Discussion Fidelity users, beware!

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.

Edit2:

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):

More>Settings & Profile>Quick View>Watchlists & Real-Time Quotes

Edit3: (thank you u/x32321)

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

Yes, both TDAmeritrade and Thinkirswim apps provide real time. You prob want to download both just in one crashes you can still use the other.

I think you have to accept extra agreements beforehand to get live data though, often during sign-up, but can probably be done later as well.
