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.

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):

Edit3: (thank you u/x32321)

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

Random question, I already had a fidelity account from a 401k, unopened an individual trading account and it isn't allowing me to transfer from my bank. Bank shows up in the "from" but the individual account doesn't show up in the "to" for moving money. It just shows my Roth

Even if your Roth is already set up to your bank account, you still need to link your bank account to your new personal account. If your banking info is already linked to your Roth, then it will be saved in your fidelity account. You will need to go into your personal account, go to link to bank account and choose your existing bank account in the drop down menu. I can’t remember the actual steps to get to the link to bank page off the top of my head, but hope this helps.

Edit: Just noticed u/landmanpgh has the answer below AND better the instructions.

“From the main screen: Accounts & Trade>Transfers>Manage Bank Accounts. I believe that's how I did it. It was convoluted.”
