I once set up an account on SW MARKETS and was given $30 for trading. After making a profit, I found my account emptied the next morning without any withdrawal request from my side. The online support was unavailable, and I couldn’t get any assistance. This platform feels like a scam, and I urge everyone to be cautious.

The trading app from SW MARKETS is convenient, but I find the leverage options to be quite limiting for someone like me who seeks high profits. Overall, it’s a decent platform, but it could offer more flexibility.

While SW MARKETS may not have the widest selection of trading products, their platform is user-friendly and transparent. The tools available are quite useful, making it a comfortable trading experience. I would recommend it to those looking for a straightforward broker.

The web version of SW MARKETS lagged quite a bit, which was frustrating. However, the mobile app worked well for me. The selection of trading assets is limited, but I appreciated the tight spreads on forex trading. Overall, it needs improvement.
