Horrible! Opened a Schwab account to see where my TDA account will be forced over to in order to get a feel for the Schwab platform and I found Schwab to be stuck in the 1970's!
1. No realtime quotes, you have to click refresh to get a current quote on the Schwab standard platform.
2. Schwab is unusable for OTC penny stock trades because there is a 999,999 share trade limitation...they told me I can always call to place a trade but it will be at the broker's discretion if the $25 phone trade fee will apply or not!
3. Schwab is so far behind the times, There is no way to do a search for high volume tickers...they don't have a search to find high volume tickers!
4. The charting on the Schwab standard platform will not allow me to place a 100 period Moving Average on the charts
5. You can't place an OCO order for 2 different tickers, Schwab doesn't allow this type of order.

Conclusion: Charles Schwab is an outdated Grandfather's investor platform, lots and lots of negative reviews cuz they don't care about their customers at all and are forcing TDA accounts over to Schwab and they will be scraping the TDA platform like the Evil machines in the movie Avatar...they advertise they will be sure to provide the tools needed to secure your financial future but it's all BS! They have a useless platform for real traders and don't seem to care...now they are banning me from trading my TDA account with no warning, I found this out when I placed a trade that was rejected, they said it was "A business decision" and they want me to just go away! Guess I have to transfer all positions to my Etrade account! No wonder Schwab stock is tanking, now 54 down from 96 and heading to 32 or bankruptcy!
They get 1 star cuz I can't post a no star rating, BYE BYE CHUCK!
