The Good
Their “trading ideas” and “live coaches” offering is quite interesting and provides a lot of value for new traders Their proprietary platform is very simple and easy to use Their equities offering is completely commission-free	High leverage offered due to no regulatory restrictions MetaTrader 4 & 5 platforms with their own copy trading integration Low minimum deposit
The Bad
Asides from stocks and ETFs, their asset offering lacks variety Their web platform is completely impractical to use for professional trading They don’t let you enjoy your demo trading experience in peace, there is a constant pop-up asking you to fund your account at all times	Despite having financial licenses, OctaFX does not operate using them, meaning that they are an unregulated broker. Their asset offering is extremely limited (80 instruments)
