The Bad
Complicated legal regulatory framework due to being a group as it’s hard to understand which of their companies do what and on which entity does a customer trade or is being protected by regulation Scalping not allowed (120 seconds time limit for FX and commodities and 300 second limit for other CFDs) Expensive inactivity fee, $60 monthly after 90 days of inactivity.	Despite presenting a great customisable platform, it still feels messy and not intuitive to use Commissions are expensive when compared to similar competitors
