Review	Review
LonghornFX is a forex and CFD broker offering over 150 instruments with leverage up to 1:500. The firm is registered in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines and was launched in 2020. Clients can access a strong selection of cryptos, alongside forex, indices, commodities and stocks. With ECN/STP processing, this offshore broker promises tight spreads and fast execution.	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. Traders can benefit from standard retail accounts as well as portfolio management and advisory services.
Pros
LonghornFX supports traders with 24/7 assistance that was fast and helpful during testing, plus an extensive Academy featuring 1,650+ market analysis articles, 10 educational pieces, and 4 video guides. Traders willing to forego certain regulatory protections can access high leverage up to 1:500, amplifying both profits and losses on forex, stocks, indices and cryptos. LonghornFX stands out by offering an unlimited demo account and virtual bankroll, allowing aspiring traders to test and refine strategies before risking real funds.	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
LonghornFX hasn't earned the reputation and regulatory credentials of DayTrading.com’s most trusted trading platforms, increasing the risk to your funds in the event of disputes or broker insolvency. Despite reasonable daily market analysis, LonghornFX still lacks the webinars, live trading sessions and comprehensive research provided by best-in-class brokers, which could help inform trading decisions. The less than 200 instruments seriously limits potential trading opportunities, with an especially weak selection of stocks that falls way behind the 12,000+ shares at IG.	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
