Their asset offering is extremely limited (80 instruments)	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
