Mbtrading was one of the best cheapest platforms back in the day. I opened an account with them when they were charging 0.01 a share up to 500 shares which at the time was incredibly cheap compared to all other brokers. The other broker that came close to their pricing was Interactive brokers.
So mbtrading was bought by trade king and then I believe allied investment bought trade king. I ended up closing the account after they started increasing brokerage fees and moved my account.
So mbtrading was bought out. Did you use them back in the day?

So fed up with inactivity fees. Alot of these new fintech companies charge zero fees etc. But these old school banks and brokerages completely rip you off. I was being charged $2.50 a month for paper statements. And then another account I had that was inactive was being charged $5 a month. Amazing when these companies make billions off these fees while ripping their customers off
