This time, Thursday fintech post was postponed to Friday   🖥️ A new era of desktop trading platforms? This week, Robinhood introduced  Robinhood Legend, a new powerful, sleek, browser-based desktop trading platform built specifically for active traders that is fully customisable and available at no additional cost to anyone with a Robinhood account. It also provides advanced trading tools, real-time data, customisation and incentivising perks like 1% on brokerage account transfers, 2% on account transfers with at least $10k in margin balance, and 3% on IRA transfers for Robinhood Gold subscribers. My overall opinion is a bit mixed, but I love that Robinhood advances its product in such a way.   I’ll start with design. Robinhood platform looks much more user-friendly and has IMHO much better UX/UI. For instance, I’m closely familiar with the Lightspeed Trading Platform, which is a great tool with a wide range of features. But it’s complex. It has 6579395232 settings and features. Even Fidelity looks a bit odd, these platforms’ designs are some 2010 inventions, not a modern experience.   Incentives look cool. Some chunk of Robinhood users are now a bit more adult in terms of investment management, and they want a platform experience that fits their needs, which now goes beyond “OMG, I have too long GME, AMC, and TSLA”. People grow and their investment preferences grow along them.   The fact that they highlight customisation is a bit strange. If we compare the level of customisation on Robinhood (from the info we have now) and Lightspeed, the first loses everywhere, starting from the depth of Level 2 data (order book and order tape) and finishing on #ECN routing, hotkeys, etc. Robinhood users would not have access to the same customisation level available on bigger platforms, but frankly, they don’t really need this complexity.   Once more, I’m happy for Robinhood, and I hope this platform sticks. Upselling is always cool at this stage. Now, smooth onboarding and proper #ACATS are important things to deliver. No meme today, sorry #Fintech #Trading #Investing #InvestmentPlatform
