TraderXP Review Summary
Customer Service: Live Chat was responsive on the different times of day that I utilized it. The support phone line was also responsive with a live operator.
Deposit/Withdrawal: Deposited with credit card and was able to activate right away. Withdrawal was completed within their suggested time frame.
Trading/Execution: Execution was satisfactory.
Features: Had most binary trading features, except for range trading and the take profit feature.
For the most part TraderXP provides a good trading experience. Particular items which stand out are as follows:
- Low minimum account requirement of $200.
- Toggle to different trade screens.
- Home page opens to trade screen.
- XP Metagraph expanded trading screen.
- Reduced trade risk – get back 10% on losing trades.
Probably the most important benefit is that TraderXP uses the SpotOption platform. SpotOption just received the first CySEC binary option license. With this new regulation in place it means that the trader has security under the financial laws of Cyprus.
