eToro
- Trader copying.
- As a user of eToro you get access to the "Research"
page for each stock. There you can find useful information like:
Analyst Consensus & Price Target
Hedge Fund Activity in the last quarter (buys/sells)
Insider Transactions in the last quarter with names, dates and quantities of buys or sells. - While the user interface is simple and looks easy, you might have difficulties due to the way information is arragned in different screens.
The columns in the various lists are not the ones you would need. E.g. at the pending orders you do not see the total amount of the order (price X quantity). - Pay attention to the buy/sell spread.
- Withdrawals can be slow.
- You can transfer cryptocurrency from the eToro trading platform only to your eToro Money crypto wallet, which is a mobile app available on both iOS and Android devices. Any crypto you transfer from the eToro platform to your wallet cannot be transferred back to the eToro platform. It can take up to five business days for eToro to process the transfer request. Etoro may ask you for further documents in some cases. From the moment that the request is processed, it can also take additional time for the coins to appear in the wallet. Furthermore, there may be further delays in the execution of transfer requests. Requests are not processed on weekends and/or national holidays. Once your crypto is transferred to your eToro Money crypto wallet, you can convert it to another crypto or send it elsewhere.
- To stake ETH, you need to hold ETH in your eToro Money crypto wallet. Transfer your ETH from your eToro investment account to your eToro Money crypto ETH wallet on your mobile, and follow the steps to stake the required amount of ETH.

Interactive brokers
Hungary for EU customers.
- Many order types (trail stop, limit trail stop, profit taker, etc).
- Attached orders (are automatically placed after their "master" order is executed).
- Reporting misses basic features. Cannot see what happened in your cash account every day in a period of time. You can see only aggregated data.
- Poor user support providing only standard replies and not looking at your problem.
Degiro

- You can place a limit order (buy at specific price) only via the Web platform of Gemini. Not via the Gemini App. From the Gemini app you can only buy/sell at the current market price.
- EU customers have to trade Crypto against EUR or GBP. So you cannot place an order for at specific USD rate. This is not convenient because all the news that you follow are for USD prices.
- Gemini's bank account for EU customers is in Switzerland. It might be an issue funding the account from some EU countries.
- While Gemini has many crypto tokens, you can use your money account balance to buy only Bitcoin and Ethereum. Other crypto tokens are listed as "Crypto pairs".
