    It tries for new traders

    FBS has been a good platform for me, especially as a more experienced trader. The spreads are low, and there are multiple account types to choose from. However, I think the support could be improved since response times sometimes take longer than expected. Overall, it’s a solid choice.

    FBS mobile app

    Not gonna lie, the fbs mobile app is the best trading platform I’ve ever used in my trading career. It seems, they were trying hard to make it better than the metatrader 4 and 5 platforms. It has a more beautiful user interface and has plenty of advanced features which I cannot find anywhere else. The trading conditions are exactly what I needed for convenient trading. 👍

    FBS trading academy is a must have for everyone. The quality of educational materials they provide for us is unreal. I’m dubious that those materials can be found somewhere else.
    I learned a lot about technical analysis and things like fibonacci retracement, rsi index and ema-200 are acknowledged for me now. I’m already using all those things in practice.
