FBS vs OANDA: Which One is Better for You?

Henry day

In my experience, FBS never gives me problems even when I requested some $1000 withdrawals. The process only took 2 hours most of the time.

My deposits are also great. Every time I'm researching a potential broker, I always read their terms and conditions, their promotions' pros and cons, so that I can never be trapped by said conditions.

Always put cautions when you trade and you will be safe trading in every broker.

This broker actually suits me so well. Their deposit, withdrawal, and verification are all smooth. 5 stars for them!!!

Cole57

I'm sure everything will go well if we follow their terms accordingly. Like when we transfer funds, we should attach the proof for validation. I believe FBS is a professional broker considering their years of experience in this industry

Robert Baker

FBS is good enough for me.. no problem so far.

Those who have problems with this broker... I never understand them. They're mostly trolls from competing brokers

Ivan Sokolov

I trade in FBS because of their efficiency in deposit and withdrawal. Sadly, their service has worsened lately. They used to process payment in hours now they can take up to more than a day

Lia Adm

why is it so long to get pin recovery. i never receive help from the support. I need to withdraw my money!

Teddy Wallace

I wonder why it's so difficult to log in the personal area even after I input the right email and password smh

Graham

I used to be an FBS client. I changed broker cz they failed my withdrawal requests. With the same trading strategy, I can be profitable and withdraw my fund in another broker.

FBS still has my respect, and I still have a plan to trade with them... maybe someday if I have disposable money. They have a good service for newbies after all.

The thing is, I hope they fix some things so clients can get better service. One instance is their PIN Recovery. It'd be better if they enable clients to click the code repeatedly, or just send it via email.

The one click policy is really bothering for most clients... and it's so unfortunate since any investment activity should not be bothered by such trivial matter.

First Impression: quick account opening and instant deposit.

But when it's time to withdraw, there's an incorrect pin notification. It's weird as I never change the pin.

What's worse is I have requested pin recovery for 5 times, each request takes up to 24 hours for verification, and every one of them always results with similar email replies; none of them takes me to a certain page revealing my new pin.

Ian Thompson

What an amazing experience I have with FBS.... Deposit went super fast. Now, what about the withdrawal? is everything still the same if I request $1000 withdrawal?

Ax_henderson

This broker is ok for me. Account funding is good without the fixed rate, quick process, and the MT4 server is also great. It is only the withdrawal that I'm not sure about.

TradeWisely

I don't have the slightest intention to smear their reputation, but what they did to me is just too cruel.

They did me wrong in so many things. But the most hurtful one is when they manipulate the closing price. Imagine to always got your price chopped when you're in the profit and to always have your price added when you're loss. Yes!! That's what happens to me regularly.

Just consider wisely before choosing this broker. You will find that you lost your money most of the times with this broker.

Philip Carl

I had the worst experience trading with FBS.

I opened a Buy Stop on EU a few days ago, but the order was executed when the price moved lower. I checked it later and there was no evidence that the pair visited my Buy Stop level.

I've sent many complaints about it via email. And sadly none of them haven't been answered. Where is their responsibility????

Preeston

I like FBS better and better every day. Their condition is one of (if not) the most accommodating for every type of traders. It really puts them in a high position among other brokers. Their cent account with leverage up to 1:1000 is a great opportunity for small traders to profit immensely.

Andrea Maxwell

I'm one of FBS' loyal clients. I can testify that their payment process is always quick (only 1-2 hours), with low spread and responsive client support.

Their 60% deposit bonus is also very helpful as a trading credit. I manage to earn more than 500$ with the bonus.

El Major

Not bad. I give them 7.5/10.

Just wish that they keep prioritizing their clients and not make their tricks too harmful for clients' funds.

Icarus

why did it take so long just to make a deposit.. argh!!

Jack.presley

Spread in my GBPUSD trades suddenly went up to 700 pips, but it benefited me since I place the trades in the correct position. But then my profits were canceled. Isn't it an obvious sign that they really manipulate the pricing?

Soren

I almost "cheated" on my current broker to trade with FBS. What makes me avoid trading with this broker is the negative rumours spread among my trader friends. They said that getting verified in FBS is a nightmare. Also, the bonuses are mostly unwithdrawable.

Tinke Natalie

Watch out for their bonus programs. Trading with the bonus account can disrupt your margin level. One of my clients got MC although his margin level is still 1000%. In my opinion, this kind of condition really mess up the money management. However, it's true that their withdrawal process is top-notch.

Barbera33

A little fact about this broker, they like to increase spreads on pending orders. At times it can even reach 40 pips. I saw it with my own two eyes a couple of weeks ago in my GU trades. 

But I think it's quite normal even though some reviews have said the same thing about their "interest" to disturb GU spreads.

Speaking of withdrawal and deposit, I gotta admit that FBS is pretty good with them. They also give some traders 30% bonus for deposit to add their margin. Execution is fine and I never meet requotes

Abys Ryan

They said withdrawals only take 1-3 hours, but the fact is I haven't got my fund in more than 2 days. Where does my money go? It's like they disappear up in the air

Didier Z

I sometimes doubt FBS considering their bad rep among traders. Most of their reviews are negative especially concerning their SL/TP execution that result in so many loss positions.

Edwin Calahan

A few days ago my hedging position got MC. They put back my positions only after I emailed them about it.

Just so you know, spread widening is their go-to answer for this kind of problem

Dicky Shepherd

I'm so disappointed in FBS. They modified my SL to increase my loss and canceled my Pending Order without any reason. I later learn that my Pending Order would've been ended up with profit if it was not canceled.

Santiago

I lost my trades two times just because of the MT4's poor performance. Their platform somehow differs from other brokers', both for the pricing and the indicator application. They failed my Stoploss so many times it makes me wonder why it seems like they don't bother to conceal their fraud at all

Nigel Peterson

Most of the time the platform will disconnect. When it re-connects everything becomes lagging.

DominicFx

This broker is a thief

When the market watch shows 00.00-02.00, the spread will jump and it can be up to 12 pips.

This is what makes many traders loss imo

Anders G.madsen

Try to use an EA and u'll find many requotes and invalid prices

Marteen Khyrs

After suffering an MC I was traumatized for two years. But then I found FBS about a year ago and I can say that their service is near perfect. The server is reliably fast and my withdrawal is accepted in less than 24 hr.

No requote in sight so far...

Alan 1156

The most accomplished broker I know. Almost all of the necessary trading feature is here. Withdrawal via local banks is also available, n the process is super fast XD

DanyHeit

Two thumbs up for FBS. It is one of the most recommended brokers. They have customer support like no other. They don't make excuses. During my 1.5 year experience with them, everything's still fine.

Steve Wayne

I've tried trading here with low deposit and the service is pretty satisfying. Each problems are replied within 24 hours. I hope my withdrawal next month is also good, fast, and simple. Go FBS!

N Atika

FBS cheated my xau/usd trade. I got MC at 1480.93 while the price on MT4 is at 1479.39...

Vladimir R.

I'm very struck by the possibility of operating pharmaceutical actions with FBS. In these times of the Coronavirus, the health issue is in the first place, it's interesting to be able to trade the shares of pahrmaceutical companies.
