I was attracted by the official regulation and history of the operation. The thing is that my first broker didn't meet the requirements of not even sophisticated trader, but of just a normal person. That was the choice made by chance. When I realised my mistake, I started experiencing fear and some other negative feeling. So, this time I made a good choice.

First of all, they do a really great job of educating their clients. It's nice!
Second but not least, I would like to note that they have a pretty mobile app. Thus the orders remains under control as you may react wheever you need according the news for example.

As for me, I like when I have some choice and activtrades gives me the choice of trading platforms. They are all cool but I feel that they have different goals and characteristic features. For example, mt4 has already become a standard in trading community. I feel that the vast majority of traders picked mt4 as their first trading platform.
Mt 5 is a more advanced and modern trading platform which has many additional functions allowing to make more sophisticated EAs.
Activtrader is a suitable platform for those who trade manually and who don't really need that enormous functionality of professional platforms.

Analysis
February 22, 2022

I was going to open some short trades, but thanks to ActiveTrades Analysis, I saved money deciding not to short oil. In the light of the recent world events, you have to be very careful with your predictions...

THX!
February 20, 2022

For many years I dreamed of learning how to make money on forex, and all without result. Only when I came to ActivTrades I was able to build a coherent system out of chaos
Not that the broker is responsible for my success, but oh well, let's admit, you can't build a NORMAL system if the broker takes away your profits or fails to execute orders in a timely manner.

I trade on activtrades custom platform and see nothing bad to expect of it. However, I don't see anything extraordinary about the broker cause today it's possible to find enough regulated and reliable brokers, although many folks still see a problem here.
But what holds me tight? I don't know. I can't give one specific reason but at least I don't see critical bugs here and that's the reason to continue trading with the company I already know well.

A normal broker, nothing special. It doesn't kidding me and that's enough to continue trading here. As for BTC, everything is clear, that's a must-have asset for anybody today. NZD/USD - I just likes how it performs technically and it doesn't require as margin as majors. Perhaps, later I will try smth more here.

Comparatively strong broker with its own peculiarities. I would characterize it like that. It's kinda difficult to judge when you have changed so many broker as I did. In my opinion, the main function of a broker is to be a mediator among you and the market. Moreover, it should help give you help whenever you really need it. This broker handles these tasks. I applied to client support couple of times when I couldn't find out how to register here and I was explained in details how to do it. So, basically, you will receive help definitely here.

Activtrades still offers a good choice of trading platforms to the traders like:
1. Metatrader 4
2. Metatrader 5
3. Activtrader
I feel that those people who don't tend to use some exotic trading strategies and those who are not interested in building their own indicators or EAs should definetely switch to activtrader! This platform is much more convenient and easy to navigate than the professional trading platforms mentioned above! This platform has everything that a trader needs for the proper market analysis including different indicators and graphical tools.

I am glad that I managed to learn how to use the trading platform.
This was what I feared the most. This software turned out to be simpler than the other ones I've tired.

Help for beginners.
February 1, 2022

I think that one of the main advantages of trading with Activtrades is that it has opportunities and help for beginner traders.
Firstly, the good thing is that there is access to the MT5 trading platform...
This is a very functional tool not only for trading but also for qualitative analysis, and this is very important.
In addition, it must be said about the exclusive set of analytics features that are here. This is SmartTools.
And I also want to say that all traders can be calm about their deposits, because here everything is stored on segregated accounts and there is protection against a negative balance.

Activtrades claims that their priority is customer service and client protection. Actually, I was lucky to notice this feature as I had couple of questions, concerning the conditions and I had to apply to customer support. They politely explained me everything.

It all started with the fact that I just opened FXCC demo account and started pushing one or another buutton.
I thought it was very fascinating LOL.
Other traders named the following pros:
- narrow spreads;
- scalping is allowed;
- good leverage on all types of assets.
Of course, at first I did not quite understand all this because I was a beginner, but there was a very great desire to start making money. So I learnt why it's important to have as small trading fees as possible. Learnt price action. Learnt how to manage risks and use leverage wisely.
It was harder to study technical indicators and analysis. But you need to know this, since this is essential for profits.

I made a decision to join this broker after I reviewed their spreads. I found them attractive enough for scalping. Another thing that encouraged me to register a trading account with the broker was commission-free trading. I like when brokers charge no extra fees.

Cool broker.
January 13, 2022

Activtrades has lots of advantages which make my trading troubleless and easy. First of all, it is my psychological factor. I mean that I feel calm and relax about the safety of my money bearing in mind the fact that the broker has three of. Regulations. Secondly, I didn't have any troubles of switching to the broker cuz it supports the trading platform which I got accustomed to which is mt4. I am really happy that I didnt have to change my trading habits while many fx brokers have the tendency to create their own platforms which need time to learn.

Interesting conditions
January 12, 2022

This broker grabbed my attention mainly because it has a really long way of working on the market. I trust only reliable brokers and I advice all traders to comply with the same rules. There is negative balance protection and this function, as I think is really suitable for novices on the market. Minimum deposit here is 500$ and this fact means that the broker cares about your funds. The more money you will deposit, the less chances to lose it all you have actually. However, I always advice traders to start from demo account.

I chose ActivTrades.
January 12, 2022

I have been trading here not long ago. Perhaps I will not trade here all my life, I don't know. I am still a beginner.
I chose ActivTrades because it is a very experienced and reliable broker. This is important for me!
I think it is for other traders too.
Of course, in addition to this, the broker tries to provide the functionality that a modern trader needs:
- low spreads;
- a large selection of assets;
- Smart Tools.
I just didn't like that the minimum deposit is $ 500.
This is not easy for some people.

A reliable company
January 6, 2022

ActivTrades is a reliable company and they are transparent, I am satisfied. I've been trading with them for three years now, no questionable situations have arisen. They do not cheat, they always withdraw on time and the support is of a top quality.
Their trading platform ActivTrader uses the latest technology to support trading. There is also an opportunity to become a professional trader and take advantage of the improved trading conditions.
In terms of training, everything is fine here as well. I hope everything will be at least as good as it is now.

The problem for most traders in the market is exactly the lack of information or too much information, when you just don't know what to grasp at or what to do in general.
They create ready-made analytics and some training webinars, reviews, which really help (if you spend some time) to systematize it all and learn to work at least a little bit better.
I am absolutely delighted.
