Trading di materie prime
February 25, 2026

Ho iniziato a guadagnare bene quando sono passato dal forex alle commodities. Principalmente oro e argento che, credo, siano tra gli asset più scambiati in questo momento. C'è lo stesso hype che c'era per le crypto tempo fa. Ci sta, il prezzo è abbastanza facile da prevedere, il che mi ha permesso di iniziare a guadagnare sul serio. Faccio trading per un mese e poi chiedo il prelievo dei profitti. L'ho fatto per otto mesi di fila e piano piano sto realizzando il sogno di comprarmi casa nuova.

Sie sind nicht einfach nur ein Dienstleister, sondern meine erste Anlaufstelle für meine Trading-Basics. Ich fing damit an, mir ihre Trading-Webinare anzusehen und ihre Analysen auf Tradingview zu lesen. Ehrlich gesagt habe ich mich nicht besonders lange damit aufgehalten, weil ich es für eine weitere Marketingmaßnahme hielt. Sobald ich jedoch anfing, besser zu werden und zu verstehen, warum die Märkte auf Nachrichten und technische Faktoren in einer bestimmten Weise reagieren, hat sich meine Meinung geändert. Sie haben tatsächlich viele Dinge bereitgestellt, die man hervorragend nutzen kann. Marktgeschehen, Analysen, Webinare, Artikel. Das Besondere daran ist, dass alles kostenlos ist. Ich habe nichts bezahlt.

Mehr als nur Handeln
February 22, 2026

Activtrades ist ein wohlbekannter, etablierter Broker, der schon seit vielen Jahren tätig ist. Die Entscheidung für sie fiel mir leicht, da sie auch ein direkter Partner von tradingview sind, meiner Lieblingsplattform zum Traden (ich kann Metatrader wegen seines altmodischen Designs, das so schwerfällig wirkt, nicht ausstehen). Ich habe also ein Trading-Konto eröffnet und es direkt mit tradingview verknüpft. Ärgerlich ist nur, dass tradingview aus irgendeinem Grund jedes Mal, wenn ich es öffne, meine Zugangsdaten verlangt. Ich meine, es merkt sich meine Daten überhaupt nicht und meldet mich ab. Jedenfalls ist das ein Problem auf der TV-Seite, ich hoffe, sie lösen es. Der Broker bietet außerdem kostenlose Schulungen mit Webinaren, Seminaren und Anleitungen an. Darüber hinaus veröffentlichen sie regelmäßig Marktanalysen, die ich sehr gerne nutze. Sie bieten eine Menge Einblicke und Ideen für zukünftige Handelsstrategien.

My beginning
February 22, 2026

Heard about them from my neighbour. Used to mention their platform from time to time, and he's using the platform for trading stocks.
I registered there, started to use the demo for just seeing how trades are executed. Sure, it wasn't real-market expereince, but still it was enough to expereince the platform's work. And it worked well, I think, in my rookie's eyes. What I liked is their support team. They helped me to go through the demo settings, and I took about anhour of their day! And they stayed online with me, giving tips. The best team IMHO

ORO
February 22, 2026

La price action è super bullish! Grazie a Trump che ha frenato sulla possibile guerra commerciale con l'UE per la Groenlandia e ha deciso di non usare la forza. Appena ho visto la notizia ho capito che il dollaro si sarebbe indebolito, creando il momento perfetto per buttarsi sull'oro. Sono entrato long con qualche lotto e tengo la posizione finché non usciranno notizie diverse. Anche le commissioni di swap sono abbastanza contenute, non ho perso quasi niente.

Big history
February 16, 2026

Its one of few CFDs brokers that actually has Wikipedia about them. Huge multiple on trust, for me. Explains what they are and if they had anykind of controversy or smth. In this case, they did not.
The support they have for footbal, and formula1, extra advantage for me. ActivTrader, tried, but I still prefer MT here. Or mobile app.

Transition
February 8, 2026

I remember how I was fed up with my prev broker... what I didnt like was regular server disconnections, but yeah, they fixed it afterwards, but still spreads were not the best, and the chartig capabilites of their web-based platform were not so good. So I ofteb referred to TradingView for charting... so, one day I browsed the brokers on TV, and checked the best there - ActivTrades was there with a whopping 4.6 rating! What they also have is regular publishing of ideas and even scripts, someting few brokers do there. That is awesome!

Long story short - after checking the broker closer, I opened an account with them. Real one, I didnt want to use demo, went right away with 4k of depo. Platform selection is great, basically all major platfroms are present, both MT ones and even they have proprietary ActivTrader and ofcoz TV integrated accouunt. I use both their proprietary and TV one. I can sy that their platrom is doing well, I would say that it is even faster than TV's one... I use TV for deeper chart analysis, still assets are the same. And I use PineScript as well + the custom free scripts. For example, on TV you a chart analyssi can be done, to identify a trading opporunity, and on ActivTrader I can open the trade, I do it not all the time, but depends, if I prefer faster execution, then yeah... but both platfroms in general are robust.

My activtrades experience
February 6, 2026

Begun with a support, texted them about their accounts and some about deposit methods and how they handle withdrawals. Support took some time so I hit the help center and everything was there... spent a bit more time reading but got my answers, i like how they dont have any min depo requiremenst for a normal account. And their policy is clear on withdrawals, if you deposited by visa then your funds are going back to the same visa and its better to make sure its expiry date is not due.
One minus for me is that if you made profits intraday you cant withdraw them at the same day, and you gotta wait until the next business day meaning if its friday then you need to wait until monday so they can process the withdrawal.

Very helpfull
February 4, 2026

You can criticize activtrades for whatever you want, but you have to admit customer support is outstanding here. No matter how many times I'm reach out to them, no matter how silly questions I ask, these guys always reply to my messages in a timely manner and competently. That's quite rare among most brokers and that's what bribed me most in this broker.

Pratico
February 1, 2026

Non mi pare che ci siano particolari inconvenienti con questo broker. Se ci fossero stati problemi, avrei dato solo 4 stelle.
Con il passare del tempo direi che si sono occupati di tutti gli aspetti e sinceramente non saprei dire che cosa c'è che non va, quindi sono soddisfatto. Ho visto gente dire che devono offrire più conti, ma in realtà offrire un conto standard per tutti con gli stessi spread significa che vogliono condizioni di trading eque per tutti, e ciò mi piace. È per questo che è il mio broker ed è il terzo anno che faccio trading qui.

Mt4, mt5
January 25, 2026

Sono entrambe molto valide. Trading facile, i grafici e gli strumenti sono semplici da usare.
Ho usato mt4 per le mie coppie valutarie major, ero abituato alla vecchia piattaforma.
E mt5, soprattutto per azioni e obbligazione ogni tanto. Gli spread sono abbastanza buoni. Non posso proprio lamentarmi.
Non ho usato la loro piattaforma, activtrader, più di tanto ma penso che la proverò di più con le materie prime, ho letto delle buone recensioni in proposito

Unregrettable choice
January 23, 2026

Joined the broker's platform not long ago, and being just new I can already say i won't regtet my choice because the broker's service is top. Didn't go too much into demo - wanted the grind right away to feel all the stress, rush and full risk exposure. I did sessions on both mt4 and mt5, and liked mt5 more. More versatile in my beginner's view - felt I was about to get lost with all features, especially tc tools but approached their support, and they helped me with what and how.

I focusing on a simple eur/usd strategy. I trade on the 1h chart, follow the overall trend using a 50 ema and enter only on pullbacks. One trade per session, small lot size, No rush, just consistency, better learn gradually and on real acc.
Overall, good broker to start with. Gonna keep trading.

Famous
January 19, 2026

Honestly, I got to know about them through tradingview, because I was scrolling through brokers and finding the best one by conditions. This broker seemed to be a good trading account, and I was right. The spreads are narrow, whereas commissions are not charged. However, what really matters the most is reliability, and they are delivering it. One of the regultors is literally FCA…

Good platform
January 16, 2026

Bruh, withdrawal fee $9 on bank, I thouhgh tthey were joking O_0 maybe it was just my bank being mean, but I didnt expect to send 800 just for 791 to arrive. Screeew that.
Now I withdraw purely in card, not on wire, and hevent had any fees ever since. So I think iut had somethin to do with it.
Love the trading aspect, the activetrader is great at price alerts. Trading spreads good enough. Fee situation on withdrawl, a bit confudinsing to me.

Good choice for me
January 16, 2026

There are a few brokers that could boast of such a wide variety of services in the EU region. Ya know, most brokers have limited benefits, so stumbling upon Activtrades was like a gulp of fresh air because they offer much more than you could imagine. U want a modern platform? Here you go, ActivTrader with tradingview's user interface, u want to know more about markets? There you go, market analytics and online webinars are in your hands. U want to have fast support? Any time I reach out to them, they always answer me in a few minutes. U want to have fast deposits and withdrawals? E-wallets can be handy here. I could continue further and further. I'd especially like to highlight their background, they've been in the bizz for more than 25 years, big numbers, aren't they? So yeah, I'm satisfied with my choice. :)

Impressed by MT5
January 9, 2026

They offer tradingview too, but I just got used to making my research and my trades at one place. I think it's a nice platformn overall, and they offer many and one is not better than the other, it's just how you specifially like it. I enjoy the functionality of mt5, and I enjoy the costs by activtrades on this platform.

Tight trading fees
January 6, 2026

I traded both during high and low volatility for most major forex currencies. Honestly, I'm not afraid to trade chaotic charts as I believe in my strategy and expertise. However, the only thing that can ruin my day is huge spreads or commissions. That's why I chose to stay with activtrades in the end. The fees are stable, and don't widen much even when the cash flow is insane. Like the spreads stay below 1 pips, whereas commissions are zero. Have Allowing me to trade how I really want to.
