Risk Warning
EratoFX is a Ponzi Scheme. The scheme leads victims to believe that profits are coming from legitimate business activity (e.g., product sales or successful investments), and they remain unaware that other investors are the source of funds. A Ponzi scheme can maintain the illusion of a sustainable business as long as new investors contribute new funds, and as long as most of the investors do not demand full repayment and still believe in the non-existent assets they are purported to own. Some red flags of a Ponzi Scheme:
High investment returns with little or no risk
Overly consistent returns.
Unregistered investments
Unlicensed sellers
Secretive or complex strategies.
Issues with paperwork.
Difficulty receiving payments

Market Instruments
EratoFX advertises that it can offer forex currency pairs, indices, metals, as well as crypto currencies. .
Minimum Deposit
EratoFX seems to require a minimum deposit of $500. Keep in mind that most legit brokers only ask its traders to fund around $100 or even less into their accounts to start real trading.
Leverage
In terms of trading leverage, the maximum leverage level offered by EratoFX is up to 1:500, which is considered high. Although this trading leverage is generous, inexperienced traders are not advised to use too high leverage given the fact that margin trading is full of risks.
Spreads & Commissions
EratoFX only hypes that it offers low spreads, but does not specify its spreads on particular instruments. Unregulated brokers love to scam traders by hiding their real trading costs, but in fact, trading on its platforms usually costs immensely much.
Trading Platform Available
When it comes to trading platform available, EratoFX does not make this part clear. As an unregulated and scam broker, it can be risky to trade with it no matter what trading platforms it offers.
