Comment by Reviewer | |
"After spending some time exploring the accounts, I think TIO Markets is best suited to experienced traders who can deposit at least $1000 to take advantage of the competitive trading conditions available with the VIP accounts. Nonetheless, it would be nice to see a more diverse range of assets on offer in my opinion." | "Binary.com (now Deriv) is a great pick for beginners and advanced traders interested in short-term trading with multipliers and leveraged CFDs. The broker is also a leader in synthetic indices which simulate real market movements and are available around the clock." |

Unfortunately, I do feel that the broker's mediocre range of 300 CFDs will be quite restricting for most traders. It certainly doesn't compare to many other brands I review. Plus, the absence of crypto, ETF and soft commodity CFDs is a further setback. | Deriv's CFD offering includes 38 forex pairs, 58 stocks, seven indices, 31 crypto pairs and 16 indices, with variable leverage up to 1:30 and tight spreads. The broker also offers CFDs on four synthetic indices, which allow 24/7 trading on customisable levels of volatility, and they are not available elsewhere. |

My tests uncovered an average selection of 46 forex pairs, including major, minor and exotic currency combinations. That said, access to both the MT4 and MT5 platforms is a major bonus for forex strategists looking for market-leading software. | Deriv traders can speculate on 38 major and minor pairs via CFDs on MT4 or 14 majors with the broker's 'multiplier' derivatives via the proprietary trading terminal. This is a decent range of currencies compared to many alternatives. |

Crypto trading not offered | Deriv's 31 crypto CFDs are traded in pairs with USD and leverage up to 1:2. Multipliers are available on the BTC/USD and ETH/USD pairs. We like that crypto traders also get access to the powerful MT5 platform. |
