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.
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.
