I faced significant issues with withdrawals. After requesting a withdrawal of $2,500, my request was ignored for weeks. Customer support was unresponsive, and I felt frustrated and anxious about my funds. I would not recommend STP Trading based on my experience.

Overall, my experience with STP Trading has been positive. The MetaTrader 5 platform is user-friendly, and I appreciate the variety of trading instruments available. Customer support was helpful when I needed assistance, though there were some delays. Still, I plan to continue trading with them.

STP Trading is nothing but a scam. I lost my entire deposit due to their lack of communication and support. I tried reaching out multiple times regarding my account issues, but no one responded. I regret choosing this broker and urge others to stay away.

I have been trading with STP Trading for a few months now, and I’m quite satisfied. Their spreads are competitive, and I love the copy trading feature. Customer support has been great, answering my queries promptly. The trading experience has been smooth and enjoyable.
