Plus500 -demo mode excellent...

Personally I began using Plus500 software as a tool to help me teach myself (under guidance) how to trade successfully, and to this end the software is superb; helpful, intuitive and easy to use, and with the superb addition of a 'demo mode', I found myself learning quicker than I had ever anticipated.

However, once I finally built the confidence to begin to trade using my own money, I was blocked from doing so due to 'lack of experience'. Whilst this could potentially be a useful feature, other software doesn't restrict this much and doesn't prevent me from trading using my own money. I'm not sure if this is standard procedure or regulation, but it's inconvenienced me quite a bit, since, as I said, the software and system itself is incredibly good, and easy-to-use.

Despite this setback, I've given Plus500 four stars because of the simplicity and ease of use associated with the design and interface, and the inclusion of the 'demo mode', which has helped me no end.
