As far as I can tell, Trigger is neither broker nor advisor. Why a company that is none of those wants to touch my securities, I can think of no charitable reason for that.
There exist a million reasons you do not want not-quite-stop-limit orders on SPY or GOOG in your personal account, you are up against trade execution systems that smoke your retail broker not to mention this outfit (who you now put between you & your broker).
Please do not bring a butter knife to a gun fight and lose your shirt.

- vehementi 10y agoWhat do you mean by smoke in this context?
- philippnagel 10y agoRetail investors can't compete with HFT in terms of order execution speed.
- vehementi 10y agoSure, but do they need to? Let's accept that HFT vampires steal a bit of the value I wanted to get. But my value is not in trying to be a HFT, it is in (ostensibly) calling that GOOG will go up or something. How does HFT screw me over in that regard?
- mod 10y agoThat would only matter if they were executing on the same trigger, wouldn't it?
