The platform, alongside its mobile app and copy trading features, is intuitive and caters to novice and occasional traders. Additionally, its market analysis tools and trading contests offer valuable avenues for honing trading skills.

This acclaimed company provides access to over 500 markets for more than 1.5 million clients in 180 countries. Traders benefit from multiple account options with competitive rates via the MT4 platform, alongside 24/5 customer support available in 30 languages.
Pros
Videforex has expanded its offerings, allowing traders to access popular cryptocurrencies like TON, ARB, PEPE, and SHIB, leading tech stocks such as Tesla, Meta, Nvidia, and Amazon, and a more varied FX portfolio including THB, ZAR, and MXN. Videforex is among the select brokers offering round-the-clock multilingual video support, ensuring thorough assistance for active traders. Traders can achieve up to 98% returns on over 100 assets through the broker's binary options, aligning with competitors such as IQCent. Videforex frequently holds trading contests, providing both novice and seasoned traders with practice opportunities and cash prizes. Traders can participate with position sizes starting as low as 1 cent.	In addition to MT4, the broker also provides various services such as copy trading, a VPS solution, and PAMM/MAM accounts. IronFX offers both fixed and floating spread accounts, appealing to novices and seasoned traders alike. Traders gain access to the renowned Trading Central research tool, featuring automated AI analytics and round-the-clock support. IronFX is a well-established firm regulated by respected authorities such as the CySEC, FCA, and FSCA. The broker regularly hosts trading competitions with cash rewards and provides welcome bonuses for new clients. The IronFX Academy provides outstanding educational resources for traders of all levels, from beginners to advanced.
Cons
Videforex is not licensed by a reputable regulator, leaving traders with minimal or no protection, such as segregated client accounts. Based on recent tests, the client terminal requires enhancements, as its widgets occasionally become slow and unresponsive, which could affect traders' experience. The lack of educational resources is a significant disadvantage for novice traders. In contrast, leading firms offer blogs, videos, and live trading sessions.	It is unfortunate that the broker lacks advanced software options like MT5 or TradingView, restricting choice for seasoned traders. Commissions in zero-spread accounts begin at £13.50 per lot, almost twice the industry standard. In comparison to top brokers, IronFX provides a limited range of share CFDs.
