FXDD, a seasoned forex and CFD broker since 2002, operates under regulations in Malta, Mauritius, Peru, and Malaysia. It offers robust trading platforms, attractive ECN spreads, and dependable 24/7 customer support. The broker delivers competitive pricing and minimal latency through its Direct Market Access execution model, backed by tier 1 aggregated liquidity.	IronFX, established in 2010, is a highly regulated broker specialising in forex and CFDs. This acclaimed company provides access to over 500 markets for more than 1.5 million clients in 180 countries. Traders benefit from multiple account options with competitive rates via the MT4 platform, alongside 24/5 customer support available in 30 languages.
Pros
The broker's Trading Central integration provides daily fundamental market analysis, automated charting software, and market insights newsletters. FXDD offers easy access for beginners, requiring only a $1 minimum deposit. Traders can choose from cent, mini, micro, and demo accounts. The broker provides VPS accounts for traders seeking to execute intricate automated strategies. These accounts are ideal for both algorithmic traders and those with extensive experience in the field. MAM and PAMM accounts enable management of trader portfolios while earning commissions. The broker is overseen by multiple regulatory bodies providing investor compensation and safeguarding against negative balances. The broker provides efficient customer support in multiple languages through phone, email, and live chat, available 24/5.	In addition to MT4, the broker also provides various services such as copy trading, a VPS solution, and PAMM/MAM accounts. IronFX offers both fixed and floating spread accounts, appealing to novices and seasoned traders alike. Traders gain access to the renowned Trading Central research tool, featuring automated AI analytics and round-the-clock support. IronFX is a well-established firm regulated by respected authorities such as the CySEC, FCA, and FSCA. The broker regularly hosts trading competitions with cash rewards and provides welcome bonuses for new clients. The IronFX Academy provides outstanding educational resources for traders of all levels, from beginners to advanced.
Cons
Accounts inactive for over 90 days incur a $40 fee. This charge surpasses the $10 fee levied by many competitors. Withdrawal fees are charged for more than one transaction each month. This is especially costly for active traders. A £25 withdrawal fee applies to payments under £100, which is quite high and will affect novice and casual traders. FXDD provides approximately 150 instruments, which is limited when compared to the extensive selections available at leading brokers. The broker's market analysis section is outdated and lags behind top competitors.	It is unfortunate that the broker lacks advanced software options like MT5 or TradingView, restricting choice for seasoned traders. Commissions in zero-spread accounts begin at £13.50 per lot, almost twice the industry standard. In comparison to top brokers, IronFX provides a limited range of share CFDs.
