Discretionary Margin

Does Public offer an equivalent to Fidelity’s Optional Repayment (Discretionary Margin), where cash deposits remain as cash instead of automatically paying down the margin debit?

I’d like to keep a fixed margin balance while directing new cash deposits toward investments.

Unable to invest in plan despite premium

Hey, i have a decent size account with public for about 50k, and have been with public for about 4 years, so I have premium account from them ( i did not pay for it). But today, suddenly it stopped allowing me to invest money in the my 5th brokerage account i made for emergency funds by choose the investment plan option which i was using for past 2 weeks where i was funding 200 dollars. I cancelled the 200 dollar plan to change to 500 dollar plan but it stopped me saying my plan does not allow these instruments despite all of them seeming to be equity. I have attached screenshots for all.

What is going on with this?

Introducing the QuantInvests Personal Assistant

Where The Quant Invests — and Now Explains — For You

The Pitch

Every institutional desk has an analyst who reads the tape before the market opens, flags what's out of line, and tells the PM what actually needs attention today. QuantInvests now ships that analyst — built into your dashboard, available in chat, and delivered straight to your inbox every morning.

The Personal Assistant is a Gemini/Claude-powered neural layer sitting on top of the same signal engine that drives your portfolio: multipliers, divergence, quality scores, sector caps, and FIFO P&L. It doesn't just show you numbers — it reads them, cross-references them against your actual holdings, and tells you in plain English what's aligned, what's drifting, and what's at risk.

What It Does

CapabilityWhat it feels likeDaily Portfolio BriefingA full narrative digest — delivered by email or on-demand — summarizing exposure, top holdings, sector weights, and signal alignment across every position.**Conversational Analyst (Chat)**Ask it anything — "What's my sector exposure?", "Analyze gold,", "Why is XRT showing a BUY?" — and get an answer grounded in your live data, not a canned response.Rule Violation DetectionAutomatically flags positions where your actual side (long/short) conflicts with the current neural signal — a direct, named list of what to fix first.Sizing & Risk ReviewSurfaces over-allocated positions against their tier targets, flags macro divergence (e.g., net short into a bullish tape), and calls out concentration risk.One-Click Rebalance PreviewA dedicated tab computes the exact buy/sell/short trades needed to bring your book back to model targets — before you commit a single order.Inferred Quick ActionsThe assistant proposes its own follow-up questions based on what it notices in your portfolio that day — you don't have to know what to ask.

Display Example 1 — The Daily Portfolio Briefing

This is a real, generated example of what lands in your inbox (or renders in-app) every trading day:

💼 Portfolio Summary
📊 Overview
 • Total Value: $249,213.21
 • Cash Balance: $352,627.89 (141.5%)
 • Invested: $245,241.28 (98.4%)
 • Total P/L: 📈 $1,800.45 (+0.72%)

🎯 Positions
 ✓ Active: 38   🟢 Long: 15   🔴 Short: 23

🏗️ Sector Allocation
 Sector & Industry ETFs        38.8%  ███████
 Individual Stocks             30.8%  ██████
 Commodity, Currency & Other   25.3%  █████
 Broad Market ETFs              5.1%  █

And then it narrates what that means — not a table dump, an actual brief:

>

Followed by a named, actionable punch list:

1) Immediate Review Items (Rule #1 Violations)
   • AMZN: SHORT 21 shares — neural signal says BUY ($238.34, Quality 8.0)
   • EQT:  SHORT 195 shares — neural signal says BUY ($53.16, Quality 8.0)
   • TSLA: SHORT 2 shares — neural signal says BUY ($420.60, Quality 8.0)

2) Sizing Review (Over-allocated Tier 2 Positions)
   • GLD (6.21% of NAV) and VXX (6.24%) exceed their 2.5% Tier 2 target
     and are explicitly "Signal Restricted"

3) Elevated Risk
   • Gross short exposure ($174,327.98) far exceeds gross long ($70,913.30)
     — squeeze risk if the bullish tape continues

4) Safely Ignore For Now
   • CRWD, IWM, KBE, META, MSFT, QQQ, XBI, XHB — aligned, no action needed

No spreadsheet gymnastics. No cross-referencing five tabs. It's already done.

Display Example 2 — In-App Conversational Analyst

The chat panel sits directly inside the Neural Asset Matrix screener — it already knows your top opportunities and current sentiment before you type a word.

🤖 QuantInvests Assistant
──────────────────────────────────────────────
  Hello! I've analyzed the latest market signals
  and your portfolio. How can I help you optimize
  your positions today?

  Quick Actions:
  [ 💼 Portfolio Check ] [ 📊 Sector Weights ]
  [ 💰 Precious Metals ] [ 📡 Market Briefing ]
──────────────────────────────────────────────
  You: Why is XRT showing a BUY signal but 0%
       target exposure?

  Assistant: XRT's divergence engine flipped
  bullish, but the last Quantitative Researcher
  audit flagged a 33.3% win rate on this symbol
  — triggering an Alpha Multiplier Decay from
  -1.0x to -0.5x. The Kelly/Risk Parity engine
  is capping allocation until a confirmed
  breakout, so it's tracked as a Watch candidate
  rather than a live position.

The assistant even proposes its own next questions — inferred from what it noticed in your book that day — so you're never staring at a blank input box wondering what to ask.

Display Example 3 — One-Click Rebalance Preview

Inside the same panel, a dedicated Rebalance tab turns "what should I trade?" into a concrete, priced order ticket:

📐 Rebalance Preview — Target Alignment
──────────────────────────────────────────────

──────────────────────────────────────────────
 Total Buy:  $2,180     Total Sell/Cover: $6,528
              [ Cancel ]     [ Execute ]

Every row is generated from the same target-allocation matrix that drives the model — the same numbers, presented as an executable plan instead of a wall of CSV.

Why It Matters

Retail platforms give you dashboards. QuantInvests gives you a judgment layer on top of the dashboard — the part that used to require a human analyst reading every signal, cross-checking every position, and writing the morning note. Now it's automatic, it's personalized to your actual book, and it talks back when you have a follow-up question.

Disclosure: QuantInvests is a simulated, educational research tool. Nothing above constitutes financial advice or live asset management.

Direct indexing?

Love all the options on the app. I want to set up a recurring direct indexing into the SP 50.

Does anyone know if it will actually track and modify the 50 stocks based on the actual index?

For example if I have it rebalance quarterly, will it swap out, as an example, maybe a stock that no long meets the qualification of being in the top 50?

Horrible Execution Pre Market

I am trying to clean some shares out of my portfolio and unload a lot of blocks this AM. Mostly being funny maybe all in less than 10k in various etf positions. I am not getting filled on any of them, I am a premium member, and I am placing limit orders above the bid/ask spread as a test and still not getting filled.

LEAVING thousands on the table right now….

Failed Withdrawals?

Does anyone else have troubles with withdrawals? On a margin account, used to being able to withdraw easily from Robinhood, Webull, Fidelity… but frequently have withdrawals rejected on Public. Which then eventually leads to my account being frozen.

I work in finance, I know about fraud prevention mechanisms. just wondering if this is a me thing like they’ve flagged me, or if others are experiencing this and if it’s more so systematic.
