Editorial summary

Plus500 operates through regulated subsidiaries in multiple jurisdictions, so the entity and products available depend on residence. The reviewed record supports more than 2,800 CFDs across seven categories on Plus500's proprietary web and mobile platform. The current displayed CFD loss warning is 76%.

Plus500 is a multi-entity group rather than one universal brokerage account. Its subsidiaries hold different licences, and the company serving a client depends on residence. A long group regulator list should therefore not be read as proof that every licence or protection applies to every account.

The reviewed product record supports more than 2,800 CFDs across forex, shares, commodities, indices, ETFs, options, and cryptocurrencies. Availability can change with the serving entity and local product rules, so the catalogue figure describes the reviewed offer rather than a guarantee for every country.

Trading takes place through Plus500's proprietary web and mobile platform. The reviewed evidence does not support MT4, MT5, cTrader, or TradingView. That integrated approach can suit users who prefer one interface, while traders dependent on third-party automation or charting platforms should look elsewhere.

The public record does not establish one global minimum deposit, demo policy, leverage cap, support-language list, or negative-balance-protection rule. Those rows now show explicit entity-dependent or unverified states instead of unexplained dashes or unsupported checks.

The current displayed warning says that 76% of retail investor accounts lose money when trading CFDs with this provider. That loss rate and the entity-specific terms are more important selection factors than the size of the product catalogue or the convenience of the mobile app.
