Hedging and scalping strategies are fully permitted without any short-term restrictions. Opening a live account is both straightforward and swift, requiring under 5 minutes to complete.	FXOpen integrated TradingView in 2022 and enhanced its TickTrader platform in 2024. This upgrade delivers Level 2 pricing, over 1,200 trading instruments, and sophisticated order options. The platform appeals to both seasoned and high-frequency traders. FXOpen significantly cut FX spreads by over 40% in 2022. In 2023, they launched commission-free index trading.

Cons
It's unfortunate that some clients must register with the offshore firm, which provides reduced regulatory safeguards. To access optimal trading conditions, a substantial deposit of $10,000 is required. This includes a commission of $1.50 per transaction per side. Based on tests, average execution speeds of 100ms to 250ms are slower compared to other options. Regrettably, cryptocurrencies are accessible solely to clients in Australia.	Though FXOpen remains a trusted broker with authorizations from the FCA and CySEC, it lost its ASIC license in 2024 due to 'serious concerns.' Consequently, it no longer accepts traders from Australia. FXOpen's educational resources are quite limited, with a scarcity of courses and webinars commonly available at brokers such as IG. This deficiency may deter novice traders looking to enhance their understanding. Even with an expanded asset portfolio, FXOpen provides a more limited selection of global stocks, commodities, and cryptocurrencies compared to the leading firm BlackBull. This results in fewer diverse trading opportunities for traders.
