Cons
A high $2000 minimum investment is required to use DupliTrade, which will be out of reach for many beginners There’s an above-average $50 inactivity fee after three months, though this won't impact active day traders It’s a shame that there are no rebate schemes for serious traders looking for additional perks There is no ECN account with raw spreads Traders from the US are not accepted
