City Index

good and reliable broker regulated by FCA

Good customer service and prompt withdrawals. Happy to continue using if traders are entered and output of errors not fault broker.
stop loss function well and spreads raissonable.First brokers in the world withdraws money is very quick

No problems, good service

Have been using CI for several months for spreadbetting, taking both swing-trade and day-trade positions on FX markets. No significant problems. Some minor pairs occasionally go to phone-only dealing but that doesn't affect me. I can only remember one occasion where the platform was inaccessible as a result of problems at their end.

I have accessed and traded my account from four countries in three continents over the last couple of months with no connection issues.

I trade with stop/limit orders only and have never had any problems with fills. FX spreads have been narrowed lately which is good.

Good customer service and prompt withdrawals. Happy to continue using them for the forseeable.

Simulated Trading

I have tried CI simulated trading. Very, very easy to operate.

However, absolutely useless as a platform for trying out a trading strategy. Extremely limited range of shares and, more importantly NO facility for placing stops.

Having queried this, their reposinse was no change envisioned at the moment. Shame.
