Comment by Reviewer
"After opening an account, I think Equiti is a pretty good option for experienced traders looking for ECN pricing with high leverage rates on the feature-rich MT5 platform. That said, the offshore regulation doesn't give me a great deal of confidence and the lack of educational tools is frustrating."	"AvaTrade offers the full package for aspiring traders. There is powerful trading software, reliable execution, top-tier education and fast account opening with a low minimum deposit."
Pros
I'm pleased that there's a strong range of accessible payment methods, including bank wire, cards, e-wallets and cryptos The free demo with unlimited usage is a game-changer for those who want to continuously test their strategies DeFi enthusiasts can speculate on an impressive range of 80+ cryptocurrency CFD products I appreciate the 24/6 customer support available in 6 languages, via email and live chat High leverage rates of 1:2000 are on offer for experienced margin traders	WebTrader is well-suited to beginners and features a strong suite of technical analysis tools, market research and integrated education The broker’s unique risk management tool, AvaProtect, protects against losses up to $1 million and is easy to activate in the platform Automated trading is supported through MetaTrader Expert Advisors (EAs), as well as the AvaSocial and DupliTrade tools There's a great range of fee-free deposit methods, including bank wire, credit cards and popular e-wallets like Skrill The broker offers reliable 24/5 multilingual customer support with fast response times during testing AvaTrade is a heavily regulated and trustworthy broker with licenses from the ASIC, CySEC and more Traders can access stable spreads and zero commissions with no hidden fees
Cons
I think retail clients should look elsewhere for robust regulatory oversight since Equiti's main brokerage branch is regulated offshore Equiti falls short in terms of educational material and extra tools, with one of the most basic offerings I have seen I'm disappointed that bank transfer and e-wallet withdrawals are subject to a fee of 1% up to $30	A high $2000 minimum investment is required to use DupliTrade, which will be out of reach for many beginners There’s a steep $50 inactivity fee after three months, which is higher than the industry average It’s a shame that there are no rebate schemes for active traders looking for additional perks There is no ECN account with raw spreads Traders from the US are not accepted

Forex Trading
During my testing, I uncovered nearly 70 foreign exchange CFDs - not a bad line-up compared to other brokers I review. The broker’s STP execution model means that execution times for me are generally quite low and spreads are competitive, starting from 0.0 pips.	AvaTrade offers 50+ currency pairs with competitive spreads from 0.9 pips and zero commissions. You can trade majors, minors and exotics around the clock on industry-leading platforms, including MT4 and MT5. Traders can also access beginner-friendly trading tools and comprehensive forex education.

Cryptocurrency
I’m pretty happy with Equiti’s 1:10 leverage and spreads from $5 on popular crypto pairs like BTCUSD. Savvy clients can also utilize the broker's signals and market news to get crypto trade ideas and keep abreast of industry developments.	Regulated in five continents, AvaTrade offers a secure way to access crypto markets. There's a great range of digital currencies including Bitcoin, Ethereum and Ripple, plus a crypto index. You can access competitive crypto spreads in the broker's wide choice of platforms as well as 1:2 leverage.
