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."	"eToro is a great pick for traders who want to trade CFDs with copy trading and other social investing features. The brand is hugely respected with a string of awards and strong regulatory oversight."
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	25M+ user community Interest up to 5.35% on idle funds Industry-leading copy trading app Commission-free stock trading Islamic/Halal-friendly account Good user reviews and app rankings Low minimum deposit requirement Multiple orders including take profits Digital wallet with multiple currencies Trustworthy and award-winning company Comprehensive online training academy Demo account with access to virtual funds
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	Fee to withdraw revenue Limited contact methods No guaranteed stop loss No MetaTrader 4 (MT4) or MetaTrader 5 (MT5) platforms Currency conversion fees for account denominations other than USD

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.	An impressive selection of 52 currencies are tradeable on eToro's proprietary platform and app. Traders can also continuously hone their forex strategies by switching between demo mode and their live account any time.

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.	eToro leads the way in cryptocurrency trading. The lowest spreads (from 1% for BTC), their own wallet service and the largest number of cryptos to trade in the market. Don’t invest unless you’re prepared to lose all the money you invest.
