I feel like this broker is better than most of my old brokers. But I have only been trading with them for less than a year and tend to hold long positions. I am more of an investor than a trader. I have only been withdrawing about three times, I think? So far, I have never had any problems with it. For a long-term trader, this broker is quite accommodating regarding swap, slippage, and spreads. I found it pretty affordable.
