    Iron FX is by far the best trading website I have used and it’s pricing is very competitive. I have no complaints; they have been very cooperative handling all of my questions. Have been with them for 3+ years now. Highly recommend them. I see their charting but don’t really trade with it but it is a good reference for me.

    The website is great, and the fact that you can copy good (or very good) traders allows you to make money without lifting a finger. It works great if you choose the right people. Plus, you can trade on your own and learn the ways quite easily (make sur to know the diff. between BUY and SELL…).

    Whilst Iron FX is a good platform to use, there’s a lot to be said for their spreads and the numerous occasions that trading has been halted under volatility triggering sl’s / tp’s. I still use the platform but try make it work for me around the aforementioned issues.

    So far, so good. I have been approved, No trading still in real account. In demo account I am concerned about common error and market execution in MT4 that sometimes happen, not letting you enter a trade. At the same time, in another broker, I can execute the trade with no problem. Very good chat support.

    I don’t like the glitchy bugs they some times have with the system and login and they need a better more interactive customer service / support.
