The Good
Great asset variety (over 13,000+) Competitive commissions on Pro and ECN accounts ($3 per lot side) High leverage offering (Up to 1:500)	Broad asset offering in their investing account (more than 10,000 assets) Friendly, smooth and simple proprietary platforms (both web and mobile) Great spreads on stocks and no commissions on investing accounts
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 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)
