The Good

The Bad
High minimum deposits (From $500 to $25,000) for their various account types Extremely high spreads when compared to similar brokers Low asset offering with poor categorisation Subpar regulatory framework Only MT5 platform is offered	Despite both platforms being beautiful, they are gamified for engagement. Clicking on the buy button on mobile platform will trigger a random order without asking for confirmation Asides from stocks, their asset offering lacks variety Very high forex spreads (1.4 Pips on EUR/USD)
