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." "Exness remains an accessible broker for all experience levels, though experienced day traders will particularly appreciate the ultra-low commission rates, fast withdrawals and high-quality charting software."

CFD Trading
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. Exness offers a selection of CFDs covering forex, stocks, indices, commodities and cryptos, with leverage up to 1:200. Accounts are geared mainly towards experienced day traders, with over 100 technical indicators available in the broker’s proprietary terminal.

Forex Trading
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. An impressive range of around 100 forex pairs are available, more than most other brands. Spreads on major pairs are also tight, from 0.1 pips. Additionally, the broker offers an excellent suite of forex analysis tools, including market news by FXStreet.
