I had a terrible experience with CK Markets. I deposited funds but faced multiple issues trying to withdraw my money. It took over a month, and I still haven’t seen my funds. Their customer support was unresponsive and didn’t help at all. I feel scammed and would not recommend using this broker.

CK Markets has been a great platform for my trading needs. The MetaTrader 4 interface is user-friendly, and I’ve had a smooth experience with executing trades. I appreciate the variety of instruments available and the competitive spreads. Overall, it’s been a positive trading experience for me.

While I found the trading platform to be decent, I faced significant issues when trying to withdraw my funds. The process was slow, and communication from customer support was lacking. I’m hesitant to continue using CK Markets due to these withdrawal concerns.

I’ve been trading with CK Markets for a few months now and overall, I’m satisfied. The account options suited my needs and the execution speed has been quite good. However, I did encounter a minor issue with customer support that took some time to resolve, which is why I didn’t give a full five stars.
