hours; by the Rep & his leader. And after selling my Tqqq’s at the close in order to do so at $157... They then continue upwards to almost $159!! I then after hours tried to order the Xpev again with no luck; it again told me to call for details and I did; only to be told that this app doesn’t take pre-bids?? So, I asked him to have someone call me with information on when I could bid? No one let me know anything & once again I miss out on getting into the Tqqq’s at an even better price that morning!!!??? Very poor service and awkward phone trading screen. Since this app took over Scottrade’s great & easy trading platforms; I’ve had nothing but problems with incorrect information numerous times and trades that don’t or won’t execute; because they don’t allow you to put in a standard good til canceled extended hours order!!?? Instead you have to try to remember that at 4 am in the morning!!! Otherwise you’re order just sits there until 9:30 am & in the mean time you’ve missed out on several premarket trades!!!? Needless to say I’m not pleased with them & I’ve lost out on a lot of great trades because of them!! Think twice before switching to this app!!!??

Annual Tax Reporting

2022-06-27

I have enjoyed using their tool. However, there are a couple of serious deficiency issues with TDA’s tax reporting and beginning basis issues:
1. They never seem to get the 1099 tax reporting done right and done right first time. It has become their norm to just send out a Correction every year. Very frustrating. Case in point: 2020’s 1099 was issued mid-February, and the Corrected 1099 came out a week later. 2019 the same thing except the Corrected 1099 came out much later and I had to file an amended return. Terrible reporting service.
2. Their system does not manage inbound asset transfers from outside systems. It also does not manage asset transfers between this app accounts. I have several equity management accounts with TDA. They refuse to post the correct original purchase prices of assets. Instead, they post $0. So, when I sold some of my equities, they reported $0 basis value to the IRS, and now I am in the middle of a tax year 2018 IRS audit... thanks to TD Ameritrades terrible tax reporting system.

I would not recommend their product to active traders and traders who want to transfer assets to their system. And, I definitely would not recommend opening up multiple accounts and transfer any assets between the accounts... unless you enjoy IRS audits.

Nice Platform Overall

2022-07-28

For the most part, I find the mobile platform easy to use, and especially like how the dashboard allows me a view of what’s happening in my positions and account in general. It’s a bit tricky finding how to get to the Options that I want to buy to open, sell to close, sell to open and buy to close. I can’t give it four (4) or five (5) stars because I’m annoyed that once my login credentials are accepted and I’m in, I feel that should be enough so I can work in my account. But No! Every single trade, whether it’s to buy or sell that fast moving stock, or option, I am REQUIRED to re-Enter my F’ing password! Now, if I was an idiot and used a simple “easy to guess” password then I might justify this inconvenience, but I have an extremely difficult password and, by the time I’ve entered my password to buy, for example, the ideal entry price has gone! Needless to say it has cost me a lot of money not gained because of this! Developers, get your butts in gear and rectify this!
Update:
The developers still have not made it any easier to allow me to make a more timely buy or sell on TDAmeritrade. And because I refuse to compromise my account be creating Mickey Mouse passwords that can be easily cracked, I’m reducing my stars for TDAmeritrade to 2.

TD Ameritrade app

2022-08-29

First off, I would like to say that I do enjoy the large amount of information on TDAmeritrade and the screen. On the flip side though, there is sooo much information on the page that it requires the user to toggle between pages to achieve the information needed to make a sound transaction if buying or selling calls and puts. This is something that has been a major turnoff for me as one who in the past with (Scottrade) exercised the sale of many call contracts. The screens on the mobile app and my main home computer don’t really differ that much from one another. This along with my account rep. at my local branch office NEVER, returning my calls, even after leaving messages that are requesting assistance and the closing of my local branch office have me at a crossroads of whether to stay with TD Ameritrade or find another company that can assist me with my account needs. It has been sometime since the TD Ameritrade/Scottrade buyout and I have tried to be patient and learn the new platforms, ins/outs of TD Ameritrade’s services, but with the lack of support from my local rep. or branch office, we may be at the point of separation. Thanks, Tom B.

Great app with one really big exception

2022-09-30

I use TDAmeritrade frequently to monitor my portfolio when I’m on the road, and find it extremely easy to use and navigate. I would give it 5 stars if it wasn’t for the one big issue with caching. I now have to shut it down then launch TDAmeritrade again in order to clear the cache and see the most up to date prices before buying or selling stocks. I contacted tech support on several occasions regarding this issue because it has cost me tens of thousands of dollars in the past. Their first recommendation to delete and reinstall TDAmeritrade caused me to lose my entire (local) watch list. When that didn’t work, they advised me to periodically shut down TDAmeritrade and relaunch. This approach seems to solve the caching issue, but I’m not sure it’s a good solution because I might one day forget and make another bad buy/sell decision based on outdated information. Ordinarily, I don’t write reviews, and would prefer to applaud good products and services rather than complain about bad ones. This issue is a biggie if you have a fairly substantial portfolio, and needs to be addressed at the root cause. I also have accounts at a few other brokerages, and while their apps don’t exhibit this problem, I find that they pale in comparison with TD Ameritrade’s app, so I really hope they fix it once and for all so I can rate them 5 stars.

Dark Mode? U.I. Update?

2022-10-31

I like TDAmeritrade , a lot of good things and not a whole lot of bad things but I think there are a few things that are lacking a bit for me. The first is the inaccessible use of dark mode. Waking up at 5 a.m. pst the first thing I like to do for 10 minutes is read through the news. Without dark mode I am blasted with an extreme bright light even on the lowest setting. In my opinion I think a dark mode just like think or swim would greatly benefit TDAmeritrade. Another thing I would like to see is an update U.I. I like that I can customize it but something feels off. For example, I love reading the news as I mentioned earlier but I also like going to the sectors to see what’s up and what’s down. If there was a way I could get certain articles straight from the sectors tab if I clicked on it. Then that would help tremendously. For instance I can go to my news tab for the most up to date news but if I want something more specific to a certain sector then I go to the sectors and click on one which would bring up all news relevant to that sector. Overall I think TDAmeritrade is good but not great. But with the addition of these new features I think it can become even better than it is now. :)

Strengths & Weaknesses

2022-12-02

I typically use TDAmeritrade several times a day to trade stocks, options, and a few mutual funds. I like the ease with which I can enter and check on orders, including revising and replacing them. High marks on this. Easy access to multiple accounts: regular brokerage, Roth & traditional IRAs is also excellent.

There’s room for improvement on access to stock research. Research offerings have been reduced since the Schwab acquisition. (Analysis from Credit Suisse was removed). The research available is overweighted towards stock technicals than company fundamentals in my view. For months there have been issues even getting some research report documents to even load, although that situation appears to have improved. Finally, the display of (pdf) documents from one research source doesn’t work right. Blocks of content visible on a computer monitor are hidden by other blocks of content. It took a couple of tries to even get TDA tech support to acknowledge this issue. Their app vendor is putatively working on it, but it’s been a few months on that too. C- for this part.

Overall, a strong B.

Really great app!

2023-01-02

The ONLY reason why I give TDAmeritrade a 4 star instead of 5 is because it would be even better if TDAmeritrade supported preopening the market at 4:00am like “Webull” does. However, TDAmeritrade is really great. Once you open up an account and set up your details, in around 3 weeks you get your TD bank card because TDAmeritrade is also tied in with a real bank. So as you’re playing the market you also can leave money you haven’t used in your card like a bank. The prices on TDAmeritrade are legit LIVE so everything is precise and current. I like how it does have pre market though so it starts at 7am, then regular stock market hours are from 9-4pm... but Ameritrade pre closes at 8. So you have more time to buy or sell. When it comes to depositing money though, it has to be within regular stock market hours. I used to use TDAmeritrade called “robinhood” because it’s easier to understand for beginners. However, the prices aren’t completely live and it doesn’t have the pre market which would annoy me. I’m glad I found out about TDAmeritrade. It’s pretty good in overall.

Very functional app

2023-02-03

I’ve been using TDAmeritrade since May 2020 and I can say that it meets my needs as a new individual investor. Within TDAmeritrade , it provides the necessary information I need to get a quick idea of how my stocks are doing daily and tracks how they are doing with its history tracking. Buying/selling is easy and straight forward and it keeps a log of your transactions. (Very important for tax season). Benefits are that they send you your tax forms, free thinkorswim program that can really help you search for stocks right for you want at the prices you seek, free training videos to help you understand “what the terms/vocabulary mean, how to use TDAmeritrade and other basic guidance in the trading game”. My personal goals are centered in wealth growth and its easy using the reinvest dividend function that automatically takes my dividends and reinvests into the stocks they came from increasing my shares each quarter. Lastly, they send reminders to me and help be involved in the companies I hold shares with. I get alerts when my investments release their financial documents, take actions that effect my shares and even reminds me of my eligibility to vote on company issues when they occur. I still consider myself a beginner but TDAmeritrade gives me confidence to jump in the investment game.

Great Brokerage App With A Few Quirks

2023-03-07

TD Ameritrade is my go to brokerage for most investing due to their non-existent fees, great education system, and broad range of assets. However, their app doesn’t necessarily show off how great the brokerage is overall. TDAmeritrade ’s interface is a bit clunky and is definitely confusing for those new to investing. It also does a pretty poor job of explaining things to users. The overall clunkiness can best be seen by the fact that you have to jump through 3-4 menus to see open and filled orders. Additionally, TD Ameritrade’s great education system can hardly be accessed through TDAmeritrade. You only get access to a few videos. In order to get full usage out of this brokerage service and their education system you really need to access the website through a computer otherwise you’re getting a watered down product. The fact that the news is front and center instead of hidden in a different tab is a breath of fresh air though. Overall this is a great service and a great brokerage, but TDAmeritrade could be made a bit better. Also, don’t open TDAmeritrade expecting any sort of eye catching visuals like other finance apps. TDAmeritrade is barebones in that respect and the only color you’ll see is the green and red of the market. I like that choice though. It makes TDAmeritrade feel more professional.

Intuitive and fun

2023-04-05

Right from the start, TDAmeritrade & online platform works way better than Etrade. I was able to open an account easily with both companies but when it came to TDAmeritrade I made my decision with TDA. I like that I was easily able to make a photograph check deposit within app. Photo deposits take a few days so I’d highly recommend being aware of that before buying stocks. So you guys only get 4 stars because I was forced “unknowingly” into hedge trading! There are interest charges and fees for rolling the dice with borrowed money. So beware. I wasn’t given a warning prompt in TDAmeritrade . No real complaints here because my real money was processing & my stock value went up. So the hedge fund I borrowed was paid off luckily the next day. Anyhow, I find TDAmeritrade easy to locate things and the PC platform has an option to toggle into “Think or Swim” if you prefer darker, more robust functions. The platform offers lots of fun tutorial videos. Apparently you can earn points ! Not sure what it translates into but hey, I’ll earn them. I like that TD Ameritrade has a local branch in Honolulu so I’m able to skip the call center line which totally stinks like every other call center. Wait forever? No thanks. Just call your local rep. Be nice. They’re humans too.

Needs Better Documentation

2023-05-07

Overall I like TDAmeritrade better than the other TD Ameritrade apps. However, making some of the trades is misleading and the documentation online isn’t clear on exactly how to fill in fields. For example, today I setup a STOP LIMIT order to sell if the price drops below $110. I check midday and the price was $89 and the limit never hit. Clearly I setup something wrong, but I followed the steps online to set the LIMIT and the STP. This ultimately cost me over $4500. At least I checked it before it dropped lower. But I am not sure how the documentation matches a real world example. Either that or TDAmeritrade should provide an example of if it sells for LIMIT you get $XXX or STP gets $XXX. Other than that, TDAmeritrade is great. The only other thing I would improve is there is a lot of flipping back and forth between screens. There needs to be an choice to select history for a position so I can see what I bought it for, when I added more shares, and how much my running total is. Ideally from there I would be able to reduce a position and sell (for example) 25 shares that I bought at $10 if I bought 50 at $10 and 50 at $5. But the system usually guesses the shares to sell logically.

Scottrade Transplant

2023-06-07

I had Scottrade mostly because my name is Scott and it seemed the natural way to go. Theirs was an easy system; $7 in, $7 out,so go up 14 bucks to break even. When S.Trade got sponged up by A.Trade, I was absorbed in the bargain. T.D. Ameritrade seems at least similar and it has been working well for me. TDAmeritrade works well and has been meeting all my needs.
Update: A few years ago I began trading on a different platform for free with some exceptions.
I had a few stocks left in Ameritrade and was gradually phasing it out. When Ameritrade is switched to a similar system, free with exceptions, I had no more reason to phase it out. Ameritrade has a good reputation and is completely reliable.
The one complaint I have is that it takes so long to access my money for trading after I have sold my stock. It would be nice if there was access to my money for trading purposes. immediately after a sale. Often times I see an opportunity, but cannot take advantage of it because I have to wait until the funds are settled. The same is true with deposits there is no system in place whereby I make a deposit and part of it will become available for trading immediately.

Mobile Opportunity Offers Independence

2023-07-09

As a former U.S. Marine Infantryman who struggles to be out in public and work a job that involves interacting with other people due to injuries during my service, it is encouraging to know I can attempt to work from home, trading. My training has instilled in me a desire and responsibility to be as independent as possible and be a productive and contributing member of a free capitalistic society. Due to my injuries I foresaw a future of dependence on a group of fellow Americans who were happy to compensate me based on my service, but my former training and instinct drives me to continue to grow and be productive in spite of my very limited contact with other people and many hours and days spent alone in my home managing symptoms that can frankly be very confusing and limiting. Your app allows me to quickly view the market, my watchlists, my account and enter and exit trades if I’m away from my computer, and if I were to encounter a power or internet outage TDAmeritrade on a charged mobile device becomes an invaluable tool. The ability to use TDAmeritrade alongside TD Ameritrade’s Think or Swim trading platform adds to that reality of independence and empowerment that is so very valuable and necessary for me to continue to give back as best as I still am able. Thank you for this opportunity; doing what you do and offering your service that includes TDAmeritrade makes a difference in my life these days.

Not to bad

2023-08-09

Ive been with Ameritrade for over a year now . I have been thru a lot including the covid volatility where wait times were Hours and hours but thankfully things got back to normal fast. I have lost a lot of money due to my impulsivity which has always been and issue. I missed out on a lot of money trading that way. But now I only collect stocks and don’t trade them. It’s my new approach and even though this Not the best time to be in the market, I can only hold and hope for the best . Ameritrade customer service is great and there is no way I would continue to be a client without the men and women who answer my questions. Please do not change that aspect of the brokerage as it is totally necessary to help people with real issues that require real people... not bots and links to help topics. So I love Ameritrade for the customer service as well as the fudiciary like handling of special issues that can possibly harm my portfolio. (Selling otc /bb security’s that I was not aware were listed. Thanks Ameritrade I won’t go anywhere else say this point and appreciate your handling of clients. . -mike Mazur

New Trader

2023-09-10

TD Ameritrade has made (what I thought was an opportunity open only to certain individuals) but a long sought after profit potential that my Parents kept telling me to avoid. When the COVID-19 Pandemic struck however and my newly acquired certification for passing EMT course, I only had to sit for my NREMT cognitive exam but testing centers around the state shut down. My current job as a Physical Therapy Technician is only PRN (meaning whenever I am needed) On avg. it’s fair to say that until the summer months when children do stupid things becoming injured, the majority of Physical Therapy Clientele are <65 years of age. (They were frightened & wouldn’t leave their Homes) No one knew the transmission rate of this “invisible assassin!” When COVID was at its height, the PT Company I’m employed for was losing more than $5,000,000/wk in avg. sales...so I wasn’t getting called for hours (being PRN)... I had to supplement, so I sat down with my Father and asked Him for a final time; “Can You please assist me in setting up an online trading account?—now I’m addicted to it! Just two weeks ago, when I heard of the AAPL 4:1 Split, I invested in 25 shares. To know on the 31st that will turn into 100 AAPL Shares (at a lower value) but I’m confident will rebound to me is AMAZING!

Electronic Delivery

2023-10-12

They promote paperless, electronic records. What they don’t mention is that they only provide access to the last 10 years. They say they are only required to provide the last 7 and suggest they are going above and beyond the requirements. Problem is there are times we need information older than 10 years to figure basis for determining long term capital gains. There are also issues with splits, mergers and name changes. I had a Scottrade account which migrated to TDAmeritade. I made inquiries about 4 stocks in my account prior to that change. I was told they had such records and would research them. In a few days I was told they didn’t have any information on any of the stocks. They said maybe they had been deposited into the account: they had not. I subsequently found documentation they had been purchased in the Scottrade account and had not undergone any event such as a name change and the number of shares was the same. Makes me think nothing was done on my behalf and after a prudent delay I was told there was nothing. I am very disappointed and don’t have faith in their electronic records or their research into prior records even though they have relevance for accurate reporting to the IRS. Jerry Stanke

The App is SOO accessible (easy)!!! Great Customer Service

2023-11-12

I’ve been using TDA to invest my Roth IRA for a little over a year now. I was referred by my mentor who is a multimillionaire (who wouldn’t take financial advice from someone wealthy?). I started out investing $1000, with the promise of a $70 investment per paycheck ($140/month). As a part time employee, single parent, and student I was worried about releasing (investing) that much money. All I could think about was the fiscal deficit I’d feel if it were lost. But I also cling hopelessly to the [possibility] of gain. I reached out to my agent at TDA several times a week to see if my investment had paid off or plummeted. Naturally nothing happened for months. The minute my investment grew (even a little) my agent called me and celebrated with me. He knew how stressed I was and how important it was to me to know. When my investment dropped (even a little), he called and informed me and explained to me what that meant and why the market might be changing. In short, he kept me in the loop and monitored my investments as if they were his own. I paid nothing for his services. In 2019 alone, I have doubled my earnings (currently at $3K+). I’m really looking forward to what I can do in 2020. My investment why is so my child has a future (if I don’t win the lottery or become wealthy beforehand ;))

Fast, Easy to use, Powerful mobile app

2023-12-14

I’ve been using TDAmeritrade for 10 years. It has improved every year. Clean interface, effective, customizable—add column headings for many different categories, such as int. rate, exp. date, div date, delta, theta, gamma, etc. If you are an options trader, check out TOS Mobile, but keep TDAmeritrade on your phone, because it works better over slow mobile connections. Trades are executed quickly, and with zero commissions, how can you beat it? News feed and education sections are nice, and you can quickly drill down to see the fundamentals of your potential holdings. Calendar section allows you to see the important events coming up (earnings, ex-div dates, payroll announcements, etc) add them to your calendar. All in all, very satisfied with TDAmeritrade. Only thing I would make better is make the news feed update more quickly. A couple weeks ago, the market was dropping fast, and I couldn’t figure out why...turns out it was a Presidential tweet. Maybe I need to get Twitter. Oh, and tech support is awesome. I had to contact them when an update made the columns too small, and they fixed it within a couple of days. Customer support is available via chat, email or phone right from TDAmeritrade , and it is equally fast and awesome. Get TDAmeritrade , you will love it!

TD Ameritrade was good for this beginner

2024-01-14

When the market started to dip after the pandemic began, I began to research how to get into stock trading. I knew next to nothing. With a recommendation from my father-in-law, who had used Scotttrade previously, I downloaded TDAmeritrade . He said that after Scotttrade changed to TD Ameritrade, the new app and features were better and easier to use. He recommended that it was good for a beginner like me. He was absolutely right. I really enjoyed the educational videos which I viewed prior to moving any funds into my account. I signed up and registered to trade in the Scwab app, BUT TD Ameritrade’s app was much more user-friendly for someone with my lack of experience and understanding. I highly recommend TD Ameritrade’s main app, but I am not as fond of their companion app, thinkorswim. Nevertheless, TD Ameritrade’s app was my right choice in learning to buy and sell shares. After I deposited funds, I was nervous for a few days how things worked and if it were all a scam. But I purchased my first 100 shares pain-free, and I felt really comfortable with the process. In a few weeks, I sold and purchased more stock, and now I feel quite competent. TDAmeritrade and company gets a high recommendation from me.

Mid-March 2019 update ruined it

2024-11-14

Completely ransacked a user friendly interface and replaced it with an almost “excel spreadsheet” like format. The former “condensed” view has been removed. Formerly I could see 5 columns of the important info needed for trading decision (ticker, bid/ask, last, change—change column could be tapped to show volume and % change and was color coded) and 11 rows of stocks before having to swiping. Now there is 8 rows of stock per screen and 4 columns with tons of white space. The condensed view made it easy to follow an extended watchlist and make quick trading decisions. I am befuddled as to who they consulted for this “update”. I have traded millions through TDAmeritrade and now it will become more difficult or frustrating. Where are they getting these ideas??? Also, to change your watch list it use to reflect a list, now they have this stupid “drum” like scroll view—really? I WILL be looking at the other trading platforms out there, hopefully someone can give me the important data in a concise format and not this garbage from likely thrown together from someone who has never really used TDAmeritrade or doesn’t understand how the old view was useful to actually trading stock.

Two steps backwards

2024-11-14

This most recent update has taken what was once a clean layout with a clear and concise display of balances and positions and unnecessarily jumbled it into its current look. Previously I could glance at my account balance tab and see almost all if not all the information without scrolling up or down. Now, in order to see the same information I have to scroll up and down 3 whole windows worth to see what was previously visible at a glance. This is an investment app where number need to be clear and concise, there is no reason each row of information needs to be so tall as to exclude other rows from the same window. On the same issue there is no need for the tabs and headers at the top of each page to be as blocky and obstructive as they are, nor for the dashboard to be cluttered with unnecessary banners and news releases, these again take away from the ease of use of quickly and accurately discerning data. I hope TD will take note and fix these issues, these are they types of poorly thought out updates I expect from a rushed social media app release, not from a company that I trust with the majority of my investment.

Very annoying.

2024-11-14

Executing trades is a pain - you'd think you could just click on your ticker in the "positions" window and be presented "buy" and "sell" options, but no. You have to go to a separate window where you have to manually look up your stock and manually input your share price/quantity. The customizability is fine, but it'd be very easy to program a few buttons like an "all available shares" next to quantity for a sell or something. Also, I can't sell percentages of a share, idk if that's normal, but it's worth mentioning. It's deceiving, too, because of the decimal in the numpad for your quantity entry. To make matters worse, despite my usage of a password app (I know I'm inputting it correctly), I frequently encounter annoying authentication errors and end up having to reset my password. I contacted support regarding this once and they did not address the issue at the source - I was given a band-aid solution. Overall, everything is placed in a counter-intuitive way, poor/lazy programming decisions were made when they deigned to put forth the effort in the first place, and it's just frustrating to use. I'm happy for those it works for, and I'd be open to tips improving my knowledge of how TDAmeritrade works if that's the issue, but TDAmeritrade is undoubtedly not user friendly.

Security Flaw & usability problem

2024-11-14

TDAmeritrade sometimes (not always) does NOT automatically log you out after even many hours of non-activity. This poses a major security risk, if you forget to log out, which can easily happen when you're interrupted by a phone call, a text message, an email, an internet search, or a friend, family member, or colleague demanding your attention. Were you to then lend your device to someone, or misplace or lose it, anyone could access the info in, trade on, or transfer money out of, your account.
Please fix this major security risk! Please provide an option to automatically log out after, say, 3, 5, 10, or 15 minutes of inactivity.
Thanks!
Second, the daily change in value of account balance and positions resets to zero way too early. Some of us like to check how our account balance and/or positions did really late (often in early morning before the market opens), but TDAmeritrade resets many of the daily balance or positions changes to zero way before the next day's market opens. That makes the daily change info we see utterly useless! Please revise app so that it does not reset this daily change data until the market reopens! Thanks!

Review

2024-11-14

I like TD Ameritrade itself but have some issues with their website and mobile app. On the mobile app I can’t seem to find dividend income to date or for the year. Also, seems crazy that I have 3 accounts (brokerage, IRA, Roth) and I had to go to each account and connect them. If I was on one account and connected the other two and then went to one of the other accounts, I had to reconnect. When I sell, I don’t see a button to “sell all”. If I have partial shares.....? I would also like something set up like Acorns, where I could have round ups dropped into my account. Now, some of these things may exist but it isn’t easy to navigate. I will say that customer service was pretty good when I was setting up accounts and doing a backdoor Roth conversion. I also like the fact that I can have multiple watchlists. Haven’t found that on Schwab. Schwab let’s you have so many and that’s it....as far as I can tell.

Confusing site for newbies AMAZING CUST. SERVICE!!!

2024-11-14

I am new to the site and trading so I’m only speaking in regards to my experience so far.. I have to say TDAmeritrade /layout is Difficult to use & confusing with no tutorials/useful help available for someone new to trading. Now on the other hand Ameritrade’s technical support is amazing.....! The willingness to help and assistance that you get when you call is outstanding,first class..! The representatives that I have spoken with were patient, very knowledgeable, and just awesome... ! The reason I gave a 3 star rating is because I feel that Ameritrade should make it easier and definitely faster to add funds to your account, I mean with the technology we have today I can sen $$ in a text message from my phone in seconds... I feel it is a bit ridiculous the time it takes and the limited options there are to add funds to your Ameritrade account.... I mean really..! Another thing, I think the IT department should add a beginner tutorial option for how to use TDAmeritrade /site...

Sometimes has delayed data

2024-11-14

I often find near market opening or closing the chart data is inconsistent with actual prices/volume. Volume chart often does not update until late at night after market close or sometimes not until the next day. I try to completely close TDAmeritrade and reopen but the issue persists. Also sometimes the chart candles/lines become duplicated if you keep TDAmeritrade open and lock your device. When you reopen it, the candles will sometimes double or triple. The biggest problem for me is the inconsistency of closing/opening price displayed. Up until this morning TDAmeritrade was showing a closing price that was higher than the actual closing price. The chart randomly updated this morning to show the correct data. Not sure why the inconsistency in chart data but this has to be corrected.

I would like to clarify this is usually only after or before normal trading hours. In most cases it corrects itself when the market opens or is about to. Sometimes it will correct itself the night prior. It is quite random. I no longer trust the visual information/charts if it is outside of normal trading hours.

Works Most Time, Some Bugs

2024-11-14

I’ve been using the TD Ameritrade app daily for day/swing trading stocks for over a month now. I also use the “thinkorswim” app but that’s a separate review. While TDAmeritrade works well most of the time I have noticed some bugs and/or glitches. For example; not all changes I make to Watch Lists will always take, it sometimes take repeated effort to make right. I have also had TDAmeritrade suddenly close on me, I’m estimating a handful of times over the past month and this is with daily use. While none of this has happened during crucial moments (primarily use thinkorswim to execute trades) it has happened and it’s annoying. I plan on continuing to use for now, but I am trying out other platforms to decide what works best for me. I do like the alerts, never missed a trade as I set it up. Overall not great, not horrible, functions well enough to get the job done.

Best phone stock app I know about

2024-11-14

I’ve been using the Ameritrade app for years. It’s easier to use than the late scottrade app was, and better than the robinhood app too. Robinhood has free trades forever, but the quality of TDAmeritrade is trash. I use Ameritrade to do research and buy bigger blocks of stock since it’s not worth paying the $7 commissions to trade a few shares, and robinhood to buy just a few shares but robinhood is useless for day trading where Ameritrade is good about giving you margin and funds fast. I heard Ameritrade is the best for trading options too.
One thing I hate about TDAmeritrade is when you’re reading news about a company it shows the link to the original article but you can’t click the link or even copy paste it. That’s annoying, and has been like that since I started using it in 2014.

USER FRIENDLY, INFORMATION IN ONE PLACE!!!

2024-11-14

I have Accounts and Trade with a ton of different Brokerage Houses on the Street including Mutual Funds, such as Vanguard, Fidelity, Gabelli, etc!
I have a large portfolio, and do not want any one firm to really know my true net worth, this is my reason for trading with so many different accounts!
Anyway, Ameritrade has one of the most User Friendly websites to navigate, of any, I think, for an IPhone!
Also, I believe their prices are very competitive!
I know their Reps DO NO BOTHER The Customers, unless You call them!
Some Companies want to hound you with USELESS BS and then CHARGE YOU for their nonsense!!!
LOL!!!
EXAMPLE how easy the site is:
I can park my car, tell someone, “give me a minute”, check the price of two different stocks, sell one stock, have the money put in my Brokerage Account, ASAP, and buy another Stock, using those funds, I just received 30 seconds earlier, from my sell, and go meet my wife or friends, and NO ONE even knows I may have just made a Million Dollar Transaction!
By the way, I usually keep very little cash in my Brokerage Account, so I have to use the cash, from the sell, to make the purchase!
I don’t really use a desktop, so I can’t compare the Apps or rate them, as some of them are very different from phone to Computer!
DEFINITELY FIVE STARS or if we had TEN STARS, that is what I would rate it!!!
TOP OF THE LINE!!!!!!!!

I have been with TD Ameritrade for a very long time. There are many NTF NL Funds plus a universe of investments, educational courses, strategies, and the ability to set up your own criteria platforms to know when to buy or sell are some of the numerous tools available to you. Newsletters are great and other online free subscriptions are available to your investment ideas. All help and subscriptions are free for an account owner. Client Services is super helpful and quick in their response time.
In all the years I have been a client, TD Ameritrade never made a mistake.
Since merging with Schwab, I hope the universe of NTF NL funds increases, including Schwab funds, in their choices of funds. Hopefully this merger will bring trading fees lower, lower expense ratios for certain funds, bringing our expenses lower as clients of now, a large brokerage company. I hope many of the Schwab policies get added on.

This app is straight cash homie.

TDAmeritrade is worth a download. The interface is user friendly and TDAmeritrade is predictable and reliable. I would use TDAmeritrade for getting quotes, referencing simple moving averages, convergence/divergence moving averages, etc.

If you want a more in depth experience, try the thinkorswim app. ToS gives users access to a truly massive library of technical indicators, market strength indicators, even some licensed studies.

And, if you like the thinkorswim app and you haven’t downloaded it for your computer, or if you’ve given up on learning it, don’t. It’s worth it. Have you ever thought of a trading strategy while laying in bed, half asleep? If you can remember it in the morning, you can wake up and build it in ToS and backtest it. It’s invaluable. Next to paying $20k/yr for the gold standard, this is it.
