Scam broker that closes your position on SL while prices are 1000p away

Service use: Live Length of use: 6-12 Months
I fell victim to a scam perpetrated by this broker. My position on futures for Vix was stopped out on Stop loss at prices that were never witnessed on futures or any other brokerage accounts. This was a calculated move to cause me to incur a loss with a spread of over 1000 points twice in a row. Despite reaching out to their support team on four separate occasions, I have yet to receive any response, which leads me to believe that these individuals are not trustworthy and are likely to abscond with my funds. I would advise anyone to exercise caution when dealing with them and to consider exploring other options. They are nothing more than small-time thieves who are out to take advantage of unsuspecting traders

Scam broker very bad support

Service use: Live Length of use: 0-3 Months
They told me today that my account was closed with Jordan's license because of my request to return my money. This broker is a fraud. He stole from me on 16-02-2022 an amount of 132.61 dollars, which was deposited via Visa Card. The deposit was refused and they did not return They did not return the amount to me, and every time I talk to the support, it refuses to help and does not respond to my requests and evades the answer. I am in the process of filing a lawsuit against them with the British Financial Conduct Authority. I ask everyone to beware of this fraudulent broker

Feb 21, 2022 - 1 Star I am a trader. I heard about Admiral Market and I opened an account under a Jordan license. I deposited using a prepaid Visa Card. I did not know that the prepaid card was rejected. I deposited and the payment was suspended. I contacted Arab support and asked From them they asked for help. They asked me for an account statement for the card, proving its ownership. I sent them an account statement, as well as a copy of the card, proving its ownership. The payment has been pending for more than ten hours. After all this waiting, they refused to deposit and also refused to return the amount.They stole my money. I told them to return it, but to no avail. The fifth day, and there is no response from them except for a word, do not worry. I wish everyone not to enter with this broker, a fraud, my account number 30483514 I have all the evidence that proves that you stole money Beware of this broker is very fraud

Dear sir.
Our company has never had problems with the withdrawal and all your funds have been withdrawn to your account.
We care about the loyalty of our customers. In support, we have a team of professionals who strive to process each request in a short time and release the client with a resolved issue. The load on our employees is enormous and in order for support to continue to work stably and at a high level, the task of management is to protect their employees from unnecessary stress, insults and humiliation. Therefore, unfortunately, sometimes we have to go to extreme measures and break off relations with clients, no matter how sad and unpleasant it may be for us.

Best Regards, Admirals

Limit orders are respected! Excellent Broker.

Service use: Live Length of use: 6-12 Months
This is the only broker I've ever used that actually respects my limit orders and doesn't execute them as market orders that in itself is a 10/10 from me. The commission is better than most brokers out there and customer support is excellent. This is truly the best broker I've used. If they offered a copy service or a pamm service would make this broker truly perfect.

There is not always a fully featured company, but it is good compared to ot

Service use: Live Length of use: over 1 Year
In general, the company is good compared to other trading companies, but the problem with this company is that it is somewhat slow in developing itself in terms of the capabilities and offers it offers to traders, and I also have a large spread at some time.
It's also honestly a bit stingy company.

Abundant Choices. The best to me.

Service use: Live Length of use: over 1 Year
After having tried dozens of brokers after a decade, I have decided to settle on this broker, mainly because the number of stocks provided by them for trading is insanely numerous (over 3000 around the globe). I am an avid stock trader. The spreads and leverage are also very reasonable.

My only little complaint is that deposits by local banking are not insant, unlike the other brokers.

Quite adequate broker

Service use: Live Length of use: 3-6 Months
The brokerage proved to be quite adequate. I wouldn't say that it is really good at everything, but it is comfortable and safe to trade with it.
I liked it very much that it provides quite a lot of analytical content, such as various trading calendars, news, charts and so on. It's good, because I myself use analytics a lot. I think that without analytics, trading becomes a bit incomplete.
I have also been helped several times by the client support from Admiral Markets. It was very useful and fast, so I decided to mention it separately :)

One of my best decisions

Service use: Live Length of use: over 1 Year
Trading with Admiral Markets was one of my best decisions for sure.
It was 4 years ago, I had around $10,000 accumulated on savings account and desire to invest in trading. I was planning to try Admiral Market but my good friend kept convincing me to trade with his brokerage, so I had a long doubts about which one to choose, you know.
On the one hand, my friend's brokerage had Saychelles regulation and no education but offered high leverage
But on the other, Admiral Markets had good reputation but no fixed spreads available
Finally, I chose Admiral Markets and, yeah, I'm trading with variable spreads now (and I don't care). In fact, variable spreads are much thrifty, cause you don't overpay for 'stability'.
So, spread type isn't a problem now. By the way, Admiral Markets had one strong advantage - usefull education, I can say that 90% of my following success was informational background from Admiral markets education, cause I learned the most important trading basics that I'm still using in my everyday trading.

Admiral Market: classical trading on MT

Service use: Live Length of use: 0-3 Months
I’ve been trading with Admiral Market for two months and my impression of it is quite positive. I favor traditional trading solutions such as MT4 and MT5 and appreciate that the broker offers decent conditions to work with my favorite platforms. For example, on MT4/MT5, I can trade without commission, with variable spreads, starting from 0,5 pips, which suits.
There’s another thing I like here. That’s InvestMT5. I can start trading stocks on this account by investing just one dollar. However, leverage is unavailable in this case, but it enables me to explore the stock market without big risks.
