Pros
	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
	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
