FBS review & user ratings

Forum, opinions and user reviews

  1. Domingo says:

    I think I pick them because they was popular and I first saw them in EPL and this catched my attention. When I registered -> it was okay and since that times I am trading here.

  2. Juan says:

    I just thought this will be another fancy thing in the industry with no real value to offer but I was wrong as my first experience on their site was very overwhelmingly good with in-depth content and knowledge.
    It’s nice trading platform

  3. Thitipan Sunthorn says:

    I can trade any instruments I wish and this flexibility is a key factor why I has joined the FBS broker. Also, the trading conditions are good, spreads are quite narrow!

  4. Oscar Urena says:

    It works finely and shoulda admit, it’s much better than traditional mt5 and mt4 platforms.
    It has a user friendly interface and the adaptation period was easy peasy.

  5. CiroM says:

    FBS offers really good value wuth its spreads and leverage and the fast execution speed
    The educational materials are also of great addition as they’ve got really useful information.

  6. LeroyceW says:

    FBS trader I didnt like as much, but MT5 is as solid as it gets.
    Top tier trade platform, spreads pretty low, below 1 pip mostly. Support also not bad, useful tips.

  7. Jose Antonio Ballester says:

    This is how I came to this conclusion:
    – they have good ratings in websites and people say good stuff about them
    – more than 1 license and regulation and it’s actually big deal
    – working since 2009 it’s like moer than 15 years – so they are time tested

    This is my reasons for thinking they are legit. Also I am client so I got real experience with them as well and almost all promises about them was true. One thing that is not that accurate is spreads, they are NOT always small, sometimes they get wider.

  8. Da_Bernal says:

    There are various chart layouts available and I can look at the chart for hours.😁

  9. Saddam Sabir says:

    It’s easy to use and it has a beautiful user interface. I like it very much

  10. Antonio says:

    I start seein charts even in my dreams 😀 FBS got me hooked on trading and can’t stop checking the charts throughout the day.

  11. Raul says:

    Withdrawals are a bliss here—even more some from the mobile app. There are a lot of qr code payment methods available, no need to use a bank to transfer.
    – completed in just a feww minutes
    – no “fake rules” for witdrawing anything, it’s legit

    Besides that, the trading conditions are quite good for exotic forex pairs and for majors as well. I’m a little scared to use the leverage to real, 3000 to 1 is A LOT to have under your countrol

  12. Hidalgo94 says:

    I was so confused with all of this cfd stuff lmao. I asked support for clarification and they sent me an educational materials where everything was explained 🙂

  13. Jasper Lubowitz says:

    Workin solution… despite black coments here and there… But once you trade it, you’ll see

  14. Javier says:

    Very good and useful features. Although theres are some setting backs, overall everything else has been smooth so far ;P

  15. Johnnie says:

    Trading conditions for majors, like gold, are cool.
    No complaints.

  16. Elwyn says:

    WEll the title says all tbh .. dont have much to add /

  17. IsidorD says:

    A fancy word for a fancy broker LOL! Fancy in a good way I guess, still stragne that they have only 1 account listed…
    But tradiing here is a good journey, you get low spreadds/platofrm.

  18. Joscio says:

    Finally, broker that I can trust!!! Why
    1) Withdrawal arrived
    2) Stable platform

  19. Teobaldo Soares says:

    Althouth Leicester isn’t doing fine, but FBS is always on top, at least something 🙂

  20. sergio says:

    Been using the platform for a while… solid rep, no scams, and withdrawals work fine. Fees are fair, and the support team’s on point.

  21. Fabián D. says:

    Since I downloaded mt5 from fbs, I experiensed no problems or dramatik delays. Rather efficient…At least for currency pairs trading. As for CFDs, I am yet to check it out!!

  22. Alfonso Lopez says:

    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.

  23. Bunuhaji says:

    the support of a few important markets and a lot of market info including VIP analytics.

  24. orlando s. martin says:

    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. 👍

  25. Balthazar says:

    Fast deposits, tight spreads, The platform runs like as smmoth as a babys butt, and the support team is quick and helpful. It’s definitely a good pick for traders who want efficiency.

  26. Dinh Tho says:

    0.7 spreasd on eurusd – I aint buying it tbh, the averrage is a bit higher.. Still good – top conditions for trading forex and opther pairs.

  27. O_Anderson says:

    Its reputation seems intact, with no signes of fraudulent practicces. 🏦

  28. Parit Prem says:

    I like the transparency of this broker`s platform, clear indication of quotes and positions, without tricks. BTW, support works great, whatever dumb thing, I asked, respond was polite

  29. Casta Belmonte says:

    I think with fbs broker, anyone can start trading. They have responsive customer support, nice and tight spreads, no commission and a bunch of comprehensive educational materials.

  30. Escobar L. says:

    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.
