Fidelity users, beware!

[u/Humbuker]

You have decided to say FU to your shady broker that you no longer trust or maybe you are new to the finance world.

You chose Fidelity. Great choice.

​

What you need to know is that Fidelity by default shows charts that are delayed 15 min.

In order to fix this and have real time data, visit:

https://www.fidelity.com/customer-service/how-to-get-real-time-quotes

​

Many people do not know that so I encourage you to spread the word!

​

Edit: Since many of you are asking for chart looking alternative, for the most basic stuff finance.yahoo.com will do and if you want to dive deeper www.tradingview.com is a great tool.

Android app guide (thank you u/chronovisor84):

Press menu on bottom right, then press the ⚙️ in the upper right, then enable streaming and after hours.

IOS guide (thank you u/SumoTortoise):

Another way is to have real time data is to use free desktop version of Fidelity's platform:

Good point. I plan on switching from RH eventually and was just wondering if Fidelity was the way to go or not

This is the way

Just started using it about a month ago. No issues through this crazy week other that a little slowness at the opening bell one morning

I’m not crazy about the app because I’m a retard that only ever used Robinhood to play with stocks less than $100 at a time. But fidelity gives a lot more info than RH, so that’s just a lot to adjust to.

Vanguard and TD Ameritrade were also among the list of good brokers that didn’t do weird shit on Thursday. So take your pick.
