stops don't work. Profits are fading away. 300 bucks flew away in 5 minutes. The support completely ignores them, they are doing well, there were no problems, and the stop worked exactly when I placed it. Fraudsters! Don't trust them!

Fraudsters, do you see prices from their sources. So if they have a gap in quotes with other sources, then this is not their problem. And this is when you enter the market. My advice: look for other brokers!

Friends, do not be fooled, this is all a scam. InterTrader 100% scammers. They convinced me to deposit money, but after I deposited $ 3,500 I did not return it back, no need to contact them.

I trade on the ECN network, and MT4 is a priority for me, so it was in this terminal that I first created a demo, and then a trading account for real transactions. I am sure that on ECN, in any case, liquidity and execution speed will be better than on STP. While everything is so. Spreads are minimal, as they should be. Commissions per lot are the same as those of more popular European brokers. Profit can be withdrawn for free if two conditions are met: either transfer more than 1000 euros, or submit no more than one withdrawal request per day. Through InterTrader, you can invest in both PAMM and MAM accounts, as well as trade using robots (the speed of execution allows). Of the minuses - a high deposit.

I also chose InterTrader for passive investing. To work with stocks, I use the services of another broker, although I do not exclude the possibility that over time I will transfer all my assets to the InterTrader platform. I did not use PAMM, because I decided that in my case the Multi-Account Manager would be optimal. The principle is similar, but the accounts of the manager and the investor are separate. It seems to me that this is more secure. So far, I have no complaints about this brokerage organization. I hope that InterTrader does not deteriorate in the future.

In a separate trading platform on InterTrader, I somehow did something wrong, but it was not the fault of the broker, I just have very little experience in transactions and no time to constantly monitor the state of the market and to make the right decisions. So, I lost almost $500. However, I do not refuse to cooperate with InterTrader. I use PAMM investing here. I got a good manager, he helps me earn a stable income, many deals are profitable.

I do not mind giving a good review for InterTrader. The company is worthy, except for the fact that it has a fairly high entry threshold, and there is simply no opportunity to open a cent account here. In general, I recommend that you bring it to the attention of professionals who want to work with a reliable and regulated broker. In legal terms, there are no claims to InterTrader that I can see. I use an ECN account on the site, which can be opened in MetaTrader 4. The broker also has a proprietary terminal, but I'm not ready to test it yet. Perhaps I will give it a try a little later.

Analysis of InterTrader conditions by experts at the Traders Union showed that the broker maintains a floating spread on all accounts as a trading commission. MT4 Accounts for Forex instruments also have a lot commission of 3 units of the base currency of the pair being traded in each direction. InterTrader does not charge deposit fees; however, when transferring funds via Skrill, the payment system will charge a fee of 3%. Only more than 1,000 USD/EUR/GBP can be withdrawn without commission. If the withdrawal amount is less, then only the first withdrawal within 24 hours will be free (from 12:00 of the current day to 12:00 of the next day, GMT +1), and for each subsequent withdrawal, the broker will withhold 5 USD/EUR/GBP. It should also be borne in mind that banks and card providers may charge additional fees for transactions.

MT4 account
This account allows you to trade Forex instruments and CFDs on indices and commodities. Spreads are also floating and start from 0.3 pips, but as an additional trading fee, the broker charges 3 units of the base currency of the traded pair per standard lot on each side.

Investment Options

Investment Programs, Available Markets and Products of the Broker

The services of InterTrader are popular not only among active traders but also among market participants who cannot or do not want to trade themselves. Passive investors can entrust their capital to experienced PAMM and MAM account managers. It is also possible to use automated advisors. Professional traders can earn passive income through referral programs or register as trust account managers.

InterTrader offers PAMM, МАМ, and expert advisors as options for passive investment 

InterTrader allows its Forex traders several solutions to generate income without trading independently. Passive investors can invest in trust accounts or resort to the help of robotic programs that will not only analyze the market but also make transactions.

Investment programs from InterTrader:

  • Percent Allocation Management Module (PAMM). The funds of the manager and the investor are transferred to one trading account in MT4. The manager uses it to complete transactions. Drawdown or profit is distributed between the manager and the investor in the percentage specified in the contract.

  • Multi-Account Manager (MAM). The principle of operation is similar to PAMM, but in the MAM system, the accounts of investors and the manager are separated from each other. The transactions made by the manager and are automatically copied to the accounts of the connected investors. You can work with MAM only in MT4.

  • Expert Advisors. The Broker’s clients who have chosen MetaTrader 4 as a trading terminal can install advisors for automatic and semi-automatic trading. The investor himself determines the options that are suitable for his strategy.

Every InterTrader client can become an investor. To do this, you need to install the MT4 terminal, select an acceptable type of investment and make a minimum deposit. The broker’s clients can also be account managers, but this requires obtaining the status of a licensed professional trader.
