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.
2. If your response to Question 1 is Yes, do you think you would trade or invest if you could not do so online using a computer or using a mobile app?
Yes
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?
Daily/more than once a day.
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 had a pre-existing account and downloaded an app or visited a website to access my account
6. My goals for trading or investing in my online account are (check all that apply):
Keep the amount of money I have, while keeping up with inflation
Save and grow my money for short-term goals (in the next year or two)
Save and grow my money for medium- to long-term goals
Have fun
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.)
Visual cues, easy to read charts, ability to chart quickly and accurately.
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.)
I have learned more about markets, how to effectively trade and earn profits, and how much market manipulation exists yet the SEC does nothing except allow market makers, brokers, and ATS/Dark pools screw over retail traders.

10. What is your understanding, if any, of the circumstances under which trading or investing in your account can be suspended or restricted?
I am very well aware of suspensions and restrictions, as I am a day trader maintaining adequate daily funds.
11. What else would you like us to know positive or negative - about your experience with online trading and investing?
I would like to know why the buy button was turned off on Gamestop, where is the SEC report, and what Gary Gensler intends to do about market manipulation, synthetic naked shorts, short ladder attacks, and all of illegal activities that have contributed to destroying American innovation (e.g. Cancer research) by shorting hedge funds including but not limited to delisted stocks like $BLIAQ $SHLDQ which continue to trade in OTC markets but have been restricted from retail traders meanwhile remain active as leverage for shorting hedge funds.
I would like to also know why the DTCC (and SROs), SEC, and prime brokers are working together, so tirelessly to prevent the average working American Citizen from trading legally and safely? Please help me understand why blatant pump and dumps where mainstream media (e.g. Jim Cramer, Anthony Chukumba) is involved in colluding are allowed to screw over retail traders? I am at a loss for words how any good people can stand by when they are sworn under oath to protect the very people which is their duty to uphold. Where is the justice? Or are we just living in a completely fraudulent system?
