            I got a $150 reward bonus that was revoked. But I day traded that $150 and turned it into $366, so I should get to keep what I made. They took $150 back from me on June 2nd becuase they said that was the bonus. But now they just took another $150 and said its also the reward bonus, but I made that money by day trading stocks like **** plug, adn. Thats my hard earned money and they are trying to steal it. Let me withdraw my funds to my bank. They only gave me $150 to begin with so if they take another $150 they are literally stealing it out of my pocket.

            They steal your contracts, sell them high, then give you a low quality fill. I was told that I am not allowed to EXIT one of my positions after a certain time of day. Minutes later, they gave me an awful market fill costing me thousands of dollars. Worst brokerage I've ever used. Have never seen a brokerage not allow you to exit your own position. They also don't have stop loss.Use a real brokerage. Stay far away from these people. The only support they have is responding to bad reviews. You won't get a response on the app or website unless you write one.

            Hi ********, Thank you for your review and feedback. Public does begin liquidating positions at 3:30 pm for contracts that are expiring same-day in order to minimize risk. You are able to close your option contract before 3:30 pm if you want to manage the position. We apologize for any inconvenience. Please reach out to us in the app or by email at ********************************* and wed be happy to review the orders in your account.
