Please improve your options section. It’s difficult to use. Moomoo has a great options section for comparison
I use them because they can be paired with tradingview but the interface is terrible. I would never trade with it on the actual quest trade app

They want us to pay to use indicators. It was over priced for buying and selling stock and stock options. Now they are following industry trends by lowering their commissions.

Amazing to have commission free trading. Such wonderful Questrade Edge plate form to fast execution and easy to navigate.
Hi there, thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us! We're thrilled to hear that you're enjoying using our platform.
Simple to connect but Questrade does not support the one click buy option which for me is crucial. I don't want to have to enter the price and click the confirmation button it needs to be fast to get in and out.

Hi there, thanks for taking the time to leave us a review!
I have been with Questrade for years, They have only gotten better. I realize that there are other brokers with more bells and whistles but now that they have a very competitive fee structure I have no complaints. I also appreciate having my $ with a Canadian company. Thanks Questrade!

Just a little FYI. If I have Questrade Edge open I can edit the stop by entering the new price on the chart. It would be preferable to be able to move the stop on TradingView but this works for now .

Adding extra features and tools as time goes is a plus, a company that's not just settling on what they have. Had an onboarding struggle with them, but all good afterwards.

Frequently Asked Questions
Brokers provide access to financial markets and execute trades. They act as intermediaries between traders and exchanges, providing the necessary infrastructure and tools to place buy and sell orders. They offer services such as order execution, market access, research, analysis, and customer support. Additionally, brokers facilitate the use of leverage, margin trading, and help ensure regulatory compliance, providing traders with a secure environment to trade effectively. Without brokers, individual traders would struggle to access markets and execute trades efficiently.
An order is an instruction for a broker to execute a trade - buy or sell an asset on behalf of a trader. Depending on your strategy, risk tolerance, and market condition, different kinds of orders can be more or less effective, let's see the basic ones.
- Market order. It's a basic type designed to buy or sell an asset immediately at the next price available
- Limit order. Specifies the maximum (for buying) or minimum (for selling) price at which a trader is willing to execute a trade. It's only executed if the price reaches the preset level. There are buy and sell limit orders - they're set to buy/sell an asset at or below/above a certain price
- Stop order. Triggered when an asset moves above or below a certain price level, always executed in the direction that the price is moving. There are stop-loss orders (automatically closes a position at a certain level if the market moves against you) and (initiates a trade when the price breaks a certain level)

A broker's rating on TradingView is based on its clients' reviews. We ensure broker ratings reflect real user experiences by allowing reviews only from verified TradingView users with active linked accounts. Recent ratings carry more weight, providing up-to-date insights for informed decisions. This approach promotes transparency and prevents manipulation. Make sure to rate your broker to help it improve its service and assits other users in their choice.
Leverage is a mechanism that allows traders to open larger positions with a smaller amount of capital. It basically means borrowing funds from a broker, often multiplying your position size by 5x, 10x, or more. For example, with 5x leverage, a $100 deposit could open a $500 trade with your broker lending you $400 you don't have. It's a popular technique, but remember that while leverage increases potential profits, it also magnifies losses, which is why it's essential to learn how to manage risks.
It's always worth preparing for trades before actually executing them. On TradingView, you can do this with our Paper Trading functionality.

Margin trading means an investor buying an asset by borrowing the balance from a broker. It allows traders to increase their buying power, enabling larger positions with less upfront capital. While it can provide greater market exposure with less capital and amplify potential gains, it also comes with increased risks:
- Increased risk of losses, including exceeding initial investment
- Interest costs on borrowed funds
- Potential for margin calls requiring additional deposits
Make sure to analyze an asset thoroughly and test your strategy on a Paper Trading account to ensure you're ready to navigate these risks.

Commissions in trading are fees that brokers charge for executing trades on behalf of traders. These costs help brokers maintain their platforms, provide essential services, and ensure smooth access to financial markets.
Understanding commission structures is essential for traders, as fees can impact overall profitability. Choosing a broker with competitive rates and transparent pricing ensures cost-effective trading.
