Comment by Reviewer
"With its diverse asset list, competitive fees and superb charting software, ThinkMarkets maintains its position as a top choice for most CFD traders. That said, experienced traders will particularly appreciate the range of advanced tools, including forex signals and VPS solutions."	"Fusion Markets is a standout option for forex traders looking for excellent pricing with spreads near zero, industry-low commissions and recently TradingView integration. It’s a particularly good broker for Australian traders where the company is headquartered and regulated by the ASIC."
Pros
Low fees with competitive spreads on the commission-free account and very tight spreads and a low $3.5 commission on ThinkZero Unique Traders' Gym simulation tool for testing out strategies on real historical data, with multiple timeframes and custom features In-depth educational resources for beginner, intermediate and advanced level traders, plus live webinars Three stable and award-winning platforms plus seamless integration with the broker's Signal Centre Top-tier regulation from the FCA, ASIC and CySEC plus offshore branches with high leverage Free VPS hosting available for MT4 and MT5, ideal for traders using Expert Advisors (EAs) Advanced charting package from TradingView in ThinkTrader Web - ideal for day traders Reliable 24/7 multilingual support via telephone, email or live chat Quick and easy to open a ThinkMarkets account	The market analysis features, Market Buzz and Analyst Views, are great tools for discovering opportunities and conveniently integrated into the client dashboard. The range of charting platforms and social trading features is excellent, with MT4, MT5, cTrader and more recently TradingView, catering to a wide range of trader preferences. Fusion Markets continues to impress with its pricing that provides tight spreads with below-average commissions that will appeal to active day traders. Fusion Markets is set up to support algo traders with a sponsored VPS solution and a 25% discount if you opt for the NYC Servers VPS for MT4 or cTrader. Average execution speeds of around 37 milliseconds are noticeably faster than many rivals and can help day traders secure optimal prices in fast-moving markets. Fusion Markets offers best-in-class support with very fast, friendly and helpful responses during tests and no frustrating automated chatbot to navigate.
Cons
$500 minimum deposit for ThinkZero account Not many payment methods available for UK traders Limited bonus offers, refer-a-friend schemes or trading competitions	Fusion Market trails alternatives, notably eToro and IG, in the education department with limited guides and live video sessions to upskill new traders. While the selection of currency pairs trumps most rivals, the broker's alternative investment offering is average with no stock CFDs beyond the US. Traders outside of Australia must sign up with weakly regulated global entities with limited safeguards and no negative balance protection. There is no proprietary trading platform or app built with beginners in mind, a notable drawback compared to AvaTrade. The demo account expires after 30 days, limiting its potential as a useful trading tool alongside a real-money account.

App Review
	Fusion Markets offers seamless integration with the cTrader, MT4, MT5 and TradingView apps, available on Android or iOS. Although we find the design of the MetaTrader app increasingly outdated, detracting from the user experience, it excels for its premium charting package, integrated news stream and push notifications. The cTrader app performed even better during tests, featuring a superior design and an extensive suite of over 70 indictors and 26 timeframes, making it the obvious choice for advanced day traders.
