Review

Service use: Live Length of use: over 1 Year
Last year in january I invested 5K euros in a Iapetus automated strategy offered by trade.com.

At that time the system'd been running for 12 months already and showed an amazing +42 yearly ROI with above 2 sharp ratio. As per my factual experience, 2021's performance of the strategy showed +19,47% ROI with a sharp decreasing to around 1.7 due to two losing months when the system lost 5 and 6% in may and in december respectively.

The average is still very pleasant so I keep on going.

That’s a good broker if you don’t trade currencies

Service use: Live Length of use: 3-6 Months
I think that it could be a very good broker for you but on the condition that you don’t trade currencies. It’s because this broker doesn’t offer very high leverage.It’s not good for those traders used to trade currencies with 1:500 leverage or higher.
Nevertheless, if you don’t trade currencies, you can earn good money trading commodities or cryptos with the broker because these already liquid assets don’t need high leverage.

This is a good opportunity.

Service use: Live Length of use: 0-3 Months
I think most people might not understand what this broker has to offer. Because there is a lot here.
Luckily I am not like that and I was glad when I found out what services Trade.com offers. In fact, I didn't think that a CFD broker could offer a portfolio management service.
I think it makes sense. Now many people are looking for this, and besides, many traders would like to invest the money that they earn on trading.
This is a good opportunity.

Cryptos and majors

Service use: Live Length of use: 3-6 Months
I trade major pairs and cryptos with this broker. Well, leverage for currencies can’t be called high - just 1:30, but it’s not a problem for me because my trading strategy suggests moderate risks and very intensive trading throughout the day.
I opened a trading account on Webtrader because their Metatrader doesn’t support cryptos. I don’t like that they don’t provide the same assets for both platforms but it’s not me who imposes rules there. As for the technical side of trading here, I can’t complain because everything flows smoothly. It feels like the broker has good liquidity providers.
In my trading I mostly rely on price levels and Bollinger Bands. I often work in a range on M5-M30 timeframes.

I chose this broker to trade cryptos and something more

Service use: Live Length of use: 3-6 Months
At first I expected anything special from this brokerage company. I just thought that it could be another broker to trade digital coins. The choice of cryptos was not very impressive, although these were the most liquid and popular coins, which is not so bad. What’s more, I liked their web platform, Webtrader if I’m not mistaken.
You know today cryptos are one of the most promising assets. I thought I would be trading cryptos and nothing more. However, once I surfed one more time on their site an idea to try ETFs came to my mind and it was the right move. Now I can say that I like to trade ETFs. It’s no less beneficial than crypto trading.
