eToro is probably best suited for persons with basic trading and/or investment needs, not experienced traders. The latter group will probably benefit from more sophisticated tools, such as advanced charting and analysis. In addition, I believe such traders will demand tighter spreads than those available on the eToro platform

Alternatives Considered
eToro
eToro is definitely geared more toward the investor crowd with more familiar looking charts and cost basis tracking than dedicated crypto wallets or services. I use it alongside others, but definitely like the features here for making strictly investment related decisions and research on general market changes, movements, and activities.

Highly comparable. thinkorswim was a great platform and Fidelity has achieved competing against it. Ease of learning curve with training and the ability to configure exactly what the user wants to see is a huge plus. The customizations available are a major bonus and Fidelity's overall customer experience is a beacon in the marketplace.
