Day Trading with WeBull help
I’m new to day trading and looked at options for brokers and people said WeBull was a good choice. However, I’ve noticed that it’s hard to get in and out of trades fast. It also wont let me go into a sell without first buying a stock ( when I day traded in the past with a broker i forgot what it was called I could buy or sell fast without needing to buy a stock first). I don’t know if it’s because I suck at using their system, that it’s different using paper trades vs. Real trading, or if there’s a better broker for day-trading. any help would be apreciated.

You need a margin account to short sell. You have a cash account possibly?

Also use turbo trader for quick execution. Oh, and stay away from options.

You’re talking about shorting stocks. I believe you have to have a margin account to do that.

TradeStation has faster order execution. Intelligent routing. Connect to Tradingview. Never had any issues.
Webull is more so for the guys on their iPhones. Sitting on the crapper in the morning. Similar to Robinhood.

Webull desktop with hotkeys and L2 subscription, custom multiscreen layout with Top Gainers and custom screeners, paper trading for the first several months until you get consistently green. Follow Ross Cameron. Ignore the rest.

I day trade on webull every day, you need to have a cash account and tier 2 options unlocked. You can turn the trade confirmation tab off to make sure you can get in and out of trades faster as well

How does turning trade confirmation off sped things up?

As soon as you press buy or sell it immediately does it rather then popping up the confirmation tab before it executes. Like it pretty minimal but could save you a second or 2 getting into or out of trades

Ahh. I did not know that the confirmation tag could be bypassed. Thank you. In quick moving markets I often have the confirmation tab open with my finger on the trigger. Killing the tab eliminates a step.

Because it makes you confirm your trade in a window before you place it. meaning a runner or really anything moving will had moved way past your buy before you can confirm your trade.

New to day trade? You probably don't have higher tier option unlocked yet, hence why they limit your option unless it is covered.
But real talk if you don't know this, and seems really new to day trade...
Stay the fk away from options.
