Comment by Reviewer
"ForexChief continues to prove popular with investors looking to trade highly leveraged CFDs on the popular MetaTrader platforms. The broker's rebate scheme and investment accounts will particularly appeal to seasoned traders. However, the lack of top-tier regulatory oversight is a major drawback."	"AvaTrade offers the full package for short-term traders. There is powerful charting software, reliable execution, transparent fees, and fast account opening with a low minimum deposit."
Pros
The broker offers several account types to suit different traders, including a Cent account for beginners and pro-level hedging/netting accounts The broker offers a turnover rebate scheme geared towards active investors, as well as trading credits and several other occasional bonuses ForexChief delivers a high-quality day trading environment via the MT4 and MT5 platforms, with market-leading charts, indicators and tools ForexChief offers STP/ECN execution with low spreads from 0.0 pips and low commission rates starting from $2.50 per side The low minimum deposit of $10 will appeal to beginners, as well as the beginners’ guides in the Library Traders can access a copy trading solution via the MetaQuotes Signals service	WebTrader is well-suited to beginners and features a strong suite of technical analysis tools and market research for day traders 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 Day traders can access stable spreads and zero commissions with no hidden fees
Cons
The Classic+ and Cent accounts provide access to fewer instruments than the other account types, at 50+ and 35+, respectively ForexChief is an offshore broker with weak regulatory oversight from the VFSC, so traders will receive limited safeguards Fees and minimums are imposed on most withdrawal methods, including a €60 minimum for SWIFT bank transfers The total range of 150+ assets is much lower than most competitors who typically offer hundreds The broker trails competitors when it comes to research tools and educational resources	A high $2000 minimum investment is required to use DupliTrade, which will be out of reach for many beginners There’s an above-average $50 inactivity fee after three months, though this won't impact active day traders It’s a shame that there are no rebate schemes for serious traders looking for additional perks - CMC Markets would be a better choice here There is no ECN account with raw spreads Traders from the US are not accepted
