Cons
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, including a $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	A high $2000 minimum investment is required to use DupliTrade, which will be out of reach for many beginners There’s a steep $50 inactivity fee after three months, which is higher than the industry average It’s a shame that there are no rebate schemes for active traders looking for additional perks There is no ECN account with raw spreads Traders from the US are not accepted
