The broker has low futures fees and there is no inactivity fee. The desktop platform and its research tools are great and meet the needs of experienced traders. There are many high-quality educational materials, including videos and articles.

On the negative side, wire withdrawal fees are quite high. The flagship MultiCharts .NET platform is only available as a desktop app with no mobile or web versions. The product portfolio is slim, covering only futures and options on futures.
