The company was established in 1977. This platform may be not as suitable for total newbie because for example it does not even allow to create a demo account for free. The broker is well-protected and checked by the financial authorities, for example SEC, NYSE, and FCA. Make an account only if you are sure, that you want to do business with them. They are not using usual cheap tricks, like bonus programs, to attract new customers
