Login Problem Resolution
The technician sorting out why I could not login was clear in his instructions. Helpful in walking me through processes, which led to a positive outcome.

Try different broker
*** City Index in my private ranking is the worst broker on the market. ***
Here is what to expect from his broker.
The mobile app has bugs and it crashes. The issue was reported multiple times and was only partially fixed.
Web Platform during the last two months:
* Crashed 5 times (five times!), during each crash the platform was unavailable or the charts did not work.* Crash number 4 - was a very special one, the platform and mobile app were unavailable for hours.
*** City Index does _not_ cover the losses that occurred during the platform crashes. ***
During a recent platform upgrade, they introduced bugs. They did not test their platform properly before it was given to the traders, as a result, their 2h,4h,8h, and weekly charts showed incorrect candles. It took them weeks to resolve it after multiple interventions from my side. In general, they have very low standards in terms of software testing.
*** They are for 40 years on the market, but it does not translate to a high-quality platform or good customer service. ***
Customer Service / Support - every time you report the issue they will suggest that the issue is on your end, that's why make sure you take pictures and videos if any issue occurs during the trading. They will do everything to deny any issue on their side.
Their trading platform is basic (Trading View out of the box). UX experience is not great. - there is room for improvement and there are missing functionalities (trading from the chart, trailing stop - limited configuration).
Volume - this broker does not offer volume data. If you use any indicators that need volume data then here all the main indicators won't work.
Account Manager - won't help you to resolve any of your queries.
City Index said: "... We work hard to make every customer experience enjoyable, and we are sorry we have not been able to meet your expectations this time. Although we take great pride in our products and services, we understand that there is always room for improvement."
This is a meaningless statement written by their PR/Marketing department and has nothing to do with reality. You will be ignored. Nothing is seamless. They are unprofessional. This is the most technologically illiterate broker on the market. Expect the never-ending saga of platform bugs and malfunctions.
If you trade NASDAQ, their fees (spread) are higher than some other brokers (3 points outside trading hours, you can find better prices).
Execution is not great, especially during busy periods. It means when you try to open a position during busy trading hours you will have to click multiple times the buy/sell button to open a position and you may end up in a very different place than intended.
This broker is suitable only for people who mastered their trading skills and looking for extra challenges. Someone who needs extra adrenaline. If you are ok with unexpected platform crashes, platform bugs, and poor support this is a perfect broker for you.
All other people please try a different broker. The issues mentioned above put your capital at risk.
Their compliance team - when they responded to my complaint they showed that reading is not their strongest skill. They responded to a query that was not even covered by my original email.
There are no good intentions in this department.

Why I give 3 stars
I didn't get the answer I needed on why I am not able to make a fund deposit to my account. Although the chat assistant, Krtin, did all he could to assist, my query was left unanswered. Instead, I was asked to forward some images to the Finance department to perform some manual entries to try and resolve my issue. This is a 1 star deduction for me. The other 1 star deduction is for the manner in which the chat went about. I wasn't sure if Krtin was still at the other end of the line on a few occasions when I just needed a yes or no reply. I had to enter "Hello" (are you there?) to get some inkling that my chat was listened to. Would be great to keep in mind that folks on this side won't know what is going on over at the other side, even though our queries are tended to.

We understand and truly apologise for the deposit issues you have been experiencing with your account. Our Customer Service representatives work vigorously to ensure all our clients’ trading account questions are answered thoroughly and in a timely manner. However, we recognize that there are always ways in which we can improve and optimize customer experience. To this end, we are continuously training our staff to provide our customers with a more superior customer experience than they expect.
City Index strives to provide our clients with the most quick and easy trading experiences. While we strive to make our deposit process as seamless as possible, we must balance this with our duty as a regulated firm to verify details under the “Know Your Customer” (KYC) and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) guidelines set forth by our regulator. We are required to request this information going forward to show that you are the sole owner of the bank account being used to fund your trading account.

Individual stocks can take several minutes to open
I'm only using a demo account and I don't claim to be all that experienced. I just can't understand why it can sometimes take several minutes after the opening time of the market (eg 2.30pm UK time for the US) for the stock to be available to trade on Citi Index. It happens on my phone app and on their web login.
