I started to trade with TradeKing in a standard account, and I put a deposit about $50 to $100 because their minimum account size is $0 and get a profit that grows in every trading. The platform MetaTrader 4 works fast in execution with the real-time quotes, and their spreads are fixed 0.8 pips on EUR/USD, so I haven't seen it rise even during market volatile conditions. As a trader, I had some losses, but I could recover them because of their execution very fast. Their support team is helpful and pleasant. I'm pleased and I wish to trade long live in TradeKing.
The affordable account registration at TradeKing is really tempting. Thankfully, I researched about the company first and I found a lot of complaints from its clients about the inefficient withdrawal process. According to them, the release of the money is always delayed and I don't want to risk my money on this poor service.
Currently, Trade king is one of the recommended and well established forex trading platforms. I was surprised to discover so many trading instruments which is very convenient for every one. Their Platform is fast, great execution. Their commission fees also don't burden me, because the profit I get is pretty good. No requotes, instant execution, no slippages, and always get my profit within due time. I never meet some problem and anything is negative about Trade King, for me and my comunity this is the best broker.
I have lost almost $450 with the TradeKing platform due to their unprofessional service. When I tried to trade on the MT4 platform than the platform hasn't worked. Also, the trade execution is slow that always my orders going in an unexpected slippage position. Besides here price chart was different from the real market, so I say they are market maker broker. I was unable to earn profits through the hard work due to the above reasons. I think the TradeKing platform isn't safe.
The starting capital at TradeKing is low. It is attractive to newbies and that includes me. However, their trading fees are too high. Their spread is floating and the lowest that I have seen so far is 4pips. Then it goes as high as 12pips. As a beginner, this much fee is something that I could not afford.
