Customizable trading dashboard and mobile app bring advanced tools to full spectrum of investors 

CHICAGO, March 4, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Online broker TradingBlock today unveiled a fully customizable trading dashboard and mobile app, delivering professional-grade trading tools to retail investors. The platform allows traders of all levels—whether beginners or advanced—to tailor their trading experience.

As a long-time provider of custom trading technology solutions for individuals, institutions, and Registered Investment Advisors (RIAs), TradingBlock has designed these new tools to eliminate the need to switch platforms as trading needs become more sophisticated.

“Whether you’re a beginner or an advanced trader, you can design and modify layouts within TradingBlock to fit your style without ever outgrowing the platform,” said TradingBlock President and CEO Jere Wickert. “We have more than 20 years of experience serving professional and institutional traders, which puts us in an advantaged position to deliver seamless, professional-grade trading experiences to retail investors. TradingBlock has once again proven that it’s truly made for the way you trade.”

TradingBlock’s fully adaptable dashboard grows with the unique needs of each trader, from beginner-friendly layouts to advanced setups. The web-based platform and mobile app offer ultra-low pricing with zero commissions on stocks and ETFs, and a $0.50 charge per equity options contract, with no minimums.

TradingBlock’s new dashboard is built for traders who need flexibility—whether they trade options, require advanced charting, or feel constrained by their current broker’s technology.

Founded by a former Cboe floor trader and pioneer in online options brokerage, TradingBlock’s customers are backed by a seasoned trade desk and responsive U.S.-based customer support.

“With TradingBlock, you don’t have to switch platforms as you grow as a trader,” said TradingBlock Vice President of Market Strategy Mike Martin. “Customers at any level can design as many custom layouts as they wish based on the data they want to see across one or more monitors. As their needs change, they can modify or create new dashboards that serve them best.”

The launch of professional-grade tools for retail traders follows the recent release of TradingBlock’s customized order-routing algorithms for asset managers and professional and active traders who want to align order-routing algorithms to their unique strategies.

TradingBlock is also introducing a new Learn Center which offers an extensive array of trading videos and tutorials available at https://tradingblock.com/learn.

Greenzie releases 2025 Annual Safety Report, documenting multi-year safety performance at commercial scale

Published

By

The data shows zero lost-time injuries, zero OSHA medical attentions and zero human near-misses across real-world operation

ATLANTA, April 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Greenzie, the technology platform powering commercial autonomy across multiple OEMs, today shared multi-year safety data from real-world commercial operation, documenting more than 150,000 autonomous miles with zero lost-time injuries, zero OSHA medical attentions and zero human near-misses. The data is published in Greenzie’s 2025 Annual Safety Report, available at greenzie.com/safety.

The report is based on extensive operational data spanning more than 5.4 billion square feet of turf mowed, 68,000+ hours of autonomous mowing and more than 50,000 operator days, the equivalent of 265 mowing seasons.

“Greenzie is helping define safety in autonomous landscape operations, and transparency is a critical part of that,” said Steve Bush, chief operating officer of Greenzie. “These results show that commercial autonomy is operating safely at meaningful scale in the field. Transparency matters because as this category matures, real-world data helps build confidence in what responsible deployment looks like.”

The report’s findings are particularly significant in the context of the U.S. landscaping industry, which employs roughly 1.3 million workers and experiences a higher-than-average rate of workplace accidents compared to other fields. Greenzie’s multi-year operating data shows that autonomy is not theoretical; it is already being deployed consistently and performing safely at scale.

“Greenzie Powered Autonomy™ has been validated through years of sustained use in the field,” Bush said. “That level of real-world performance reinforces both the reliability of our platform and the broader readiness of commercial autonomy.”

Greenzie attributes this performance to a disciplined safety approach that includes robust perception, tested operating standards and continuous validation in real-world commercial environments.

About Greenzie

Founded in 2018, Greenzie is the technology platform powering commercial autonomy. Created to solve the landscape industry’s labor and productivity challenges, Greenzie works with leading equipment manufacturers to deliver the software, navigation and safety systems that enable mowing and other outdoor power equipment to operate autonomously in real-world commercial environments. Today, Greenzie’s platform is running on hundreds of machines in active use, helping manufacturers bring autonomy to market and allowing operators to get more done with limited labor—moving autonomy from early experimentation to everyday operations.
