Do not use Binary Standard Trading FX for anything serious. I used them for the past six months for small trades and it was okay. When I deposited a larger amount and traded more, my account was flagged, my withdrawals were delayed, and I was asked to explain my trading. They treat active traders like criminals.
Pros: Demo account available|Responsive team|Market news feed|Intuitive for beginners
Cons: No fractional shares
I was about to invest with Binary Standard Trading FX but decided to check their regulatory status first. They claim to be regulated but I could not find them on any official register. Financial Conduct Authority has actually issued a warning about this firm. Thank goodness I checked before sending any money.
Cons: Listed in warning databases|No transparency|Pressure to invest quickly
I wanted to transfer my portfolio from another broker to Binary Standard Trading FX. They said they do not accept in-kind transfers for my asset type. I had to sell, withdraw, deposit, and rebuy - incurring taxes and spread costs. They did not tell me this before I signed up.
Pros: Social trading features|Stable platform|Easy to use platform
Cons: Help articles are sometimes vague
After doing some research AFTER the fact (I know, I should have done this first), I discovered that Binary Standard Trading FX is not authorized by any legitimate financial regulator. They are operating illegally. The website looks very professional but it's all a facade. Please check the regulatory warnings database before investing with ANY company.
Cons: Blocked my account|No legitimate license|Fake returns
