Comment by Reviewer
"BDSwiss will suit active day traders looking for raw pricing, fast execution and powerful trading software with a range of pre-included analysis tools. That said, the range of 250+ assets is smaller than most top competitors."	"Fidelity is a great match for long-term investors who want an affordable platform to build their pension or investment portfolios. The SEC and FCA oversight are also good signs that the brokerage is regulated and trustworthy."
