r/Webull

I wanted to place a limit sell order in the aftermarket hours, but I don't see the option to do so?

I have extended hours enabled in settings, but in the order itself it only gives 2 options: regular hours and pre-market hours.

Why?

Having issues selling covered calls today. This is the first batch I've tried to sell since an update in the middle of last week. It says that I don't have enough of the underlying shares, yet I do. I put in a ticket, just wondering if anyone else is also having issues.

What are cons/negatives of Webull for casual, non-active trading? Does Webull restrict a bunch of stocks like Schwab does?

Question for the community - is anyone using Webull for a strategy that involves shorting?

I primarily trade during pre-market and sometimes after hours, due to work schedule.

I focus on two primary strategies, longs on small cap gainers in premarket, and also shorting those small cap premarket gainers.

The issue I have is that SO many times, even when Webull shows a stock to be shortable or hard to borrow, I click the button and get the inevitable pop up "Insufficient shares available, lower share size or try again tomorrow.' I'll even go down to just one share to check, still get same message.

Now I know that many of these small cap, lower-float stocks will be limited in shares available to borrow to take a short position, esp. when already marked as HTB. I def get that.

But man it is frustrating to see chance after chance go by, and I couldn't take a position, simply because the broker could not get me the shares.

My accuracy is good with my short positions. Just this past week, on at least 5-6 different occasions, I would have been right, and watched the move go without me.

Wondering if IBKR or another brokerage would have better access to pools of stock shares for borrowing to short?

Also wondering if going to Webull's premium subscription (only like $4.99/mo) would put me in a different tier or class, where i'd see more stocks available to short?

Just to chime in on the many posts about Webull's app and features - I like the desktop app, I think the charting is intuitive and well suited for active trading. It may not have the plethora of indicators and customization as a Tradingview, for example. But I also take the position of Keep It Simple. I don't need 100 indicators and a crazy busy screen. I try to have a sound strategy that is testable and repeatable.

For my money's worth, I think Webull app and execution speed is just fine for active trading. The app does a really nice job of letting you customize hotkeys to get in and out quickly. On those occasions where I can get into a position, long or short, the execution is very quick.

Anyone else work a short-selling strategy using Webull, and any thoughts? Def appreciate the community's thoughts on this.

I just switched to webull from robinhood for a bunch of reasons, most of them fixed by webull, but I kind of want to leave now lol. I just tried to buy some shares "overnight" and the sale was rejected, despite me having more than enough cash. After looking around apparently you aren't allowed to use your unsettled funds for overnight trading? What was the point of me signing up for a margin account... I day and swing trade, so my funds are basically never settled. Honestly I'm kind of tweaking out over this lmao. Switching brokers was such a pain and I missed out on so many trading days.

Looking to be able to get the desktop app on my new phone as I want the widgets to look a certain way. Anyone know a way to do this? I want to see Order Book L2 & Time and Sales next to each other while I also have Tradingview open on my phone.

Just a reminder since if people start transferring their accounts of webull the day after their last transfer (which is coming up for me in about a month) you may get any transfers from the last 90 days rescinded. And that would suck.

Edit to add the T&C rule text:

5. Eligible Customers must maintain the amount of any Tier 1 Offer Reward or Tier 2 Offer Reward (minus any trading losses) in their Webull Brokerage Account for at least 90 days from the date on which such Offer Reward payment is credited to their Webull Account. If an Eligible Customer fails to comply with this requirement, Webull may, in its sole discretion, debit the Eligible Customer’s Webull Brokerage Account the amount of such payment.

For a little context, I am 18 and wanted to create a Webull account I created it with no issues. Due to me being that age I created a bank account as well because I am now allowed too. I want to deposit mid 5 figures into my Webull, I deposit around half of the the total amount via ACH transfer. My account gets so many restrictions placed on it and yesterday they were asking for a bank statement which I can not get due to the bank account being created newly, today they said a statement from 3 months ago, again that is going to take forever, the account is new. Support is each telling me different things what do I need to do.

Newby to Webull here. Went to use my debit card from Capital One today and WB said no because it is Discovey.

What do they care if it is a debit card. If there aren't funds it won't go through so what is the hangup?

I can see the stock price moving on the top gainers section, I look at the same stock on the chart and the candle is moving like normal..

Then the chart and candles freeze, no movement. But I can see price moving on the top gainers. Anyone else having this problem? Any idea on how to fix it? Thank you.
