I deposited a small amount just to understand how it works. The platform is very intuitive, and I got used to everything pretty quickly.

I like to play the downside when the market is falling. Some brokers often write “no shares available for shorting” for specific securities. I haven't encountered this here yet; there is enough liquidity even for second-tier stocks.
The platform allows you to open opposite positions on a single instrument. You can simultaneously hold both long and short positions on the euro if that is your strategy. This is not allowed everywhere; often, such positions are locked.
I turned on the one-click trading feature. It's a must-have for scalping. Just click on the price in the order book and the order is already in progress. No extra confirmations or pop-ups.
Verification took some effort. I uploaded a photo of my license, but it was slightly blurry. The system rejected it. I had to redo it in high quality. On the one hand, it was annoying, but on the other, it's clear that security isn't just for show.
It used to be annoying when you clicked a button and got a message saying “the price has changed” and offering you a new one. That hardly ever happens here. The order goes to the market at the price I see at the moment I click. The platform has a powerful engine.
I keep my transaction log in Excel so I can see where I'm going wrong. There's a handy button for exporting your transaction history directly to a spreadsheet. No need to copy each line separately - just download the file and analyze your mistakes at your leisure.
I sent money via bank transfer. I thought it would take a long time, but it was credited on the same day. Next time I'll try using a card, they say it's instant.
Recently, I switched to indices, specifically the FTSE 100. The conditions for them are quite comfortable. The platform works stably even when the market is highly volatile and everything is “flying.” I haven't encountered any requotes (order cancellations) yet.
I came here for altcoins that regular bank brokers don't offer. Here, besides Bitcoin and Ether, there is plenty to choose from. Orders are executed quickly, and the price doesn't have time to “fly away” while you press the buy button.
I liked that they didn't make me wait weeks for identity verification. I uploaded a scan of my passport and a utility bill (to confirm my address), and within a couple of hours, my account was fully active. These guys work quickly.
