This thread will be nice for us traders to learn things about what works and doesn't work with our current Forex brokers or Forex brokers we are considering trading with.

ActivTrades - MT4 broker - (GMT+1) - min deposit €250, leverage 400:1, spreads fixed & variable, forex broker type - market maker & STP

Are you sure its GMT+1?

Hi HankT

When you're living in europe you shouldn't have any problems with the GMT +1 clock!

Kindest regards

several colleagues had already an account there .. reliable and fast deposit and withdrawal. good communication and FSA regulated what means 100.000 EUR compensation funds. negative: if you have more than 5000 EUR on your account your leverage begins to decrease to 1:200 and even half of that with 25.000 EUR

I´m from Brazil and until now I have no problem with them. Fast execution. Support on several languages, including mine (portuguese).

Bye

activtrades is my 3rd acc live, it works well, but i sometimes found a bit of differences of quotations .. for the rest it works well

ActivTrades partners with Molanis to deliver free EA building

Molanis is considered the best graphical environment for creating expert advisors and custom indicators for MetaTrader 4 and MetaTrader 5. No knowledge of coding, or MQL programming is required.

ActivTrades is one of the worst brokers I've traded with. Try scalping with them and they give you hell.

Activtrades needs first of all a competitive trading environment. Stops level of 4 pips on their "EA-friendly" interbank account is a total NO GO for scalpers

4 pip stop limit on eur/usd wider on other pairs.

The guy on the phone said you can use market orders to get out, not quite sure if this means we can bypass the 4 pip limit or not. I'll give them another call later on today.

Surely if we can use market orders to contravene the limit then we can still scalp.

anyone have used this broker recently?

I have a problem with strategy tester. i have an error when try to retrieve historical datas...

I have been a customer for about a year now, with absolutely no problems at all.

Because many people complain that brokers play against them, I just want to upload a live screenshot.

Stop Loss was at 0.80547, price went to 0.80551 (twice), and I am still in the trade. It's quite certain that there is no human intervention.

Decent Broker I might say.
