(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.)
I don't think manipulative user interfaces or \"gamification\" of stock trading is what we should be concerned with in the markets. The lack of transparency of how trades are routed and If retail is actually getting a best execution on orders through these trading apps is more important. Additionally, clear conflict of interest between designated market makers and hedge funds is incredibly damaging to the market and fair price discovery in it's own right.

It is the future of the financial markets and the federal government needs to get knowledgeable people in positions that can enact meaningful legislation to protect the rising retail investor population and level the playing field or you are going to loose the trust and faith of generations of investors.
