RoboForex Review: Pros, Cons – The Cryptonomist

SPONSORED POST*

In 2009, RoboForex was launched. Through this period, the company managed to earn a reputation as a reliable Forex broker, and it becomes quite popular. Nowadays RoboForex occupies top positions on the main ratings.

This Forex broker has more than 800,000 clients in different countries, more than 4.5 million accounts have been opened, and these numbers are constantly growing.

The company holds trading contests, providing deposits for trading as a prize. Competitions are held often, but it is not easy to win.

In addition to the usual Metatrader 4 and Metatrader 5 terminals, there is cTrader. This terminal works faster, and spreads are lower there, as it was developed for the ECN solution. Separately, it is worth noting the R MobileTrader for smartphones with different OS.

Moreover, through it, it is possible not only to trade but also to order the withdrawal. The R MobileTrader is a kind of symbiosis of a trading terminal and an account, which is quite convenient.

Let us discover more details about this instrument together with its specific features and benefits.

Pricing

Spreads here are small. On the EUR/USD pair, for example, they start from zero and usually do not exceed 10 pips on five-digit quotes.

Spreads are generally floating, so they can change over time, while the values ​​mostly remain small.

For transactions, different commissions are taken. If we consider as an example a Pro account, the commission for one standard lot is $13. This is quite normal on average. In addition, users are provided with Rebates or returns. The general rule here is the bigger your turnover, the more you will be able to return.

As for the deposits they are made for free from any payment system. This means that any payment for this action will be compensated.

As for withdrawals, they are also available without commissions, but only two times a month. If you do not wish to waste your funds on this action, you need to do this procedure on the first and third Tuesday of it.

As for the accounts, there are five types, each with special features and opportunities.

Prime

This option is good for those who have proper experience:

  • One can begin from $10 or 10 euros.
  • The trading leverage is up to 1 to 300.
  • Market execution. This means that during the release of important news or just a sharp change in prices, stop orders can slip.

Such an account is not good for novice traders. One must understand what slippage is in order to know how to protect his funds from sharp price spikes. The trading leverage is the smallest among other options, although a trader understands that too much leverage is risky. Spreads, as elsewhere, are here too, there is a commission for each currency pair.

ECN

It is an account from which transactions are transferred to ECN platforms.

Very tight spreads and instant execution of trades is typical in this case. If you are a scalper, it is recommended to try the cTrader terminal. In this terminal, the spreads are narrower than in the usual MetaTrader, the execution is also faster:

  • The action is possible from $10, the highest leverage is 1 to 500.
  • It is a market option, so slippage of orders may happen.

For a novice user, we would not recommend it. However, for a scalper, it will be convenient; the main thing is not to forget to leave the market if there is a hint that important news is coming.

R Stock Trader

This unique type is characterized by:

  • The leverage is 1 to 300.
  • The deposit is from $100.
  • Trading can be done only via utilizing the platform.
  • For each transaction, there are required payments.

This type is perfect if your goal is to work with stock market instruments. Here one will find everything that is needed for this type of activity.

ProCent

A cent account is most suitable for novice users who wish to try trading without risking huge sums. The possibilities are the following:

  • One may trade from $10. In the terminal, they will be displayed as 1000 cents.
  • Thus, it is possible to trade $10 as a serious $1000 account.
  • Profits are reduced by 100 times, but so are losses.
  • The upper leverage is 1 to 2,000.

This one is the most suitable for those who are searching for a good opportunity to learn. In addition, it is often utilized to test a new strategy or to conduct the final stage of testing a robot.

Pro

This option has gained great popularity among both novice and experienced users:

  • The deposit is $10.
  • The leverage is 1 to 2,000.
  • In terms of working and spreads, it is somewhat similar to ProCent, only trading is no longer in cents, but in dollars.
