If you have a Schwab account you can do the same "tweaking" directly on your Schwab account site. I would think Fidelity would probably also provide this service to their account holders. Makes me wonder where Cake Premium does it's "tweaking". I find it interesting that for Cake Premium to work you must have an account with a major investment firm like Fidelity or Schwab.
