Do not Affiliate with this company!
I was an affiliate with activtrades for a short period after which they terminated my affiliation without pay. They claimed the termination was as a result of my clients' trading activities that I totally have no control over. If you are Nigerian seeing this review I advise you stay completely away from this company. If you affiliate with them they will make things really difficult for your clients(Their deposit option is very easy to use for this region but withdrawal is almost impossible)and end up not paying your commissions.

Dear Precious Omotayo,
Your affiliate account has been terminated in accordance with clauses 9.2 and 9.3 of the Affiliation Agreement. This action is a result of your engagement in deceptive practices by sending us "Fraud Traffic", which refers to any activity in client accounts that appears to be under your control or manipulated with the intent to generate fees for yourself, without genuine referrals from legitimate clients engaging in authentic trading for their own benefit.
Our support team is ready to assist you promptly with any further questions or concerns you may have.
Kind regards,
ActivTrades Team
Very stable.
Using this broker kind of feels like driving a German car. It is smooth and stable, with the best tech in the industry.
The trading platforms available are impressive. The sheer number of the platforms alone is a reason to be excited about using the broker.
Available are the two MetaTrader platforms, the MT4 and MT5, and also the ActivTrader and TradingView. The activtrader is a very functional software, and you can do a lot with it.

Cancellation of $5,446.12 in Profits and Subsequent Account Closure by ActivTrade
I recently experienced a significant issue with ActivTrades. In February of this year, the company made the decision to remove profits from my account, totaling $5,446.12. They justified this action by accusing me of exploiting price differences through arbitrage on their trading platform.
However, it's important to note that my trading activities were conducted manually, a fact that was acknowledged by ActivTrades themselves.
Despite this, the profits have not been reinstated. I am currently awaiting a resolution and the return of my rightfully earned profits.
This situation raises serious concerns about the transparency and reliability of ActivTrades' trading operations.

The low levels of leverage is a…
The low levels of leverage is a nuisance to be honest. I got used to the leverages higher than 1:500 on forex pairs and here I lack this immensely.
Although I realize that high leverage can be detrimental for the beginner traders’ deposits, I think that Activtardes at least should give the choice to experienced traders to have higher leverage.
But it was a deliberate trade-off because i wanted to work with one of the most credible brokerage companies on the forex market.
So I think trading is not about finding the perfect spot for you, it’s all about the ability to make compromises when you need it the most.

Dear Chaiwat Ruangrit,
We appreciate the honest feedback from you!
ActivTrades’ leverage levels are thought through to protect our customers from the risks of the forex market.
Plus, we offer dynamic leverage for every market, so it will change according to the volume of opened positions.
We also provide increased leverage for the Professional accounts. Instead of 1:200, you can get 1:400 leverage if you meet special requirements.
For more detailed information, please contact ActivTrades client support.

If you are looking for the right broker, look no further
Straight of the bat, I was blown away by all the useful information on ActivTrades Website, I needed some help as I am new to the whole PC side of things and getting things started, so like any normal person, I asked for a call with one of their agents.
I was connected with "Joseph P" and let me just say, this absolute legend not only spoke to me on the phone but also took the time out of his day and set up a Teams meeting for us to talk Face to Face.
Joseph literally went through every question I had and even shared his screen for me to watch what he was doing and explaining all the different tools and stuff to me. Honestly, I want to rate Joseph more than 5* if I could.
I am really excited to start my trading journey with ActivTrades and knowing you have the full support of genuine people just makes the experience a whole lot better, so if you are lost on what broker to use for your trading needs, look no further.

I recently started trading with ActivTrades and I must say I am quite happy I made a decision to choose this broker. They not only met all my expectations, starting with its stable, fast and feature-rich platform, but in some aspects, they have exceeded them.
One of them is their withdrawal policy. I was surprised by how fast they processed the withdrawal inquiries. 👍
Another field is their experts’ market analyses. I knew that they provided such insights, but I couldn’t see their real benefit until I started trading with them and following these insights. They are treasure trove for me 😀

Hello there, Edward Swanepoel!
ActivTrades is grateful for the kind words! Such reviews help us to work hard and strive for the best for our customers!
The wide choice of tradable assets is a cornerstone of any brokerage entity. Therefore, we wanted to have a large number of instruments and a variety of asset classes.
Activtrades leverage is on the appropriate level so that traders can constantly be in control of their actions.
In addition, our leverage is adjustable and can be lowered by request in your personal area.
You can apply for a Professional account if you want to increase leverage. The maximum leverage there is 1:400.
For more information, don't hesitate to get in touch with our support team.
Have a great trading day!

ActivTrades has impressed me with its long track record of providing brokerage services. I think I haven't met any other broker operating today, that started their business in the early 00s. They should be, and I am sure they are proud of it. I understand better their amazing reputation now, and their motive to maintain this reputation of providing a reliable and professional brokerage service to their customers.
Keep up the good job 👍

Of course, like any other broker this company has disadvantages. There are no perfect companies.
But I am sure that the services, tools and conditions that I received after opening account with this company are competitive.
By the way, about opening an account. As it turned out the process of account registration and verifcation is simple and clear. I did everything according to the instructions and everything went well.
