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.	No MetaTrader 4 integration The broker isn’t overseen by a trusted regulatory agency US clients aren’t accepted due to legal restrictions
