Cons
- The minimum deposit of $100 is above the $0 CFI asks and the $5 Vantage asks

Who each suits
iFOREX
Who it suits
- Traders who want stocks, etfs and forex in a single account and can fund $100, while Vantage opens at $5.
- EU clients who prefer CySEC oversight and EU ICS up to EUR 20,000 to the route run by the BVI FSC.
- Savers happy to work from iFOREX App and practise on a demo account first.
Who should look elsewhere
- Small starters: CFI opens at $0 and Vantage at $5, both below iFOREX's $100.
- Broader market seekers: eToro lists stocks, etfs and forex, adding futures to iFOREX's stocks, etfs and forex.
- Traders who want phone or chat support, since support runs on help centre only.
Tradu
Who it suits
- Traders who want stocks, forex, CFDs, crypto and metals in one account
- Anyone who values regulation in the UK and Australia over the lowest entry cost
- MetaTrader 5 users who also want a mobile app and TradingView
Who should look elsewhere
- Buyers starting with a small balance, since CFI takes a minimum deposit of $0
- Copy traders, because copy trading is not among the mobile app listed for Tradu
Questions about each
iFOREX
What does it cost to trade a stock?+
The stock trade fee is $0. iFOREX runs a commission free pricing model, so there is no per-trade commission layered on top, and the account covers stocks, etfs and forex. The cost side of the ledger is the deposit and any inactivity charge, not the trade itself.
How much do I need to deposit to open an account?+
The minimum deposit is $100. That puts iFOREX towards the dearer end of the field: it ranks 148 of 213 brands on minimum deposit. CFI opens at $0 and Vantage at $5, so a lighter entry is available elsewhere.
Tradu
What is the minimum deposit at Tradu?+
Tradu sets a minimum deposit of $100. That sits above the $0 CFI requires and the $5 Vantage requires, so Tradu suits traders funding a slightly larger starting balance.
Does Tradu charge for deposits and withdrawals?+
No. The stated position on money moving in and out of the account is No deposit or withdrawal fees. That means funding the account and taking money out adds nothing to the cost of holding a position.
