Review	Review
GoFX is an unregulated CFD and forex broker that covers instruments from currency, stock, index, commodity and crypto markets.

Exceptionally high leverage up to 1:3000 is offered on the standard account, while traders with the low-spread account can access leverage up to 1:1000.	AAATrade is a forex and CFD broker established in 2013 and regulated by CySEC. The STP broker offers tens of thousands of Stocks, ETFs, CFDs, securities and cryptocurrency products on the proprietary and MetaTrader platforms. Traders can benefit from standard retail accounts as well as portfolio management and advisory services.
Pros
Multi-asset trading 24/7 customer service Demo account with easy sign-up Very high leverage up to 1:3000 Micro lot trading for those on a budget Bonus incentives and loyalty program MetaTrader 4 platform and mobile app Low minimum deposit of just $1	I was glad to see commission-free trading available in the Novice account, though seasoned traders can also benefit from low commissions from 0.125% in the Experienced account There's a good range of trading platforms, including the new AAATrader™ and MT5 mobile app. I particularly appreciated the broker's in-house crypto exchange platform I feel assured the AAATrade is regulated by tier-1 authority, the CySEC and is also a member of the Investor Compensation Fund (ICF) I like that there is no minimum deposit for both the Novice and Experienced Accounts, making the broker accessible for all traders I was very impressed to find a $100,000 demo account available with free access to webinars and forex education
Cons
No additional tools or trading features No proprietary trading platform or mobile app Weak regulatory oversight No copy trading	I'm a little disappointed that fees charged on deposits, which puts the broker behind most competitors offering free deposits Crypto trading does not have the same protection or regulation as other markets, though this is industry standard

CFD
Trade CFDs on forex, indices, stocks, commodities and cryptocurrencies with leverage up to 1:3000. Swap-free trading is available, and all account types trade with competitive spreads and are commission-free except the Go Pro account, which charges a $7 round-turn commission.	During my tests, I found thousands of leveraged CFD products across forex, indices, commodities, stocks and cryptocurrencies. Commissions are competitive and I particularly enjoyed using all the free CFD trading resources available in the demo account.

Forex
Trade a small selection of 25 major and minor pairs. Spreads from zero on the pro account, micro-lot trading, and very high leverage make up for the limited range of currencies. The MetaTrader software is also a well-regarded platform for forex trading.	AAATrade offers 80+ forex pairs, including majors and minors, which is a competitive range and more than most brokers I have reviewed. I was also able to take advantage of the broker's daily technical insights with chart analysis, as well as the live economic calendar.

Cryptocurrency
Trade tight-spread CFDs on BTC, LTC, ETH, DOGE, ADA and XRP paired with USD. This may be too small a range to satisfy many crypto traders, but it is a comparable offering to similar brokers.	I was impressed with AAATrade's range of 50 cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin and Ethereum, which is more than most brokers I review. I was particularly glad to see a good mix of crypto-crypto pairs, as well as some crypto-fiat pairs against USD and EUR.
