Most of the mainline brokerages have equivalent functions, so you can't go wrong. There are lots of good videos on Youtube comparing trading platforms.

Avoid Webull, and Robinhood. They are popular with the meme traders, but have poor executions and get buggy during market turbulence.

I would highly recommend a course from TradeSmart University called Fundamentals of Stocks and Options. It's about $17.

That's where I started my journey and provided an excellent, in-depth and well-paced introduction to all the core topics.

Good luck! I love trading.
