While WESTERN offers strong regulatory oversight for futures trading, it does have its drawbacks. One key disadvantage is its limited product range, as it only supports futures trading and lacks options for forex, bonds, stocks, or ETFs. This may not be ideal for traders looking for a more diverse range of markets to invest in. Additionally, [Western Review] points out that the platform’s lack of a demo account can be a barrier for beginners who wish to familiarize themselves with the platform before committing real capital. Furthermore, the transparency of certain operational aspects, such as fees, is not clearly outlined, which may cause confusion for traders.
