Full Webull Review

Webull is a Chinese based stock & crypto broker that offers free trades to its customers. Webull is considered a strong alternative to Robinhood and many investors use the platform on a regular basis.

Account Opening

To get started, sign up for Webull using this link to receive 2 free stocks after your first deposit.

It takes around 2 to 3 business days to setup and approve your account.

Once your account is confirmed, you can make your first deposit via bank ACH and begin trading on the platform.

Right now, Webull is only available in the United States, India, Brazil, Turkey, Japan, China, and Korea. If you live in Canada or outside any of these countries then try Robinhood or another similar brokerage. I’ll review more stock trading apps in the future to give you some more options.

Webull Non-Trading Fees

Webull has low non-trading fees. It charges neither an account or an inactivity fee.

There is no deposit or withdrawal fee if you use ACH (electronic) transfer. However, wire transfers have a rather high fee. We tested ACH, so we paid no withdrawal fee.

Webull has an amazing mobile app that makes it easy to buy and sell, build watchlists, and track stock, ETF, and crypto prices in real-time.

Webull Watchlists

You can use the Watchlist feature to track individual assets on one single page. Here’s an example of my “EV Stocks” watchlist:

Research

Webull really shines with its comprehensive technical & fundamental analysis data that helps making research pretty simple.

Customer Service

Education

Webull offers a demo paper trading account (aka virtual stock trading) to allow beginners to practice investing in stocks, ETFs, and crypto without risking any money.

You can access “Paper Trading” by clicking the Menu on the bottom right hand corner of the Webull app and pressing the “Paper Trade” icon.

Safety

Trading Stocks & Crypto

Webull offers free stock trades and that’s one of the main reasons I use the platform. You can setup limit or market orders along with advanced exit orders like trailing stops and stop losses.

Webull also supports fractional share trading and DRIP (dividend reinvestment plans) too.

However, I don’t recommend trading crypto on the platform because you cannot send your coins to another wallet (similar to the problem with Robinhood). When you purchase crypto on Webull, you hold a deritivate of the coin and must sell your crypto to lock in any gains.

If you are interested in HODLing your coins for the long run then I recommend using Coinbase or another cryptocurrency exchange instead.

If you’re just interested in trading crypto for a profit then Webull is a good enough choice.

Yes. Webull is used by millions of investors (including myself) who use the platform for stock, options, and crypto trading.

If you have at least $25,000 to avoid the Pattern Day Trading rule then Webull is useful for day trading stocks & crypto. Webull offers better charts & level 2 quotes than competitors like Robinhood. Many day traders use Webull to scalp profits and grow their accounts.

If you’re a buy and hold investor then Webull is a good alternative to Robinhood for holding long term stocks like Tesla or Apple. If any of your positions receive a dividend then Webull will automatically credit it to your account or you can setup a DRIP.

I prefer Webull over Robinhood because Webull offers better watchlists, free paper trading, and advanced charts for day and swing traders. Robinhood is good for beginners but consider switching to Webull once you reach learn how investing works.
