GCM

I like that they offer more than 500 different instruments, covering forex, commodities, indices, foreign stocks, and even bonds. Having both MT4 and MT5 available is a huge plus for me since I already use custom indicators and automated strategies on those platforms. They also have several proprietary platforms for more specialized trading, and a free demo account with $100,000 in virtual funds, which is perfect for testing before going live.

Yes, they have a free trial account with $100,000 in virtual money. I see this as a good way to get familiar with their platforms and test strategies without risking real funds.

Honestly, I wouldn’t call GCM FX fully safe or legit. They’ve been operating since 2018 in Turkey, but without regulation, I know that if something went wrong, I wouldn’t have the same legal protection as I would with a licensed broker. If I ever tried them, I’d start small just to test how they handle deposits, withdrawals, and trade execution.

Yes, a few that stand out to me. The biggest is the lack of regulation. They also don’t provide clear information on their account types, spreads, or commissions, so I can’t calculate my trading costs in advance. On top of that, I couldn’t find their minimum deposit requirement, which makes it harder to plan.
