I’ve been trading with DMM FX for a few months now, and I appreciate the low spreads and the user-friendly platform. The mobile app is particularly convenient for trading on the go. However, I wish they had a wider selection of currency pairs available for trading.

My experience with DMM FX has been frustrating. I faced delays in withdrawals that took longer than expected, and customer support was not very helpful in resolving my issues quickly. I hope they can improve their response times.

I had a very disappointing experience with DMM FX. The app often crashes during peak trading hours, making it impossible to execute trades. Additionally, I encountered unexpected fees on withdrawals which were not clearly communicated. I do not recommend this broker.
