ForTrade Review Conclusions:

Founded in 2011, ForTrade is an FCA-UK regulated CFD Broker which is based in London. ForTrade provides good safety of trader's funds and offers compensation cover of £50,000 per individual account.

One of the greatest advantages when trading with ForTrade is the wide asset index that contains 150 different instruments. There is a great variety of Forex pairs (60 pairs), plus indices, commodities, shares, and ETFs. It is particularly interesting that you can trade Gold against three different currencies (USD, EUR, and GBP). You can trade also Bitcoin and US Treasuries (CFDs on 5-year, 10-year, and 30-year securities). The platforms available include a Desktop Trader and a WebTrader plus 2 mobile apps for Android and iPhone. All trading platforms are very easy to use, even for beginners.

As concerns trading accounts, there is the standard account (Dealing-Desk) which requires a $100 minimum deposit and can be funded via Cards, Wire, Neteller, and Skrill. The standard account does not involve any trade commissions but the spreads are expensive and start at 3.0 pips on EURUSD. The capital leverage for trading Forex is 30:1.

Overall, ForTrade is a good choice for those trading equities and a very good choice for all beginners. Due to the wide spreads, ForTrade is not a good choice for day traders and scalpers. ForTrade offers a 30% Welcome bonus and a free practice account ($10,000 virtual funds).
