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.

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.

Cheater broker, scam broker, fraud 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.

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.
