Plus500 app

The Plus500 app was voted "Best Trading App" in the 2019 DayTrading.com Awards. Unlike HotForex and FxPro, Plus500 has built its platform from the ground-up. Whilst this provides Plus500 with more control over the user experience, this may disappoint traders familiar with the MetaTrader platform.

Plus500's app has consistently attracted top ratings in Apple's App Store and Google's Play Store. We were impressed with Plus500's charting tools, which support a wide range of technical indicators. You may also draw support and resistance lines on the charts, and extend these into the future, which is helpful if you are trying to make predictions.

Plus500 customer support is available on a 24/7 basis in 16 languages (its platform is available in 32 languages). The company is listed on the London Stock Exchange and authorised by the FCA (UK), CySEC (EU), the Australian and South African regulators, among others. Visit Plus500.com to download the app.
