Unlike many other brokers, who support MetaTrader 4, 5 or cTrader, Plus500 has designed its platform in-house. Whilst this may disappoint some investors accustomed to trading through MetaTrader or cTrader, this has allowed Plus500 to create a platform with bespoke trading and risk management features. These include:
- Orders: lock in your profits with a 'Close at Profit' order, or cap your potential losses with a 'Close at Loss' order. You may add these risk management tools across new and existing trades.
- Guaranteed Stop: put an absolute limit on any potential losses with a guaranteed stop order. If an instrument's price moves against you, your position will automatically be closed at the set price, with no slippage.
- Traders' sentiment: in the form of a percentage breakdown of buys and sells for each instrument. This is akin to 'depth of market' information usually available to institutional investors.
- Calendars: easily access a calendar of upcoming economic releases and corporate actions to help you plan ahead.
You may trade online through your browser, or download Plus500's award-winning app to your iOS or Android device. Plus500's app has drawn consistently high ratings ever since we started covering its service. To download the app and open a live or demo account, visit Plus500's website through this page.
As CFDs are complex financial products, the Plus500 platform is not suitable for beginners or inexperienced traders.
