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."

The powerful charting platforms collectively offer over 100 technical indicators, as well as extensive research tools."

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	Despite increasing its range of instruments, FOREX.com's product portfolio is still limited to forex and CFDs, so there are no options to invest in real stocks, real ETFs or real cryptocurrencies. FOREX.com's MT4 platform offers approximately 600 instruments, significantly fewer than the over 5,500 available on its non-MetaTrader platforms. Funding options are limited compared to leading alternatives like IC Markets and don’t include many popular e-wallets, notably UnionPay and POLi. There’s no negative balance protection for US clients, so you may find yourself owing more money than your initial deposit into your account. Demo accounts are frustratingly time-limited to 90 days, which doesn’t give you enough time to test day trading strategies effectively.
