Comment by Reviewer
"Traders who want access to a huge range of stocks from a reputable broker with low fees should consider TD Ameritrade. On the downside, we miss access to the familiar MetaTrader 4 software."	"XTB is a great option for beginners with a user-friendly platform, no minimum deposit and low trading fees. The free education center is also a bonus, as well as the straightforward account opening process."
