Comment by Reviewer
"Libertex will appeal to both beginner and experienced traders thanks to its easy-to-use platform and low fees. The brand is also a good pick for share dealing with commission-free stock investing."	"With its user-friendly app, low barrier to entry and fractional shares, Trading 212 is particularly suited to beginners. However, it lacks the advanced charting tools experienced day traders will want. Its products are also increasingly geared towards longer-term investors."
Pros
Very competitive pricing with low commission fees User-friendly platform as well as support for MT4 and MT5 Helpful customer support available in multiple languages 250+ underlying assets as well as investment in real shares Accepts wide range of funding methods 40+ industry awards Tight spreads	One of the standout features of Trading 212 is its commission-free trading, meaning you can buy and sell stocks, ETFs, and other financial instruments without incurring traditional brokerage fees Trading 212 has an intuitive and user-friendly platform that is especially accessible for beginners, with a straightforward layout and a reasonable range of tools for analysis The platform offers a good suite of instruments, including stocks, indices, ETFs, currencies, commodities, and CFDs. This variety can help you to create a diversified investment portfolio A sleek mobile app lets you trade on the go. It’s well-designed and offers features similar to the web platform, making it convenient if you prefer mobile trading Up to 5.1% interest on uninvested cash is available, appealing to hands-off investors
Cons
List of tradeable underlying assets is small compared to rivals Lacks educational content and other features Limited account options No copy trading	Experienced day traders who rely on sophisticated technical analysis tools will find Trading 212’s charting features to be somewhat basic, especially compared to alternatives like IG While Trading 212 offers leveraged trading through CFDs, there are restrictions on leverage for certain instruments. If you want high leverage for your strategies, you will find these limitations constraining There’s no copy trading, a significant drawback given Trading 212's client base is largely beginners and brokers like eToro offer this feature There is no support for algorithmic or automated trading, nor third-party apps like MetaTrader 4, which will deter advanced traders. IC Markets ticks these boxes

CFD Trading
Libertex's list of CFDs covers a decent range of tradeable underlying assets, but there isn't much depth with only around 250 in total. Leverage up to 1:30 for retail clients is available in accordance with CySEC regulations, and traders can choose between three excellent trading platforms. Best of all are the tight spreads available on all markets and the zero commissions on investments in stocks.	Engage in leveraged CFD trading across a wide array of instruments, encompassing forex, stocks, commodities, and indices. Yet while the selection of asset classes is satisfactory, the charting software and floating spreads for short-term traders fall behind that of competitors.

Forex Trading
Libertex offers CFD trading on 50+ forex pairs, offering long and short opportunities. Its strength comes in its tight spreads – we were offered 0.2 pips for EUR/USD.	Trade over 180 major, minor, and exotic forex pairs on the Trading 212 platform, featuring floating spreads and leverage up to 1:30. It’s important to note, though, that the forex broker has a history of adjusting margin requirements without providing adequate notice. As a result, CMC Markets is a better pick for forex traders with more currency pairs and a cleaner record.
