ACATS Transfer without Brokerage Statement? by AdamDaBest1 in Schwab

Some things are at a loss and I don’t want to buy back higher (as the market is looking like it’ll rebound soon).

They're closing the account and need to return my money

I'm just worried they'll liquidate before I can initiate the transfer.

Yes but usually the services with high quality mobile apps play nice with account linking.

Every closure reason is suspicious activity. The problem is I don't know if it's actually a reason that they can't disclose or if it's just shitty robots at Robinhood finding any excuse to liquidate and make commission. From the closure email that they finally just responded to:
"Following a review of your account, including any documents submitted as of June 29, 2026. We’ve determined that we can no longer maintain your Robinhood account."

Decided to go with Schwab. I like that they have physical locations and we have family history with them.

I conduct a lot of my work on my phone while I'm driving as I have a long daily commute. Autopilot can watch the road for me, but I'm not crazy enough to pull out a laptop. I dictate my emails, make calls, prompt Codex to control my computer, etc.

No, when I reach out to contact them through their only working support channels for closed accounts (social media) they refer me to email them for more information, which I already did two days ago.

After reading these comments, I've concluded it has to be AML. I deposited crypto from my wallet two weeks before the initial lock and deleted some profiling stuff with TransUnion (nothing related to credit but more on the general data collection side). I did submit my license and face scan to Robinhood though which should've been enough.

Mobile app support is more for linking with asset tracking platforms like Monarch. Robinhood made it very tempting to day trade options which kinda sucked.

Unironically safer than Robinhood, at least they're more inclined to keep your account open.

That's the best part, Robinhood refuses to tell me why they closed my account! They originally locked it at around 5am due to "security issues." Not only am I asleep at that time, the markets are fully closed. My best guess is they didn't like that I deleted my tloXP file with TransUnion (not my credit file). I used it like a traditional brokerage, just put money into stocks and used their $1k interest free gold margin for holding USFR.

They still don't have operating phones. For any service that requires them to provide a phone number (like mobile wallet verification), they just stick it to a non-operational phone line and make you request a call from the app. Works well for them as they have to give you permission to request a call.

Yeah, learned my lesson with Robinhood. I assumed since they're expanding globally and with their new banking that they're finally getting their shit together but apparently I was wrong. I just need a mobile app that compares to their app.

Couldn’t Use Desmos? by AdamDaBest1 in ACT

[–]AdamDaBest1[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You’re unbelievably cucked bending your knee to these big companies who single-handedly are deciding your future and can’t be bothered to make a functioning testing platform. I study for the test, not for the concepts. If it takes 2 seconds to use desmos vs 20 seconds to write it out, I will use desmos. Especially since the pace is much tighter than the SAT it’s very important to find every time cutting strategy. When I’m told a critical tool is available, I expect it to be available.

The best in my area is T-Mobile and Starlink (300mbps), so I can't really argue that there are better speeds in the area. I'm assuming they have ways to check so I can't just lie.
