Gareth uses TradingView for viewing charts, but it is not a broker. (click the affiliate link for a discount)

TradeStation, Merrill Edge, Interactive Brokers, and TD Ameritrade are among the big name brokers that we recommend for trading stocks and/or options.

For Crypto trading, you can use any of the bigger names there as well. Contact them to compare costs/fees, etc. Such as Coinbase or Coinbase Pro, Gemini, Binance, Kraken, Kucoin.

Kraken and Kucoin can short crypto, not all crypto platforms allow shorting.

Please contact brokers directly with further questions to find out which one is best for you or how to execute trades, etc. as each platform is slightly different and things can change over time, therefore it is best to contact them directly. Thank you.
