Comment by Reviewer
"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."	"Vantage remains an excellent option for CFD traders seeking a tightly-regulated broker with access to the reliable MetaTrader platforms. The fast sign-up process and $50 minimum deposit make it very straightforward to start day trading quickly."
Pros
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	Vantage maintains its high trust score thanks to its strong reputation and top-tier regulation from the FCA and ASIC The ECN accounts are very competitive with spreads from 0.0 pips and a $1.50 commission per side There’s an excellent suite of day trading software, including the award-winning platforms MT4 and MT5 The broker has recently made efforts to expand its suite of CFDs providing further trading opportunities Vantage caters to hands-off investors with beginner-friendly social trading via ZuluTrade & Myfxbook The low minimum deposit of $50 and zero funding fees make this broker a great choice for new traders There are no short-term strategy restrictions with hedging and scalping permitted It’s quick and easy to open a live account – taking less than 2 minutes
Cons
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	It's a shame that some clients will need to register with the offshore entity, which offers less regulatory protection A steep $10,000 deposit is needed for the best trading conditions, which include the $1.50 commission per side The average execution speeds of 100ms to 250ms are slower than alternatives based on tests Unfortunately, cryptos are only available for Australian clients

App Review
Trading212 have positioned themselves at the front of the mobile trading movement. Their platform is based on a ‘mobile-first’ model, so they prioritize this type of trader. The app offers 1800+ instruments, zero commissions and a free practise account. Download the app risk free and try it out.	Vantage offers one of the most complete trading apps we’ve used. The crisp design and slick interface makes analyzing markets and placing trades straightforward. Changing to horizontal mode offers an optimal charting view, though frustratingly it can take a few seconds for the app to respond. Fortunately, this minor drawback is outweighed by the ease of overlaying indicators and drawing tools, plus the integrated economic calendar, newsfeed, market analysis, and even FX TV.

Forex Trading
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.	Vantage offers 55+ currency pairs - above the industry average, so experienced traders can explore plenty of opportunities. Vantage's deep liquidity pool provides forex spreads from 0.0 pips in the ECN account, lower than many alternatives. There are also no commissions, deposit fees or hidden charges.
