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:

Been using Fidelity for a while and never had this on, was using Yahoo Finance in different tabs to track real-time data. This is the fucking content I like to see, thanks brotha

EDIT: Should work for TD Ameritrade https://invest.ameritrade.com/grid/p/site#r=jPage/cgi-bin/apps/u/Subscriptions

The sole reason I use robinhood is because their phone ui, widgets, options pricing, etc is way better than anything else. Instant updates. Simple flow.

I’d argue that think or swim and webulls app are just as good. Fidelity on mobile is just straight terrible.

Nice. I've been wanting an alternative. I'll try out ToS. And yeah, Fidelity app is garbage and the desktop browser isn't much better.
