Our view of Octa
Octa stands out for a CySEC licence, 15 years of operating history, a low minimum deposit of $25 and MetaTrader 5. Its suitability depends on the legal entity available in your country, the protection attached to that entity and whether its pricing and platform range match how you intend to trade.
