I tried to withdraw my funds after a couple of months of trading and found that my withdrawal option was suddenly disabled. I have sent several emails to customer support, but no one has responded. This has been an incredibly frustrating experience, and I feel like I’ve lost my hard-earned money. I can’t recommend this platform based on my experience.

Overall, I had a positive experience with Equiti. The trading platform is user-friendly, and I found their execution speed to be impressive. I did have a minor issue with a deposit at first, but their customer support was helpful and resolved it in a timely manner. I appreciate the variety of trading instruments available.

Absolutely terrible! I lost a significant amount of money after they accused me of ‘improper trading’ without any clear explanation. My account was locked, and all my attempts to reach customer service have been ignored. I feel scammed and would advise anyone looking to trade to steer clear of this broker.

Equiti has been a great broker for me! I love the flexibility of their trading platform, and the low spreads have made trading more profitable. I’ve had no issues with withdrawals, and their customer support has always been responsive and helpful. I would definitely recommend them to both new and experienced traders.
