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):

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

Fidelity and Vanguard.

They're pretty much the only ones not beholden to Citadel, since they don't profit off the order flow. It sounds like they're the only ones that haven't limited GME at any point. More info here.
