Cons
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	The lack of additional charting platforms like MT4 will reduce the appeal for seasoned day traders accustomed to using third-party software There are no guaranteed stop loss orders which would be a useful risk management feature for beginners There is a $30 minimum withdrawal amount and a $5 fee, which will affect novices with low capital Traders will face currency conversion fees for account denominations other than USD There are limited contact methods aside from the in-platform live chat
