These enhancements come as retail trading activity surges. Schwab has facilitated more than seven million daily average trades for three consecutive quarters.
“Schwab is a leader in the retail trading space, serving a diverse range of clients thanks to the best-in-class trading experience we offer,” said James Kostulias, Managing Director and Head of Trading Services. “We continuously add new features and resources to serve our clients, expand our offerings, and make the Schwab experience even more compelling for those seeking to trade.”
Platform Enhancements Designed for Investors
The new features focus on usability and informed trading. On Schwab.com and Schwab Mobile, clients can now use the Extended Hours Valuation toggle to view position-level gains, losses, and market value during regular or extended trading hours. A new Fundamentals and Research Ratings section provides over 15 data points on each position, including earnings growth and revenue performance, alongside independent ratings from CFRA, Morningstar, Reuters, and Argus.
Schwab.com has also upgraded options trading. The Saved Orders feature now supports multi-leg options, and the Option Chains tool lets users sort columns, set custom strike intervals, and view historical quotes in a table format. The thinkorswim platform adds portfolio management tools, letting clients track individual tax lots, customize account displays, filter news sources, and monitor cash movements across accounts. Futures traders gain access to 17 new products, including Solana and Micro Solana contracts, reflecting a growing trend in crypto-linked derivatives.

Beyond technology, Schwab continues to emphasize personalized support.

This holistic approach ensures that even beginners can navigate markets with confidence.
