Today this broker closed my account and cancelled my latest trades. They did accused me of manipulating prices - interesting - broker who controls everything from A to Z, accuses client of manipulating prices. They said they had feed error problem or such and they are going to close my account because I traded this day.

What we see here is total unprofessional way of handling backend problems and just a PURE SCAM BROKER, who shut downs clients accounts simply because they make money.

I do not recommend this broker, they clearly have no idea how todays retail client broker should look like.

This broker open the spread for roll over at 22:00 in major pairs over 14 Pips and more for some minutes. so be very, very careful to thrust this broker when you trade in this time.😡

This broker made 3 fundamental errors on a single funds transfer to another broker, which allowed a margin call on the latter account, causing a LARGE loss. ActivTrades took no responsibility and the matter is now with the FSA ombudsman. Beware.

stay away from this broker - we have run 8 accounts for 2 years and 1 account from an investmentfunds with this broker. our tradingsstation includes 12 terminals and trade with different brokers on real accounts and ALWAYS the same system. So we can compare ALL trades and positions.
the different between activ trades and ALL other brokers was 10% profit for 3 month with activ trades and 40-50% profit in 3 month with ALL other brokers.
for 2 years it was always the same situation: for two month the results were the same with all brokers. If we have 30% profit with activ trades, they change our accounts to another pricefield and we loose 20% in the same time on which the SAME system makes profit with ALL other brokers.
first of all we couldn`t say how they can do that but after 2 years we know this.

Hi jose, what kind of account do you use? interbank or standard?

I'm interested with the interbank account, but I want to know is the spread on live is the same with the demo? I know the spread in demo is very rarely to move, is it happen on the live as well?

Thank you...
