My card was charged twice by Global Tradings FX on the same day. I had to dispute it with my bank. Global Tradings FX then froze my account and said I had a negative balance because of the chargeback. They created the problem and then punished me for it.
Pros: Low minimum deposit|Economic calendar|Clear documentation
Cons: No live chat on mobile|Would like more payment methods
The only good thing about Global Tradings FX is that they remind you why regulation matters. I found them after seeing their ad online. They are regulated in a jurisdiction with weak consumer protection. When things went wrong I had nowhere to turn. Stick to well-regulated brokers.
Pros: Reliable uptime|Full transparency|Customizable dashboard
Cons: Inactivity fee applies after 12 months|Limited cryptocurrency options
Global Tradings FX had an outage that lasted several hours during a major market event. Not only did they fail to prevent it, but they also failed to communicate what was happening. We were left in the dark while our investments were at risk.
Pros: Quick verification|API access
Cons: Desktop app not available on Linux|No phone support on weekends
After using Global Tradings FX for about ten months, I decided to move my account elsewhere. The platform was unreliable, withdrawals took an unreasonable amount of time, and I could never get a straight answer from customer service. Frustrating experience overall.
Pros: Demo account available|Economic calendar|Instant funding|Personal attention
Cons: Email notifications too frequent|Search feature is basic
