Your phone buzzes, you dodge a fee, you win. If only the second step were automatic.
- Most fee changes are small and irrelevant to you; relevance beats volume - Tell the app your profile (options trader, margin borrower, buy-and-hold saver) and it watches your fee lines only - Check the data source: if it cannot show the schedule it read, treat alerts as rumors - Three alerts worth setting: margin tier changes, account fee changes, promo deadlines - Once a year, do the manual audit anyway with the actual fee PDF
BrokerMatch ($2.99 one-time) does that annual audit for you: your habits, priced across brokers, no PDFs required.
