FBS Reviews

In this one year that I was with this broker, trading seemed to be smooth. They do quite well as a service provider, other things are insignificant, when they do their primary job properly.

Best is what it cost me to trade with ‘em. No fees at all, just spreads. For holding trades, it was even better. No swaps too~_~

Metatrader, precisely its 5th version, which I spend some time learning about margin and order types.

Been running FBS for a couple of years now - mostly hopping on their platform each quarter when I rebalance my trading plan.In a nutshell a reliable one, fits well for tracking cycles…

The soft’s been solid every time i fire it up - charts & indicators r quick to react.Experienced no lag with multi-asset scans.

When i handled a bunch of charts - got them a bit dated, not a big deal though

Overall, very decent broker and smooth experience. I don’t trade much, still it worked like it should, no pressure from them. And the process of adopting to the platform was very fast. From the first days of my trading, I managed to figure out how to use its full functionality.

Trading conditions mostly. I prefer long-term trading. Their commissions free account and what is even better swap free accounts were a real find in this case. Plus, not bad execution.

Leverage. I needed to change it every time, depending on the volume I wanted to go for. For non-forex assets, it was fixed. Not good at all.

I've been mostly trading though the fbs app for a couple of months and it's been... working? Yes, I never used mobile for trading before and though it was dumb (you can say I was a MetaTrader stan, and I still am, in a way). But as I've gotten more busy, I started appreciating having access to my acc through my phone more and MORE

Wouldn't put it as a pro usually, but the meta trader platforms are famously sturdy and can handle pretty much anything, which is tested through time. I finally understood how important it is after having to know a custom trading terminal with a new broker which was absolutely terrible
It's not that old though, now there is this AI assistant feature that I quite enjoy using. Not relying on it too much still thogh

It's not as plug-and-play as other, beginner focused platforms, but it's worth the effort imho.

Have to learn the MT, especially using bots, that will give you an edge almost for sure. Without bots, still decent to trade, but you have to know what you are doing and be stone cold about risk-management, which for me is hard.

Out of top ones, I think this is the only one (?) where spreads for eur/usd I got below 0.5 sometimes. They are always below 1 at least. That gives me around 8-10% extra money with my strategy, using EAs. I don t think thats a small amount at all.

I think overall fbs.com is good site, but not beginner-friendly much. I needed to learn everything myself. It's easy to use when you know how MT works but I didn't. Had to spend almost a year to get myself to the profitability level.

I’ve been trading with them long enough to have proof that their services deserve my attention. Benefits were obvious, drawbacks not critical. Traded gold and some cash indices. My strategy worked, payment are done on time, what else is needed for a good experience.

-Costs were low enough to perform various strategies, from 5 min scalping to long swing trades
-Fast payments by e-wallets, not waiting on bank wires anymore
-Fbs platform, personally liked for design and opportunity to pay just from the app

I would be glad if they added more markets, like index futures and some other stocks.

honestly i didn’t think i’d use it every day but i do… the tools are really helping me get more serious in this space and im glad i gave it a try...

learning tools r free
interface works on my old laptop
support reps respond faster than expected
the updates don’t slow down the app

some buttons don’t load right away
tutorials should be more interactive

Experience on the demo was very good indeed. From account setup that took very little time to the service, which met and even outperformed my expectations, in terms of the environment design and work of major services. I hope they will maintain the same degree of quality once I switch to real trading there. I will, let me just get my salary:))

Many good sides of the broker: selection of platform from advanced mt5 to well-designed app, local payment option (didn’t try how fast they’re though), vip analytics as a helping hand.

Only one tiny one: support. Better to make it human fully then asking AI to connect to the agent every time I need something more than FAQ.

Using FBS monthly feels so casual because of how good the services are It's got enough tools and information, not too much , and doesn’t try too hard to bombard someone. Features are solid, fees are decent, and if you're not using it in your pajamas with coffee stains on your shirt, are you even trading right?

FBS is like that dependable friend who shows up on time—except it shows up with tight spreads, fast order execution, and a dashboard that doesn’t look like it was designed in 2003. Everything loads fast, even on my grandma’s Wi-Fi.

Too many pop-up tips. I came to trade, not attend a TED Talk every 5 clicks.

I work in front of a pc all the time so I just wanted a little hobby when I have some free time at work and at home as well, and it was trading. Learned for some time, finished some stuff on babypips and hopped on FBS on demo. This year I made a deposit and its going well, slow - but well. I think if you keep dedicating your time and learn from your losses, and do a journal of some kind , you will have no choice but to improve :D

Surely, it's easy to use, right as you register it's smooth and you just know where to go and what to do, up until my trading started, I didn't face any problems and its about UX being done properly.
Next thing is payments, if you choose the decent option, you get your withdrawals on time and you don't worry about them not arriving, it's peace of mind when getting your profit for me.

I don't know if it's a one time thing ( I certainly hope so) but support was ultra slow when I asked them questions about features, perhaps my questions just got lost.

FBS.com is an established broker and based on the reviews they have from other traders, also very reliable. I trade for about a year here, and have nothing bad to report. The broker delivers exactly what promises as trading conditions, and this is something that i appreciate a lot

Costs are low in general. The account they have is good in terms of spread level and no extra trading fees. Also the leverage of 3000x is a standout feature

I think adding a raw spreads account type would be great improvement

I am mostly using FBS because it’s well-regulated and safe to trade long-term. There’s also a lot of local payment options for my country with no fees 🐔

Safe and reputable, has a official license too
I like that they have commodities and stock in addition to normal forex pairs, diversification is important these days, even in trading

The spreads might not be as tight, but doesn’t really matter if you take swing or position trades

I am recommending this broker to all, because in my 2 years of being a client in live trading, I think they did pretty well. Like I made many withdrawals and there was no problem with any of them, no delay in processing and etc.

I like support services, many times I contacted them and each time I received decent service. Plus they have some easy navigation around the members area, I care about UX a lot and they do too,

To develop further, fbs must add many more features. Like now ai is taking over in trading as well so they need to create their own web platform. and then it should have more features to compete with mt5, like ai features and such...

While trading here, I learned that trading feels a bit like sailing, you can’t command the wind, only the sails. Some days the breeze carries you, others, it throws salt in your eyes. Either way, you learn to move with the weather, not against it. In other words, I stopped trading against the trend, if XAAUSD is in a bullish trend, I just keep opening long positions.

The trading conditions are really cool, spreads, swaps, they are low and I don’t need to worry about how much I could lose while trading there. The mt5 platform works nicely, it doesn’t lag during high market fluctuations, and most importantly all my orders were always executed lighting-fastly without huge slippage.

I tried their mobile app and honestly, I couldn’t say this is a cutting-edge platform, it doesn’t offer something new and the trading tools lack compared to the MT5.

In the period of time I’ve been with this broker I tried almost everything. From holding stocks to scalping forex exotics (don’t recommend this one) Never had problems with them. Platform worked smooth, payments without delays, pricing ok. All good I think to use anything you want! No limits at all!

Only positive vibes about the broker’s support. Super flashy to provide an answer even for weird questions. I had one for min lot size and boom, 2 min and they solved my problem. Also pretty friendly broker in pricing, not eating profits, norm spreads

Hard time to use MT5, not an alternative on this, except even older MT4. App is good but can’t replace web trading like it or not

Overall, good to go trading broker. For this reason I stayed with them for so long. Well-developed trading engines, no delays, reasonable trading costs. If they work on some minor flaws, it will be 10/10.

Trading engines. Combination of nice and stable FBS app with strong analytical and charting features of MT5. Especially, the ability to build custom indicators; which was not a big deal for me, working in IT.

Complicated leverage system. Contacting support, experimenting with different ratios and lots sizes, didn’t give me a full understanding of how leverage works here. For forex it’s one,, for other assets, it’s different. Just leave it x100 for safety measures.

I trade every day, and make a lot of trades, and it’s been more than a year since i started trading here. This is very long time and can confidently say that i’m impressed with how stable and how reliable its trading platform is. Maybe they can make it more versatile, for sure, but it is already a good one even for professional traders

Platform is very stable, and the market range is great. They have all the asset classes. Also, i like the concept of one account for all, making it easy to set up account here without puzzling yourself with trading terms, calculating costs etc.

Not much of a cons, but if they read this i would suggest them make an integration with tradingview charting platform so we can trade directly from there

It would be genuinely challenging to find a broker of the same level as FBS (their professionalism comes from the years of experience, is what I'm guessing). The thing is that I encountered SO many broker that knew absolutely nothing about what they're doing... like somebody just decided to start a trading platform and it's their first day at work. That's why I prefer to stick to time tested companies instead of going for one of those wild card options

Friendly community... was kinda expecting it to be a bit toxic like those trading subreddits but everybody here is very nice.
Getting my market analysis done for me is also a major pro for me, if it saves me time, I'm in

Am I the only one who thinks that 1‌:‌1‌0‌0 leverage on stocks is a bit restricting? I would prefer to have it a bit higher

Yeah, i don’t regret joining them at all. From the beginning i was sure of them in terms of reliability, because they have many regulations around the world and praise from the community, so withdrawals as expected worked out.

I love their mobile application for trading, the UI part is cleeean, and charts are from tradingview which you can’t go wrong with. Plus, the application runs without any lags and bugs like it may happen usually.

Maybe support needs a little spank, because the speed was not fast enough for me.

In general, I enjoy my trading experience here and am glad that I stumbled upon this broker one day. The support team assisted me a lot of times and as a thank you for them I’ve stayed here for over 2 years already.

FBS always improves their services and products, in other words they strive to become better as a broker and I appreciate that! I remember how they had an outdated user interface on the official website and a lot of people were complaining about it. As a result, they updated it fully and now everything looks modern and smoothly.

I think everyone understands what broker FBS is, so I want them to add the copy trading service or pamm accounts because this broker is top-notch and if they will do something, they definitely do it in the best way possible. imho
