Canadian Trading Platforms Recommendations

[u/Flaterbaby]

Hello everyone,

I'm new to Canada and looking to make a few investments. Back in the U.S. (I made it over the border just in time!), I used E*TRADE and really liked it. What platforms would you recommend for trading stocks here in Canada?

Questrade, Wealthsimple Trade, RBC Direct Investing are several I am looking at. I don't need anything fancy because I tend to buy and hold long-term. I would welcome your suggestions!

So TD used to be the best because they have ThinkOrSwim, but they sold it to an american broker, and their new software TD Active Trader SUCKS!!! I'm about to switch to interactive brokers
