Comment by Reviewer
"Trading212 falls short of the standards we expect from online brokers. A subpar mobile trading app and questionable changes to margin requirements have eroded user confidence. There are better alternatives for day traders."	"Fidelity is a great match for long-term investors who want an affordable platform to build their pension or investment portfolios. The SEC and FCA oversight are also good signs that the brokerage is regulated and trustworthy."
