I have never seen such a company. I deposited and made some trades in which I made a profit, but when I made a withdrawal to get the profit, they removed my profit and they also removed my deposit amount.

I’ve had a very disappointing experience with ActiveTrade. After trading on their platform, they removed my profits 33253.79 USD without any clear explanation. Even worse, they have refused to return my real money, which has been a huge source of stress for me. Account # 987491😡

Cheater broker, scam broker, froude broker, thief broker. I had 1543 dollars in my account, I waited 2 weeks with a withdrawal of 500 dollars, but the withdrawal was not granted and my trading account was closed. After 2/3 days they took all the dollars from my account. I spoke to customer service about this and he told me that he gave me all the dollars but gave me nothing and he told me a complete lie.I sent an email to the official email of Active Trade regarding this matter but they did not reply me at all.

Activtrades offers not just conventional assets, but even digital tokens like ETH, BTC and many others. I highlighted this because it’s quite uncommon for brokers that are headquartered in the United Kingdom to offer Cryptocurrencies. The fact that ActivTrades is able to suggest crypto tells a lot about their influence in the trading industry and they have power before the regulator. Btw, even spreads on ETH were tight enough to not lose a lot on trading costs.

I knew that the new year would start with a big green candle on BTC. I expected BTC to bounce back from the $85.000 key support level. As a result, the price reached almost $91.000. I think it’s not the end, we’re still in the beginning stages, be prepared to capture big trends on altcoins also. I won’t be surprised if BTC hit $140.000 this year. Nothing is impossible. The only minus is that ActivTrades can’t boast of favourable spreads on cryptocurrencies.

Among other brokers, activtrades seemed to be the most reliable. Our FCA UK licence, proven track record since 2001 and access to tradingview as the bonus, to what is actually made me join them. Though, I can’t recommend them, if you’re an algo trader or scalper. There is no zero account or some API to feel comfortable, if you follow this strategy. For other trading styles, solid option.

As a long-established brokerage firm, ActivTrades delivers solid basic functionalities with reassuring speed and stability. However, there is room for improvement in user experience aspects such as deposit/withdrawal notifications and interface fund records. Overall, it leans toward the conservative side, making it suitable for investors who prioritize compliance and educational resources.

When I signed up for the first time, seeing how a broker offers their proprietary platform, made me curious and I wanted to test it immediately. After using it for a while, I gotta say, this is much better than mt4 and mt5 versions, they collaborated with TradingView, so I could use the same interface when I was analyzing on TV before. I don’t need to switch between platforms anymore, if you know what I mean. So staying here further was reasonable.

Initially i thought have basically one option for account type to choose from, talking from the perspective of an average retail trader, not a high roller, is a bit limiting. But anyway, i like the trading terms, they fit my style and decided to go ahead. Now, from this perspective I can say that there is no need for other account types. This one fits all trading styles. The spreads, the overall costs are good.

I like the integration of TV platform here. Even though the connection sometimes is not perfect, but it is worth because the platform has so many powerful indicators and overall charting is smooth. Tools are helpful, I plot them in orde to understsand what pattern is formed and where the trend is going... Spreads are ok, not super tight as I wanted, but normal

I tried both demo and real accounts. It was a gradual transition from cexperimenting to trading my real money on MT5. Did ETFs and commoditiies on top of forex. Demo is great, the same tools, the same speed, the same execution. With real got no problem either.

nice to see that visa has no comissions for withdrawals and deposits. But bank transfer has the withdrawal fee, though it's not much, but I think some would favour this over the card. I have used both of these methods, but the last withdrawal I made was by Skrill, which seems to be the best because you wait much less. At the end of the day, you will choose the method you like the most.

Unlike most of other cfd brokers where the education is only for newbies, here they put more focus on useful education, chats, webinars, or whatever you wanna call them, in a way that even experienced traders would like to follow and learn a thing or two. The Monday Matters series especially. It’s like weekly digest with some trading tips included on each session

For a long time, I conducted my analyses on TradingView, and with some other providers, it was okay to perform my analyses with the TV and then switch to MT to trade. But here, I no longer seem to need to jump around. Trading and analysis in the same place is comfortable, and ActivTrades is much better.

I love the fact that they support many sports teams and have a significant presence, both online and offline. This is not some low-level broker just trying to survive. For me, who mainly trades stocks, it's a real boon thanks to the high leverage available for short selling. It's generally easy to predict a downturn over a 1 to 2-day period, and that's when I engage in short selling. Not often, but almost always once every two to three months.

I'm skeptical of any platform that doesn't allow traders to practice using their strategy in a safe environment. Not using demo too often, but I'm really into trading micro lots

Therea are different platfroms availbe here from ActivTrades, but the one that desrves attention is their ActivTrader. it is my main platform, it wins with its user-centricity, fast execution and special features. The one I particularly like is Progressive Trailing Stop, helps me control risks and protect capital. When a trade goes in my favor, i adjust the orders so that maximize profts. However. i am not always happy with spreads here, not always that tight

I made my first deposit so long ago that I dont't really remember when it was... 4 months ago, maybe The thing is that I use this broker for trading on the side and don't have a lot of time to dedicate to the markets so my progress have been quite slow. Up until recently I wasn't even sure if I will be able to withdraw my profits or not but everything ended up being fine. Trading right from the tradingview app without swtiching platfroms back in forth definitely helped me

Talking about both the company and mt4, since 2007, quality has not been compromised. Solid broker for a solid platform situtaiton.

There are lots of special utilities that only customers of activtrades have access to. Example: smartorder module for one-click trading and other functions, exclusive indicators (yeah, on basis of famous indicators as it is hard to invent new indicators). On top of that, this is trading that defines any broker and for me shares trading with the broker is very transparent, I am satisfied.

ActivTrades + tradinview is the best possible combo, I am pretty sure. Not only they offer it for all devices, I can trade it from TW website as well, where I have all my charts sorted and made convenient ;)

ActivTrades offers an Islamic account, which is great for traders who need swap-free options… but what about traders following other beliefs Is there a similar account for Buddhists lol. The execution is smooth, but more transparency on fees would help.

With ActivTrades, withdrawals are as quick and easy as grabbing cash from an ATM - just a few clicks, and boom, the funds are in your account! 😀 On most of the payment methods, they don’t charge any fees, but there is a commission when you use a bank wire. This is a small drawback, but luckily the fee is not large.
