Pros & Cons

Pros

• Spreads can be especially tight in Forex, with spreads starting from 0.5 pips on major pairs and no extra commissions.
• The € / £10 inactivity fee does not apply for the first 52 weeks, which helps traders who take breaks.
• Even though cTrader isn’t available, you can trade via MT4, MT5, TradingView, and the broker’s ActivTrader, which includes a web platform that performs well for beginners.



• Based on real-world testing, support is fast and dependable, with multilingual service available via live chat, email, and phone.

Cons

• No copy trading or social trading tools—so there’s no built-in way to automatically follow other traders, unlike platforms such as eToro and Vantage.
• Market selection is 1,000+, including Forex, commodities, indices, and ETFs, but overall coverage of asset classes is narrower—there are no stocks outside the US, UK, and Europe. For comparison, BlackBull lists 26,000+ markets.
• Education is not as extensive as some competitors (e.g., XTB and CMC Markets). There are well-produced webinars, but fewer courses and quizzes may limit a deeper or more interactive learning experience.
