Robinhood Legend: The New Desktop Platform Designed for Active Traders in the UK

US neobroker Robinhood is taking a major step in the UK market with the launch of Robinhood Legend — a fully customizable, browser-based desktop platform built specifically for active traders.

A Free, Professional-Grade Platform for the Modern Trader

Robinhood Legend offers advanced trading features without the typical price tag. UK users can access:

  • Fully personalized layouts

  • One-click trading from charts and watchlists

  • Real-time market data (sub-second updates)

  • 80+ technical indicators, including VWAP, Bollinger Bands, and Ichimoku Cloud

  • Multi-monitor support

  • And the best part? It’s completely free for anyone with a Robinhood account.

Traders can buy and sell 6,000+ US stocks commission-free, with just $0.50 per contract for options trades.

Robinhood Is Aiming Big

“The goal is for Robinhood to be the number one platform for active investors globally,” said Jordan Sinclair, President of Robinhood UK. “Robinhood Legend gives UK investors the speed, precision, and customisation they need to stay ahead of the curve — with a platform that’s powerful, intuitive, beautifully designed, and free. It’s the new standard for modern trading in the UK, and still only the beginning of what we’re building here.”

According to company data, desktop trading is nearly as common as mobile trading in the UK — but only one-third of users are happy with their current setup. Legend was designed to fix this.

Robinhood Legend allows traders to build their workspace, trade faster, and analyze smarter — all without sacrificing design or ease of use.

Why Prop Traders Should Care

While Robinhood is not a prop firm, its “pro trader energy” is undeniable. Robinhood Legend mirrors the performance-driven environment prop traders are used to — minus the evaluation fees or challenges.

For prop traders, platforms like Legend signal a broader trend: retail infrastructure is catching up. And for firms looking to onboard skilled retail traders, Robinhood’s expansion into advanced tooling makes that pool even stronger.
