I tried trading with FP Markets for a while, but the overall experience wasn’t what I expected. The spreads were advertised as tight, yet during active market hours they widened noticeably. My withdrawal wasn’t rejected, but it took longer than the timeframe they mention. Support answered my tickets, but the responses felt slow and not very helpful.
I had a very similar experience with FP Markets. The spreads looked good on paper, but once the market became active they widened much more than I expected. My withdrawal also took longer than the stated processing time, and support didn’t really clarify anything. Overall, the service felt slower and less reliable than advertised.
I’ve noticed similar issues myself. MT4/MT5 execution is usually stable, which is good, but the slow withdrawal process and delayed support responses can definitely be frustrating
My time with FP Markets was a major letdown. The spread and commission structure quickly ate into profits, making frequent trading almost pointless. The platform lagged during volatility, costing me several trades totally unacceptable for an active trader. Withdrawals were slow and unprofessional, and support didn’t give any real solutions. Overall, FP Markets felt unreliable and not worth trusting with serious trading.
With FP Markets I found the fees on their MT4/MT5 accounts higher than I expected, especially for frequent trading. Deposits went okay but when I tried to withdraw profit the process was slow and they asked for many extra documents.
FP Markets didn’t meet my expectations. The spreads were often wider than advertised, and the platform felt slower during busy market hours. I also found the range of assets less useful than it looked on paper
I lost nearly $90000 after an unexpected liquidation a trade I did not open was closed by FP Markets, wiping out my account. When I asked support, they ignored me. Felt like my account was manipulated.
Customer support took too long to answer my live chat. For urgent trading issues that delay is stressful
I tried FP Markets for a few weeks and was often disappointed with how slow the platform reacted when the market got volatile. Slippage and wider spreads cost me more than I expected. Withdrawal process was also confusing and slower than I wanted
I noticed occasional slippage with FP Markets, especially during major news events. It made my short term trades harder to manage.
The fee structure wasn’t explained clearly at the start I ended up paying more on rollover fees than I thought I would.
Withdrawal processing felt slower than expected. It wasn’t terrible, but I definitely waited longer than with other brokers.
