[Robinhood.com](https://investing.robinhood.com/) claims to be a platform for investing in stocks, ETFs, options and cryptocurrencies. It seems to be geared for US customers but perhaps people from other countries can use it as well. Their selling point from a marketing stand-point seems to be that they claim they are all commission-free and you can use their platform your phone or desktop.  

The platform seems to be well designed to make it easy for new users and also for experts. Overtime you will get a clear view of your portfolio's performance and the platform will allow you to make adjustments to your positions in the market and learn along the way.

While they say they don't charge any commission, their fee list seems to be quite exhaustive. You might want to check that out [here](https://d2ue93q3u507c2.cloudfront.net/assets/robinhood/legal/RHF-RHS%20Retail%20Commissions%20and%20Fees%20Schedule.pdf). But atleast they are transparent about it. 

From a quick research about the platform it seems as though it is quite cheap to use as the trading costs are on the lower side and the mobile and website apps are easy to use as well. However the prices displayed are not real-time as there is a delay. This might affect your trades if there's a sharp rise or fall when you are trading. 

You might want to do some due diligence but the platform needs more features. So far you can trade 6 cryptos and you cannot short ETFs, only go long with them. The newsfeed doesn't seem to offer enough information. So there is plenty of room for further development.

Overall an interesting concept that I came across today and it's great that today you can trade all different kinds of things remotely. I love the cryptocurrency space for having enabled all these endeavours. Goodluck to you with your trades whichever they may be.
