It has everything
October 7, 2021

Talking about my attempts to trade on the financial market, ActivTrades broker is my third attempt to learn how to trade and it seems that this time I succeeded.
It has everything a beginner needs. There are recorded seminars, webinars on the website, so you can get quality training here. I didn't get lazy and reviewed everything. It helped me in formation of my tactics which I now successfully use. ActivTrades is a broker that has serious regulation, which is done in the UK (FCA). I have withdrawn money several times, the money comes according to regulations and without delays.

Activetrades is not the first broker I works with but it is the first broker with such an effective customer service. It is always difficult to switch the broker because of the fact that different brokers have different trading conditions and different platforms.
Despite the fact that their platform is really nice and easy to use, there are still some details which need to be clarified. To tell you the truth, I had the stereotype of communication with the support team as splitting headache where you need to wait the answer for several hours or even days. However, it is not the case of activetrades. The guys who work there know their job perfectly well and they are fast in response which is amazing.

I am not fond of communicating with the support teams and prefer browse the internet in search of the answers to my question. However, recently I've come across a question during trading the answer to which I couldn't find on my own. So, I was left with no alternative but to communicate with the support team and I was surprised by the speed of the response and friendliness. Such service convinced me that it is better to get fast and accurate information from the support team.

Everything is fine
September 26, 2021

I have been trading with ActivTrades for six months and so far everything is fine. What I would like to praise the broker for is the fast execution speed, the lack of commissions and the excellent regulator. All this has made my trading experience interesting and easy.
I like the fact that my orders are processed without slippage. And the fact that the broker has a regulator has convinced me that I can trust it. So now I seem to like everything overall.

I love the fact that ActivTrades provides a choice of trading platforms. You can choose the legendary Metatrader 4 or 5 platforms, as well as the broker's own development, the ActivTrader trading platform.
In order to choose, I advise you to try it on a demo account.

It's kinda difficult nowadays to choose a proper broker for your trading activity, nevertheless traders must seriously approach to this task mostly because brokers are the reflection of your success. If you have a reliable and responsive broker, then you must be sure that everything will go right in your activity, because you start trusting it and never bother about it. This broker grabbed my attention mostly because of it's presence on financial market. It's here for about twenty years and it really tells about its reliability. Moreover, I prefer calm trading, that's why this broker is quite cautious with leverages.

Commission for safety.
September 7, 2021

It is out of the question that this broker is safe and consistent. It works for more than 20 years and there are lots of traders who work with this broker and share their glowing reviews on it. So, working with activetrades is absolutely safe and you shouldn't really worry about it. They also have decent customer service which is helpful in many situations, however it works only five days a week. I haven't come up with any urgent questions on weekends, but it makes me a bit nervous, anyway.
Speaking of trading conditions, they are fine, I don't really like the fact that there are commissions for withdrawals, when your withdrawal method is a bank card. Usually, brokers don't charge any commission fees on the stage of withdrawals, so, this is quite a unique thing.

I chose ActivTrades
September 5, 2021

I started to trade forex just recently. After studying a lot of literature and gaining very little experience, I chose Forex broker ActivTrades. First of all, because it is an old and time tested broker, which has been providing services in the market for 20 years and is regulated by three regulators. I have developed a long-term strategy for myself, which helps me to earn small profits. During all the time I worked with the broker I didn't have any withdrawal problems, which is very important and speaks for the reliability of the company.
ActivTrader platform makes it easy to make trades. Before opening an account, first of all I paid attention to the tight spreads. I have an individual account that allows me to trade microlots.

I opened a Metatrader 4 trading account here and trade cross pairs and indices. The execution is good. I can't say anything bad about execution. I would like to trade cryptos, but they are still absent here. I hope they will appear soon.

I can trade here
August 22, 2021

I can't say anything special about this broker because I never seek any exclusive features in brokers. All I want to obtain is peace of mind. It's ensured by regulation that can make any broker reliable. It's apparent that a broker with a licence can't be a scam and that's all I need.
As for the trading side, it's all quite standard. Yeah, I could say a bunch of positive words about their spreads, but that's not the thing I'm concerned about. It's because I can't benefit from spreads if my market forecast is wrong, for example. As, for now I'm glad that it's not a scam and respectively I can keep trading with it.

This broker can suit people who need good spreads and prefer to trade classical assets such as metals, indices, currency pairs. Conservative traders can work with Metatraders, while those who would like to try something new can try Activetrader, their web custom platform.
The broker offers floating spreads only. Although they are quite good, some traders need fixed spreads, but the broker doesn't offer any account with such spreads.

I have a strong phobia of young brokerage companies. It seems to me that they are all scams. Perhaps, I'm prone to exaggerating their danger and maybe not all of them are bad. Nevertheless, I prefer to stay on the safe side and respectively I choose with veteran brokers. I just don't want to rely on my luck because I know that thing is extremely unstead. Today it pleases me and tomorrow it's going to kick my $#*!. I'd better be in the hands of a proven veteran broker. That's what I found. Their leverage is a bit smaller than that one I got used to dealing with but general reliability is more crucial for me.
