Cons
Certain funding methods incur a withdrawal fee. The premium platform features incur an additional fee. Engaging in trading, aside from forex and futures, necessitates registering with affiliated brokers.	The absence of robust regulatory oversight at NordFX raises concerns. Clients face limited protection, with no negative balance safeguards and no segregated accounts. NordFX offers a limited market range, featuring just approximately 100 instruments. The selection of shares is especially sparse, with only about 20 available. While NordFX provides competitive pricing with its Zero accounts, it lags behind more cost-effective brokers such as IC Markets. Conversely, its Pro accounts come with some of the highest spreads in the market, starting from 10 pips.
