Pros
IG is an LSE-listed company with a transparent financial history and a great track record Over 17,000 assets are available spanning stocks, forex, commodities, baskets, futures, options and more IG offers great educational materials including an extensive library of training and support on how to day trade successfully Users have access to a comprehensive range of charts, market news, client sentiment data, and analysis tools Share dealing and ISAs are available for longer term investing Opening an account takes less than 5 minutes 24/5 customer support is available	I’m satisfied with the brokers strong industry reputation, with multiple awards, custodian backing (including from Interactive Brokers and DBS bank), and its appointed listing on the NASDAQ I think Tiger Brokers competes well with similar brands when it comes to market coverage, with an excellent range of stocks and funds from US and Pacific exchanges I appreciate that there’s no minimum deposit to get started on the powerful trading terminal, which is accessible via a stable desktop app or mobile device I also appreciate that the broker supports fee-free deposits via bank wire and Wise, in a range of currencies including HKD, USD, AUD and EUR I feel relatively safe registering with this broker since it holds reputable licenses with multiple bodies including the SEC, FINRA and MAS There’s a free demo account available for those who want to browse the platform’s features before committing real funds I found several customer service options, including a live chat, telephone number, WhatsApp and email
Cons
Inactivity charge No copy trading platform	I think some traders may feel restricted by the single proprietary platform offering, with no access to popular third-party stock trading terminals like MetaTrader 4 Compared to traditional brokers, there’s limited account funding methods which may be a drawback for traders used to depositing via e-wallets Compared to some other brokers, I think the range of educational resources and market analysis tools is lacking a little I’m a little disappointed that there’s no EMEA market access which would serve a wider cohort of investors
