Orbex is a highly reliable brokerage firm, offering a variety of account options that give you the flexibility to choose spreads and fees that suit your needs. They support traders by providing educational resources available in both Arabic and English, which is a great help. Depositing and withdrawing funds is hassle-free and happens instantly, which is very convenient. The platform's dashboard is equipped with numerous tools, including Trading Central and a wallet feature, and they even allow deposits via USDT, which is fantastic!

Upon signing up, I promptly received a call from their team, encouraging me to invest $200 initially. I began to see some returns, which was exciting, but soon they suggested increasing my investment.

The spreads offered were disappointing. I attempted to initiate a trade today, but it was unsuccessful, even when I reduced the trade size. Unfortunately, there was no support from the company’s help desk, and their response time was extremely poor. Overall, the customer service experience was far from satisfactory.
