    Swinging is good

    Spreads or commissions are good, but not the main reason for me. I focus on making thousands of pips some times more. Just doing market analysis on the monthly chart for directional bias, then zoom into the weekly/daily, marking previous swing points. Highlight supply and demand zones, watch RSI to not buy on overbought. Fees don’t matter in this case.
    But the safety and the quality of the platform, good reasons for me to stick with FBS I feel. In years here, don’t have a bad story to tell. This is solid broker, sure no social trading but still rating should be higher.

    Mixed Feelings

    FBS withdrawals do not have any major problems however it does take more than the” instant” they boast of processing which often takes at least 24 hours. The spread is acceptable though could be tighter. The platform is okay enough though there has been slowness from my side, particularly during high moments of volatility.
    Commendable customer support that is multilingual

    Quick Payment Service

    Having used the FBS Cent and the Standard accounts, I can confirm their low spreads coupled with the interface being easy to use the service has generally been a pleasant experience. Fortunately, the deposit and withdrawal process is as expected and customer support is very active and reachable in different languages, which is valuable.

    No lo entiendo. Cuando abro el sitio web oficial solo veo una cuenta Standard. Probablemente en el artículo se olvidaron de señalar la jurisdicción para estos tres tipos de cuenta.
    Es algo habitual cuando un broker ofrece diferentes condiciones para diferentes jurisdicciones.

    It's alright

    spread and fees = very good here, especially because of positive swap rate available for most (i think all?) assets.
    payouts = fast, <1 day
    reputation = excellent, I had seen this broker in top-3 on many websites. But top-1 if you factor in swaps+spreads situation
    customer support = top-tier, got my answers in minutes, and very pleasant people.
    So I think fbs is quite alright.

    Despite that FBS is one of the oldest broekrage companies in the trading industry, they are still able to provide beneficial trading conditions to customers and I find it very cool. There’re:
    -narrow spreads
    -low commissions
    -cheap swap fees
    I think all these things that I metnioned above make the trading experience easy and enjoyable. That’s why I’m still here and not going to leave this company!

    I do believe FBS has the HIGHEST credibility score among the competitors! The Standard account offering lacks some flexibility with the spreads and whatnot. but if I’m being brutally honest, the trading conditions are above market average by a long shot.

    I really appreciate what the team is doing to provide the comfort to clients. I usually trade metals like Silver and Gold, and they can be pretty volatile so the spread plays a big role.
    0.01 pip on Silver and 0.2 on Gold is really great, given the commission is very low.
    I depoed and withdrawed without any problems, my top choice!

    FBS broker has a truly captivating trading infrastructure! It includes everything one needs and it doesn’t matter which trading style you have. One account type is what I like most about the platform, cuz minimum deposit is just $5, spreads start from 0.7 pips and leverage reach tremendous values – 1:3000. Even if I am an experienced trader, I ain’t trade it that big. Follow my lead.

    Tbh, when the company is being supervised by more than one regulator, it automatically gets reliable for me, especially if this regulator is CySEC.
    I know that the FBS broker possesses this regulation and it helped me to understand that I was about to tie with a professional broker.
    So far I trade here and experience no difficulties with using everything I need 🙂
