Comment by Reviewer
"IG continues to provide a comprehensive package with an intuitive web platform and best-in-class education for beginners, plus advanced charting tools, real-time data, and fast execution speeds for experienced day traders."	"Quotex is best for making short-term trades on popular markets. The payouts up to 98% are above average and enhancements to the platform have ensured it's easy to use for beginners. That said, the lack of regulatory oversight, limited education and weak support are key drawbacks."

Beginners might find IG’s fee structure complex, with various fees for different types of trades or services, potentially leading to confusion or unexpected charges While there is negative balance protection in the UK and EU, there is no account protection or guaranteed stop losses for US clients IG has discontinued its swap-free account, reducing its appeal to Islamic traders Stock and CFD spreads still trail the cheapest brokers like CMC Markets based on tests IG applies an inactivity fee of $12 per month after 2 years, deterring casual investors	Quotex is unregulated, which means traders may receive limited safeguards Despite advertised payouts of up to 98%, testing shows average payouts trail best-in-class broker Pocket Option There is no copy trading, which could support new traders looking to learn from experienced investors Customer support has been weak during tests with no live chat and slow response times Quotex trails industry leaders when it comes to education and market research

App Review
IG offers a superb all-round trading app. One of the pioneers of mobile trading, the application has been developed and refined over many years, meaning it is now among the best trading apps. Quick response, user-friendly layout, access to full charting and a stable and reliable application. It also offers guaranteed stops – an important risk management tool not available on many apps we’ve tested.	Quotex offers a fully-featured trading app that’s packed with helpful tools, from dynamic charting to in-built signals. It follows the same user-friendly design as the desktop platform, ensuring a smooth transition whether you’re trading from a computer, tablet or mobile device. And with over 1 million downloads and at least 4/5 on the Apple App Store and Google Play Store, it’s proven popular with all types of mobile traders.

Cryptocurrency
IG's modest selection of 11 crypto CFDs trails top crypto brokers like Vantage which offers 40+ tokens. That said, it stands out with its crypto index, which tracks the value of the top 10 digital currencies by market cap and provides a holistic way to speculate on the value of the crypto market.	Quotex only offers binary options trading on a handful of cryptos. Yet while the range of digital currencies is narrow, there are leading tokens, including Bitcoin, Litecoin and Ethereum. Payouts on cryptocurrencies are also above average based on routine tests.
