Cons
$20,000 minimum deposit for the best trading conditions Weak regulatory oversight through the offshore branch Narrow range of trading instruments with no cryptos Slow sign-up process compared to rivals Education trails the top brokers	It's a shame that some clients will need to register with the offshore entity, which offers less regulatory protection A steep $10,000 deposit is needed for the best trading conditions, which include the $1.50 commission per side The average execution speeds of 100ms to 250ms are slower than alternatives based on tests Unfortunately, cryptos are only available for Australian clients

App Review
The Ultima Markets app offers forex trading with fast execution speeds, dynamic charts and risk management tools. The interface is clean with customizable layouts and watchlists. The forex app is available on Apple and Android devices.	Vantage offers one of the most complete trading apps we’ve used. The crisp design and slick interface makes analyzing markets and placing trades straightforward. Changing to horizontal mode offers an optimal charting view, though frustratingly it can take a few seconds for the app to respond. Fortunately, this minor drawback is outweighed by the ease of overlaying indicators and drawing tools, plus the integrated economic calendar, newsfeed, market analysis, and even FX TV.
