Comment by Reviewer
"ActivTrades is an excellent option for day traders with ultra-fast execution speeds, very low spreads, no requotes and a choice of superb trading software."	"I think traders looking for an easy-to-use mobile trading app with auto investment options and savings plans should consider Trade Republic. However, after testing out the account, the lack of additional tools and resources was a major drawback for me."
Pros
Respected brand with 20+ years experience and 45+ awards Fast execution speeds with an average of 0.004 seconds ActivTrader Smart Order 2 increases investing efficiency Spreads from 0.5 pips on thousands of forex CFDs High-quality daily market analysis 24/5 customer support Generous margins Free webinars VPS service	It's good to see that Trade Republic is authorized and regulated by the Federal Bank of Germany (BaFin) with €100,000 compensation available per investor I'm a fan of Trade Republic's sleek and modern mobile app with simple navigation and an easy-to-use interface I think the commission-free pricing model on all assets with $0 minimum deposit and $1 minimum investment makes the broker ideal for beginners Trade Republic offers a pretty impressive asset list including 8000+ international stocks, 500+ ETFs, 40,000+ derivatives and 50+ crypto coins I also like that interest payments are available on uninvested cash balances
Cons
£10 monthly inactivity fee after a year of no trading Not available to residents in the USA and Canada	I think it's a shame that there's no demo account or any educational content on offer for beginners There are limited customer support options with no live chat or telephone contact My tests found that Trade Republic is only available to European residents
