Methodology

For this review, we tested MTrading Premium account, plus we collected secondary information from reputable sources.

Regulation

MTrading is registered with Financial Services Authority of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines.
Financial Commission (FinaCom PLC) is the first, neutral, third-party Dispute Resolution Organization that is dedicated specifically to Forex, and it operates in a way where transparency, swiftness, and education are the paramount values.
Financial Commission ensures that traders and brokers are getting their disputes resolved in a quick, efficient, unbiased and authentic manner, while making sure they walk away with a well-founded answer, thus contributing to the overall knowledge about Forex.

In accordance with industry regulations, your funds are segregated from our own assets in a regulated banking institution. This ensures that customers funds are available at all times, and cannot be used by broker for any purpose.

Negative balance protection

MTrading offers negative balance protection to its clients, which means that they won’t lose more funds that they have. Unfortunately, this is not always the case in the industry. Protection by Commission’s Compensation Fund is up to 20,000$ per case.

Customer Service

MTrading is committed to maintain a physical presence in major cities in the Asia Pacific region as well as Africa and South America. This enables them to respond immediately to their clients trading issues and needs. Broker offers a personal Account Manager to assist customers in all technical and administrative concerns.

MTrading provide 24/5 customer support via phone, live chat and email. Support services are available in multiple languages enabling MTrading to communicate with traders on a more individual level.

What Other Forex & CFD Websites and Customers Say about MTrading?

Although nowadays there is plenty of information available on every broker, this does not make it easier to take a thoughtful decision. The abundance of information can quickly become overwhelming and confuse traders rather than provide clear answers.

We’ve gone through, authoritative user-generated and broker listings/reviews websites to, hopefully, offer more clarity on the reception among its clients.

User Generated

Most of the websites of this kind offer a raw stream of consciousness by angry and happy traders alike. It is, therefore, important to keep in mind that some of the reviews will be nothing more or less than such.

Given that a lot of traders lose funds, and may go to the websites like Forex Peace Army (FPA) to complain, we aim at distinguishing, well, more subjective from less subjective reviews and offer our limited view on the situation.

Forex Peace Army (FPA)

Being one of the most trusted user-generated Forex and CFD communities, FPA is making sure to mediate communication between traders and service providers.

We couldn’t find clear cases of deliberate misconduct by MTrading. In any case, company’s reputation manager takes care of every query, which fosters a transparent discussion.

Non-User Generated

While reviews from non-user generated website are usually more well-structured and in depth, they may also fall short on the objectivity spectrum. Brokers do incentivize many third party-websites to write favourable reviews. To get the most out of the review process, make sure to check multiple sources and examine their credibility.

You can find the feedback from Elite CurrenSea’s clients on our website and in FPA.

Keeping in mind the info above, we can attest that MTrading reviews appear to be mostly positive.

Account types

There are 2 types of trading accounts: M.Premium and M.Pro. MTrading offers competitive trading terms and a variety of services on each account type:

• M.Premium Account

Minimum deposit 100$
Execution Type – STP

• M.Pro Account

Minimum deposit 500$
Execution Type – ECN

Customer Service

Overall experience with MTrading customer service was positive. The connection time was under a minute and account managers were professional, able to quickly answer both generic and more advanced questions.

Albeit, the somewhat negative FPA sentiment on that matter, we remain impressed by the quality of the support and invite our visitors to leave their feedback to form a more well-rounded opinion.
