Overview
Webull is a US-focused trading app that took Robinhood's free-trading formula and added serious charting, screeners and free options trading. It has become a favorite of younger active traders.
Key Features
- $0 commissions on stocks, ETFs and options
- Advanced charts with dozens of indicators
- Paper trading for practicing strategies
- Extended-hours trading included
Fees
Stocks, ETFs and options are all commission-free (regulatory pass-through fees still apply on options). Margin rates are middling, and like most free brokers, Webull earns from payment for order flow — a model worth understanding as a user.
Regulation & Safety
Webull Financial is SEC- and FINRA-regulated with SIPC protection. It's a legitimate regulated broker, though a younger firm without the decades-long track record of Schwab or Fidelity.
