  • Tiger and FuTu are the leaders at the moment, Tiger can trade futures and bitcoin is an advantage. FuTu has a deep background in Hong Kong and has a Hong Kong stock license, so it does a better job in Hong Kong stock consulting.
  • Snow surplus securities financing rates are the best (backed by ib really good), although there is no desktop, but there is a huge advantage is and snowball community binding, look at community articles news and buy and sell stocks with an app is more convenient.
  • The company is relatively new, but after I tried it, its mobile viewing interface including technical indicators is quite good. But its financing rate is hard to beat.
