Comment by Reviewer
"Trade Republic is best for long-term traders looking to set up automated investments (weekly, monthly or quarterly). However, its education and research tools are lacking, support is hit and miss based on tests and only European residents can sign up with the platform."	"eToro's social trading platform leads the pack with a terrific user experience and active community chat that can help beginners find opportunities. There are also competitive fees on thousands of CFDs and real stocks, plus excellent rewards for experienced strategy providers."

Cons
The lack of demo account and threadbare education reduces its appeal to newer traders, especially compared to brokers like eToro with its $100K simulator, zero time limit and stacked academy. Despite telephone and email assistance, Trade Republic still needs to improve its customer support, with no live chat available during testing and a fairly basic help centre which may deter aspiring investors. Trade Republic lacks the comprehensive financial solutions available at alternatives, notably Revolut with limited foreign exchange services, multi-currency accounts, and premium banking solutions.	The lack of additional charting platforms like MT4 will reduce the appeal for seasoned day traders accustomed to using third-party software There are no guaranteed stop loss orders which would be a useful risk management feature for beginners There is a $30 minimum withdrawal amount and a $5 fee, which will affect novices with low capital Traders will face currency conversion fees for account denominations other than USD There are limited contact methods aside from the in-platform live chat
