Very EXcited!
December 27, 2021

I want to tell you that I am very happy to trade with the broker ActivTrades. When I first opened an account, I realized that this is what I need. These charts and indicators... how mesmerizing it was. I realized that I had found something that I would be doing all my life.
I read tutorials from morning till night and traded on a demo account. I really needed to learn how to trade profitably!

I can say that the main reason for me to come to this broker was the fact it doesn't charge fees. It is very important for me because when I don't need to pay a part of my profit to the broker, it encourages me to trade more actively.

There are many reasons why you can love ActivTrades broker. But for me, the main reason why I opened an account here is, of course, experience. The broker has been working for 20 years. Experience is always important. In addition, this company is trying to provide a modern trading environment. For example, the MT 5 trading platform and the exclusive technical tools known as "SmartTools".
In addition, the broker has three regulations... if to be honest, idk other broker like that.

Awesome broker
December 9, 2021

This broker does a lot of things to my liking. I wanna say it's a cool thing to trade currencies here because the broker gives awesome spreads on this stuff and it's especially true for major currency pairs. Spreads on minors look less impressive but they are still good to my mind.
Here I trade mostly currencies. Conditions on majors are better as I told above, but I more like cross pairs because they are much easier to trade.
Beside this I very welcome the recent introduction of cryptos. I'm also interested in cryptos, so I'm gonna try this stuff too.

My profit is more
December 7, 2021

The broker offers three platforms for trading:
1. ActiveTrader
2. Metatrader 4
3. Metatrader 5.
And I was not very successful at first, but then, after going through a one-on-one course with a manager, my results improved significantly and I even started to make some profits. Now, after half a year my profit is more or less stable. I even withdrew money a couple of times! Before, I often had losses. I am grateful to this team for the great service!

I remember this broker first drew my attention about a month ago. I liked its trading conditions. In particular, I appreciated commission-free trading and also good spreads on currencies. However, by the time I learned about the broker I didn't decide to immediately join it. The reason was that the broker didn't support cryptos and I was all overlemed with the idea of crypto trading at that time. I even temporarily quitted currency trading, although I had been trading currencies for more than three years.
Fortunately, this broker recently added cryptos. I occasionally noticed it several days ago. It made me immediately sign up. Once I joined it I started to trade cryptos but over time I also stated to trade USD/JPY - one of my favorite currency pairs.

I came here to trade
December 2, 2021

I came here to trade on a wave of enthusiasm, when I was trying to find patterns in currency trading and it always seemed to me that I was one step away from success.
I started trading here on their proprietary trading platform on a tablet, because I like the versions without installation.
When working with a personal account manager I was quickly able to understand my mistakes, primarily psychological ones.
I was one step closer to success and now I often trade with profit. For beginners there are great video tutorials, don't be lazy to watch, a lot of useful information.
As for the withdrawal of money, there are no delays.

Nice web-based platform.
November 28, 2021

I get everything I need from the proprietary software of this broker called ActivTrader. This web-based platform has an intuitive workspace, many tools for research and analysis, as well as well thought-out functionality.
The ActivTrades broker protects me from risking too much as the leverage is capped. Regulatory authorities ensure the security of my funds here, so I feel safe and keep working on my trading skills.

I spent a long time looking for an honest broker, but nevertheless I don't regret anything, because in the end I found what I was looking for. Now I trade at ActivTrades broker and I am fully satisfied with the trading conditions. Withdrawal at the broker is free, no fees for credit cards as well as for e-wallets.
I have withdrawn money many times before and if I create a withdrawal request before 12 noon the money arrives the same day.
If you need to contact technical support, there is a chat room on the broker's website which is available 24 hours a day.

I have to be sure!
November 24, 2021

I recently decided to register an account with ActivTrades broker. But first, I will open a demo account and try to trade this way because I need to learn how to use the trading platform well. Here the minimum deposit is $ 500 and for me this is not little money. So I have to be sure!

The broker has many assets in several trading platforms: ActivTrades web-based software, desktop and mobile versions of MT4 and MT5. The reputation of a reliable broker speaks for itself given the tightest regulation possible.

My experience with Forex at ActivTrades is not so huge, but there are already some results. I believe in getting rich out of this market of financial services. Since my investments are very small compared to big players like major banks, so my winnings are negligible, but compared to my average salary it is not bad.
Also, at first you can try to work with virtual money, learn, see how it works without really spending any of your money, and you can open an account more than once.
And there is a great choice of withdrawal methods, i. E. the broker himself has created all conditions for earning money. All that is required from a trader is your mind and ability to analyze, and again, it's very convenient that all this information is displayed right in your account.

I recently started trading with the broker ActivTrades. This broker was previously unknown to me, but I liked some of the trading conditions and therefore I decided to try trading here
It's hard to say that this is a special company. Here the leverage is 1:400. Many brokers have this higher and therefore I do not think that there is an advantage here.
The broker also provides a standard set of traded assets. Everything is like everyone else.
I like the fact that there are several trading platforms including MT5 and MT4. ActivTrader is also normal, but I think that something needs to be improved here.

I don't have much time to trade manually as it should be. I mean the possibility to analyze the market every day and open and close trades from my home computer. Ideally I would like to spend at least three hours on trading every day, but I don't have such an opportunity because my full-time job prevents me from doing this. Fortunately, I found a good solution to my problem. I just decided to trade on the go. This broker came in handy because it offers a very suitable trading platform for this - ActiveTrader.
I allocate about an hour a day to make market analysis. I do this in the evening. The rest of the week I trade each time I have time to enter the market from my tablet. I find it very convenient.

I occasionally learned about them from activtrades reviews. I remember that many reviews had to do with their web platform ActiveTrader.
I should say that I often use web platforms with different brokers because they are usually light and user-friendly. That's what I value in them. Of course, you might argue that web platform are designed to trade on the go and respectively they are always inferior to desktop platforms in terms of functionality. I don't care about this popular idea because I don't need top-notch functionality. Web platforms come with all the necessary indicators. I mean the most popular ones, such as Stochastic, Moving Averages, Bollinger Bands, MACD. That's enough for me and I don't need anything else. Afterall if you lack attention, even the most advanced indicator will not help you. To my mind, trading is all about closely watching price levels.

This broker attracted me by the fact that it has several speacil awars and it adds reliability to this broker. For me, it's very important to have a reliable broker because nowadays there is a risk to face unreliable ones. As for conditions, then I can note fast order execution with no requotes an rejections, rapid responses from customer support teams (it's very singificant for me).
Moreover, we can see that there is no very high leverages, because this broker chose more conservative path with a bias toward safety of deposits.

Activtrades is a regulated broker which was founded about 20 years ago. It means that it is the broker which deserves a trader's trust. I really liked the fact that there is negative balance protection. This feature helps me trade with leverage without the fear of going into red. More than that, I liked the tools which were created by the activetrades experts which facilitate analysing the market. They help a lot.

I trade three strategies
October 22, 2021

I started my acquaintance with forex with the help of this broker. I was trained by him. I have been trading for three years now. With varying success, of course. But on the whole I am in profit. I am quite happy with the quality of ActivTrades services. I don't really care if the withdrawal is not always quick. I know that they will be transferred. What I really like about ActivTrades is the trading platform. I trade three strategies at once and have no problems.

I think that one day every person has the opportunity to change their lives. It happened with me when I just decided to open an ActivTrades demo account. I was just wondering how to trade the financial markets.
After that I decided that it would be nice to do this as my second job. This is how I started trading with ActivTrades.

I have been trading with this broker for more than a month. For the first week, I was all involved in manual trading, but then I noticed that the broker had a bunch of worthy features at hand. I'm talking about its custom indicators and trading robots. As of now, I'm particularly interested in Smart Pattern that points to already emerged patterns on charts that I may overlook and and Smart Lines, which is a robot, trading in a range. Smart Pattern has already helped me to open some trades. As for Smart Lines, I'm going to test it soon.
