Our view of FBS
FBS stands out for 17 years of operating history, a low minimum deposit of $5, MetaTrader 4 and 5 and automated trading support. The main issues to consider are offshore-only regulation and no compensation scheme. Its suitability depends on the legal entity available in your country, the protection attached to that entity and whether its pricing and platform range match how you intend to trade.
Who FBS may suit
FBS may suit traders looking for a small first deposit, automated strategies, MetaTrader and high leverage.
Who should consider alternatives
Consider alternatives if you require copy trading and a compensation scheme, stronger regulatory protection or account terms that are not available through your local entity.
