Comment by Reviewer
"Admirals is a good pick for novice-to-intermediate traders that want a trustworthy, regulated broker with access to a wide range of markets with tight spreads and no commission." "After exploring the platform myself, I think Hugo's Way is going to be best for new or experienced MT4 traders who are comfortable with Bitcoin deposits and withdrawals. That said, I am hesitant about the lack of robust regulatory oversight."
Pros

  • The low minimum deposit, fractional shares and easy three-step account registration process will appeal to beginners
  • I was glad to see the MT4 platform with flexible desktop, web and mobile access, plus an unlimited demo account for those who want to practice strategies continuously
  • Experienced traders will appreciate the generous leverage up to 1:500 with no trading restrictions on strategies
  • I'm pleased with the low minimum deposit requirement of $10 (equivalent in BTC), which ideal for novice investors or those on a budget

Cons
  • Monthly inactivity fee
  • US traders not accepted
  • The demo account expires after 30 days
  • I would urge traders to be cautious since Hugo's Way is an unregulated brand, registered offshore in the Seychelles
  • I find the overall market offering is very uncompetitive compared to other brands, with only 160+ assets on offer
  • There are also no additional trading tools such as VPS or copy trading for those looking to broaden their trading experience
  • It's a shame that deposits can only be made via Bitcoin or credit/debit card with higher minimum deposit requirements for using card

The MetaTrader 4 software was also designed for online forex trading. Hugo's Way offers a good selection of 50+ major, minor and crosses with leverage up to 1:500 on the MT4 terminal. I was glad to see micro lot (0.01) trading available, as well as hedging, scalping and news trading strategies.
