Social trading and multi-asset platform
eToro UK has been my go-to broker for three years. Their range of tradeable instruments is massive - thousands of markets across forex, indices, commodities, and shares. The risk management tools including guaranteed stop-losses have saved me multiple times. Worth every penny.
Pros: Huge market range, excellent risk tools, guaranteed stops
Cons: Premium for guaranteed stop-losses
As a full-time forex trader, I need a broker that can keep up. eToro UK delivers with institutional-grade execution, deep liquidity, and competitive pricing. Their VPS hosting option ensures my automated strategies run 24/7. Withdrawals are processed within 24 hours. Can't fault them.
Pros: Institutional execution, VPS hosting, fast withdrawals
Cons: Minimum deposit higher than some competitors
Initially attracted to eToro UK by their advertising. The headline spreads look great but in practice there are additional costs that aren't immediately obvious. I also get bombarded with promotional emails and phone calls encouraging me to deposit more. The trading itself is fine but the marketing tactics are off-putting.
Pros: Trading platform works adequately
Cons: Hidden costs, aggressive marketing practices
Started with eToro UK optimistically but my experience has been mixed. The platform itself is good and execution is fast. However, I noticed spreads widen significantly during news events and the swap rates are higher than competitors. Good for day trading, less so for holding positions overnight.
Pros: Good platform, fast execution for day trading
Cons: Wide spreads during news, high swap rates
