Comment by Reviewer
"Deriv is ideal for active traders seeking alternative and unique ways to speculate on global financial markets, from multipliers and accumulator options to its bespoke synthetic indices, which mimic real market movements and are available 24/7, allowing for continuous trading opportunities regardless of market hours."	"Olymp Trade remains a good choice for beginners looking for a user-friendly bespoke platform and mobile app, plus 24/7 customer support. The $10 minimum deposit makes it easy to get started, however, the range of additional day trading tools trails competitors."
Pros
Deriv stands out with its innovative products, from multipliers and derived indices to its addition of accumulator options, providing exclusive short-term trading opportunities. Account funding is a breeze with a very low minimum deposit of $5 and a huge selection of payment options, plus Tether was added to the cashier in 2023. Although response times trail alternatives in our personal experience, Deriv offers 24/7 support and is one of the few brokers to offer WhatsApp assistance. After integrating TradingView and adding MT5 web trader, Deriv now offers a first-class selection of charting tools across desktop, web and mobile devices.	Short-term strategies are catered to with scalping signals and chart timeframes from 5 seconds Diverse range of day trading markets including commodities, cryptos and composite indices Over 10 flexible payment methods available including bank cards and Bitcoin deposits Beginner-friendly blog section with analytics, trading education and market news Minimum deposit and withdrawals of only $10, ideal for newer traders Fixed time trades (FTT) on popular markets with payouts up to 93% 24/7 customer support via the broker's hotline, email or live chat Commission discounts up to 20% for experienced investors
Cons
Apart from the MFSA in the EU, Deriv lacks top-tier regulatory credentials, reducing the level of safeguards like access to investor compensation. Although there’s a basic blog, there's little in terms of technical analysis or market reports which could help active traders identify potential opportunities. While the Academy launched in 2021 is a step in the right direction, there is limited education on advanced trading topics for seasoned traders and no live webinars to upskill new traders. Leverage up to 1:1000 will appeal to traders with a large risk appetite but frustratingly there is no ability to flex the leverage in the account area.	Weak regulatory oversight and offshore registration means traders will receive limited safeguards compared to top alternatives Only one proprietary platform available, with no access to popular third-party software such as MT4 or cTrader Commissions charged on all assets - up to 15% on standard trades and up to 10% on FTT The best conditions are available only to those who can deposit at least $500 Very limited range of charting tools and indicators on the platform Research and education trails most alternatives Limited transparency on the website

Copy Trading Platform
Deriv allows clients to replicate the positions of experienced traders through signals on DMT5. You can receive signals in real-time and decide whether to action trades in your own account. The best part is that the process of copying is fully automated, which is ideal for beginners seeking a hands-off approach. Deriv is also one of a select few cTrader brokers to support copy trading for hands-off investing opportunities.

This includes the firm’s exclusive synthetic indices which imitate real markets but run around the clock for additional trading opportunities.	You can speculate on a small range of CFDs covering popular asset classes such as forex, indices, commodities, cryptos and ETFs. Whilst prices trail the best brokers, the CFD trading platform is a compelling solution for beginners looking for simplicity, and you can get started with just $10.

Forex Trading
Deriv has expanded its range of currency pairs, now enabling clients to go long or short on a over 40 major, minor and exotic currency pairs. Spreads on EUR/USD are also competitive at 0.44 pips, especially since being slashed in 2021, while forex CFDs are available via MT5 and multipliers on the broker's beginner-friendly DTrader.	Olymp Trade offers the industry average of around 30 currency pairs. Spreads came in at 1.1 pips for EUR/USD during tests, which is not the most competitive compared to leading brands like AvaTrade (0.9 pips). That said, experienced traders can access multipliers up to x500 on major pairs.
