It is still difficult for me to draw any independent conclusions about this broker, since I don't yet have much practical experience trading on its platform. But I can say that I know about its reputation. I'm an expert in the field of Octa reviews :) as I studied many of them, and also spent a lot of time checking this company. It is a reliable broker with honest trading conditions.

War fast ein Jahr Kunde, aber seit den Neuerungen im letzten Monat, gab es nur noch Probleme. Deshalb habe ich vorraussehend fast alles Geld abgehoben. Wurde Heute ohne Grund mit einer bösen Mail gesperrt und an den rest Geld kann ich sehen wie ich heran komme. ALSO bitte last es sein

OCTAFX IS NOT A TRUSTED BROKER. LESS THAN 2 MTHS I AM FACING BLOCKING ON WITHDRAWAL FROM MY OWN ACCOUNT ON OCTAFX. EVEN AFTER EXPLAINED, THEY WILL ASKED THE SAME Qs AND CREATE NEW DIFFICULT JUST TO STOP YOU ON WITHDRAWAL. FIRSTLY THEY WILL DENIED IN RECEIVING THE REQUESTED STATEMENT AND AFTER THAT THEY SAID THEY CANT FIND THE TRANSACTIONS ON THE STATEMENTS EVEN WAS OBVIOUSLY THERE, THEN THEY WILL SAID THEY CANT SEE IT. AFTER WITH ALL THE EVIDENCES PROVIDED, THEY WILL COME OUT WITH DIFFERENT DATE OF STATEMENT REQUEST AND IS OBVIOUS THAT WAS EXPLAINED IN MULTIPLE TIMES STATEMENT DATE CUT OFF.
