Forex4You Review

Extensive Review

Providing services since 2007, Forex4you is mostly out of the spotlight even though their trading conditions can be regarded as one of the most flexible among other forex brokerages. Setting headquarters in the British Virgin Islands, this broker is currently under the regulation of local financial regulatory called the BVI Financial Services Commission (BVIFSC).

After opening an account with Forex4you, traders can choose leverage as high as 1:1000, thanks to the relatively loose policy from BVIFSC.  Forex4you divide their account types by execution. Between the 4 accounts available, two adopt instant execution (Cent & Classic) while the remaining two call for market execution (Cent NDD & Pro STP). For traders choosing accounts with instant execution, there will be no trading commissions charged, but the spread is a bit high as it settles on 2 pips range (at the minimum). On the other hand, account types with market execution can give a floating spread from 0.1 pip despite charging a commission starting from $8 per lot.

Forex4you provides no Swap-Free feature, so this broker is not Sharia-compliant. Still, it is quite interesting to note that this broker provides an alternative on platform trading, so traders can try to trade on another platform with a new interface should they feel restricted by MetaTrader4 limits. The said platform is uniquely Forex4you's trading technology, which is available on WebTrader and Mobile App.

Forex4you also highlights their own Social Trading platform hailed as Share4you, which allows all traders to play as either Leaders or Followers. Both sides have mutual advantages, as Leaders are granted additional fees from their Followers while the Followers can copy trades which makes their transactions a lot easier and reliable as the signals come from more experienced traders.

Beyond their innovations on trading platforms as well as Social Trading facilities, Forex4you is quite transparent on their forex pairs' liquidity providers. However, they don't have a certain page dedicated to their Contract Specifications for other class assets.

Payment methods in Forex4you are quite limited, only available in Bank Transfer, Neteller, Skrill, WebMoney, and Credit Cards (Visa and Master Cards). This broker claims to have more than a million accounts all over the world, so it is believed that Forex4you is one of those forex brokers who perform steadily even if their popularity doesn't soar extremely high because of intense marketing schemes.

What makes trading in Forex4you stands out from is the remaining Cent Account which allows traders to trade with a contract size as low as 1000 units per lot. The ultra-small trading volume has been infamous for traders who want to trade in a real account with very minimal risk. However, the numbers of broker offering Cent features are gradually lessening as retail traders seem to keen on taking more risks. Yet, Forex4you maintains their Cent Account offering, not only in one type but in two types of execution so beginners can make their own choice on spread over commission or otherwise.

All in all, Forex4you is one of the preferred choices for a forex broker if you look for flexibility in trading conditions and an advanced platform in Social Trading. Also, the remaining Cent Account offers an interesting option even for experienced traders who look for spare accounts to try out new strategies. Nevertheless, it is not highly recommended for trading with big money as the company is registered in an offshore jurisdiction. Forex4you also tends to fly under the radar as the broker rarely generates buzz in the brokerage industry.
