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.	Pepperstone's demo accounts expire after 30 days, which may not provide sufficient time to explore various platforms and evaluate trading strategies. Pepperstone doesn't offer cTrader Copy, a favoured feature for copying trades found in the cTrader platform, which is available on other platforms such as IC Markets. However, Pepperstone has launched its own user-friendly copy trading app. Despite broadening its market range, the crypto options remain limited compared to brokers like eToro, and there is no facility for investing in actual coins.
