Do not believe the bonus offer from Beacon Commodities and Futures Exchange (BCFX). The turnover requirement is designed so you can never withdraw. I learned the hard way. I deposited through a podcast recommendation and the bonus terms were buried in pages of small print. My fault for not reading but their design is predatory.

Cons: No crypto staking
Opened my account with Beacon Commodities and Futures Exchange (BCFX) through word of mouth in my investment club and regretted it within the first month.

Pros: Transparent fees|No hidden fees|Stable platform
Cons: Spreads widen during volatile periods
The mobile app from Beacon Commodities and Futures Exchange (BCFX) is dangerous. I placed an order that showed as pending, so I placed another. Both executed and I was overexposed. When I complained they said it was user error. The app design is misleading.

Cons: Desktop app not available on Linux|Slow to add new assets
I wanted to transfer my portfolio from another broker to Beacon Commodities and Futures Exchange (BCFX). They said they do not accept in-kind transfers for my asset type. I had to sell, withdraw, deposit, and rebuy - incurring taxes and spread costs. They did not tell me this before I signed up.

Cons: None so far
I closed a profitable position at Beacon Commodities and Futures Exchange (BCFX) and the profit was not credited for 5 days. Support said it was a settlement delay.
