Trade345, a young South African broker, has gained some regional popularity, but lacks an established reputation. Trade245 offers access to FX pairs, indices, stocks and commodities CFDs with operation on both MetaTrader 4 and MetaTrader 5. Although this broker only asks for a modest minimum deposit, it does not shine on trading costs. Besides, this broker heavily relies on bonuses to attract new investors and it does not provide trading signals.
Pocket Option is considered a beginner-friendly trading platform, providing access to over 100 CFD instruments. Though not in an extensive range, 12 currency pairs, 10 cryptocurrencies, and stock indices are enough for focused and efficient trading. Particularly, forex trading starts at $10, perfectly fit for beginners' trading styles. Besides, Pocket Option provides a free demo account with virtual funds of $50,000 to give users risk-free practice. Though Pocket Option introduces commission-free option trading, they are less competitive in trading costs for other instruments.
OlympTrade is a relatively young online broker registered in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, a shady spot with a booming of unlicensed entities. Tradable assets on the OlymTrade are not extensive, and this broker does not tell many essential trading conditions. As for trading platforms, I found trades can only operated on a simple web-based trading platform, no Metatrader platform at all.
T4Trade, established in 2021 and regulated by the FSA in the Seychelles, allows trading on a modest portfolio of over 300 instruments, spanning forex, metals, indices, commodities, futures, and shares, all accessible via the popular MetaTrader 4 and their proprietary WebTrader platforms. Notably, T4Trade offers a zero-commissions pricing model where both floating and fixed spreads are offered on its MetaTrader—flexible leverage up to 1000:1 to increase trading flexibility. T4Trade also introduces a copy trading service called “TradeCopier”, which enables traders who lack experience or time to join in the markets by copying the trades of seasoned professionals.
