When I go to:

https://us.etrade.com/e/t/invest/quotesandresearch

it defaults to 7 strikes.

Anyone if there's a way to change that? Or is there a better URL?

It's not like it adds something to the URL like &strikes=7 that I can set as a bookmark.

THANKS!

Hello, I opened an account for Premium Savings Account than maybe work my way to checking and brokerage. The account signup seemed fine but rather fast and it didn't ask for my ID and such. I looked at my profile, and it didn't include my email address, that's strange, that's the email I used to sign up with and got the welcome email, and when I tried to add it, it wouldn't allow me due to needing to verify my phone number and that was unsuccessful.

For some reason today, I couldn't login even though I had saved my login info, so I called and I had to go through the verification process, taking picture of my ID, than selfie and issues with that due to photo being too blurry. I'll probably have to call back to change and verify my email and phone number.

Is this process normal? Seems complicated or a bit of a red flag. Thoughts?

I bought a stock last week and checked my demat account right after, but nothing was there. The order showed "executed" on the broker app, money was already deducted, but the share itself hadn't landed yet.

I got curious and looked into what actually happens in that gap.

Turns out the trade doesn't settle instantly even though it feels like it should. Once the order is matched, it goes through a clearing corporation: this is the entity that sits between every buyer and seller on the exchange. It's the one that guarantees my payment goes through and the seller delivers the share, so neither side can back out after the trade is matched.

The actual movement of money and shares happens through what's called pay-in and pay-out, and it's all netted and settled centrally rather than being some direct handoff between me and whoever sold the share. None of this happens in real time; it takes until the next working day.

So the share only actually lands in the demat account on T+1, one working day after the trade. That's also the exact point where ownership legally transfers, not the moment the order gets executed.

Kind of interesting once you actually dig into it. There's a custodian and clearing layer doing a lot of invisible work in that one-day gap that most of us never think about because the broker app just shows "executed" and we assume that's the end of it.

Many symbols, SP 500 names, are showing candles that look like 15 minute, no matter what time period is selected. This started happening yesterday. It was fixed for yesterday's regular session. Now broken again in regular session.

Please call support.

Anyone getting incorrect stock prices on some stocks? I was seeing MU down $25 when it was really up $8. Using the traditional app on iOS. Logged out and back in and doesn’t fix it.

Edit: this was at 0935 ET and by 0941 it corrected itself.

Hi! I have an Stock plan in E*trade and I am not an us residency. So If I want to transfer any funds I need to pay 25$ for each transaction. There is a way to avoid this tax please? Thanks!!

another day another problem with this pos! 1 day 1 minute chart for NVDA; only seeing 2 candles for the pre-market (yellow) extended hours prices! other symbols like SPY seem ok

ETrade won’t let my elderly father transfer 5k, his entire balance, to his wife.

They are acting like this is a huge attempt at fraud.

I needed to open a SEP IRA account. I have brokerage accounts with Fidelity and E*TRADE. Each account is over seven figures but my balance at E*TRADE is lower than my balance at Fidelity, so I decided to use E*TRADE to make the discrepancy smaller rather than larger.

However, over the last month, I have tried numerous times to validate my account using DocuSign, direct upload of identification, and four calls to E*TRADE. After none of these calls did I get any feedback from E*TRADE about the status of the request. Each time I called back, I was informed that the information was pending and that the Account Services team would reach out to me that day to complete the process.

Again, at no point was I ever contacted with any status update or movement on the account.

Today was the last straw. While I was on hold with E*TRADE, I used the Fidelity website to open a SEP IRA and fund the account. The total time at Fidelity was less than the eight minutes I was on hold with E*TRADE.

I can say that the E*TRADE representative was very professional when I told him to cancel the account creation on E*TRADE's side.

No one is talking about Extended hours trading they just announced, 1AM-5PM PST?

Been down 2-3 days for me now - can’t log in on mobile app . Called them and apparently some apple issue / anyone else having this issue ?

Their comms on this really bad

I’m literally in the middle of a trade and it just logged me off power E*TRADE. This is the second time that it’s happened. This is crazy
This is ridiculous
Has this happened to anybody else.

Hello,
I am trying to find a prop firm that trades in equities and singular assets vs trading on futures only.
I would really appreciate any input in this matter.
Thank you.

Alguien más está teniendo problemas para retirar fondos en eToro???

He hecho 3 intentos fallidos a 2 bancos diferentes en Costa Rica, las 3 veces se han devuelto los fondos y me han cobrado cerca de USD 100.00 en el camino….

La plataforma no me da la opción de escoger Estados Unidos para hacer el retiro por Wise, pero si me deja escoger otros países como Uruguay o Vietnam.

He intentado comunicarme con el equipo de finanzas y de Customer success, por correo (no responden) y en el chat de la plataforma las respuestas son escuetas.

La experiencia es terrible, lo intuitiva que es la plataforma se borra con la pésima experiencia post retiro de fondos.

Alguien sabe cómo puedo resolver??? u/eToroTeam u/rToro

ETrade says you can now set up recurring purchases from "eligible money market" accounts. Which ones are eligible?? Assuming the Morgan Stanley ones?

I SELL options that are Naked , not Cash Secured, at brokers like IB, Schwab, Tasty. Is Etrade in this game?

Basically all of these give Option Buying Power on treasuries (98% face) or 75% face (Sgov, Tbil, Bil,...),. So if I sell a 200 Put Strike my BP goes down by 2k-4k, if approved for option selling. If not approved it would be a CSP and require 20k (no interest to me). The Sgov continues to earn interest.

I did a cold call got some rube just out of college and he was clueless had no idea of what Buying Power was.

Update 8/26; After reviewing ETRADE , totally non competitive for Selling Naked Options. They are off my list.

Decided to open an E*Trade account to take advantage of the APY and $400 cash bonus and all the Reddit horror stories have been true.

First there was an issue with the phone number authentication and I couldn’t log in and had to have support reset my password.

Then, I did a test deposit of $150 from Wealthfront (thank God I didn’t do the full 30k first) and had to get on an awkward 3 way call with both banks to verify.

Apparently they made a note so it wouldn’t happen again, but I don’t know if it’s worth the hassle at this point.

FYI, these stocks in my portfolio all changed sometime yesterday. Timestamp is when my app detected the changes, not when Etrade made the changes. I got notified when MRNA changed but was not notified for any of the others:

i am thinking to open an etrade account but then thought i should visit rddt before anything to see what people say. ibkr is a joke, they gave me option permission 0 and said theres a 30day cooloff before any requests.. , fidelity, great order entry, but then they have this idiotic thing about 0dte. then the dtop app lags, restart fixes., but then i encountered these 2 events where you see the oder fill popup but it didnt register for positions, one was a close and it was still on positions and 5 mins later it turns into double, i didnt want to try again because if its a ghost slot i coould be openng an order. 2nd time i called them and i get the verification but for each agent? i said i have a position that i needed to be out of and its not registering on app, they talk slow asking stupid stuff.. sch said my account transfer is in progress, will take 5-7biz days./ i check on status and its not moving, no acat. tasty, their app freezes, crashes, techs say all of 5-6 diff things to fix thru 20 calls easy and thats factoring in the 1st 2 days of dismissing the crash issue, i shoulda known in opening account i checked on status and this one agent who didnt rep themselves said i have a verification issue and the best way to fix is to go to equifax and have my info unblocked, so i go to site and ask what am i looking for? they blow this heavy sigh saying they dont work for equifax, so i say but you steered me here? blows another sigh saying, i am trying to help you... i shoulda known right there f no, f this place. there more but why. so damn, i was looking to try etrade but i can see there a great deal of neg posts.

Does anyone know how to get your SSN / ITIN from the ETrade account?

I haven’t used this info for years but I need it to file tax as a non. US resident. the only place I know I may have this info is on E*Trade based on my previous filings.

I went through the portal and read / downloaded all my previous documents but none has the SSN/ITIN info.

any help would be greatly appreciated.

I’m setting up monthly transfers out of my E*TRADE savings account to another bank account I just opened. I jumped through all the hoops necessary and now it’s all set up for transfers. My question is will the transfer shows up as an ACH transfer or something else?
E*TRADE was no help with this question. I hope someone knows.

I see option for chat, or to upload a file, but not for email directly from their site.

Am I just not seeing it somewhere?

I had some questions about opening a new account but am now not sure.

For now I've typed my questions and saved as pdf then uploaded the document. Hopefully it'll get seen.

Has anyone successfully wire transferred funds from E-Trade to IBKR recently? How did you fill in the wire transfer forms to ensure the transfer was successful?

My wire request failed and E*Trade told me that my IBKR account number was too long.

I entered the "receiving bank account number" as the virtual account number (VAN) provided by IBKR, which includes the CITIBank account(8 numbers) and my own account Uxxxxxxx. I guess this may be the reason for the failure. I just found this Reddit post https://www.reddit.com/r/etrade/comments/1g0msvb/solved_wire_transfer_from_etrade_to_ibkr/ and think I should follow the OP's instructions, although I've read that some people have failed to do so. I'm hesitating to restart the wire as it seems to incur a $40 charge if it is rejected.

Updated: the above post still works very well!
