TradeApp offers commission free trading and no management fee. They likely make money in several different ways:

1. Rebates from market makers and trading venues: Market makers (typically big institutions/funds) buy directly through the brokers to have discounted purchases. For that ability, the market makers pay a rebate to the brokerage to receive their orders . The brokerage sends your orders to the market maker that is most likely to execute at the best price for you and makes a few cents on each trade.
2. Income generated from cash: They borrow the cash sitting in your account and invest it into interest earning accounts and keep the profit.
3. Stock loan income from counterparties: They receive interest for loaning out shares for short sales.

All investments involve risk and the past performance of a security or financial product does not guarantee future results or returns. The value of your investment may fluctuate over time, and you may gain or lose money. While diversification may help spread risk it does not assure a profit or protect against loss in a down market. Investors should consider their investment objectives and risks carefully before investing.
