Robinhood made news after it restricted trades of stocks like GameStop and AMC after their stock price was driven by retail investors on Reddit betting against Wall Street.

Here are some alternative trading platforms to consider:

TD Ameritrade

My first recommendation is TD Ameritrade, as both new and experienced investors can get the most out of it. There are no fees or account minimums, yet you have many investment features such as stocks, bonds, options, margins, and more. TD Ameritrade not only offers extensive research analytical tools but also has an entire education platform for newbie investors, helping you achieve your dreams.

eToro

For a second alternative, eToro is one of the better trading platforms to consider. Firstly, the broker is exceptional if you are just starting out in the world of online trading. This is because the platform is really simple to use and it supports small stakes. For example, the minimum deposit is just $200 and you trade from $25 upwards. It offers over 2400 different stocks, 250+ ETFs and supports 17 cryptocurrencies.

It also offers passive investing tools, as you can copy others' growing portfolios and benefit from a professionally managed investment strategy. This means that the team at eToro will buy and sell assets for you, without you lifting a finger.



Hopefully, both of these Robinhood alternatives were helpful in your decision-making process. Remember to pick the one that offers the features you need, including the types of investments you want to have in your portfolio.
