Solid platform for my swing trades, but onboarding felt a bit slow

I’m Fatima from Sharjah and I mainly do swing trades with small position sizes. Overall my experience with Questrade has been positive once the account was up and running. The web platform feels stable and I like that the order confirmations are clear so I don’t accidentally send the wrong size. The main downside for me was the onboarding and verification stage. It wasn’t “bad,” just slower than I expected and I had to double-check a couple of documents before everything was accepted. After that, day-to-day trading has been smooth. Spreads/fees are acceptable for how I trade, but I wouldn’t call it the cheapest option. Deposits worked on the first try and showed up within the expected timeframe. Withdrawals did go through, but one of them took longer than I planned, so I’m not giving a perfect score there. Support was polite and gave me a direct answer, but I did have to wait for a reply during a busy time. Overall: reliable, not perfect, but I’m comfortable keeping a portion of my trading funds there.
