    Fees and Charges

    Against this background, Standard Account holders will be charged beginning from 1.0 pips on each round trip, while Raw Accounts can tout their services as costing as little as 0.0 pips. Commissions make up $3.50 per lot per side. During the night, traders with open spot transactions either collect or pay overnight swap charges, which are described transparently. Islamic accounts do not incur swap fees for overnight positions. It will cost something in the case of inactivity on accounts, controlling such behavior and allowing active trading.

    I reached out to the live chat for assistance and was pleasantly surprised by the swift response. Daniel M. was the representative who helped me, and I was genuinely impressed to be interacting with an actual person. It was a really positive experience!

    The spreads on indices were disappointingly high, and almost immediately after registering, I began receiving numerous scam calls on the phone number I provided during sign-up. This can't just be a coincidence. I'll be reaching out via email to request the deletion of all my personal data and to close my account as soon as possible. This experience is far from what I expected as a potential client looking to invest significant funds with your brokerage.
