Cons
The broker’s bonus schemes have stringent terms and conditions, including restrictions on minimum deposits and payment methods used Unlike similar brands like Fusion Markets, VT Markets does not offer crypto trading	Despite increasing its range of instruments, FOREX.com's product portfolio is still limited to forex and CFDs, so there are no options to invest in real stocks, real ETFs or real cryptocurrencies. FOREX.com's MT4 platform offers approximately 600 instruments, significantly fewer than the over 5,500 available on its non-MetaTrader platforms. Funding options are limited compared to leading alternatives like IC Markets and don’t include many popular e-wallets, notably UnionPay and POLi. There’s no negative balance protection for US clients, so you may find yourself owing more money than your initial deposit into your account. Demo accounts are frustratingly time-limited to 90 days, which doesn’t give you enough time to test day trading strategies effectively.
