Wealthsimple has zero fees for buying and selling equities. Questrade has more features when it comes to trading options and other trading styles that are not available with Wealthsimple.</p><p dir="ltr">It is important to consider your investment style and trading frequency when choosing between the two platforms.

<h2><p>Questrade Review – Pros and Cons</p></h2> </div>
</div>
<div data- data-element_type="widget" data-widget_type="text-editor.default">

<p dir="ltr">Questrade has several advantages that make it a popular choice among Canadian investors. </p><h3 dir="ltr">Pros:</h3><p dir="ltr">One of the key benefits is its low trading commissions, which can significantly reduce trading costs, especially for active traders.</p><p dir="ltr">Additionally, Questrade offers a wide range of investment options, including stocks, options, ETFs, and mutual funds, allowing investors to diversify their portfolios.</p><p dir="ltr">Another advantage of Questrade is its user-friendly trading platform. The platform is intuitive and easy to navigate, even for beginners. It provides advanced charting tools, real-time quotes, and customizable layouts, allowing investors to make informed decisions. Questrade also offers a mobile app, which enables investors to trade on the go and stay connected to the market.</p><p dir="ltr"><strong>Cons:</strong></p><p dir="ltr">Despite its numerous advantages, there are a few drawbacks to consider when using Questrade.
