Comment by Reviewer
"Plus500 offers a super-clean experience for traders with a CFD trading platform that sports a modern design and dynamic charting. That said, the broker’s research tools are limited, fees trail the cheapest brokers, and there’s room for enhancement in its educational resources."	"We recommend ZuluTrade for investors interested in joining one of the world's largest and best-performing social trading networks. The platform is user-friendly and clients can copy trade in a variety of popular financial markets."

Cons
Plus500’s lack of support for MetaTrader or cTrader charting tools might be a deal breaker for advanced day traders looking for familiarity Educational resources are limited compared to best-in-class brokers like eToro, impacting the learning curve for beginners The absence of social trading means users can’t follow and replicate the trades of experienced traders Compared to some competitors, especially IG, Plus500’s research and analysis tools are limited Algo trading and scalping are not supported, which may deter some day traders	Some inconsistent leaders to be aware of Employing an effective money management system can be difficult for beginners Leaders are not formally vetted. The ZuluGuardTM feature does mitigate this risk, however, by automatically removing a leader when detecting a trading strategy has deviated from its expected loss profile
