It took a little while to realize in full all the advantages that AAFX gave me. I first opened an account here because the company offers best spreads. They are really good here, in fact. But later I found out that there are many other things to like here. Welcome bonus for example. I got +35% to my initial deposit and it is withdrawable! Probably, if I wasn’t trading actively, I won’t be able to fulfill the bonus requirements, but for daytraders this is a great chance to maximize returns on capital.
Good to know! I used to think that this bonus is a mere illusion so was nice to hear the testimonial of a real user. I daytrade too, but normally don't have much traders. Should give the bonus a try though.

My experience in forex trading goes back to 2010. I started when I was in college.having no luck back then I've made a long break in trading and came back in 2017 only. I'm glad that I first asked many people before dared to open a trading account and fund it. Lots of them recommended AAFX as a reliable but inexpensive brokerage with excellent support team. It turned out to be true. Like many other brokerages AAFX has got an offshore registration, but I don't think this is a big disadvantage. It's inevitable if you are looking for the best trading conditions to find an offshore brokerage. UK or US registered businesses are way too expensive for ordinary people like me. AAFX has been on the market since 2014 and they allow US residents to register. This is the most important factor, which means that none of the US citizens has suffered yet from any scam related to this brokerages. It's a very, very nice omen. As I said, spreads here are simply the best. Orders execution is fast enough to keep requotes reasonable and keep slippages on stops under control. I'm grateful for the advice my colleagues have given me once and now myself am recommending AAFX.

Hello, I have been trading in Forex for 11 years, and have dealt with so many brokers, more than forty, including AAFX. This is the worst broker I've ever met. AAFX has not been responding to me for 4 months and is not fulfilling my withdrawal requests. Can you imagine, they have blocked my account and do not even respond!!! What arrogance, can you imagine that ?! Traders, I appeal to you, do not be fooled, sooner or later this will happen to you too. AAFX is not regulated by anyone and therefore behaves so brazenly and freely. Collaborate with regulated brokers, they are in the majority.
Sorry to hear that. But that would be great to find out why AAFX has blocked your account? They couldn't do that for no reason. Accounts get blocked if trader gets involved in some suspicious activity. The fact that you've had over 40 brokers already is kinda weird in this light, don't you find?
AAFX do not allow scalping, once your scalping account grows raptly and your want to make a first withdrawal, that is when the block occur. I had the same experience with AAFX and therefore share Bakir's frustration.
Guys, its written with the bold letters at broker's Trading Conditions page. All orders must last longer than 60 seconds. So if you scalp within 1 minute time frame, yes, you won't be able to do that with AAFX. But if you scalp and your trades last longer than 1 min - do whatever you want, be happy and profitable. I've been working with this company since 2016 and has never ran into any issues ;)

This is a pure pleasure to trade with a normal brokerage. The one who tried working with a few will understand me. I don't need superior service, personal manager or whatever else they offer for VIP clients. But I want my commissions to be kept at reasonable level and I want to get fast and reliable executions. Isn't it that difficult? AAFX was the first brokerage to fulfill these two of my expectations in full. As a bonus I get awesome leverage opportunities and some bonuses such as participation in referral programs.

AAFX advertise themselves as a Broker allowing Scalping. Any educated trader know with a proper scalper EA that scalping is normally a trade scenario of open and close under 60 sec.
 I had many trades under 60 sec and some longer than 60 sec. On my live scalping account AAFX allowed this trading method to continue, without warning me of trading against their 60 sec rule. AAFX accumulated all the commission on the trades and when I wanted to withdraw some profits for the first time, AAFX deleted all the trade history taking/earning all the commission of all the trades. At the end AAFX made a handsome profit out of me and on-top block my account by not recognising profitable trades that were longer than 60 second. So I state it again AAFX should not advertise themselves as a Broker accepting/allowing scalping because proper scalping is most of the time under 60 sec.

That sounds strange, as AAFX provides user agreement so you can check company rules and learn about restrictions. Did company lie to you? No. As I understand, you found that there is restriction for deals under 60 seconds, but you kept on trading? So now you blame company for following it's own rules? I'm trading with AAFX for a 4 years and can say that it's one of the best brokers, as it always folllow it's own rules, So if you're fair with the company and follow all the rules, you will never have any problems.
