Our view of Plus500
Plus500 stands out for an FCA licence, 18 years of operating history, negative balance protection and a compensation scheme. The main issues to consider are an inactivity fee. 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 Plus500 may suit
Plus500 may suit traders looking for a tier-one licence behind the account.
Who should consider alternatives
Consider alternatives if you require copy trading and MetaTrader, stronger regulatory protection or account terms that are not available through your local entity.
