Comment by Reviewer
"Blueberry Markets is a good option for traders familiar with MetaTrader and beginners looking to copy trade on popular financial markets."	"IC Markets offers superior pricing, exceptionally fast execution and seamless deposits.

Pros
Multiple payment methods offered making the broker accessible to global traders MetaTrader 4 integration through desktop software, web trader and mobile app Free demo account for prospective users Good execution speed reducing slippage Copy trading through DupliTrade Low minimum deposit of $100 24/7 customer support Forex VPS available	IC Markets offers among the tightest spreads in the industry, with 0.0-pip spreads on major currency pairs, making it especially cost-effective for day traders. As a tightly regulated and widely respected broker, IC Markets prioritizes client security and transparency, helping to ensure a reliable trading experience globally. IC Markets offers fast and dependable 24/5 support based on firsthand experience, particularly when it comes to accounts and funding issues. You have access to over 2,250 CFDs across various markets, including forex, commodities, indices, stocks, bonds, and cryptocurrencies, allowing for diversified trading strategies.
Cons
No proprietary trading app Limited bonuses for new traders Narrow selection of CFDs in some asset classes Weak regulatory oversight through the VFSC for global clients	While IC Markets offers a selection of metals and cryptos for trading via CFDs, the range is not as extensive as brokers like eToro, limiting opportunities for traders interested in these asset classes. The breadth and depth of tutorials, webinars and educational resources still need work, trailing alternatives like CMC Markets and reducing its suitability for beginners. There are fees for certain withdrawal methods, including a $20 wire charge, which can eat into profits, especially for frequent withdrawals. Despite four industry-leading third-party platforms, there is no proprietary software or trading app built with new traders in mind. Interest isn't paid on unused cash, an increasingly popular feature found at alternatives like Interactive Brokers.

Cryptocurrency
Invest in a modest selection of popular digital currencies including Bitcoin with no hidden fees. However, we have seen many other firms provide access to hundreds of different tokens, so it isn't best for serious crypto investors.	IC Markets offers 20+ cryptocurrencies which are tradable via CFDs, including lesser-known tokens such as Avalanche, Kusama and Uniswap. Commission-free trading is available, and experienced crypto traders can access high leverage up to 1:200 in the MetaTrader platforms.
