Broker Review
Webull
Founded or launched in 2016 by Wang Anquan, Webull offers technical charting, paper trading and extended-hours access across desktop, web and mobile. Its service model, regulatory registrations and custody arrangements should be considered together because the customer-facing name may span more than one legal entity. Approximately $3.9 billion as of August 2026.
Strengths
- Offers technical charting, paper trading and extended-hours access across desktop, web and mobile
Drawbacks
- At Webull, the feature set that distinguishes Webull can add complexity, service charges or eligibility rules that a buy-and-hold customer may never use
Profile
What you can trade
Stocks, ETFs, options, futures, OTC securities, fixed income, event contracts and crypto through separate services.
Account types
The standard Webull relationship is a self-directed taxable account with cash or approved margin. Retirement, joint and entity registrations are offered only where the broker’s current forms permit them. The registration structure reflects the fact that the service offers technical charting, paper trading and extended-hours access across desktop, web and mobile.
Platform
Webull Desktop for Windows/macOS/Linux, WebTrade and iOS/Android apps. The resulting workflow is tailored to a business that offers technical charting, paper trading and extended-hours access across desktop, web and mobile.
Who it suits
Best suited to Webull customers whose principal requirement is the capability described in this profile, rather than investors choosing a broker only because of a zero-commission headline.
Where it is offered
Webull accepts eligible U.S. customers subject to state-by-state product licensing and also operates internationally through separate affiliates. A foreign version of the platform should not be assumed to offer the same products or safeguards.
