Its suitability depends on the legal entity available in your country, the protection attached to that entity and whether its pricing and platform range match how you intend to trade.
Who City Index may suit
City Index may suit traders looking for a tier-one licence behind the account, a small first deposit, automated strategies and MetaTrader.
