I have used AreaTrading to invest in stocks, commodities and cryptocurrency for 4+ years with my Financial Adviser – Jonathan Rogers.
AreaTrading is a Retail Investment Platform which means you are trading directly on the stock market. There are 1000's of stocks to choose from in addition to Commodities and Indices. Stop Loss and Leverage features work perfect if you understand what they are for. If you don't spend time learning about these things or don't listen to your Financial Adviser, you might as well go to a casino instead.

I am giving a 5-star review because the AreaTrading platform has never let me down - I can always buy and sell shares (open and close a stock market trade) very easily with the click of a button. AT does provide financial advice on how to invest so my review is based on how much money I made + the quality of their platform. With great power comes great responsibility - it is possible to make a lot of money and it is possible to lose all your money if you are not careful and listen to Advisor.

If you are looking for a trading platform that stops you from making high risk trades in volatile markets such as Russia or Crypto, AreaTrading would be closest to such a thing.
My Financial Adviser Jonathan Rogers and his help has been invaluable in explaining complicated technical aspects. He always points towards the most profitable trades possible and as well explains things like "Overnight Fees" and "Rollover" on Futures Contracts. It is also very reassuring to have a professional like him behind your back and to know that I can schedule a call with him at any time using dashboard or email.
Many thanks to both AT and Jonathan for a great trading experience.
