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	The web platform delivers a fantastic user experience with advanced charting tools for day trading and customizable features, catering to both beginners and experienced traders. MT4 (but not MT5) is also supported. CMC offers excellent pricing, including tight spreads and low trading fees for all but stock CFDs. The Alpha and Price+ schemes also offer perks for active traders with up to 40% discounts on spreads. CMC Markets is heavily regulated by reputable financial authorities and maintains its stellar reputation, helping to ensure a secure and trustworthy trading environment. The brokerage continues to stand out with its wide range of value-add resources, including pattern recognition scanners, webinars, tutorials, news feeds, and research from respected sources like Morningstar.
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	Despite improvements, the web platform still requires enhancements to make it as intuitive to trade on as software from rivals like IG. While CMC offers an above-average suite of assets, there is no support for trading real stocks and UK clients can’t trade cryptocurrencies. Trading stock CFDs incurs a relatively high commission, especially compared to the cheapest brokers like IC Markets. An inactivity fee of $10 per month is applied after 12 months of inactivity, which may deter casual investors. The CMC Markets app offers the complete trading package but the design and user experience trails category leaders like eToro.
