GBTop trading broker for retail investors also Pros- Best spreads for consumer/trader Excellent access to real time market data (paid) Excellent margin rates Great execution Innovating to progress and keep up Improved customer service Professional client services including chat service Access to overnight trading when enabled Cons - Old technology on TWS Steep learning curve UI on the web keeps logging/dropping off sometimes Not suitable for all types of traders (new starters etc) If not careful costs add up, as one would expect

AUI have been trying to open an account… I have been trying to open an account can't go past the regulatory page and when I click on continue on the bottom there is no mention of what I am doing wrong. There is no email or customer support.

CHComprehensive and user-friendly I find the trading platform - I mostly use TWS - comprehensive and easy to use. I enjoy the access to such a large number of financial markets around the world. The information provided is abundant and helps make solid trading decisions. Trading costs are shown in an honest and transparent way, so that one can optimize one's cost targets and avoid surprises.

AURecently signed up from NZ. Recently signed up from NZ. Deposits arrive very quickly, sometimes an hour, sometimes 2-3 hours. Very quick compared to local options we have in NZ. Only contact support once so far, I wasn't getting SMSs, support replied within 12h and fixed the issue. Fees are low and the web interface is easy enough to use once you get used to it. (wouldn't recommend the downloadable app for Mac though, it uses Java, which is kinda painful)

GBSolid executions and order fills Solid executions and order fills, good platform to gain direct market access. Fills are comparable to lightspeed or centerpoint securities which I’ve used mainly for 2yrs
