I used Plus500 for a while and honestly the platform felt too basic for serious trading. Deposits were easy, but withdrawals took longer than expected. The spreads on many CFD pairs were also wider than what other brokers offer. It feels like you end up paying more than you should on every trade.
Yes, I agree. Costs must be checked before trading.
My experience with Plus500 was very disappointing. The platform feels overly simplified, to the point where it actually limits what you can do not suitable at all for serious or active traders. Withdrawals took much longer than they should have, and customer support was slow and unhelpful every time I needed assistance. Overall, Plus500 felt unreliable and far below the standard they advertise
I tried Plus500 for a while at first it looked fine, but when I tried to withdraw profits, it turned into a nightmare. The withdrawal got stuck in verification for days, and support kept giving vague excuses. On top of that, I noticed strange price slippage during news events trades closed at much worse rates than expected. Overall, it felt like the platform worked best when I was losing, not winning.
Using Plus500 has been really frustrating — the platform lagged badly for me during a volatile session and my order got closed with heavy slippage. After I asked for a withdrawal, customer support kept delaying and asking for more verification docs again and again.
Interface is clunky. On three occasions my stop-loss was hit even though price never got close. I lost good money feels like glitch or manipulation.
I didn’t like the wide spreads on some instruments. It makes frequent trading more expensive than expected.
