Truly Professional and Reliable Broker

Service use: Live Length of use: over 1 Year
After trading for 5 years with FxOpen i think now it is time to tell about my trading experiences with this broker. I started trading in the STP trading account and after trading in the STP account for 2 years i could say that the speeds of execution and the spreads were very low and stable.

For me to become a Full time trader i decided to start using the ECN trading account of FxOpen and here i could get very low spreads which also helped me in earning more profits from my trades.

I almost make my withdrawals after the trading is closed on Friday and they come in the night without fail, I am happy with this broker.

WITHDRAWALS PROBLEMS - SUCCESSFULLY SOLVED.

Service use: Live Length of use: 6-12 Months
Today I received a transfer from FXOPEN UK - the entire amount.
FXOPEN UK explained that technical issues and changes to the way Mastercard processes payouts were the cause.
They have agreed to shorten the time spent waiting for a final clarification with Mastercard and send me the funds via wire transfer, free of charge.
With this in mind, and with the overall cooperation, it will be fair to raise my rating.
Platform and order execution worked properly.
My previous payouts were coming quickly.
Good contact with the broker.
They care about their reputation.
All of this is an incentive for me to continue investing with FXOPEN UK in the future.

P.S. I would also like to thank FPA for maintaining and sharing their important website for traders.

Sep 29, 2020 - 1 Star Two weeks ago I ordered two withdrawals by card - one 2k EUR and after two days another 4.5k EUR.
So far, my payouts have not been credited to my account.
I contacted my bank, they checked exactly twice, no payment from FXOPEN UK was received.
FXOPEN UK says the funds came out of them two weeks ago but they refuse to tell me who the operator of the transaction is.
FXOPEN UK does not give me a specific answer as to what happened to my funds.
As FXOPEN UK is unable to locate funds efficiently, I wanted to approach intermediaries myself or with the help of my bank, but FXOPEN UK refuses to provide information on who is executing the transaction.

Best trade execution speeds

Service use: Live Length of use: over 1 Year
I'm very satisfied with my trading at FxOpen, as the spreads in this broker are low, the execution of the trades is fast with no rejection of orders, and the best is that I can use EAs in my trading. All my withdrawals get processed fast as well, so I can recommend this broker.

they play against the investor, lost $1.000

Service use: Live Length of use: 0-3 Months
They changed my leverage and reduced to 1:1 reducing my margin exposure so they could make margin call on my account. They switched back to 500:1 when the price was going negative and few second back to 1:20 back and forward so i dont notice the change... i have screenshot of such behaviour. Stay away they are using the Virtual Dealer plugin to play against the client.
STAY AWAY, i deposited $4.000 and lost $1.000 could have been worst if didnt close the position... a position that should have been turned into profit but after 1 month of getting profit they decided to bankrupt my balance.... what a shame of broker.

I just discovered that this broker gaps the Ask price / spread by more than 20 pips at times. I could not understand why my StopLoss was hit by only ONE point when the price (bid price) was more than 22 pips below my StopLoss (and then, of course, the price went on and hit my Take Profit target which made me even more upset because a win was converted into a loss by their price/spread manipulation.)
I then investigated further and found that they do this on a regular basis,
So how can one trade profitably with this broker if they do that? All SELL trades are in danger all the time!
I would recommend you avoid this broker at all costs if you want to have a fair chance to be a profitable forex trader.

May 9, 2011 - No Rating I am in the process of opening an ECN account with FXOpen. but although on their website they say the ECN account is ideal for scalpers when you read their Customer Agreement you get the a clause that their system is not "adapted" for scalping so when they find anyone doing scalping they can do all sorts of nasty things such as close your account, charge a penalty fee to an amount GREATER than the profit the scalper had made.
Anyone doing scalping at FXOpen and willing to leave a review?

Dear ernest02,

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. Regarding your complaint about the spread of 20 pips, we'd like to draw your attention that this was during rollover time.
We would also like to remind that market opening/closing and the time around rollover are periods when you can observe sharp market movements, wider spreads and lower liquidity. This may happen when trading with other brokers as well. That's why some traders avoid trading during this time.
If we can be of assistance, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Best regards,
the FXOpen team

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.

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
