Pros
NordFX has strengthened its account options with Pro accounts featuring spread-only pricing and Zero accounts with spreads from 0.0 on assets like the EUR/USD The straightforward copy trading service will suit beginners or improving traders, with just a $100 minimum deposit to get started There's an impressive 25+ payment methods, including local bank transfers, with zero fees and near-instant processing There’s a good range of trading tools available, including a VPS, calculators, live signals and an economic calendar NordFX has bolstered its charting tools for advanced traders, adding MT5 to its existing MT4 integration	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
The lack of strong regulatory oversight is a major concern as clients will receive limited safeguards With only around 100 instruments, NordFX’s market coverage is uncompetitive vs most alternatives Pricing trails the cheapest brokers, notably IC Markets	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
CFDs are available on forex, stocks, indices, metals, oil and cryptos, with support on MT4 and MT5. Execution speeds are also decent, averaging 0.5 seconds, though there is also a VPS service facilitating 24/7 connectivity for algo strategies.	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.

Disappointingly, there are no exotic pairs, though traders do benefit from tight spreads from 0.0 pips and low commissions from 0.0035% per side.	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
NordFX offers 13 leveraged cryptocurrency CFDs paired with USD, including BTC, DOGE, LINK and ETH. The selection is small, although high leverage up to 1:1000 is available and there’s also a crypto base currency savings account with daily interest payouts.	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.
