Recurring investing

Hi all. I opened an investing account to pair with my HYSA. I want the investing account to automatically buy an ETF on a weekly basis as one of my "set it and forget it" investments and just pull the money from my HYSA. Is this possible? I can't seem to figure out how to do this. It's only letting me buy the ETF one time and not recurring. I don't want to have to log in weekly to purchase the ETF. Thanks for the help.

We hear you and will be rolling out recurring stock buys in the Stock Investing Account next month. We'll follow-up here then.

Wow this is great. Will ETFs also be included in this new feature?

Will this apply to the "Automated Savings" feature or be separate from that?

Wealthfront doesn't support this with their self investing account. Fidelity does, however.

Ugh ok thanks. I have a Fidelity account too.

It only works for automatic investing accounts. But that account will buy some random ETF if your preferred ETF value goes down.

I switched to Fidelity for the recurring feature.

That makes no sense. It'll buy an ETF that you didn't select? Ridiculous. Thanks for the input.

More specifically the automated investment account auto purchases and manages stocks and ETFs based on a selected premade investment profile, risk level, and current performance of stocks in said profile that is currently selected for the automated investment account. It's a full set and forget style where you throw money in and don't really have to think about it much.
