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.
Unterstützung bei Auszahlungen, bei diesem Broker reagiert alles schnell. Das ist eigentlich alles, was ich brauchte: Schnelle Abläufe, denn Zeit ist beim Trading alles.
Hopefully, not these ECN, STP, names I have no idea about. Paying spreads, trading on their proprietary platform.Seems to be a trading xp that I supposed it would be...
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.
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.
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...
Was doing my analysis on tradingview for long time and finaally it was great to find a broket that allows you to trade where you work just signed up here opened the acc and deposited, then connected to tradingview and its been going pretty well it was a bit unique to see controls in tradingview but I got used to it pretty quickly as well conditions - they are good what I can say spreads are tight and its decent broker so it wasnt even a choice when i was looking for a new broker
It have plenty of benefits, there is no reason to add any other accs to choose from
In terms of everything, to be honest, even spreads was favourable. Below market average. Platform and other processes speak very loud about broker's quality. My best is been direct connection to tradingview platform, where I used to learn trading and continue learning it.
Why even worrying about reliability, I just picked one of the biggest brokkerages out there and the security is by default at the top because of regulations. As I thought really, the withdrawals here gets completed quickly, but it depends on the withdrawal method chosenn.
Platform usability is an esesntial factor that influences execution quality. ActivTrader's user interface is minimalist, it integrates advanced charting without lag or clutter. All my pending orders always execute at the exact price I set, but I cannot say the same about market orders. In any event, I'm striving to use only limit orders, so it's not a big deal.
Ich habe gesehen, dass sie eine Tradingview-Plattform anbieten, konnte aber zunächst nicht darauf zugreifen. Mir gefallen die Charts in Tradingview sehr gut und ich arbeite mit technischen Analysen, aber ich habe dort nie wirklich Positionen eingerichtet usw. Cool, dass der Support hier so schnell ist. Ich habe detaillierte und gründliche Antworten auf meine Fragen erhalten. Sehr freundliche und positive Leute, sie machen den Broker großartig.
Sono fortunato a iniziare con activtrades e non con altri broker. Il modo in cui è organizzata la piattaforma non si trova facilmente da altre parti. Intendo proprio il funzionamento della piattaforma, la scelta che offre. Si preoccupano di offrire webinar formativi gratuiti, e non solo in inglese, ci sono e ci saranno sessioni in diretta in italiano. Forse è proprio per questo che sto andando bene.
LEVERAGE is not smth to avoid and be afrain of, if you know how to handle it wisely, it can boost profits.
This broker gives ample leverage to catch trends and big intraday moves...
German DAX index is on my radar - it has alredy run a lot in the recent years, and I think the trend will continues.
The long swap isnt an issue, even if I hold it for multiple weeks, whereas the leverage for it x20 is far more than enough. Platform responds well. I prefer their ActivTrader for its simplicity and robustness, though other are availabe too
Ich rede hier nicht davon, eine Handelsuniversität zu eröffnen oder Kurse zu verkaufen... nur mehr Webinare vielleicht?
Been here for several weeks, and made one deposit, and made one withdrawal as well, all I going prettty good I can say. Deposit and withdrawals were with crypto, because I dont like doing cards in these matters. It was quick and as promised, no problems occured, and my mind was peace about the withdrawal anyway because it's a broker with reputation,
Of course, the fact of 20 years at the market, along with the visual modern look( I tend to buy such things) made up my mind to join this broker. And actually, I didn't need to get used to the platform or doing my analysis, then transferring the entry levels there. With tradingview that they have in their offer, I managed to trade at one place, without complications. Costs and payments were also on a decent level. The spread for my favorite eur/usd pair was tight enough 0.5/1.5 and I haven't faced any delays in withdrawal. Made it once, but still…

Live webinars is probably the most useful resource that you're going to find here, the rest of educational content was okay for me but nothing spectacular. Still, the MT4 and 5 tutorials could be helpful if I wasn't already used to trading on the platform so it depneds on who you ask I guess. I'd say the whole Activtrades experience accommodates beginner pretty well... good thing they teach them not to use too much leverage as it goes as high as 1:1000 here if I remember correctly
Thank you, Connie, for your thoughtful feedback and kind words about the webinars. We’re glad to hear they’ve been valuable to you.
Best regards,
ActivTrades Team
The individual account and its trading conditions are crafted pretty well. I think they will suit almost all trading styles, and it's good for me as a new trader who still explores different trading strategies. I like the leverage ratio, too. On forex for the 0.1 lots that i use the leverage is up to 1000x which is more than I need

Für mich waren die Vibes beim Handeln hier gut, mit minimaler Slippage und zuverlässiger Auftragsausführung.
Answer: It's possible to earn your living by trading Forex only. Some people do this, but you should realize that it's not so easy to do. You need to take several trading courses, practice trading on a demo account and then it will take several years of hard work on a real account to become a professional trader. Set your mindset to a serious and hard work.
Answer: I’ve used ActivTrades mostly for their MetaTrader support and so far, I have never had withdrawal delays. Just wish they’d extend weekend support hours
Answer: I'd say its swing trading it is for me and not even about activetrades but i just like taking my time
Answer: Forex trading especially with activtrades is a good move but while you are just starting out, having a stable source of income will help with market volatility and loses before you become profitable.
Answer: Great to know about the execution process and competitive spreads. But withdrawals time is important for me
Answer: Cool that Activtrades got a choice here, because, the interface of Metatrader and overall the process of placing orders in this certain software, might seem to be a little bit complicated for the beginner. You need to understand lots, pips, margins, many things… That’s why I think it’s better to stick to the custom Activtrader platform. It has a more user-friendly interface and easier navigation throughout the platform. I guarantee you’ll find what buttons to click to do your charts or open positions. In terms of executions and tools, no difference from Metatrader, I’d say, it even outperforms it by more attractive charts.
Answer: Well sorry to be smartypants, but if I answer your question directly, then no! By just watching, you will not get much of the results. TO improve your skills, you need to watch, take notes and then use what you have learned in your trading, and only then, with enough practise, you will improve your skills. It's the same as saying that I will learn how to box by watching all of Beterbiev's fights😂 So take this seriously and if you practise according to the webinars, then for sure, sucess will be yours.
Answer: My belief - whatever has biggest moves in short-term, Activtrades is one of VERY few ones that allows scalping and algos. Activtrades has over 1k cfds, so choose what you feel comfortable with, but preferably with at least 30-50 pips moves during a day. I would not choose stable USD assets (unless there's somethign major going on). I know lots of people trade gold here, but my personal view - the minor pairs, any JPY pairs, exotics. EUR/USD or USD/CHF is still fine ofc, just doesn't take advantage of some of the tools.
Answer: The big positive side is the ActivTrader platform: it is visually cool, at least for me, has the progressive trailing stop, hedging, a crap ton of chart types, plus the market sentiment indicator is really good to have. Its jsut a more progressive and updated version of the Mts and cTs of this world. The leverage you ask about is really low here compared to other brokers that offer CFDs trading. I've seen brokers with 1:3000 even, here its 1:400 (1:200 for most, realistically). If you want to gamble with 10 bucks, if you want the THRILLS, this is obviously not a broker for you. ActivTrades is more about safe, slow grind. They discourage using high leverage for trying cheap gains, they encourage building a winning strategy and slowly growing from there. Thats what I would say.
Answer: It is not just one thing for me... it is a culmination of all of them, because if the broker was specialized in only one aspect, it would not be enough. So everything from the trading conditions, to the trading platforms and the branding, for me, activtrades does it right.
Dear George, thank you for sharing your positive experience with deposits and withdrawals performed smoothly and swiftly.
Best regards,
ActivTrades Team
