Data verified on unchanged since the sources

Worth it if you trade derivatives and want copy trading, up to 125x leverage and very low fees, backed by a $300M protection fund.

Avoid it if you're a beginner: up to 125x leverage magnifies losses, and the operator is based in Seychelles, a weak-oversight jurisdiction.

Strengths

  • Copy trading futures; 125x leverage; $300M protection; fee very basse.
  • No notable sovereignty advantage documented.

Weaknesses

  • 125x leverage risky; Seychelles.
  • Custodial: the platform holds your funds and can freeze or lose them.
  • Full KYC required: verified identity, zero pseudonymity.
  • Subject to regulation (Licenze regionali): reporting to authorities and freezes on order.
  • Geographic restrictions (US, Canada, Singapore, Mainland China).

Verdict

A D ★ 4.1/5 ★ 1.2/5

The A rests on very low fees (0.02% maker, 0.055% taker) and a $300M protection fund, giving the average user a cushion if things go wrong. Holding the score back are the Seychelles base, weak on regulatory protection, and leverage of up to 125x that remains the riskiest element, especially when paired with futures copy trading.

Little to salvage for those seeking autonomy: custodial funds, full KYC and an opaque offshore jurisdiction leave the user fully exposed to the counterparty. Copy trading and the protection fund are mainstream conveniences, not tools of sovereignty.
