Please get off Robinhood (Robbin da Hood). They shut off the "Buy" button last January during the GameStop (GME) "little" squeeze. Right now, Fidelity appears to be the best broker. They offer DWAC. I suggest you download Fidelity's "Trader Pro" app and buy through IEX there. Fidelity finally offered this option. It keeps stocks away from the criminally manipulative hands of the hedge funds, etc. - Of course, if you're buying GME (GAME OVER) then you should buy directly from ComputerShare, or transfer a percentage of your GME from your broker to ComputerShare - where the stock will be in YOUR NAME... not you as a "Street Name" with an IOU from the broker. If your broker goes bankrupt, your stock holdings will only be insured up to $500,000.
Yes. Once you download Active Trader Pro, you'll be able to buy stocks (DWAC, GME, etc.) through IEX. I cannot emphasize enough the importance of using IEX, as it keeps the bad guys' paws off the stock where they manipulate it to your disadvantage.
Select "Trade and Orders" tab... then select "Directed Trade and Extended Hours"
Ticker, Action, Order, Route
Change "Route" from "AUTO" to "IEX", complete trade
BONUS POINTS
After you've bought GME through Fidelity, transfer a good percentage to GameStop's "Transfer Agent" (ComputerShare) where the stock will now actually be in YOUR NAME.
I'm not sure who the Transfer Agent is for DWAC.

Is the Trader Pro different than a regular Fidelity trading app?
Yes. Once you download Active Trader Pro, you'll be able to buy stocks (DWAC, GME, etc.) through IEX. I cannot emphasize enough the importance of using IEX, as it keeps the bad guys' paws off the stock where they manipulate it to your disadvantage.
