Hi, i've created a custom indexing account recently and i've been flooded with actual paper mail about voting codes or litteral books with proposition to shareholder. How can i receive this stuff electronically instead. thanks!
I am so happy
So the 2 easiest criteria for most long-term investors seems to be the minimum balance requirement and 250 trades. Is there anything stopping someone from say, setting up 250 $1 buy orders for XEQT for example?
Has anyone done this successfully to get Questrade Reserve status?
Seems like a bit of an obvious loophole that they would close...
It says that when I buy I should be paying 2.5% for a $5000 minimum that's $125.
To make it worse when you sell assuming within the year they charge 0.5% of market value.
Isn't that a little too steep?
Just want to check if anyone received their $300 for the promo they ran 2months back.
The pay our date was supposed to be 14th August.
I dont get this.
You waste time browsing adding to cart going to checkout and by the time you finished entering your adress it says out of stock.
What is this ? Some sort of celine dion hunt for tickets?
It’d have been best to not offer anything than do it this way
I would like to know whether a Canadian citizen living as a tax resident in Germany can open, transfer in-kind from another Canadian bank and maintain a TFSA, RRSP and non-registered investments at quest trade, as a non-resident. I understand that I will not be able to contribute to the TFSA, but will be able to sell and trade existing funds within the TFSA.
Thanks
I saw posts from last week saying that the balance sheet wasn't updating, or the "refresh" wasn't working. I tried it today and I still see the same. I am on the Android app v2.0.2, and all the balances are from the day I actually did the linking. I tried the "refresh" and it asked me to re-link every account through flinks again.
I was really happy to see this new feature, but if I have to re-authenticate every time I want to see the latest balance of my accounts, then it kind of defeats the whole purpose of having the feature at all. Always being able to see the latest balance from all accounts or at least some auto-refresh in the backend once every day or once a week would be ideal, but if I have to refresh every time I want to see the latest status and then have to re-authenticate as well, then I might as well just manually login to all my accounts and check the balance.
What's the intended behaviour of this feature, and when do we expect to get there?
Hey r/Questrade — wanted to take a moment to walk through the changes to Questrade Plus. There is a price change, so context feels useful here.
What’s new in Plus:
What’s staying in Plus: unlimited journaling and real-time market data.
What’s moving out of Plus, into free-for-everyone: Custom Alerts and the P&L calculator.
Pricing: Plus is free for everyone — new and existing subscribers — until September 30th. Starting October 1st, it’s $19.99+tax/ month. Cancel anytime.
Is it worth it?
Depends on how you’d actually use it. For example, if the RRSP match is the only piece that applies to you, the match doesn’t quite work on its own — contributing $10K over the year to a 1% match won’t cover a $20/ month fee. The value shows up when you stack the match against the rest of the bundle: options cashback, the WSJ/MasterClass/ Headway subscriptions, the unlimited journaling. If none of that fits how you invest, it’s probably not worth it for you right now.
It’s free to try until September 30 though, so you can run the math on your own use case before anything is charged. If there is one benefit that would tip it for you, please tell us in the comments! That’s the kind of feedback that shaped this update.
Happy to answer anything else below.

Just saw the screenshot of Questrade mobile app in the AppStore, it shows a Spend tab, QuestBank coming soon?
Finally!
Couldn't find SpaceX anywhere on the app. This new update is so buggy...
You must fulfill at least 2 /4 criteria
250k balance over 1 year
250 trades executed
2500 options contracts trades
25k margin debit balance
easiest way is probably meeting first 2 for many.
Questrade should reconsider either removing 1 criteria or add higher balance on top of 4 as an example. Wealthsimple has their perks at 100k or 500k.
For Gambit a few times a year or contributing RRSP, questrade reserve is a good deal. However, it would be annoying to just trade low spread stocks 200+ times, considering tax reporting(I don't think spamming trade is going to work well with registered account).
Was initially very excited for this, linked many different types of accounts with 2 other banks and everything seemed ok!
But then I noticed the account balances aren’t refreshing automatically, I tried the manual refresh and that did nothing this morning.
Tried the manual refresh button again now and the app prompted me to re-link every single account. While they did all update after I re-linked them, my CC is showing -1275% all time, with a $96 balance, when in fact I just overpaid it by $96 because there’s some pending transactions (so it should read -$96). This is throwing the whole picture off (yes, very slightly, but still).
Anyone else having issues?? I’m on an iPhone.
I’d really like to see Questrade implement passkeys for account sign-in and authentication. Wealthsimple has done this recently.
Passkeys would provide a more secure and convenient alternative to passwords and other MFA even. They reduce the risk of phishing, credential stuffing, SIM-swapping, and reused passwords, while making login easier through Face ID, Touch ID, Windows Hello, or a hardware security key.
For a financial platform, strong phishing-resistant authentication should be a priority. Please consider it!
What annual interest rate does Questrade give on positive CAD cash balances in my TFSA and RRSP?
Is it 0? (Thus it perpatually loses money to inflation).
If so, if I want to keep part of my portfolio in "dry powder" form (be more conservative), should I consider having it in something like "CASH.TO" instead?
Should I basically never leave any of my portfolio sitting in basic liquid cash?
Does it matter the account type? (TFSA, RRSP versus regular non-registered)
I can no longer see the balance sheet page, was this removed?
Update: i had to update the app and can see it now.
