Hi, I have got live accounts with them for years now, first MT4 and now MT5 and from my experience all I can say is they don't play with the magic widening spread button that MetaQuotes provides with their brokers module. No S/L hunting observed sometimes even to a fifth decimal difference. There are not many brokers who are fair play and are happy to live with the regular and very reasonable bid/offer spreads they are charging. In addition their staff is performing a great and speedy support service (many thanks to the French Desk). My only regret...
Agree with this, I was happy with this broker apart from the dreadful H4 charts.

Very annoying as you see H4 zones that don't quite get hit and weird PA. NY or GMT offset is miles better.

I'm looking at opening with IG in the new year (GMT feed) but things don't feel quite as smooth, choppier spreads and the minimum stop loss distance policy is frustrating..

My only regret is that their servers are on European time and therefore I can't really use their chart for daily and even H4 time frames, as they are full of distorsions (particularly with Ichimoku) compared to what the majority of the market is looking at: GMT-5 or N.Y. time based charts with 5 daily candlesticks per week.
Ugh. That's a deal breaker right there

Did anybody try their debit card? The Fx conversion fees are much more competitive than Skrill.
Actually, this is the only thing that caught my eyes with this broker.
Don't give up on your dreams. Keep sleeping.

i'v compared spreads with a script between various european mt5 brokers and looks like activtrades is the best the attached pictures shows the spreads of 1minute chart usdjpy on mt5 demo accounts of activtrades,fxpro,alpari russia, forextime and swissquote. You have to divide those spreads by 10 {image}
Hey, very nice chart, good work! How did you manage to show several brokers in one MQL5 (?) indicator? Would you mind sharing your MetaTrader (?) script? :-)

Hello guys! How are you? Hope so.

I am interested in trading with this broker. The reason is that I tested the demo account and found the spreads to be very tight. Also, it is one of the few brokers that offer Ibovespa CFD (Brazil Index, my country), and that makes me very interested in them.

Even so, in my research on the broker I came across some complaints from Traders who claim to have had their profits erased. These Traders claim that after a certain amount of months making profits, the broker simply closes their accounts, disappearing with all the money acquired in operations and also invested in the brokerage. This made me very worried.

All these complaints I found on the FPA.

Could someone who uses this broker help me in making a decision?

What to say? After my wife start a account in 2015 for some bucks and do invest over the years some more money, because of the learning curve, she got now the termination of the account, without not really clear why this. Only a mail with a hint to the user agrements or so. She sent all needed documents after request, but nothing is good enough.
I have helped her to increase account over the last months really good. I think here we have the main problem. As long as trader loose and reinvest money, all is good, BUT if someone able to increase account much more as you can get through fonds or other similar investments, that trader is on the list. What else can we think? If we loose further on the account and reinvest more, why the hell a broker cut the account?

Take another broker, we would that not said if us asked back in the years.
Perfection is the enemy of good enough!

Last 2 nights the rollover swaps are wrong and everything is at 10% of the normal value. Every carry trader will see that instantly. So far the people(?) that answer in chat don't even understand what is going on and come up with the weirdest answers. I think it's a chat bot answering because a 5 year old would at some point see what is going on.

I filed a complaint via email and waiting for an answer. I guess they got a few more from carry traders...
