The Good
  • Broad asset offering in their investing account (more than 10,000 assets)
  • Friendly, smooth and simple proprietary platforms (both web and mobile)
  • Great spreads on stocks and no commissions on investing accounts
  • Their “trading ideas” and “live coaches” offering is quite interesting and provides a lot of value for new traders
  • Their proprietary platform is very simple and easy to use
  • Their equities offering is completely commission-free
The Bad
  • Despite both platforms being beautiful, they are gamified for engagement. Clicking on the buy button on mobile platform will trigger a random order without asking for confirmation
  • Asides from stocks, their asset offering lacks variety
  • Very high forex spreads (1.4 Pips on EUR/USD)
  • Asides from stocks and ETFs, their asset offering lacks variety
  • Their web platform is completely impractical to use for professional trading
  • They don’t let you enjoy your demo trading experience in peace, there is a constant pop-up asking you to fund your account at all times
