If you're in the US, literally every US brokerage is better than Plus 500. Pretty sure that's an offshore brokerage. If they go insolvent, you lose everything.

Scottrade is basically a bare-bones brokerage. Literally nothing fancy. That's who I have and I want to switch. $7 in and $7 out.
If I decided to not be lazy I would move to Etrade. They're the cheapest. ~$5 last I checked. Interactive Brokers is the most sophisticated, they offer a shit ton of features. But you have to not care about fees, meaning have a lot of money.

>Plus500 currently does not accept traders from your country (United States)
haven't been on their web site in a while. Looks like they gave up on facilitating US customers.

My main negative about them was that were reviews saying that people were having trouble withdrawing, this was like 2 years ago when they still allowed US people to trade. It being an "offshore" brokerage from my perspective makes it much less secure. US brokerages have to insure the cash balance of all customers up to like 500k.

Robinhood also has commission free trades, but they do something weird with the execution of the order. I'm not sure if plus500 routes it differently than a broker that charges commission. You might be fine with them, I don't know what your other options are

Well I am not in the >US I am in Australia
Does this mean I am not affected or is the problem mainly due to not being affiliated with US traders?

As far as I know, the only issues I was seeing was with US clients of theirs. &They are an AUS native brokerage. So you might be in good hands. I don't know much about AUS brokerages.

I read something about a reoccurring $10 inactivity fee, which sounds odd for a brokerage without commission. But if you're going to keep up the trades it probably won't matter
