Review	Review
xChief is a foreign exchange and CFD broker, established in 2014. The company is based offshore and registered with the VFSC and FMA. Users can choose between a wide selection of accounts and base currencies, making ForexChief accessible to global traders. The brand also stands out for its no deposit bonus and fee rebates for high-volume traders.	AAATrade is a forex and CFD broker established in 2013 and regulated by CySEC. The STP broker offers tens of thousands of Stocks, ETFs, CFDs, securities and cryptocurrency products on the proprietary and MetaTrader platforms.

Pros
The broker offers several account types to suit different traders, including a Cent account for beginners and pro-level hedging/netting accounts The broker offers a turnover rebate scheme geared towards active investors, as well as trading credits and several other occasional bonuses xChief delivers a high-quality trading environment via the MT4 and MT5 platforms, with market-leading charts, indicators and tools xChief offers STP/ECN execution with low spreads from 0.0 pips and low commission rates starting from $2.50 per side The low minimum deposit of $10 will appeal to beginners, as well as the beginners’ guides in the Library Traders can access a copy trading solution via the MetaQuotes Signals service	I was glad to see commission-free trading available in the Novice account, though seasoned traders can also benefit from low commissions from 0.125% in the Experienced account There's a good range of trading platforms, including the new AAATrader™ and MT5 mobile app. I particularly appreciated the broker's in-house crypto exchange platform I feel assured the AAATrade is regulated by tier-1 authority, the CySEC and is also a member of the Investor Compensation Fund (ICF) I like that there is no minimum deposit for both the Novice and Experienced Accounts, making the broker accessible for all traders I was very impressed to find a $100,000 demo account available with free access to webinars and forex education
Cons
The Classic+ and Cent accounts provide access to fewer instruments than the other account types, at 50+ and 35+, respectively xChief is an offshore broker with weak regulatory oversight from the VFSC, so traders will receive limited safeguards Fees and minimums are imposed on most withdrawal methods, including a €60 minimum for SWIFT bank transfers The total range of 150+ assets is much lower than most competitors who typically offer hundreds The broker trails competitors when it comes to research tools and educational resources	I'm a little disappointed that fees charged on deposits, which puts the broker behind most competitors offering free deposits Crypto trading does not have the same protection or regulation as other markets, though this is industry standard

CFD
You can trade a competitive range of CFDs encompassing crypto, indices, energies and metals, with very high leverage up to 1:1000. ECN pricing is available, with spreads from 0.0 pips and low commissions from $2.50. A Cent account is also available for those on a smaller budget.	During my tests, I found thousands of leveraged CFD products across forex, indices, commodities, stocks and cryptocurrencies. Commissions are competitive and I particularly enjoyed using all the free CFD trading resources available in the demo account.

Trading takes place on the leading MT4 and MT5 platforms, which offer dozens of in-built technical tools for short-term forex strategies.	AAATrade offers 80+ forex pairs, including majors and minors, which is a competitive range and more than most brokers I have reviewed. I was also able to take advantage of the broker's daily technical insights with chart analysis, as well as the live economic calendar.

Cryptocurrency
xChief’s range of 5 cryptocurrencies paired with USD is smaller than most competitors. In addition, the average BTCUSD spread of 30 pips is not the cheapest. That said, the broker does offer some useful crypto trading guides for beginners.	I was impressed with AAATrade's range of 50 cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin and Ethereum, which is more than most brokers I review. I was particularly glad to see a good mix of crypto-crypto pairs, as well as some crypto-fiat pairs against USD and EUR.
