Regulated
Simplest platform
One platform,
nearly everything
on it.
One platform, no MetaTrader, and the largest instrument list in the index.
We don't link to Plus500 from your region, because it doesn't serve retail clients here through a locally regulated company. You can still read our full review. Plus500 serves UK, EU and Australian clients through local entities.
We don't link to brokers from the US or Canada, because retail CFD trading isn't offered to residents there. You can still read our full review.
We don't link to brokers from your country. You can still read our full review.
Account links appear once we can confirm your region. You can still read our full review. Plus500 serves UK, EU and Australian clients through local entities.
You open directly with the broker — we never take your documents or your money.
The largest single-account instrument list, on a proprietary platform that needs no manual.
Plus500 does one thing: its own WebTrader, on every device, with nearly three thousand instruments behind it. No MetaTrader, no API, no raw pricing. The spread is the whole cost and it’s wide, but no platform in the index is easier to learn.
How the score adds up
80.00% of retail accounts lose money — Plus500CY Ltd, EU.
More single-account coverage than anything else we index.
A public company with tier-one cover in four regions.
If you run EAs, this broker is not for you.
Around 1.3 pips on EUR/USD, and no raw account to switch to.
