My experience trading in FXOpen still fine

Service use: Live Length of use: over 1 Year
I have been using the FXOpen broker service for several years, lately I often use the Ticktrader platform because it can access all CFD markets. Withdrawals are still smooth and don't face any problems, sometimes the process takes less than 24 hours.

Manipulators and not reliable

Service use: Live Length of use: 0-3 Months
Another broker to avoid, two reasons and both critical
I have noticed price manipulation as can be seen with other comments from traders. Recently dow jones 8 june 1% drop instantly no other broker, no news just dow jones.. this is pure manipulation to stop out traders at max loss. Again Nasdaq today 12 june.. same instant drop and back up 1.4% drop. I have seen this with many brokers and take screen shots.
Second reason to avoid the international accounts have no wire transfer, only card or other. How can one deposit 10k with card, this is nonsense, because banks do not trust them that is why. You will see this with many scam brokers, i stopped at this point but now to see price manipulation this must be more frequently since ive seen it in a week, this is seriously criminals, anyone affected should seek assistance.

Automatic Withdrawals Facility

Service use: Live Length of use: over 1 Year
I have been using this broker from 2 years and they provide the Automatic withdrawals facility with the Bitcoins so i can get my funds very fast. As i am trading using their ECN account the spreads remain on the interbank rates so the trading also becomes easy and profitable with them.

I can say for sure that this broker is trustable.

Lowest ECN spreads

Service use: Live Length of use: over 1 Year
I have done trading with more than 6 brokers, but finally i choose FXOpen as they were giving the lowest ECN spreads and also the orders flow was very fast.

As a News trader i needed more liquidity from the markets and they provided me that. The most important thing for any trader is the speed of order executions and they were best in terms of their server response times.

I can also use my Expert Advisers with them thru the use of the VPS service. Withdrawals done thru the Bitcoin were very Fast and also Automatic.

different candles from other brokers

Service use: Live Length of use: 3-6 Months
you can check on the XAUUSD pair, on 2021, 8, 4, 14:45 time, there is a different price movement from other brokers, where the movement is very dangerous, up to 1500 pips, at that time the spread was up to 300 pips,, is there any explanation from FXOPEN's side, because I will move to another broker because I see this rot

Lower Spreads in the ECN

Service use: Live Length of use: over 1 Year
I have compared the Real time price feeds of many of the Forex brokers and i have always found the spreads in the FXOpen have been lower in the Major currency pairs. I am trading with this broker when i joined them in 2018 using their ECN trading account.

During my trading i have done many trades and made withdrawals which were paid out to me on time. I have also used the Bitcoin for my Deposits and they get processed very fast into my FXOpen Wallet.

One thing that i have found very good about this broker is the separate trading accounts for doing trades in the Crypto currencies which i do when such opportunities come into the Crypto markets.

Is FXOpen good or bad?

Service use: Live Length of use: over 1 Year
There's been talk a lot about the credibility of that company see you my personal experience with them to know that.
First of all, in terms of credibility.
So far, I haven't seen anything wrong with that company, so trading with them hasn't had any problems, and I'll give some examples of that.
As for the market movement, I've been watching the market movement, the Japanese movement, the pairs movement, comparing it to some other big companies, and I've never found any difference.
The movement of Japanese candles can vary in the timing of their closing and opening on different time frames but the price movement is fixed in such timing as other companies and this in terms of market and price movement
As far as the spread is concerned, I've found the spread on different pairs is very small, which is a good thing for this company.
Once Upon a time that company did not have a good reputation and had many problems have solved those problems now and no longer exist, the company improved their policy and changed it and one of those problems is the lot was very large but now it is very small to suit all traders
Among other problems that were present the company is trading large amounts and I think that problem is also solved now.
The company has its own platform now other than MetaTrader 4 and MetaTrader 5, which means that the company has three trading platforms
This is unlike the company's endeavors to bring new customers through the bonus, which is 10 US dollars for registration and began trading as it tries to maintain its current customers by making periodic contests almost one of the most famous of these competitions is the forex Cup competition, which reaches a total of 2000 US dollars, which are various competitions throughout the Year winners
However, the company is flawed by one thing, which is the bonus system, there are a lot of problems with it, for example, the company determined by the competition announcement about the forex cup competition, which is the publication of the announcement of the competition in other forums and in exchange for each publication a certain amount of cents and after I made those and I might say I'm less at a loss than other members, even if I saw a complaint from one of the members, he was supposed to be sent 200$, and I'm only sending him 50$, and that complaint is in the forum so far.
The disadvantages are also the lack of credibility in sending the bonus they reduced the value of the bonus and reduced competitions and also do not send the bonus where it became not enough for the member to pay the value of the internet package consumed in the work of posts and topics of the company and we hope the management in looking at this and
Other than multiple platforms, there are also many accounts such as STP and ECN and many withdrawal and deposit methods, both direct and indirect
And other people are good at dealing with trading and did not happen to me any problems with trading or withdrawals filing to the Warren's of good companies that will developing a large in the next period is what the company is trying to do now of the improvements and interest of the company
One of the most important features of the company
Account count and low spread easy withdrawal and deposit
One of the most important disadvantages of the company
Weak technical support and problems of the Arab section and bonus

My Trade with FXOpen

Service use: Live Length of use: over 1 Year
I've dealt with them over the past year and gained significant experience in the trading of their way and I see it's from a reputable company that respects the customer and maintains he has them
One of the most important features of this company is trading options and the diversity of accounts and contracts they have STP accounts and ECN accounts and they have many currency pairs that can be traded on them major currency pairs and secondary currency pairs also can through them also trading digital currencies and they work throughout the week i.e. you can trade digital currencies at any
As for their spread is very little either on the account of STP or ECN and for the account of ECN is almost no spread is in some currency pairs does not exceed four points and sometimes a point or two points and for the account of STP the spread starts from 10 points and even 24 points such as trading on the Japanese yen / US dollar the company's all on their own.
Features
The company is characterized by low spread, easy trading and the availability of several platforms that can be traded on such as MetaTrader 4 and MetaTrader 5 and they also have their own platform
Easy withdrawal and deposit and many methods of withdrawal and deposit, we mention the former escrill bank, WebMoney and benefit money, there is also the company's own document and also the withdrawal by credit card or bank transfer, all of which is considered one of the means of withdrawal and deposit with the company
Disadvantages
Mention some of the enemies that the company is not good at dealing large amounts of this I didn't see or notice it during the deliberative with them because trading with them no more than $ 200 and did not find any problems until now.
Their technical support service is very weak and they can rarely solve the problem because they do not have all the powers to solve the problems
The technical support service in Arabic is almost non-existent at work for only one hour and on Friday only
The bonus for the Arab section is not enough for the effort and fatigue of members to participate in competitions and write topics, etc.
There is always a manipulation of the terms of the competitions after they are over so that the members do not get their bonus
One of the worst flaws in the company is the insufficient bonus system and also it is manipulated and not sent completely to the members so the members began to work for other companies and forums

Nov 24, 2020 - 5 Stars hello traders my name is mona makien i want to tell you about my experience with FXOpen , i am a old women and was hard to belive in that new things to me , but my nephew convised me to try it , and i did by little money at first but i found that i lose , so my nephew start to learn me how to trade , and he advise me to read about the trading in FXOpen forum that is wroten by many language , from this time i found my self earn some money , about FXOpen they are honest , and the dealing with them so easy , so my advise to all new tradres , read more about trading in FXOpen forum , then start in save way with FXOpen

My review of FXOpen

Service use: Live Length of use: over 1 Year
My evaluation of this company after about two years of trading with them, and I will speak with all impartiality about the most important advantages of this company and the most important shortcomings
Prices can be from respectful and honest companies that can be traded with a low spreads. For example, you find that the spread for the pair of the US dollar against the Japanese yen is 14 points. That, and sometimes it is lower, the market is an active stock and you find the spread for the US dollar against the Canadian dollar is 16 points. Only and also the euro against the US dollar, the spread is only 13 points. As for gold against the US dollar, the spread is 20 points, and sometimes more than that.
I had the experience of trading on risky days, especially on Christmas holidays in December and January, and it is known that many traders do not prefer trading at this time of the year due to the high risk and market fluctuations in these two months.
Over the past two years, I have been trading at this time, especially after December 25, and no fluctuations occurred in the market and I won from this trading. All there is, the market movement was only slow, but no fluctuations occurred and I won from trading and this is what I remember well because I was very worried that I trade at this time
Among the features of the company
We have said the low spread, and the most important thing is not to be afraid of trading on holidays and fluctuations. One of the additional advantages of the company is that it carries out periodic contests between traders and various contests to obtain an additional bonus for trading with it and always encourages traders to trade and does not skimp on them with information as there are forums for the company with all Languages have a multitude of information and members ’experiences in trading. It is also noticeable that the company’s activity in previous years has made remarkable progress and has worked to correct past mistakes and has improved a lot. Now the company also gives a free registration bonus as an encouragement to new traders and always comes with offers and discounts for traders to encourage them to continue trading
Company flaws
Among the most serious defects of the company that I notice is technical support, there is technical support and is quick to respond, but I do not find that it has all the powers to solve the problems of members and traders, so it often does not solve problems or takes more time to solve them
Also, I heard that the company is not good at trading on large amounts, and this frankly, I did not try it because I usually trade on small amounts, which are less than $ 250, and I did not find any problems with the company in trading from withdrawal, deposit and trading, so the evaluation in this regard is very good
One of the biggest defects of the company is the Arab section, so it is known that Arabs are those who love to gamble and trade through forex, and that company is not good at winning the Arab customer to it, and this is for several reasons, the most important of which is Arab technical support, which is one of the biggest flaws of the company, as there is almost no technical support for the Arab department, so the presence of Arab technical support Almost every week for an hour only and it does not solve any problems, and this is what I already tried, so I had a problem and an inquiry, and I waited a week for a response and when the response arrived a week later, I made another inquiry at the same time and I did not receive an answer to it
Among the disadvantages of the Arab section is the bonus, as the administration does not pay any attention to the bonus for the Arab section, and there is always tampering and changing conditions for not sending the bonus for members, and this also has a great impact on the company's inability to attract the Arab customer
I see the solution to this problem, which is the presence of strong Arab support all the time and the company's credibility in sending the members' bonus for the Arab section without manipulation so that the members can make the required advertising for the company with credibility. If the company is not honest with its members in the Arab section, and the bonus is sent to them on time and without any change of conditions and complications Things are so that the members do not get the bonus, and this is in addition to the reduction of the bonus that happened .. How can a company win the Arab client if it cannot maintain the Arab members?

Nov 25, 2020 - 5 Stars Welcome dear traders
My name is Heno
I'd love to share with you my experience with FXOpen
Since about 2004 I have been searching for ways to profit on the Internet and I have been doing this for several years until I realized that all of this was not working.
And then I heard about Forex brokers that I also couldn't believe in
Until some friends advised me to try FXOpen and I did it already and since around 2018 until now I am trading with them
And I have already found that I can profit on the Internet by trading forex, as sometimes I can win not a small amount of money and this is beside the pleasure of trading
I advise all new traders to try forex trading through FXOpen, because they are a respectable and honest company and have many licenses and also have many trading platforms and they also have their own new platform and a novice trader can open a demo account and trade on the demo account so that he can train on Trading knows that FXOpen is a respectable company
And another advice for a novice trader, do not rush before opening deals. Just watch the market well and when the trend stabilizes and analyze the market well, then you can make the decision to open deals.
