Cons
FXTM is well-regulated in the UK, but this coverage isn't global. Therefore, although negative balance protection is available, traders outside the UK might face limited options for resolving disputes. FXTM's educational resources, including its insightful e-books, have significantly improved. However, these materials are predominantly aimed at novices, which may not attract seasoned traders. FXTM provides only MetaTrader 4/5 for desktop trading, lacking a bespoke platform such as eToro's for a tailored experience. MetaTrader 4/5 is becoming outdated for active traders. FXTM specialises in CFDs and a select range of stocks but does not offer ETFs, options, or futures. This may restrict diversification for traders aiming to explore various market opportunities. FXTM imposes a $10 inactivity fee following just three months without trading. This is shorter than the period many brokers offer and might frustrate those who do not trade regularly. FXTM Invest, a user-friendly copy trading app, offered comprehensive performance statistics and risk assessments for Strategy Managers. However, it was discontinued in 2024, restricting passive traders' options.	Minimal regulatory supervision. Elevated spreads on certain assets Basic education and market research
