To do this, it is proposed to leave a request on the site and specify your country, and the manager will contact the applicant and specify the details.
Advantages and disadvantages of the Valutrades
The broker has some features that need to be considered when choosing. Firstly, the trading conditions are quite conservative. For example, an Islamic account type is not provided to customers. And for the transfer of events additional swap may be charged. Investment programs are also not available to users. For example, PAMM-investing or automatic copying of transactions. Such an approach means that only those who are accustomed to classic trading will be comfortable with the company.
Of the advantages, we can distinguish the presence of a regulator, loyal trading conditions.
The company has a license of only one regulator. Because of this, the company has difficulties with the provision of services in some countries. For example, US citizens cannot open an account with a company. But, according to published data, each deposit is insured for an amount of more than 80 thousand pounds.
