CHCF's margin trading is quite restrictive. Typically, my options positions are automatically closed two hours before the market closes, resulting in losses. A lot can happen in those two hours, but it seems like they always expect customers to incur losses. For buy-and-hold investors, be aware that if there's no trading activity within six months, the broker charges a hefty $100 inactivity fee.

So, last December with CHCF wasn't great. I had a hard time getting my money – withdrawals took forever. And to top it off, I couldn't even log in for a week. It was a real headache.
