AFB FX Review

AFB FX is a forex and OTC futures broker based in Cyprus. By far the best feature offered by AFB FX is the availability of Professional Accounts, which offer highly flexible trading conditions. The spreads, margin requirements and virtually all other parameters are negotiable on Professional Accounts, making them the preferred choice among account managers. Having said that though, most of the other accounts also offer trading conditions that are quite reasonable.

Fairly low spreads, low deposit requirements (you can get started with $50) and the ability to trade in microlot increments, combined with Straight-through order processing (STP) are an attractive combination for most smaller traders (please note that microlots can be traded on all accounts, but that Standard, Advanced and Professional Account holders have to request this feature). Islamic style swap-free accounts are also available, offering a further incentive to some traders.

Also on offer are a wide range of mobile trading platforms, so as long as you have a relatively recent handset with data, you can always stay connected to the markets.

To top it off, AFB FX also offers trading in over-the-counter (OTC) futures, including major FX currencies, metals, energy commodities, soft commodities and equity indices.
