Firstrade’s Commission-free Apps Simplify Investing for Options and Active Traders
Firstrade options traders pay no commission, contract, exercise or assignment fees, and zero commissions on all stocks, ETFs and mutual funds.
The latest app enhances the options trading experience by improving trading workflows. Users can now trade through a contextual menu and add, close or even edit complex options orders more easily. Risk management protocols, such as a new Risk/Reward profile that alerts traders to potential maximum gain or loss, are built-in to educate traders and promote sound financial decisions. Firstrade traders can now apply for margin and options trading privileges directly from the app without needing to apply on the website.
New charts and improvements to existing modules have been added that provide a consolidated view of all relevant data to a trader's position and easier access to commonly used tools and account management features, including an account funding shortcut.
Additional upgrades include:
Seamless Portfolio and Watchlist
- Design upgrades provide for enhanced account management by consolidating and simplifying user information.
- Indices can be minimized to view more holdings at once.
- Full portfolio view with new pie chart.
- See all data in one consolidated positions table, mirroring the Firstrade desktop experience.

- Set preferred Transactions or Order Type default settings for stock and single-leg options orders.
- Redesigned options chain to view calls, puts and additional data points, all on the same screen.
