FXTM has three trading platforms at your service.

  • FXTM Trader is the broker’s proprietary mobile trading platform. We concluded that app is very convenient to use. You can use indicators and other features on the mobile app, however, you will not be able to use Expert Advisors or trailing stop orders as these are only available through other platforms. You can use it to view live currency rates, manage all trading accounts, and open or close positions in a matter of seconds with one-click trading. The trading dashboard also allows you to see details of your trades, including profit, margin, and balance.

    I have been with FXTM since April 2019. Before that I was using two other brokers. These guys have very low spread and commission and were very good in setting me up. I’m currently using their professional account and I do find the slippage a bit higher than others when trading on major events and announcements. I think I’m trading enough now to get the free forex VPS, so I’ll give them a ring next week and see how much better that is. I also read here that some people had problems getting their money out, so on Tuesday, I did my 1st withdrawal of $100 just to test their system. As you probably know, if you deposit with a credit card, the withdrawal has to go back to the credit card (I think this is anti-laundry laws). The rest of your profits will go into your bank account. I got my $100 back into my credit card on Thursday, so all good!

    I have been with FXTM for the last 3 months after switching from another broker. I have found FXTM to be the best broker based on the following:
    1. Great and responsive customer service agents who are primary English speakers.
    2. Ability to deposit and withdraw funds in a timely manner.
    3. Personally, I have spoken with my superb account manager.
    4. Well capitalized broker.
    5. Extremely low fees.
    6. Great spreads especially with pro account.
    7. Simple and well-laid out back office that is simple and easy to use.

    A few things to keep in mind:
    1. They offer predominately forex pairs.
    2. You need to contact customer care to open accounts and also to change leverage on accounts.

    Well, I have being trading them with over 6 months. with my experience of trading over 3 years, I would say FXTM won’t give you novice attractive packages like deposit bonus (though i get special 10% being a part of specific group of traders) , loyalty cashback and exotic events like demo contest etc. but they do provide highly professional support, high speed execution, ultra tight spread. i would recommend their pro account with raw spread. withdrawals also hassle free and it get deposited within 1 working day.
    for cons, they only offer gold and silver for metals if you are a metal trader.

    I have been trading with FXTM for one year. Despite i am living in South Korea and not good at speaking English, they support me really well.
    Connection with their customer service is the top level. very quick respond and so reliable.
    I experienced couple of brokers before, but non of them are comparable to FXTM.

    My trading skills and performance are much better with FXTM.
    Me and my wife, both are happy.
    Thank you, FXTM.

    Hands down this has been the best broker I have traded with over the past 4 years of trading forex. Spreads are very low and excellent compared to other brokers. They are very responsive with all your needs and are very friendly. Would 100% recommend FXTM to anyone looking for an excellent broker.

    This is the single best broker ever created! No proprietary platform with a big learning curve, no personalized news feed, and nothing that isn’t needed.
    Now, this might seem bad, trust me it isn’t.
    Their customer support is 110/100, Ben Clay is the friendliest sales manager you will ever find, and the customer support is EXTREMELY quick. Their spreads are super tight and their executions are flash. This is truly the best broker ever.
