Pros
DIF Brokers offers a powerful and intutive proprietary trading terminal which I enjoyed using, with 40+ technical indicators and advanced graphical objects I'm thoroughly impressed with the vast product catalog of 30,000+ CFD instruments including stocks, forex, futures and indices I feel fairly confident in the broker's established reputation, long history in the financial industry, and CMVM regulatory oversight I find fees at DIF broker very transparent and fair, coming in at 0.07% for Euronext Lisbon stock CFDs	Traders can access high-quality charting platforms with MetaTrader 4 (MT4) and Trader Workstation (TWS) There are some helpful learning resources and market analysis for beginners The broker offers a competitive STP/ECN model with fast execution and deep liquidity High leverage is available up to 1:500 Direct stock trading with low brokerage fees from $0.02 per US share
Cons
I'm disappointed that the minimum deposit requirement of €2000 will price out most beginners, and the lack of any educational content is a further setback The demo account is restricted to a time limit of 15 days, which is disappointing and far lower than most of the brokers I have reviewed I think it's a bit of an oversight that the live chat customer support is only available to customers after they have registered Those looking to diversify into the digital asset industry will be disappointed that crypto trading is not available	Payment methods are limited compared to other brokers, with only card payments and wire transfers available The $20 inactivity fee is higher than some alternatives

CFD
DIF Broker offers an impressive total of 30,000+ CFD instruments, which is far more than many brokers I review. That said, I think it's a shame that there's no additional tools or resources on offer for CFD traders.	Rock Global offers low-price CFDs on forex, shares, indices and commodities. The broker charges zero-commission trading on commodities and indices, and zero-spread, commission-only trading on shares. Leverage varies by instrument with 1:200 available on indices and 1:10 on blue-chip stocks.

Forex
I was particularly impressed to see a huge range of 180 major, minor and exotic currency pairs at DIF Broker. I was able to access sensible leverage up to 1:30 and no commission fees. Average spreads are OK but not the most competitive, coming in at around 1 pip for EUR/USD and 1.1 pip on GBP/USD.	Rock Global clients can access 50+ currency pairs via CFDs with leverage up to 1:500, world class liquidity and fast execution on the MT4 or TWS platforms. The tight spreads from 0.9 with no commission are a particularly attractive feature.

Cryptocurrency
	With just five crypto CFDs and trading only available 24/5 rather than the usual 24/7, Rock Global is not the best for dedicated crypto traders. However, there are some attractive spreads on offer from 0.62 for Litecoin and 1.24 for Ethereum.
