Isn't pushing Robinhood gold (leverage) onto users with repeated in app messaging about how great it is, Robinhood pushing users to do irresponsible things? Or the fact that if you end the day down, your whole app is red, unless you deposit enough additional cash to cover your losses and then it switches back to green? (edit note: not sure if this is still the case but it was true in the early days of the android app). The app feels like a mobile game developer switched to the stock market.

If you deposit more cash than you lost in a day, does it flip back to green?

As far as I remember, it's just based on the gains / losses you had during the day. So depositing cash at the end of the day shouldn't affect your gain/loss.

I deleted Robinhood about a year ago but I remember early in Robinhood days that I deposited cash and it flipped back to green. Hopefully they changed that behavior by now.

Yes it does flip it back to green.

Sounds like the ultimate "Deposit another coin to Continue or Restart".
