Pros
Competitive and transparent ECN spreads from 0.0 pips with zero commissions, making FXCC one of the cheapest forex brokers As an MT4 broker, FXCC offers advanced charting tools and excellent support for algo traders, especially when combined with the free VPS The free education section, including the 'Traders Corner' blog, offers a large selection of materials that will serve all experience levels There are no deposit fees except industry-standard mining charges on cryptos, which is advantageous for active traders FXCC is trusted and licensed by the CySEC, a top-tier European regulator offering high standards of safeguarding There are no restrictions on short-term trading strategies like day trading and scalping	Vantage maintains its high trust score thanks to its strong reputation and top-tier regulation from the FCA and ASIC The ECN accounts are very competitive with spreads from 0.0 pips and a $1.50 commission per side There’s an excellent suite of day trading software, including the award-winning platforms MT4 and MT5 The broker has recently made efforts to expand its suite of CFDs providing further trading opportunities Vantage caters to hands-off investors with beginner-friendly social trading via ZuluTrade & Myfxbook The low minimum deposit of $50 and zero funding fees make this broker a great choice for new traders There are no short-term strategy restrictions with hedging and scalping permitted It’s quick and easy to open a live account – taking less than 2 minutes
Cons
FXCC’s single platform offering is a major drawback compared to many alternatives, notably AvaTrade which provides 5 platforms to suit different trader preferences Although MetaTrader 4 continues to shine for technical analysis, the subpar design dampens the trading experience, especially compared to modern alternatives like TradingView There is a threadbare selection of research tools like Trading Central and Autochartist, value-add features available at category leaders like IG While the range of currency pairs exceeds most alternatives, the selection of additional assets is narrow, and notably, there are no stocks High withdrawal fees may catch out unsuspecting traders, including a significant $45 charge for bank wire payments	It's a shame that some clients will need to register with the offshore entity, which offers less regulatory protection A steep $10,000 deposit is needed for the best trading conditions, which include the $1.50 commission per side The average execution speeds of 100ms to 250ms are slower than alternatives based on tests Unfortunately, cryptos are only available for Australian clients

App Review
FXCC elevates mobile trading with the MT4 app on iPhone, iPad, and Android, perfect for day traders with its reliable, advanced charting featuring 30 indicators, 9 timeframes and 3 chart types. It’s incredibly easy to dive into trading on the MT4 app through an FXCC account, with just 3 simple steps. The app offers the flexibility to trade a great selection of over 70 currency pairs and other popular markets on the go.	Vantage offers one of the most complete trading apps we’ve used. The crisp design and slick interface makes analyzing markets and placing trades straightforward. Changing to horizontal mode offers an optimal charting view, though frustratingly it can take a few seconds for the app to respond. Fortunately, this minor drawback is outweighed by the ease of overlaying indicators and drawing tools, plus the integrated economic calendar, newsfeed, market analysis, and even FX TV.
