I am expecting a financial windfall. I am looking at opening a self-directed investment account.

My question for this group is:

Which platform are you on? What are the pros and cons you have discovered while using this platform?

Some Internet research, which unfortunately I think is mostly biased is recommending Sofi, E*TRADE, Fidelity, and Robin Hood as all 9.0 or above on a scale of 10. Interactive brokers has also showed up on another site with a rating of five out of five.

Specifically what I’m looking at is cost and commissions, and ease of use of the platform.

I would love to hear your experiences, both positive and negative.

Thanks in advance.
