The analytical department has developed a corporate trading terminal called ActivTrader. Now traders can fully earn on the basis of this platform.
The largest international STP broker ActivTrades provides those wishing to devote their time to online trading with access to the interbank market, where currencies and more are exchanged around the clock.
A dealing centre specialising in forex investing, Spread Betting, and CFD trading, it offers trading in basic and Exotic pairs, and a variety of CFD contracts, which include such underlying assets as:
- European and US equities;
- futures;
- bonds;
- precious metals;
- stock indices;
- commodities.
According to the official ActivTrades website, the main office of the broker is currently located in the United Kingdom, but in the year of its foundation (2001) the company was registered in Switzerland under the guise of a small brokerage house.
ActivTrades is now an independent European broker officially based in the financial centre of the UK capital.
As the broker executes clients’ orders using NDD technology, the trading conditions do not specify any restrictions on the volume of transactions or their number.
Regulation and Client Deposit Insurance
ActivTrades, a UK intermediary company headquartered in London, is authorised to conduct financial activities in accordance with the established rules of its regulator, the Financial Conduct Authority. The Financial Conduct Authority has granted the company a licence in due course.
Due to its membership in a special compensation programme in the field of financial services, namely FSCS, all client trading accounts are insured. The maximum sum insured is 500 thousand GBP. At the same time, the minimum insurance policy is £50k.
Thus, the broker claims to be a safe broker, as it guarantees the safety of client funds, concentrated on deposits. It should also be noted that the funds are in different, generated accounts, so ActivTrades cannot use the funds in any way for other purposes than to ensure the client’s trading.
On this basis, it is safe to say that the broker values its reputation by making payments to clients without exception, as it operates under the supervision of the FCA.
ActivTrades reviews have confirmed this information, moreover, no confirmed customer comments were found online regarding withdrawal delays.
For example, an ActivTrades client writes that the company always settles debts, and live service support from a real office makes you trust the broker with your money.
Another review that came to the eye testified that the market is dominated by offshore companies, while AT operates cleanly and pays taxes directly in the country where it has an official representative office.
Advantages of co-operation with the international broker ActivTrades
The strategy behind the broker’s work is the potential growth of clients in the trading sphere. The mission is closely intertwined with trading conditions/instruments, new technologies, reliability and responsiveness to its clients.
For example, the company has an automatic system of immediate order execution without any intervention from the dealing desk. This allows to open favourable and maximally accurate deals on currencies.
The obvious advantages of ActivTrades include: transparency, commission-free operation, low spreads (from 0.5 pips), reputation, personal training programmes, security, 24/7 support (24/5) and quality service in fourteen languages, a decent range of functions, indicators for market participants.
Profitable trading at ActivTrades is due to the extremely accurate five-digit prices. Clients are provided with a maximum leverage of 1:400, which means that the company offers micro/mini lot trading. In this case, the trader has the opportunity to better manage his funds.
AT has developed a rewards programme, the essence of which is the earning of points by clients while trading any asset, which can be exchanged for prizes.
The broker’s disadvantages include a very poor choice of payment means for deposits and withdrawals, the absence of Islamic accounts, as well as rare cases of price slippage from the previously set Stop Loss for the worse.
Trading conditions/tools and deposit/withdrawal methods
On the official ActivTrades page there is a wide list of products, the purpose of adding them was to personalise the trading experience for traders/investors.
For forex trading, this broker offers 600 instruments:
- more than fifty currency pairs;
- gold/silver;
- oil of well-known brands;
- cryptocurrencies;
- CFDs on indices/shares, etc.
Trading operations on the above assets can be performed on two convenient and proven terminals – MT4 and MT5. There is a MetaTrader mobile application for those who like to trade via tablets/smartphones.
The analytical department has developed a corporate trading terminal called ActivTrader. Traders can now fully earn on the basis of this platform.
It is noted that the software is equipped with all the features required for experienced traders to trade. The management notes the feature that allows one-click trading.
Trading accounts in the company correspond to the names of the platforms (MetaTrader 4 and MetaTrader 5). The minimum initial deposit is 100 USD, but funds can be deposited in EUR, CHF or GBP.
As stated earlier, many people complain about the small list of deposit/withdrawal methods. To replenish your trading account, you can use bank transfer services, credit cards or universal cards. From electronic payment methods there are only Skrill, Sofort and Neteller.
Regional restrictions and ActivTrades rating
On specialised resources, forums and other sites with lists of brokers, residents of Russia treat the ActivTrades broker with distrust, because recently residents of the Russian Federation have been denied access to the services of this company.
The matter is that since the end of September 2016. The Central Bank of the Russian Federation adopted new regulatory rules, so the British ActivTrades has no right to open real trading accounts for residents of the Russian Federation.
Despite this, as the company’s representatives report, ActivTrades will continue to service the existing accounts of Russian clients, but will not be able to open new ones until it receives a licence from the Central Bank of the Russian Federation.
We would like to add that at the moment the services of this broker are not available on the territory of Germany.
The rating of ActivTrades is expressed by average places in the lists of verified Forex brokers. It is noticeable that the broker’s potential in Russia has not been unlocked, but Russian-speaking clients living in England have never mentioned fraud on the part of the company in their reviews.
An Internet search on the request ‘ActivTrades blacklist’ led to the fact that the broker does not appear in any suspicious lists.
