EDIT: Fees are tad down, kudos. But now the orderbook is often outdated. I put resting bids at the top and they get executed immediately. K PLEASE FIX! old>>App is fine but fees are another story. A $24 taker fee on a $550 trade is more expensive than options trading. I can make markets all day long but no taker wants to pay those fees. So the markets barely move unless the event is actually happening at the time so it's hard to position in advance unless you are willing to pay high taker fees.

so I lost out on over 7.8k in profit. my bank card kept on getting declined, so what do I do, I go to customer service chat and speak to an agent, they tell me to use multiple different payment methods if one doesn't work, and now because I did that my card has been getting declined non-stop because oh you made too many requests for deposits that got declined, so now I'm getting punished for doing exactly what I'm told, and they aren't doing anything to help me after I told them what happened!!!

it is pissing me off, can't access my account. Every time I try to log in it sends me a code, and then it tells me that something went wrong. Uninstalled and will never try it again. I can't imagine the issues the app has if it can't even let you login without having issues, definitely not going to trust it with my money or information.
