Robinhood is still screwing over users on market orders.
I mirror trades between Alpaca and Robin Hood. When my bot executes trades on alpaca. 90% of the time it’s exactly what is quoted at that time. Example: If my account value is $30,000. I sell all at market. I get $30,000(-$0.01 fee for selling) so I get 29,999.99
The same quote executed on Robinhood. I lose %0.21 or %0.51 on my account value. Example: If my account value is $30,000. I sell all at market. I get $29,937.
You may say. Bruh. Just use limit order. Limit orders sometimes don’t get filled. On alpaca, it gets filled. Robinhood market orders takes away your gains.
You may think I’m joking. But I’m not. Last year. I got an email from RobinHood addressing it and crediting my account. This year. It’s worst.
Last year email.
