Trading 212 Review 2023	TradeZero Review 2023
Review 2.3 We do not recommend Trading212. Margin requirement changes made with no notice leave traders exposed to additional risk, and a mobile app rating of just 1.1* illustrates a serious issue with user satisfaction	Review 2.6 TradeZero is #36 in our broker rankings.

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."	"We recommend TradeZero for active stock traders looking for zero commissions, powerful software and extended hours trading."
