Solid execution and reporting, but the FX workflow feels a bit heavy
I’m Omar from Abu Dhabi and I’ve been using Fidelity for about 6 months mainly for USD exposure and occasional major FX pairs around news events. The platform feels stable and I haven’t had any scary glitches, which matters more to me than fancy features. Execution has been consistent on normal market hours and I like the account reporting—statements and performance breakdowns are clear enough to reconcile against my own spreadsheet. The part that holds it back is the overall workflow: placing and managing FX-related orders feels more "institutional" than nimble, and it takes more clicks than I’d like when I’m trying to adjust risk quickly. Fees/spreads are not the cheapest compared to pure FX brokers, so I wouldn’t pick it for scalping. But for a more conservative, "keep it clean and documented" approach, it’s been reliable for me so far.
