I don't recall hearing Schwab recommended but I am quite satisfied. I use their StreetSmart Edge app. It is exceptionally versatile. My only beef is that there have been a few times when Schwab was unable to get me the stocks I needed to short. When I can make enough money, I plan to use an additional broker as a backup but still using Schwab as my goto app.

Thank you guys for giving me options i really appreciate it

etrade for long, cobra and speedtrader pro short. im no us resident, so i use IB. im happy with it, super stable and fast, but pay some commisions.

I been with TOS and it's been great! For sure get away from Robinhood! I think they are still having some issues. Don't want to wake up and can't sell your stocks!
