My account was blocked by OctaFX, this is a scam. I had capital of 23.15 USD and won 11.00 USD, but OctaFX took it.. Luckily, it's only a small amount of 23.15 USD.. Octa scam, my password is correct but I can't access my account, the money is still in there.

Octa offers a fairly stable trading experience for daily use. The registration and verification process runs quickly, so users can start immediately without significant obstacles.

I use Octa because the platform is stable, execution is quite fast, and deposit and withdrawal processes usually go smoothly. The app is also easy to use. But as always, still be careful with leverage and start with small amounts before going big.

The withdrawal process is what matters the most, and they have it good. The range of withdrawal methods is big, but honestly, most of them are crypto based. I didn't use all of them, just USDT TRC20. However, as far as I know, the time of process doesn't differs from one method to another. They are all performed in like 4 hours, maybe less, depends on how fast they approve the request.

They made things simpler than any other broker i have traded in the past regarding the process of choosing an acc type,. Regarding the trading codnitons, all account are pretty much the same. What you need to choose is your favorit trading engine. I chose the octatrader.. Initially it took me some time to understand the app, but it’s not hard at all. The only limit it has is the max open positions - it’s 50 lots, which is way more than intend to trade, and no EAs.

october was a month of uncertainty for stock market, stocks made ath and then could not proceed further, I guess it is rotation from sector to sector, so a correction perhaps. Glad that I have access to blue chip stocks provided by octa, good, however, it would be great to widen the pool of stocks in general, some of the names I dont see here. As for platfrom, all is fine, works well, no slippage, correct quotes I get

OCTA offering a decent security for traders, because they are regulated and licensed. Plus, they use segregated accounts to keep clients funds separately, which is important.

messing with octa educational tools and the live quotes help is kinda handy, all is combined in one place, seeing the global picture of real market data makes learning easier but sometimes the quotes lag or drop which is annoyin overall its okay for getting the hang of things just dont rely on it too muchh

I might be harsh on them, but this is what I feel! The customer service needs improvements as soon as possible. The people who work as a support seem to know the topics, but the time it takes for them to respond is a lot. I can’t stand waiting, I take it as a disrespect towards myself… As for the trading, there wasn’t any big troubles. The spreads are not 0.6 pips, they are usually 1.2 pips for eur/usd, which is fine. Commissions are zero, that’s the advantage tho.

So get used to seeing zero raw accounts and not seeing it here, automatically put a minus for the broker. Of course it didn’t cancel the fact how good trading conditions are and what opportunities their proprietary trading platform gives in comfort and trading conditions. I just have a justified reason to put 4 instead of 5.

So what I have on my Mt5 is : - 4 (around) on gold - 1.2 on eurusd (asian session) - around 2 on gbpusd A good thing is that all the platforms have more less the same spread and it makes it super fair to trade anywhere you feel comfortable. I am on MT5 and depsite octatrader recommendations, I am still with mt because I just feel more comfortable here.

They have chosen the best concept when it comes to account types. Basically you need to choose the trading engine you like which is much easier than weighing trading conditions, costs, and other aspects that are exclusive to account types. Btw their custom trading app, the octatrader is great, i like that there is a strong focus on AI tools

I went for the octatrader account, not MT because that platform is so basic. They didn’t change it for years, of course I would go for the octa one that even has an AI in it. That makes trading more interesting imho. Apart from the platform, what is great about it is also the fees. That’s like the standard acc, they don’t have others, but the fees are tighttt. Spreads be max at 1 pips.

I dont think there is somebody who havent heard of octa... because in so many years they are just at the core of trading sphere. Still this doesn't mean that they should relax, I suggest adding some more intrumnets to the pool because 300+ is not much for a broker of this caliber.

Definitely what value the platform brought into my trading. Just casually wanted to test the platfom, liked design primarily. But when I chose gold and quickly looked at the AI pattern (there was a precise support level), I decided to jump in. The result 7 RR, believe it or not. Moves take profit twice, hopefully execution functionality is the same. That’s why I have an octatader account. Only one drawback, no algo traeding, sometimes miss it there…

I wanna talk abouit somaehting new and today the main topic is the ai chart feature. At first I thought it’s just a toy or a marketing gimmick, but after seeing how it identifies patterns and trends, I was freadked out, thinking there is someone behind the screen who shows me signals. But in reality, it works really automatically and I don’t have to waste time on analysis anymore. Now I understand why people tend to choose octatrader rather than mt4 or mt5 for trading.

Unless you like MT specifically based on your experience, I think going with octatrader acc+platform is much better for any level, especially for beginners. It's just a superior platform ,this is how I see it and I dont want to be againast mt, but what they created is top class, becasue I can get insights here and AI help to improve my trades😎

It’s very visible that they are trying their best to help their traders, not just themselves by earning money. There are many features that help me personally in my trading exp, and I think that is the same for others. The education and live webinars are great, with a lot of useful information that can be used. Plus, customer service answers questions right away.

Even when it comes to account types… here they are categorised based on the trading engine ya would like to use, but that’s not the only difference… so ya need to pick carefully and check the other terms. The big difference is in the asset categories available for trading. The octatrader account, the one i use is really good for me.. But i don’t trade any stocks, so i don’t mind that here they are not included. If ya trade stocks, ya have to go with MT5. also

OctaTrader's feature of AI embedded is a game changer, not that it made me rich overnight, but it helps a lot. Its pattern recognition is quite correct. Whenever my analysis matches with the pattern detected I have more confidene in the trade, and frankly the winning ration went by 20-30% for my trades - substantial improvement Checking here on intraday frames, that is where my bread and butter lies, different assets can work for me thanks to the broker

for me the terms here really fit my strategy 💪 i focus mostly on USDJPY, and sometimes I build many small positions instead of one big order. I keep adding when price move in my direction and then hold until trend start showing weakness. this can be one week, sometime more. In many other brkers swap fees kill this style, but here no swap, so the cost stay super low and make big differnce for me. I just like to build, build positions and not worry about paying extra
