Opened an account with their activtrader platform. To be honest tho, I don't think it's bad at all. Still, it's not comparable to tradingview because I just think it's more pleasing to work in and look at. But still I think their own prop platform can give a fair fight to MT5 even, but tastes differ so I won't be saying one is better than the other.
Just offering tradingview itself is a great feat by activtrades, I think you can't find anywhere better, well at least when it's about cost/quality ratio.

Crypto payment
December 17, 2025

I was aghast to seeing a crypto payment there, anyway, gave it a try and it really worked, quite unusual for a broker that is headquartered in the UK. xD

Excellent service
December 15, 2025

The trading conditions are okay. Nothing flashy, but nothing short of what a trader needs to trade profably. I started slowly here, deposited $200 to check how everything works, chatted with support, made a withdrawal, and tested various engines. All went well, the support surprised me how knowledgeable they are about their platform and about trading in general.

It's a legitimate broker
December 14, 2025

I made sure that I doubt that in the title... because I think legitimacy comes first, no matter what the condiitons are, because if you have doubts about your money being safe- then forget it, nothing would make you trade. In case of activtrades, 2 decades in the market and multiple regulations are the foundation of their credibility.

Few remarks about the education,. It's one of the best here. Mr Maxwell and Paul Wallace are two geniouses in their sphere, and I have ever seen a webinar on SMC, they dont miss any trends and always ready to share some information, I guess a huge part of my trading result I owe it to them.

But just outside this they dont make any innovation I want to see some new promos and campaings they have, its gonna be great, like swap free for a month or something haha.

Just better than everybody else
December 12, 2025

Activtrades could do what others couldn't, keeping a great and credible service, under the convenient trading environment. I mean for day trading, super effective! Spread are lower than 1 pip for fx majors and they don't charge any commission, regardless of assets I trade. By the way, they've done a pretty good job to give an access to all kind of cfds, even etf and crypto.
With platform and payment, I can just keep silent! Versatile, fast, stable… Hard to beat these qualities. Just using an opportunity to appreciate their solid service.

Professional support
November 8, 2025

I want to praise their support! One of the best that I have interacted with in the industry. I prefer mail communication since it leaves a track record in case something comes up in the future. Here I like that they answer the question directly. Not just direct you to the help center, the faq, and good luck finding the answer you asked for even when it's a simple one, like what is the leverage… no, they respond to your question directly, make sure you can read more if you are interested and give you direction where to find more info, and in the end ask you if you need something more or any other question arises. In short, very professional, and helpful support

Was nice experience.
November 8, 2025

My own experience has been decent here. Stable and intuitive trading, as long as you know the common MT tools. I've tried the ActivTrader, it looks very good, but I'm just not used to it so went on to use MT either way. But there, the execution iss solid and ther was no hidden fees. Appreciate the spreads too, for stocks especially, I'm trading them more and more now with US market being so fun nowadays.
Customer supporrt is top tier. I didnt get my personal manager, I heard some brokers give that to the clients, but outside of that, all was nice.

It was only an individual acc, but as far as I know, EU traders have access to a wider range of accs. Anyway, I'm not complaining about it. The conditions are pretty good.

The manual that helped me a lot
November 1, 2025

Decided that it was time to learn some scripting with MT5, so was looking for some books on it... and apparently ActivTrades has a manual on MQL language, at first I was a bit doubtful, but after readign first pages I understood how valuble the book was. Thans to that I alreade learned some concepts, not just declaring simpel variables, but more complicated stuff, like backtesting

It suits them very much
November 1, 2025

Making a partnership with f1 suits activtrades because I think tehy are quick and i rarely get any slippage here. I am also never get any requotes which is very good, if you careful with your trades it will be ok. I just wish they had stuff like market overview each so I can get insights about upcoming chances.,

Joking of course, but still gbp/jpy was my most profitable pair here. Leverage by activtrades is nice and spread is always minimal. I just had to buy this pair again and again since april, its pretty staitght forward. I am using tradingview btw, so nice to use something comfortable and you dont need to switch between platforms.

Suits me well
October 23, 2025

I feeling activetrades is the one for beginners, because I had no problems with the registration and getting a demo account. I asked the customer service for help to navigate inside, they recommended their own education, lots of information there, didn't finish it yet, but already starting to get the concepts behind it. I mean it's free, they don't take money for education.

La sua solida e lunga reputazione
October 18, 2025

Broker fondato nella vicina Svizzera 24 anni fa, per forza è stata la scelta più affidabile rispetto ad altri broker. Lo uso da 3 anni e non ho fatto che migliorare come trader. I webinar in italiano mi hanno aiutato a capire i mercati molto di più di qualunque canale su youtube.

Trading View charts…
October 17, 2025

I guess many traders faced this little issue with their own web platform, and it was with the tradingview chart. Basically, when I open position I do a long position projection or short position projection after which I enter from there. However, the tab where I adjust the lot size wouldn't go away, and I contacted support abt it. Can't recall his name, but he helped me instantly and resolved it, so thanks to him. Apart from that activ trades is one of the best, very reliable, low fees and working withdrawals...
