I’m looking to get into day trading stocks (not options) and I’m trying to decide between two setups:
* TD Direct Investing + Advanced Dashboard
* Questrade + TradingView
From what I understand, even when using Advanced Dashboard, I’d still be paying TD’s $9.99 per trade, which seems like it could get expensive pretty quickly for day trading. On the other hand, TradingView paired with Questrade looks a lot more appealing from a charting and workflow perspective, and it also seems better suited if you’re trading U.S. markets more actively.
I'd get one free year of Advanced Dashboard and then \~$30/mo after that, which is a consideration.
I’m curious if anyone here has used both TradingView and TD Advanced Dashboard, or has strong experience with either. How do they compare in real-world use for day trading? Any regrets going one way or the other?
Would love to hear what’s worked best for you and why.
