Robinhood Delay UK App Launch Due To Controversy

Robinhood Delay UK App Launch Due To Controversy

Many novice traders in the UK were looking forward to the UK launch of Robinhood, an investment app that claims to be democratising finance for millions of traders. However, after facing pressure from US authorities and politicians, the app has announced it will be delaying its UK launch.

Trading Apps

The main function of the Robinhood app, which has over 13 million US users, is to allow new traders to buy and sell financial products without depositing a minimum sum or paying commission.

The current waiting list for the app in the UK has over 250,000 people, many of whom were looking forward to the app being launched later this year.

Individuals on the waiting list were greeted this week with a message from Robinhood explaining the app launch would be delayed.

The email read, “We’re saddened to share that we’ve made the difficult decision to postpone our UK launch indefinitely… We’ll be closing our waitlist and taking down our UK website shortly.

The world has changed a lot over the past several months and we’re adapting with it.”

Media Focus

The app, currently valued at $8.6bn, received a lot of media and political attention after a 20-year-old US user, student Alex Kearns, killed himself in June.

Kearns is believed to have killed himself due to mistakenly believing he had lost $730,000 (£575,000) on the app.

Kearns, unfortunately, seemed to misunderstand the app, due to lack of trading knowledge as his account was actually up $16,000 at the time of his death.

Robinhood has received approval from the FCA (Financial Conduct Authority) and was expected to launch in Spring 2020.

Although the launch delay is ‘indefinite’, there is hope for UK residents who plan to use the app as Robinhood also stated in their email;

“although our global expansion plans are on hold for now, we will continue our work to democratise finance for all and we look forward to the day when we can bring this mission to the UK.”

Existing Robinhood employees in the UK are expected to move to the US, while a team of skeleton employees will remain in the UK under the guidance of Wander Rutgers, former TransferWise executive.

Here is a short summary of why we think each broker belongs in this top list:

  1. FOREX.com - Running alongside the MT4 and Web Trader platforms, the FOREX.com app offers full trading capabilities on a user-friendly, compact platform. Integrated news and analysis, plus real time trade alerts, are two mobile specific features that set this app above the crowd. Additionally, it beats out MT4 when it comes to mobile charting tools, with over 80 indicators and 11 chart types, not to mention a slicker design that we love.
  2. Interactive Brokers - The IBKR Mobile app, available on both iOS and Android devices, makes your phone a powerful gateway to your IBKR accounts, offering you the freedom to keep an eye on portfolios, initiate trades, and dive into real-time quotes and charts, all while managing your account activities on the fly. This app stands out for its intuitive design, making it especially welcoming for those just starting their trading journey, providing a smoother and more accessible experience than the more complex TWS platform.
  3. IG - IG offers a superb all-round trading app. One of the pioneers of mobile trading, the application has been developed and refined over many years, meaning it is now among the best trading apps. Quick response, user-friendly layout, access to full charting and a stable and reliable application. It also offers guaranteed stops – an important risk management tool not available on many apps we’ve tested.
  4. Pocket Option - Pocket Option delivers an excellent mobile trading experience directly through mobile and tablet browsers, without needing a native app. You can easily customize charts using the settings at the top while placing trades in one click is a breeze using the ‘higher’ and ‘lower’ buttons at the bottom of the screen. The interface also adapts seamlessly to horizontal viewing, mirroring the desktop layout for a consistent user experience.
  5. IQCent - IQCent offers mobile trading directly through major browsers with an intuitive design that we love. You can navigate your account, browse assets and trade binaries in a few clicks. Straightforward access to the copy trading feature at the bottom is also a bonus, alongside the interactive charts which you can pinch to zoom.
  6. RedMars - RedMars doesn’t offer a proprietary platform, which might be a consideration for beginners. The only choice is MetaTrader 5 (MT5), available for desktop, web, and mobile. The lack of support for MT4, cTrader, or TradingView is disappointing, with MT4 easier to use than MT5, cTrader sporting a more user-friendly interface, and TradingView proving excellent due to its advanced charting and community-sourced indicators.
  7. OANDA US - OANDA’s app stands out for its deeply customizable interface, ensuring you can tailor every aspect of the trading experience to your strategy, from setting custom notifications to adjusting chart sizes and overlays. This level of personalization, combined with the ability to quickly react to market changes, manage risk, and stay informed with alerts on significant market events, makes it a category leader.
  8. CloseOption - CloseOption’s TradeRoom stands out as a fantastic option for beginners, with its streamlined design minimizing the learning curve. It’s super easy to place short-term trades from 5 seconds with basic charting tools at your disposal. Tutorials and frequent updates with video demonstrations also enhance the experience, while weekly contests are available to skilled traders on the go.
  9. Videforex - Videforex stands out with its comprehensive and user-friendly mobile trading solution, offering short-term binaries across a wide range of assets. The web-accessible application is fast, intuitive, and perfect for beginners, complete with a helpful guide upon first use. Videforex’s ongoing enhancements, including the addition of candlestick charts for technical analysis, further enrich the user experience.
  10. Plexytrade - Rather than developing its own app, Plexytrade offers its 100+ instruments on the MT4 and MT5 mobile platforms. While MetaTrader is favored by experienced traders, the absence of a proprietary trading app results in a steep learning curve for beginners. It also means deposits, withdrawals and account management have to be completed through the Plexytrade website, leading to a less complete mobile trading experience.

Pros

Cons

  • IBKR provides a wide range of research tools, but their distribution across trading platforms and the web-based 'Account Management' page lacks consistency, leading to a confusing user experience.
  • You can only have one active session per account, so you can’t have your desktop program and mobile app running simultaneously, making for a sometimes frustrating trading experience.
  • Support can be slow and frustrating based on tests, so you might find it challenging to reach customer service representatives promptly or encounter delays in resolving issues.

"Plexytrade is a newcomer in the brokerage scene with attention-grabbing features like 1:2000 leverage, zero spreads on select instruments and fast execution speeds of less than 46 milliseconds. However, the absence of regulation is a significant concern, while the non-existent research and educational tools place it far behind industry frontrunners."

Pros

  • There are various VPS packages starting from $50 per month, but they become complimentary once specific deposit thresholds are reached.
  • Despite lacking regulation, Plexytrade provides negative balance protection and reinforces safety protocols by holding client funds in segregated accounts.
  • Plexytrade offers among the highest leverage we’ve seen, up to 1:2000, catering to advanced traders willing to forego regulatory protections.

Cons

  • Deposits and withdrawals are exclusively facilitated through cryptocurrencies, as Plexytrade does not support bank cards, bank wire transfers, or e-wallets.
  • There are no research and educational materials, falling short of alternatives like IG, while access to the economic calendar is restricted to clients with balances of $500.
  • Plexytrade lacks regulation in major jurisdictions, significantly increasing the risks of opening an account and depositing funds.
