Okay for learning, but the costs add up
I’m Mariam from Al Ain and I opened a Standard account mainly to practice disciplined risk management and test a simple EUR/USD strategy. The platform itself was easy enough to navigate and I didn’t struggle with placing orders, setting SL/TP, or checking history. Where it became less enjoyable for me was the overall trading cost. On quiet market hours I felt the spread widened more than I expected, and when I tried to scalp a little around news I noticed extra friction that made my results inconsistent. It’s not unusable, but it pushed me to trade less frequently and focus only on higher-conviction setups. Depositing was straightforward and reflected quickly. Withdrawals did arrive, but the timeline felt a bit unpredictable compared to what I’m used to—nothing dramatic, just not as smooth as I’d like. Support was polite and answered my questions, but sometimes the replies felt template-like and I had to follow up to get a clear, step-by-step explanation. Overall: fine if you’re starting and want a basic workflow, but I’d like tighter pricing and more consistent processing times.
