Stock Broker Uptime Monitor for EU Clients

Updated as of 2021.02.18. 11 am GMT

Not all brokers are available globally. This means that most of the US brokers detailed above are not available for EU residents. To tackle this, we have created another table below, listing EU brokers that may have experienced outages or service lags, or suspended retail trading of recently popular stocks such as GME, BB, AMC, etc. The list does not contain all affected brokers from our selection, as we focused on the ones that received the most attention. As with US brokers, we'll try to keep this table updated too, by closely monitoring:

• whether a broker had an outage in the last seven days
• whether a broker had suspended retail trading on popular stocks

Please be aware that trading on margin and other leveraged trading strategies could be extremely risky in times of high market volatility. Sharp price moves could quickly wipe out your invested capital.

As of now, these brokers had issues in the past 7 days:

* Account opening is suspended at the moment

** Australian, and UK clients can't open share accounts

Below these brokers have not experienced any issues between the end of January and mid-February. If you're looking for alternative stockbrokers, feel free to check any of the following:

We have also collected a few alternative CFD brokers in the following table, feel free to check them out as well.

*At XTB and Plus500, you cannot trade GameStop CFDs as of writing, however, you are allowed to trade other recently popular names.
