What are people using to trade? I tried to sign up for etoro but after uploading docs it’s just sat at pending verification. I’ve no idea if that means I can actually trade or not and seeing reviews online seem to hammer them for poor service...so, what’s recommended?
I joined etoro yesterday and got verified in a few minutes
How would you go about making an assessment as to whether your funds are safe in a app you got from Play Store/Apple Store? Asking for a friend.
1) Check who is the ultimate owner/who operates the app.
2) Check to see where they operate from, which will then direct you to checking with the appropriate regulatory body.
3) Check said company are regulated by and listed on said regulatory bodies website.
4) Check to see if there has ever been any finding against said company.
Theres probably more to it, but since they are regulated by the FCA which have very specific rules in the segregation of client / company assets, they should be relatively safe. Cash funds are protected up to 85k, and your investments are held in a segregated account with Interactive Broker.
That was my view before signing up.

T212 doesn’t seem to be getting near enough the same stick as the US brokers for manipulating the stocks, seem to be getting off very lightly.
T212 is just a broker though, do they still not have to go through someone else, if that someone else blocks the sale or limits it in some way what can 212 do about that?
