OlympTrade Review

OlympTrade Account Features

OlympTrade doesn't have a huge variety of trading accounts to choose from. Although this seems to be odd, it gives all the traders equal features when trading. The fact that traders can only open similar account type makes everyone equal and there is a lot of democracy for all traders.

Traders can choose to open their trading account with US Dollars or Euros as the base currency. This choice is made during the account registration and can not be altered later on. Therefore, the trader should choose his or her base currency wisely.

The minimum deposit that a trader can make with this is $10 just like with IQ Option, which is low enough for even beginners with lower amounts of cash to invest. $10 is the lowest amount of minimum deposit that any trading platform in the field can ask for.

The OlympTrade offers a number of important features to all its traders who deposit funds with them. The trading account is equipped with free market analytics and personal account manager. The traders are also entitled to an easy access to financial market and a payout of up to 80%.

All traders who register with OlympTrade are qualified to get bonuses as well as other promotions offered by the trading platform. However, the terms and conditions of the bonuses are not laid out well on their website; they are left to your account manager to advise you accordingly. But we hope with time the trading platform will do all it can to make the terms and conditions more detailed and easily accessible.

This trading platform offers a demo account, and it is good to keep in mind that:

1. You have to be registered with the trading platform in order to be allowed access to the demo account.
2. The Demo account is funded with 10,000 virtual money which is more than enough for experimenting and also understanding the trading platform.
3. The demo account is also a very prime stage for testing new trading strategies.
4. Demo account is by all means recommended even to experienced traders.

All the features of the OlympTrade trading platform show they are set to serve all traders and especially the newbies.

OlympTrade Trading Software

OlympTrade uses its proprietary trading platform where registered traders can choose to trade different currency pairs and commodities.

Unfortunately, with their trading platform, the only type of options available for trading is the classic high/low option. The expiry time varies from 60 seconds to 3 hours.
