Questrade Just Went "Agentic" — What It Means For Your Trading Account

Published July 30, 2026 If you have money sitting in a Questrade account, the platform you log into is about to change more than it has in years. On July 30, Questrade unveiled its biggest product push since it eliminated stock trading commissions in 2019 — and this time, the headline feature isn't a lower fee. It's letting an AI assistant place trades for you. Questrade now manages roughly $100 billion in client assets, up from about $9 billion in 2019, and it's using that scale to go after Canada's increasingly crowded self-directed investing market. Here's what actually launched, and what it means before you touch any of it. What's actually new AI assistants can now trade on your behalf. Questrade is the first Canadian financial institution to officially connect client accounts directly to AI assistants like Claude and ChatGPT through something it calls Questrade MCP. In practice, that means you can ask an AI to pull up your account information, research a s...

Your daily horoscope: March 18, 2025

 

HOROSCOPES IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY

You need to shut down that nagging voice in the back of your mind that is always urging caution. Yes, of course, you can’t just take risks left, right and center but you will need to be adventurous this year if you want to make serious progress.

ARIES (March 21 - April 20):

You have done so many favours for so many people in recent weeks, so it’s no surprise you are feeling a bit rundown. Give yourself a couple of days off, because the sun’s change of signs on Thursday will bring more challenges your way.

TAURUS (April 21 - May 21):

Your feelings for someone have gone from one extreme to the other in recent weeks and it’s time you got yourself back on an even keel. Start by recognizing that you cannot afford to let your heart rule your head every moment of every day.

GEMINI (May 22 - June 21):

It’s a good thing that you enjoy surprises because the planets are lining up something that will shock you in a positive way. Someone you thought you knew everything about will reveal their big secret over the next few days, and it will blow you away!

CANCER (June 22 - July 23):

If there is something about your life you would like to change then think about it seriously today and tomorrow and be ready to make it happen when the sun crosses into the career area of your chart on Thursday. The bigger the change the better.

LEO (July 24 - Aug. 23):

You may not get along with someone on a personal level but that does not mean you cannot co-operate with them in a professional capacity. It could in fact work in your favour in that you don’t waste time on unnecessary and distracting small talk.

VIRGO (Aug. 24 - Sept. 23):

If you must be critical of someone’s efforts today make sure your words are designed to be constructive rather than destructive. The more you build up their confidence now the more likely it is they will make a better job of things later on.

LIBRA (Sept. 24 - Oct. 23):

If you are asked to undertake a job you have no experience in today it might be wiser to turn it down. That won’t be easy, of course, as you always hate to say “No” but on this occasion it could save you from a lot of grief.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24 - Nov. 22):

Usually you are very good at hiding your true feelings, especially when they are negative, but that may not be possible today. In a way that’s good because if you don’t make a bit of a fuss now those feelings could get worse over time.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 - Dec. 21):

The more you try to understand why a loved one is upset about something that seems trivial to you the further away from an answer you will get. So stop trying, put some distance between you and let them enjoy feeling hard done by.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 - Jan. 20):

The past few weeks have been quite exciting and there is no reason why the next few weeks should not be exciting as well, but you will soon have to take on more responsibilities on the home front, so don’t plan quite so many social events.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 - Feb. 19):

It may come as a shock to discover that a friend has done something so out of character but that’s because you don’t know them as well as you thought. Stop trying to project your own values on them and see them for who they really are.

PISCES (Feb. 20 - Mar. 20):

Trust your own feelings today and don’t go along with the crowd just because you don’t want to be the odd one out. If what others are proposing strikes you as risky then simply refuse to take part. You can say “I told you so” later on.
