I had a frustrating experience with the withdrawal process. It took longer than expected, and customer support was not very helpful in resolving my concerns. I would not recommend trading here due to these issues.

I was very disappointed with Proton Markets. They lack proper regulation, which makes me feel uneasy about my investments. Customer support was slow to respond, and I had issues with my withdrawal that took forever to resolve.

Proton Markets has exceeded my expectations. The MT4 platform is fantastic, and I love the range of instruments available for trading. I’ve found the spreads to be quite competitive, and support has been responsive when I needed help.
