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.	Plus500's omission of MetaTrader and cTrader charting tools may deter seasoned traders seeking familiar platforms. Educational resources are not as extensive as leading brokers such as eToro, which affects beginners' ability to learn quickly. The lack of social trading features prevents users from copying trades made by seasoned traders. Compared to competitors like IG, Plus500 offers limited research and analysis tools. Algorithmic trading and scalping are not available, potentially deterring certain traders.
