Then, just state your price and if there's a match, the share will be added to your portfolio. It's a fast and easy way to open an account, plus you're able to trade any time and anywhere at your own discretion.

Research reports will be loaded to the app daily, plus you'll receive hot stock picks via SMS, so you'll always stay informed on what to trade
