Comment by Reviewer
"IC Markets offers superior pricing, exceptionally fast execution and seamless deposits. The introduction of advanced charting platforms, notably TradingView, and the Raw Trader Plus account, ensures it remains a top choice for intermediate to advanced day traders."	"SuperForex will suit experienced traders looking for high leverage rates and premium membership packages. The broker also continues to stand out for its wide selection of beginner-friendly accounts, although the lack of top-tier regulation is a notable drawback."

Cons
While IC Markets offers a selection of metals and cryptos for trading via CFDs, the range is not as extensive as brokers like eToro, limiting opportunities for traders interested in these asset classes. The breadth and depth of tutorials, webinars and educational resources still need work, trailing alternatives like CMC Markets and reducing its suitability for beginners. There are fees for certain withdrawal methods, including a $20 wire charge, which can eat into profits, especially for frequent withdrawals. Despite four industry-leading third-party platforms, there is no proprietary software or trading app built with new traders in mind. Interest isn't paid on unused cash, an increasingly popular feature found at alternatives like Interactive Brokers.	The Belize IFSC is not considered a top-tier regulatory provider, so clients may receive fewer financial safeguards The 0.5-pip minimum spreads in the standard ECN accounts are not as tight as some of the cheapest ECN brokers, such as Pepperstone
