Cons
A $40 inactivity fee applies to accounts that have been dormant for more than 90 days, which is much higher than the $10 charged by many competitors Withdrawal fees apply for more than one payment per calendar month, which is particularly punitive for active traders There's a $25 withdrawal fee for payments under $100, which is steep and will impact beginners and casual traders FXDD offers around 150 instruments - a narrow range compared to the hundreds offered at most top brokers The broker's market insights section is outdated and trails leading competitors	It’s a shame that the broker doesn’t offer any additional software such as MT5 or TradingView to give experienced traders more choice Commissions start from $13.50 per lot in the zero-spread accounts, nearly double the industry average Compared to the leading brokers, IronFX offers a relatively small selection of share CFDs
