If you’ve spent any time around stock trading communities, chances are you’ve heard the name Webull pop up more than once. It’s not just another brokerage app—it’s one of the go-to platforms for retail traders across the globe. But what exactly is Webull? Why do so many individual traders prefer it over other platforms? And how does NVSTly take its capabilities even further?
Let’s break it all down.
What Is Webull?
Webull is a commission-free trading app that allows users to trade stocks, ETFs, options, and cryptocurrencies from their phones or desktop. Launched in 2017, it quickly gained popularity for its sleek interface, real-time data, and powerful tools—all without the traditional fees associated with many brokerage platforms.
While it’s often compared to Robinhood, Webull caters more to active traders and those who want slightly more advanced tools without the complexity (or costs) of institutional-level platforms.
What Can You Do on Webull?
Webull offers a full suite of features for modern traders:
- Commission-free trading for stocks, options, ETFs, and crypto
- Extended trading hours (premarket and after-hours)
- In-depth charting tools with technical indicators
- Fractional shares trading to invest with any dollar amount
- Paper trading for practice without real money
- Level 2 market data (Nasdaq TotalView, subscription-based)
- Custom alerts and watchlists
- Community feed for trade ideas and discussions
Whether you’re a beginner trying to learn the ropes or an experienced trader managing multiple positions daily, Webull is designed to give you an edge.
Why Retail Traders Prefer Webull Over Other Brokers
Here are some reasons why Webull has become a fan favorite among retail traders:
✅ Advanced Tools, Simple UI
Unlike many traditional brokers with clunky interfaces, Webull balances powerful tools with a user-friendly design. You get access to real-time quotes, charting with dozens of indicators, and customizable layouts—all wrapped in a clean, modern app.
✅ Free Options Trading
While some platforms charge per contract or per trade for options, Webull offers commission-free options trading, which is a huge win for active options traders.
✅ No Account Minimums
New traders can get started with as little (or as much) money as they want. There are no minimum deposit requirements for standard cash or margin accounts.
✅ Fractional Shares
Webull lets users invest in fractional shares, meaning you don’t need to buy an entire share of high-priced stocks like Amazon or Tesla. You can invest as little as $5 into a stock, making it easier to build a diversified portfolio with any budget.
✅ Paper Trading
Webull gives users a way to test strategies in a simulated environment, which is perfect for learning without risking real money.
✅ Mobile & Desktop Support
Webull’s mobile app is robust, but the desktop version is just as powerful—great for traders who prefer multi-screen setups or deeper analysis.
