Spreads and fees

Spreads are often greater than those offered by other brokers. The usual score begins at 2.7 pips, which is approximately 1.5 pips higher than the industry average. Furthermore, spreads on the widely traded EURUSD currency pair begin at 3.2 pips. The spreads on Gold and VIP accounts start at 2 pips and 1.7 pips, respectively.

The information about spreads is not readily available on the internet; clients must compute it for themselves. This lack of openness isn’t exactly comforting. Large spreads might indicate that the broker is experiencing liquidity issues.

Fees for forex, indices, and commodities are not charged by the company. The platform, on the other hand, levies a 0.1 percent fee for share CFDs (or a minimum of 10 units of the base currency).

The broker’s commission rates and high spreads mean that this is not the most cost-effective broker. However, the broker does not charge any deposit or withdrawal fees, unlike some of its competitors.

Leverage

Depending on the item being exchanged, leverage of up to 1:30 is allowed. Other brokers may provide a high leverage, which may appeal to some, but high leverage bets are hazardous. Limits of 1: 30 are generally regarded as appropriate, according to the guidelines of various worldwide agencies.

• Forex-up to 1:20 or 1:30, depending on the pair
• Goods (up to 1:10)
• Indices (up to 1:20)
• CFD-up to a 1:5 scale
• ETFs (up to 1:5)
