Pros
Pepperstone boasts impressive execution speeds, averaging around 30ms, facilitating fast order processing and execution that’s ideal for day trading. There’s support for a range of industry-leading charting platforms including MT4, MT5, TradingView, and cTrader, catering to various short-term trading styles, including algo trading. Pepperstone emerges as a low-cost broker, especially for serious day traders with spreads from 0.0 in the Razor account and rebates of 25%+ through the Active Trader program. Award-winning customer support is available via telephone, email or live chat with response times of <5 minutes during testing. Now offering spread betting through TradingView, Pepperstone provides a seamless, tax-efficient trading experience with advanced analysis tools.	Over 1,400 instruments available across multiple markets, including stocks and crypto Helpful economic calendar with useful filters including time zone and impact score High leverage up to 1:400, ideal for active day traders Advanced MetaTrader 5 platform Tight spreads on forex assets
Cons
There’s no simplified proprietary trading platform, nor are there any social trading features, which could be a disadvantage if you are new to day trading. Pepperstone’s demo accounts are active for only 30 days, which may not be not long enough to familiarize yourself with the different platforms and test trading strategies. Pepperstone does not support cTrader Copy, a popular copy trading feature built into the excellent cTrader platform and available at alternatives like IC Markets. Despite enhancements to its range of markets, crypto offerings are relatively limited compared to other brokers such as eToro, with no option to invest in real coins.	Unverifiable information on the website and lack of transparency Poor regulation with limited evidence of client protection Very high minimum deposit starting from $5000 Poor customer service with no live chat US traders not accepted

App Review
Pepperstone excels for its excellent integration with the MT4, MT5, cTrader, and TradingView apps, making it a standout option for day traders familiar with these leading third-party trading solutions. Despite the absence of a proprietary app, these platforms deliver a stable and reliable mobile trading experience, enhanced by Pepperstone’s almost unrivalled execution speeds and wide range of asset classes.

Copy Trading Platform
Pepperstone facilitates the replication of experienced traders' strategies through MetaTrader Signals and DupliTrade. However, it lacks support for cTrader Copy and does not offer a proprietary social trading network similar to those found on platforms like eToro or Vantage, which foster lively social trading communities for aspiring traders.

CFD Trading
Pepperstone maintains its position as one of the fastest and most dependable CFD brokers during our latest round of testing. With execution speeds averaging around 30ms and an outstanding fill rate of 99.90%, the broker ensures a seamless trading experience without requotes or dealing desk interference. It also provides ample trading opportunities across over 1,300 assets.	CFDs are available on key asset classes with high leverage up to 1:400. You can also access the broker's platform on multiple devices, though we are disappointed with the lack of additional trading tools and research.

Forex Trading
Pepperstone offers ultra-competitive forex spreads averaging 0.12 pips on EUR/USD in the Razor account, accompanied by a diverse portfolio comprising 100+ currency pairs - an extensive selection surpassing most competitors. Additionally, Pepperstone distinguishes itself by offering three currency indices (USDX, EURX, JPYX), not commonly found among alternative platforms. Pepperstone has now won our annual 'Best Forex Broker' award twice.	LBLV offers major and minor pairs but fails to offer prospective clients any transparency on forex spreads and fees. Beginners will also struggle to access the high-deposit forex trading accounts.
Forex App
Pepperstone deliver their MetaTrader 4, MetaTrader 5, cTrader and TradingView platforms across both Android and iOS. With faster processing times, the ability to hedge your positions, advanced pending orders and more tools and indicators to take your trading to the next level – they are a powerful addition for mobile traders.

Cryptocurrency
Pepperstone continues to prove itself as one of the most trusted crypto brokers. Although its selection of digital tokens is average, you can trade popular cryptos like Bitcoin and altcoins like Ripple with up to 1:10 leverage, while its crypto indices provide a holistic view of the digital currency markets not found on most day trading platforms.	Go long or short on a handful of popular cryptos, including Bitcoin. However, the suite of digital tokens is limited vs alternatives so we don't recommend LBLV for dedicated crypto traders.
