1. Do you have one or more online trading or investment accounts?
Yes, I have one or more accounts that I access both online using a computer and using a mobile app.

No
3. On average, how often do you access your online account?
Daily/more than once a day
4. On average, how often are trades made in your online account, whether by you or someone else?
Other.
If Other, Explain:
No cell, no sell
5. If you access your account online, did you have the account first, and only began to access it electronically later? Or did you open the account with the idea that you would access it electronically immediately?
I downloaded an app or visited a website first, and then opened up an account with the company
6. My goals for trading or investing in my online account are (check all that apply):
Save and grow my money for medium- to long-term goals
Other
If Other, Explain:
To teach the predatory hedge funds, big banks, dtcc and all complicit parties that constantly cheating and stealing from the average joe via naked short selling and dark pool trading etc. will no longer be swept under the rug or tolerated.
7. What would you like us to know about your experience with the features of your online trading or investment platform? (Examples of features are: social networking tools games, streaks, or contests with prizes points, badges, and leaderboards notifications celebrations for trading visual cues, like changing colors ideas presented at order placement or other curated lists or features subscription and membership tiers or chatbots.)
It seems majority of retail orders do not get executed on the lit market and are rather funneled through dark pool exchanges where malevolent entities manipulate stock prices to their liking. END DARK POOL ABUSE.
8. If you were trading or investing prior to using an online account, how have your investing and trading behaviors changed since you started using your online account? (For example, the amount of money you have invested, your interest in learning about investing and saving for retirement, the amount of time you have spent trading, your knowledge of financial products, the number of trades you have made, the amount of money you have made in trading, your knowledge of the markets, the number of different types of financial products you have traded, or your use of margin.)

10. What is your understanding, if any, of the circumstances under which trading or investing in your account can be suspended or restricted?
The brokers that are in bed with hedge funds that are also somehow the market makers get to shut down retail trading when they see fit. This creates a very unlevel playing field and only adds to my distrust of the US financial system and the regulatory agencies that are supposed to keep markets fair and transparent FOR EVERYONE. Not just their buddies with deep pockets.
11. What else would you like us to know positive or negative - about your experience with online trading and investing?
The whole US financial system is a scam and the longer the regulatory agencies are complicit in the malicious practices performed by large banks/ hedge funds, the less likely I am to ever invest in the US markets or recommend anyone do so.
