Trading the news here is a double-edged sword. Was BURNED so many times. The price is always double-dipping, tripple-dipping, its rough. The execution is rapid though, for the initial momentum on NFP or CPI releases I have no issues with this. If only my skill could be upped somehow.
I remember I was trading mid-session during news of CPI data and the market spiked hard, and my stop-loss triggered exactly at the level I set. No glitches, no drama. This type of transparency from the IronFx broker is rare and I appreciate that.
I don’t like it when a broker forces everyone into the same template. Here, everything is fine in that regard: Classic is for calm trading, Market Pro is for a more active pace, and ECN is for those who want to work closer to the market. The account types are different, so you can choose what suits you instead of putting up with something that doesn’t fit you at all.
Their leverage options looked wild. Gold and majors had unlimited, silver 1:900. I understand these leverages are dynamic and depend on account size. But it’s too tempting imho.
I compared it with others: for major pairs, the terms are competitive; for everything else, it depends on the instrument and account type. What’s important is that the rules are transparent: trading hours, specifications, commissions—everything is out in the open. When it comes to controversial issues, support responds with actual figures, not just “we think so.” That’s rare. As a result, it’s easier to plan trades and avoid surprises out of the blue.
Kinda hard to get their pricing structure. Actually, I don't know what I paid on my raw account. Commissions or spreads, or both. This is the major downside. The rest? I have no complaints. They processed my deposits and withdrawals without delays and offer some diversity, when it comes to platforms and assets to trade.
Raw ecn account is the best option out of all. Spreads from 0 pips…
Support indeed is fast... i literally bombarded them with hella of questions and they didn’t even want to get rid of me asap. They took all the time and explained all in a comprehensive way. That’s something that I didn’t see in other brokerage firms.
over 6 is a bit low, id give it 7.5. theyre missing edu for sure, but the other things are not bad. for example costs.
I have been trading with Fresh for three years already, and everything has been going well. The biggest advantage for me is withdrawals. The money really arrives within half an hour, sometimes even faster. I do not like it when a broker keeps a withdrawal request pending for days. The spreads on major pairs are reasonable, and if you scalp wisely, the commission does not eat up your profit. The terminal works steadily, without freezes.
