eToro vs Interactive Brokers: Which One is Better for You?

Carly Foehr

The app and website always crashes whenever there is an opportunity to earn profits. What is the point having etoro anyways?? if it cant provide its users a proper platform to trade on.

Their support blames you even when it is a server side issue. I bought a stock they took the money out of my account but the position didn’t appear (it just randomly opened later) I bought it at market open.

It looks like a good website until you want to withdraw your money and need the customer support for help. I'am waiting a month now to get my money back, but it's still not on my account.

The withdrawal process is confusing. Cannot even withdrawn using bank deposit.

Dellamarie

My experience was bad with Etoro and there are many reasons. The platform stops working in case of profit and the inability to close profitable trades.When the payment is withdrawn, the account is suspended due to violation of Etoro's terms.

I have been trading with Etoro for a while now dough I have only made small deposit I find the site to be reliable, also have made withdrawal and find it reliable in that area as well. Their platform is very good don't get me wrong I just prefer the MT4 platform; I give them a 4 star not because they don't deserve a 5 star is for the lack of MT4 other than that kudos to you Etoro.

Laila Moon

Solid platform its just expensive to use. The lay out is good but opening the same trades on my etoro account compaired to my mt4 account is shocking. I always make less money with etoro . Good platform for absolute beginners.

Megan Whey

Besides low tradeing fee, anything else is horrible. The worst fact its that their app won't work on mondays when US market opens. I lost a ton because i wasn't able to reach my positions in time and they won't even care.

eToro is very user-friendly and easy to navigate. As an investor, I like how easy it is to monitor each position I open and set up my entry and target point. It's an awesome social trading platform. I find myself spending more time with this app now than other social networks and trading platforms.

I have been using it for 5 years now, high fees, but it is really easy to use, and powerful at the same time.
Only part I see they have some issues is related to the crypto market..

Arlene J

SL orders have high slippage. Also they took high comission and fee on withdrawal process which is very upsetting. There are better alternatives anyway.

Josephine

I don't know how this broker works. They manipulated and hunts stop loss even if your SL is 15-20 pips away. Please beware of their slippage, your chart will suddenly blank. Their chart also different from other live feeds.

Susan Buchier

It looks like etoro will block all the great possibility investment and manipulated stock prices. Then after that, you will loose all of your money.

John Walters

This is either a scam or they have the worst APP and customer service ever. I have been trying to withdraw my money for weeks now and they will not give it back. Stay away.

Daniel Park

Etoro has a nice easy to use platform and is good for beginners. They have a lot of useful features and the option to copy trade other traders. It's not a bad platform, but I don’t think to stayed there for too long.

Brianne Jeunh

My application for an interactive brokers account took weeks to review. After those weeks, they sent me a message indicating that they were unhappy with my proof of address and wanted another one. I provided another one several weeks ago, but it's still not reviewed.

Martin James

Support staffs sometimes provide wrong info. Mobile platform is many times laggy.

Kelly Faith

I'm simply tired of fighting access to my account. Tired of trying to make recently added additional investment account available like my initial accounts. Tired of the ineffective phone support that can't do anything but talk with you about helping you fix your account.

Aloius33

I’m really happy with interactive brokers it’s the most complete platform I have used people say it’s complicated for beginners but honestly it took me a couple minutes to set up all my charts and everything I need besides there’s no comisión being a platform that offers ibkr lite.

Kinsey

Exceptionally difficult barriers to entry as a new customer. Customer service is not well trained in solving problems for new clients. Instructions for entry are not definitive and subject to different interpretation.

Rich GG

Their low spreads and cheap commissions are features that I love the most. Good executions, they are geared towards professional traders. So not the best for people who are just starting out or trade little.

State traders

Solid execution, numerous markets, low costs, good technology. It's not an easy platform to learn but as a platform for executing my trading strategies, this is a very good broker.

SJChi

Their IB is either trading against you OR, allowing one of their large clients to. There seems to be either a delay in the data or a total disconnect with the time and sales data emanating from IB that is always to the disadvantage to my account. So you all better avoid this broker.

George

Deposits are easy. But no withdrawals/wires. I followed their directions to a tee and they still refused/declined it.

John Christ

They have so much hidden fees. Please avoid at all cost. Don't let their low commission trades full you, they will make it all up with hidden fees. My Roth IRA has been charged with crazy amount of fees. Trying them out was the worst thing I ever did.

Sierra Kehls

They took my money, defrauded my account, failed to disclose all fees. Hopefully their company will be arrested for these frauds. I am experienced investor and have never been financially violated before.

Borsz

Chaotic margin handling and extremely poor and bad customer service. Bay far the worst CS. Inexpert and bounder. Rarely receive specific answer to my questions.

ED Alabama

If they had zero stars I would have given it to them. I've been trying to get my money back been over 10 days decided to call and they told me I needed a photo ID. I believe they required this when I set my account up. Had I not called I would never had known. Plain and simple they suck stay away.

Anthony Panayo

Terrible to deal with. Website is next to useless. Can't access tax reports. Very unhelpful when ring them up. Once I was locked out and they wont reset my password.

em115

I was not even notified that my account was closed. They sold my shares without my knowledge and closed my account. To me this is theft. If I was getting charged a fee you would at least think they would send you a statement. I received nothing from this company.
