I chose Activtrades because I can trade CFDs instruments, but with some twist, in a good way. As far as I understand, all of the instruments are available in CFD, which is an amazing thing. I like leverage trading, especially Activtrades leverage trading. Broker has the perfect level of leverage on all asset classes, except cryptocurrencies and shares. Crypto is too dangerous for high leverage trading and CFDs on shares always have diverse leverage, depending on the specific stock.
Although Activtrades stocks have low leverage, they have another advantage instead. If you trade stocks you will get extra profit from holding a long position. As if you’re a real shareholder. These payments are presented in various modes: dividends, stock split, takeover bid etc.
How cool is that? There is even a strategy when a trader buys stocks right before the Ex-dividend date. Receives the dividends and sells the stocks.
This tactic can be applied at Activtrades potentially. You open a long position on shares a couple of days before the dividend date and then close the order after dividends are paid.
However I didn’t try it myself to be 100% sure that it will work as I described. Be aware that it only works with long positions! If you open a short deal, the dividend amount will be charged from your deposit.
I don’t understand how Activtrades is doing it, I mean I realize how stocks and dividends work in the stock market. But from my knowledge forex brokers don’t have access to the shares liquidity. Maybe Activtrades has, in the end it’s one of the top brokers in the industry.
It would be so cool if I really own the stock if I buy it at Activtrades. Because I would be able to print the real, physical copy of it, frame it and put it on the wall xD

I have recently found your site and I’m interested in trading currencies here. I like spreads. I want to know one crucial thing. Do you charge fees?

I trade with Activtrades for half a year and everything is just fine. Nice conditions, well optimized trading platfroms and branded indicators as a pleasant addition. But to be honest Metatrader 4 turns out very hard to master for me, so I decided to try ActivTrader or MT5

I like fact that I can study videos from broker's experts and trade on platform at the same time. After watching each training video, my trading improves noticeably! Soon I will be able to become professional trader thanks to ActivTrades' training program 😎

This morning I had desire to write detailed review of activtrades broker. Well, let's get started!
My review is for newbies ;) That's why I will try to remember everything that will be useful for beginners.
What does trader who just came to market look for? Of course, he looks for tutorials, educational videos, and webinars. Activtrades provides all of this in one place.
Company's website, as well as some other resources, has educational videos about trading. All of them are easy to watch and easy to remember. I'm sure that such education format is very modern and suitable for most traders.
For those who can't set up platform properly and can't handle support tools, broker is ready to provide Educational Manuals. In fact, they will be helpful to all traders. Yes, by the way, this section contains manuals on tools setup and usage. Special tools and applications can be installed on platform. They improve quality of trading. I advise everyone to install them on platform!
One more useful way of training is broker's Educational Events. Feel free to sign up for nearest webinar! List of upcoming webinars can be found on broker's website.
I guess this is all! I think activtrades really cares about its customers and makes it well!
Actually, I want to state that Activtrades webinars are a unique thing that I’ve never seen before. The broker is keeping up with the times really.

Hidalgor posted:Pretty agree with your words. Here, on ActivTrades platform, you can create a diversified portfolio, which will contain lots of various assets. It's a crucial stuff for risk management.
Activtrades has the impressive assets amount across the six financial markets. Since I’m not fond of high risk trading, I try to stay away from something too crazy volatile. Currency pairs like GBP/JPY or GBP pairs in general are too much for me.
So I found a pretty convenient tool, it's the ETFs. ETFs are a various selection of assets distributed by sector of the economy. Such as:
- Industrial;
- healthcare;
- Energy etc.
The strong side of the ETFs is that they contain different instruments with different characteristics. So that you get the diversified portfolio in one solution. It is less risky than investing in a single entity.

It's nice that broker takes care of all his customers and considers Muslims' interests. I mean that broker offers special trading conditions for traders who comply with Sharia law. So I feel that can trade on financial markets with pleasure without breaking any rules.
Thank you, ActivTrades, for this opportunity!

I am new to forex. Does broker help newcomers?
Newcomers are very welcome to activtrades. They get a free demo account, free educational materials. And as a cherry on top they get the one-on-one training with the activtrades professionals.

Activtrades is the company that you want to trade with, but realise that you don’t have enough money and experience. First you have to learn somewhere else how to trade properly. At this point I think I can't even embrace how good Activtrades is, cos I’m too green. Anyway, I’m sure that my next review will be from the Activtrades client’s perspective.

Just made a deposit and can't decide on trading platform. I tried both branded one and Metatrader. First one has a nice intuitive interface and it is web based, but Metatrader looks more optimized for me. Is there an MT4 web version available?

Company provides traders with acceptable trading conditions. But I'm little confused by commission that broker charges when I open trades. It's called Spread. I understand that all brokers do it and that ActivTrades has very small Spread, but I don't like sharing my money.
