Already in 2005, he decided to move her to the City of London, which largely raised the status of a dealing center. By 2009, the Forex brand has gained undeniable recognition in Europe – primarily in such countries, Italy and Germany. Subsequent promotion brought the company popularity in South America, Southeast Asia and Russian Federation.

Analytical and Training Section
The broker publishes daily analytical reviews of various financial markets. However, the materials presented are based only on technical analysis without taking into account the influence of other interrelated factors. That is why to find among them any unique research does not work.
In addition to analytics, the company provides a training section. Among the materials in the public domain there is information that allows you to get acquainted with the broker’s products, as well as understand the basics of trading. For more experienced customers, ActivTrades provides a personalized training program. We were unable to find information about the content of the special course. However, the site indicates that, having passed such training, the client will thoroughly master the theory and practice of trading in financial markets.
