Pros
The main thing that stands out for me is the wide range of platforms available at Tradeview, including the MetaTrader terminals, cTrader and Currenex, plus several software options for the broker’s real stocks trading service Through STP/ECN execution, the broker is able to achieve raw pricing on popular assets. Tradeview also charges very low commissions from $2.50 per lot per side My tests uncovered a strong range of 60+ currency pairs, which is above the industry average and should allow serious forex traders to explore plenty of opportunities I found a decent range of payment methods available at Tradeview, with no deposit fees and same-day processing times In addition, TradeView is a liquidity provider for other firms, underlining their reliability.	There's an impressive range of blockchain products, including DeFi services, NFTs and games, alongside 400+ established and emerging coins In 2025, OKX secured a MiFID II license, enabling it to offer regulated derivatives products across Europe, providing peace of mind You can access a wide range of trading products, including futures, options and perpetual swaps via a mobile app or desktop platform OKX maintains an excellent reputation with 20 million global clients and a license from the Dubai Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority Traders can access historical market data for spot and futures combining OHLC data, aggregate trades and trading history There's a vast developer lab plus access to a marketplace of pre-built trading bots with auto-arbitrage Active traders can expect competitive maker and taker fees, from 0.02% and 0.05%, respectively Crypto staking and pools are available with competitive mining fees from 2%
Cons
A key drawback for me is the lack of top-tier regulatory oversight. The broker’s offshore regulation with CIMA may mean that traders won’t receive robust fund protection measures. They are however, looking to bolster this area in the near future. I was a little disappointed to find a $35 fee for bank wire withdrawals and a 1-1.5% fee for Skrill and Neteller	The firm offers limited regulatory oversight, though this is common among crypto brokers The quality of customer support was inconsistent based on testing The broker's platform and features may be complex for novices

Cryptocurrency
I found 5 crypto products at Tradeview: BTCUSD, ETHUSD, LTCUSD, XRPUSD and BTCJPY. Whilst this isn’t the widest range, beginners should have enough opportunities to explore the market. Plus, with STP/ECN execution, traders should be able to access relatively competitive prices.	OKX continues to offer a superb selection of 400+ tokens including Bitcoin and Ripple. You can buy and sell tokens or trade cryptos on margin via derivatives, including perpetual swaps, options and futures. OKX stands out for its low fees, extensive range of tokens and speedy crypto transactions.
