Fees and Charges
The lowest margin spread for the company is above one-year low in global trading at 0.5 pips. Overnight positions incur Swap charges but with pure transparency in such regard. Islamic accounts are exempt from any charges on swaps. Inactivity practice is that even with the slightest touch of inactivity, monies have to be deducted from accounts since that is considered as inactivity by any broker's standards.

I'm absolutely thrilled with my experience using their bespoke active trader platform! Initially, I was a bit skeptical about custom applications, as I usually approach them with caution. However, this platform exceeded my expectations by offering a comprehensive set of tools for thorough market and chart analysis. The integration with TradingView is particularly impressive—it's fantastic! The customization options are another highlight; I can easily switch themes and tweak settings to suit my preferences.

This was my first experience setting up a live trading account after practicing extensively on a demo version. After gathering some modest funds, I decided it was time to take the plunge into real trading. The registration and verification process was straightforward. They requested my identification, and I submitted a bank statement to confirm the address I had entered. For funding my account, I opted to use a bank card, and to my surprise, the funds appeared in my trading account right away. The entire setup was quicker and simpler than I anticipated, taking just about an hour or so.

This company unjustly freezes client accounts with false accusations. My paperwork is completely legitimate. Having been involved in forex trading since 2017, I've never encountered a broker as problematic as this one. They even withdraw funds from your account using ridiculous justifications.
