Plus500 is regulated in four tier-1 jurisdictions and four tier-2 jurisdictions (learn more about Trust Score).
I found Plus500's user-friendly web-based trading platform to be a solid choice for beginner traders. (Disclosure: A trading platform recommended for beginners does not make it easy to make money. Trading is risky.)
Plus500’s new +Insights analytics tool includes integration of advanced sentiment features from Trading Central and FactSet.
Plus500’s web platform and mobile app feature robust charting, with a consistent experience across devices.
Good range of 2,800 tradeable symbols, which can be traded as CFDs.
Plus500 appears to offer spreads close to the industry average on most of its major forex pairs.
CFD option contracts are available on 24 popular symbols.
The Plus500 platform offers a touch more than just basic features, making it less attractive for active traders.
Plus500 does not offer an extensive variety of educational content to learn financial markets.
Despite its integrated economic calendar, news headlines are absent from the Plus500 platform suite.
Plus500’s research content consists of just a few daily articles, and its video content lacks market updates or analysis.
