Can’t open app

App will not open, shame as it would be great if it worked as the platform is very good.

Impossible to sign in

The sign-in process is convoluted and despite a number of attempts to set up an account I still cannot set log into this account. I receive multiple MFA texts for one sign -in attempt.

Horrible

I ran into several bugs and interface issues. This is probably the worst trading platform I have ever used. Customer service was horrible, they didn’t even know the product. Steer clear.
