How to Use the E*TRADE Mobile App

TL;DR

  • Use Power E*TRADE for advanced trading, especially options.
  • Regular E*TRADE app is suitable for monitoring positions.
  • Extended hours trading requires signing a form.

Choosing Between ETRADE and Power ETRADE

For users looking to trade on the go, it is recommended to use the Power ETRADE app rather than the regular ETRADE app. The Power ETRADE app offers a more robust interface, particularly beneficial for options trading [1:1]. However, you can use the Power ETRADE app with a regular E*TRADE account, as it doesn't require a separate account [1:4].

App Performance and Updates

Some users have reported issues with the new updates to the ETRADE mobile app, such as delays in pulling real-time data and frustrating options views [1:3], [4:9]. If you're experiencing performance issues, it might be worth trying both the regular and Power ETRADE apps to see which works better for you [4:7].

Trading Features

The Power ETRADE app allows users to repeat orders by going to the orders section and copying any order [3:3]. However, some users find limitations in editing open orders and prefer using ETRADE Pro for saving and duplicating orders [3:4], [3:8].

Extended Hours Trading

To trade during pre-market (PM) and after-hours (AH) sessions, users must sign a form that enables extended hours trading. This can be done by calling E*TRADE customer service or accessing the form from a computer [5:1], [5:6]. Once signed, users will see "ext hours" in the dropdown menu when setting a limit trade [5:1].

Additional Considerations

While the mobile app provides convenience, some users find the desktop site offers unique features not available on the app [2]. Additionally, if you encounter issues with the app, contacting customer service may help resolve them, as E*TRADE is known for excellent customer support [2:3].

You can use the regular account. It’s just a more powerful trading interface.

They rolled it out a few weeks ago, at least on my Pixel 5. The delay is kind of annoying to pull real time data, and the options view is very frustrating.

At least I can now scroll left and right without issues.

Posted by KatBoss01 · in r/etrade · 3 months ago

I see a lot of people unhappy with Etrade on here. I’ve been with them for over 10 years, and have generally found it to be pretty good. The fees aren’t the cheapest, but they’re not crazy. The platform is full of useful features, like Power Etrade. My biggest complaint is that I actually have a better experience on the iPhone app than on the desktop site. My charts and live data are easier to monitor on the app than the desktop, but I can’t be logged in to the desktop for the unique features offered there while also logged in through my desktop. I’ve also found customer service to be very helpful (which is how I discovered Power E*Trade); they helped me execute an option trade that wasn’t working on the site. So, if you’ve switched away from Etrade, please let me know what you found that was better and why.

I have switched away from etrade as my primary account twice. Then through mergers I end up back at etrade eventually. this is over several decades. their margin rates are terrible, that is the only real complaint I have.

otherwise they have come a long way over the decades. there are minor things with orders I don't like.

they do have excellent customer service and the best fixed income side of things for retail investors. I have had to call their fixed income desk a few times they were worth the fee.

I'm sticking with E*Trade Pro as long as it's available. The ability to save orders and duplicate orders is super helpful. Repeating an order in Power E*Trade didn't even seem possible, at least not as easily as it is by simply right clicking Pro and picking duplicate order.

I agree with you. I have not used pro since power came out.

I bought my first stock with E*Trade in 1998.

I have seen lots of changes to the platform as you can imagine.

I have never had an issue that has not been resolved.

If I was not happy, I would bolt to one of the very fine competitors.

I hear transferring is a breeze.

Good luck!

Am I crazy or does the power Etrade app not allow you to edit open orders. If I have an option order to sell at a price for profit and cut it at a loss it doesn’t allow me to modify it. Only cancel it. Am I crazy or missing something

Want to lose money update your E*TRADE app.

Posted by mhwhynot · in r/investing · 5 years ago

Been with E*TRADE since 2013 and had not one complaint. I updated the app Friday night thinking update means better. This new app is garbage. It’s not even the design. The app is about 10 seconds behind simple tasks such as scrolling down the screen. It’s frozen about 20 times so far. This is all with the market closed on the weekend. Monday morning should be fantastic when it tries to perform the complicated task of updating numbers. God help me if I need to make a trade.

Need to call them and they will walk you through signing a form that will allow extended hours trades. Once you sign, it enabled your account and you will see "ext hours" in the drop down when you set a limit trade.

Why was my phone running E*trade and the camera all night after I went to bed?

Posted by No_Reading_5187 · in r/iphone · 2 years ago

I never look at Screen Time but it caught my eye today when I saw how much usage there was today. At midnight it shows about 30 minutes of operation for camera and E*Trade. Between then and 7am they are both open the whole six hours. Then about 20 minutes for 7am. Nothing for two hours, until I start using my phone around 10am.

I had my phone locked before I went to bed. Should I be suspicious?

Can Someone Explain E*TRADE's Major Issues

Posted by Saltyintelspaceguy · in r/stocks · 4 years ago

Since the pandemic, the minute you click a ticker, I get an interrupted page half the time. This requires you to resort to mobile where the UI isn't nearly as beneficial to research before putting in an order. Extremely frustrating.

​

Is it a terrible cloud provider they run on; or maybe an "on-prem" solution that is overloaded by volume? I'm close to pulling over $200K worth of money out to find a different broker.

Thoughts and similar experiences?

if you read the fine print when singing up for your brokerage, you would see that they are not held liable for discrepancies and incorrect values presented on their trading platforms. These sorts of glitches happen.

But what if they are regularly occurring and only on one particular stock? I’m not trying to sue E*TRADE�� just curious why this only happens with GME and why the white to blue shift happens. This used to only happen during after hours for GME but over the last 2 weeks it’s been occurring during normal trading hours.
