Pros
I appreciate the flexible access to the MetaTrader 5 web and mobile platforms as well as TradingView charting and copy trading functionality There are some diverse and popular asset classes on offer including forex, stocks, crypto and NFTs I'm a fan of the comprehensive learning academy backed by London’s Association of Trading & Investment (ATI) I like that traders can benefit from the Funded Trader program with up to $500,000 account size and 70% profit split	Web-based platform provides a quick and easy way to access markets Good selection of cryptocurrencies available including Bitcoin Binary options contracts from 30 seconds to 30 days Accepts crypto deposits and withdrawals $10 low minimum deposit Easy sign-up process Payouts up to 95% $1 minimum trade
Cons
I'm disappointed that the broker is regulated offshore by the Seychelles Financial Services Authority (SFSA) and is not overseen by any top-tier authority I don't like how limited the shares offering is at 10TradeFX, putting them low in my rankings for market availability	Offshore regulation raises safety concerns Average trading terms on CFDs with spreads from 3 pips on GBP/USD Clients based in the USA cannot use the broker’s products

CFD
10TradeFX offers 200+ CFDs available to trade on the MT5 terminal. This is a relatively small range compared to most competitors I've reviewed. That said, the minimum deposit requirement to get started is only $50, which is great news for beginners.	Focus Option offers CFD trading through an intuitive mobile app, with 300+ tradeable instruments spanning forex, cryptocurrencies, commodities, shares and indices. Leverage ranges from 1:20 to 1:50 and spreads are variable, starting from 1 pip, with no commission.

My tests uncovered an average range of 40+ major, minor and exotic currency pairs with spreads as low as 0.1 pips and leverage up to 1:500. I like that the broker offers flexible contract sizes between 0.01 and 1 lot.	Focus Option offers 22 forex pairs tradeable via binary options, including a selection of majors and minors. FX pairs are also available to trade with margin on Focus Option's mobile app, which offers high leverage up to 1:50 and spreads from 1 pip.

Cryptocurrency
There are 10+ crypto instruments available, including Bitcoin, Ethereum and Litecoin. Again, this is pretty limited for active crypto traders but I am glad to see some popular altcoins available 24/7 including Polkadot and Chainlink.	Focus Option clients can trade binary options on an extensive list of 80+ cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin and Ethereum plus smaller altcoins like Tron and 0x. Crypto CFDs are also available through the broker's mobile app with high leverage.
