Comment by Reviewer
"Deriv.com will suit day traders looking to make fast-paced trades using CFDs and multipliers with high leverage up to 1:1000. The broker is also the industry leader in synthetic indices, which simulate real market movements and are available around the clock. "	"AAAFx is best for forex traders seeking ECN conditions with spreads from zero and MetaTrader access. It’s also suitable for social traders with ZuluTrade support. However, AAAFx seriously falls short for newer traders with minimal research features and no educational tools."
Pros
Traders can use multipliers between 1 and 30, with take profit, stop loss and deal cancellation parameters There's a good range of fast deposit and withdrawal methods with zero payment fees and low minimum deposits The free demo account is ideal for practicing short-term trading strategies and no registration is required Deriv continues to offer fast and reliable 24/7 support and the WhatsApp service is particularly convenient Beginners and experienced day traders can access a good range of 20+ technical indicators in Deriv Trader vs 30+ in MT5 Deriv bolstered its short-term trading opportunities in 2024 with accumulator options on simulated indices featuring up to 5% growth rates The low $5 minimum initial deposit suits those on a lower budget	There are sophisticated MT4 and MT5 charting platforms for advanced day traders, featuring a huge selection of indicators, drawing tools, chart types, and analysis features. You get fast execution speeds from 10 milliseconds with no restrictions on strategies, creating a flexible environment for day traders. AAAFx supports a wide range of payment methods with near-instant funding and zero transfer fees, ensuring convenient deposits. Fast and dependable 24/5 support is available following hands-on testing across live chat, telephone and email. The minimum deposit is low and opening an account is fast, taking less than 5 minutes.
Cons
There are limited copy trading tools and analysis features compared to alternatives like IQ Cent The range of 100+ assets trails some competitors such as Quotex which offers 400+ There's no loyalty program or rebate scheme for high volume traders	By discontinuing ActTrader and lacking a proprietary platform, traders are limited to MetaTrader, which is outdated and less ideal for newcomers. You can’t make deposits and manage your AAAFx account through an app, meaning you have to sign in to the website, dampening the mobile trading experience. The selection of currencies is strong but AAAFx lacks depth in its stocks, indices, commodities and cryptos, limiting the range of trading opportunities. There are no proprietary educational tools, relying on ZuluTrade, making AAAFx less attractive to beginners compared to brokers like eToro.

App Review
Deriv GO shines with its straightforward app design and diverse trading opportunities, from traditional markets to custom indices that simulate real-world markets and offer 24-hour trading, including on weekends. The in-app chat assistance, which can’t be found at many alternatives, is also fast and reliable, providing an important layer of support for new users.	AAAFx does not offer its own app, but you can trade forex, stocks, indices, commodities and crypto on the MT4 and MT5 platforms. The apps offer a reliable environment for experienced mobile traders with robust charting tools. However, clients of AAAFx can’t manage their accounts, so you still have to log into the client area online to make deposits and withdrawals, making for a less complete mobile trading experience.

Copy Trading Platform
Deriv allows clients to replicate the positions of experienced traders through signals on DMT5. You can receive signals in real-time and decide whether to action trades in your own account. The best part is that the process of copying is fully automated, which is ideal for beginners seeking a hands-off approach.	AAAFx offers automated copy trading through ZuluTrade, one of the largest social investment networks globally. More than 90,000 strategy providers can be followed with helpful performance metrics and graphs to help you find a trader that matches your objectives and risk tolerance. However, with no formal vetting process, manually weeding out traders can be time-consuming.

Spreads on EUR/USD are competitive at 0.5 pips, only marginally trailing the 0.4-pip spreads at alternatives like Alpari. Forex CFDs are available via MT5 and multipliers on the broker's beginner-friendly DTrader.	AAAFx shines for its forex offering with over 70 currency pairs and spreads from 0.1 pips and low commissions from $0.99.

Cryptocurrency
Deriv.com continues to offer a strong selection of 30+ crypto pairs - this is more than double the range offered at our leading competitor, IQ Cent. 1:2 leverage is also available so you can magnify potential returns, and there are no commissions which is ideal for newer day traders.	AAAFx provides just 6 crypto CFDs, covering BTC and other major digital currencies paired with USD. Yet despite competitive and transparent spreads, there are no opportunities on up-and-coming digital currencies.
