SpeedTrader Review 2024

At SpeedTrader, I liked the ability to choose a brokerage commission. The first option implies a volume fee, but the second option is more suitable for my strategy - a fixed commission per trade. Although the broker inspires confidence with the presence of a regulator and the ability to return funds under an insurance policy in case of bankruptcy, I still thought for a long time before opening an account. The reason for my hesitation was the high requirements for the initial deposit: to start working, you need to replenish your account in the amount of at least 2500 USD. In order to be able to trade intraday, you need to have at least 30,000 USD on your account. This is the amount for large traders, which I am not yet.

SpeedTrader is a serious company with good conditions. Although there is a clearing fee, it is worth it because orders are executed instantly, and there are no delays in quotes. For those who hold positions for months, this is of course not important, but for intraday traders, of which I am one, this is vital. At the beginning of cooperation with Speed Trader, I was afraid of the high commissions, but if you work on several instruments and make 5-10 transactions every day, then the fees become less than most other companies with which I have cooperated in the past.

I have been a client of the company since 2017. Of course, comparing the SpeedTrader trading terminal with MetaTrader 4, which is offered by other brokers, is like putting a scooter and a sports car in the same contest. It's not even so much about the usability and a full set of tools, although these parameters are also at their best. The main thing is the speed of price submission and the availability of Nasdaq Level 2 quotes. On such a platform, only the lazy will not work. Among the disadvantages of SpeedTrader, I would like to point out the commission for inaction. But the plus of the broker is that he does not hide that he is focused on active traders. SpeedTrader provides all the conditions for intraday trading, so I'm not going to change my choice any time soon.

I have been trading with SpeedTrader for five months now. At first glance, it seemed to me that it was all so difficult, difficult. And then how it began ... There the manager will tell you. I'll read the news there. Some knowledge that I acquired pulled others along with it and it didn't seem so scary anymore. Moreover, I always have support and assistance in the person of my manager. In the last two months, everything is somehow easy for me. Probably, there is still some period that needs to be overcome and then trade confidently and calmly.

I chose SpeedTrader because I recently became interested in the stock market, and I have no experience in trading, and this company offers a full range of investment management services. Of course, at first, I felt discomfort, entrusting the management of my money to strangers, but now I see that the company employs trading professionals. In addition, all operations are preliminarily agreed upon, and a detailed report is received for each of them. It is a pity that SpeedTrader does not offer introductory courses, because before starting to trade on my own, I had to look for other (outside) resources with free training.

Having become a client of SpeedTrader, for the first time I applied the routing services offered by the broker. The bottom line is that the order for the instrument that was selected for trading was automatically redirected to the exchange where the currently more favorable price was offered. Sometimes, especially if the order was executed on significant news, this substantially affects the profit on the transaction. I will not say that the commissions are small, but considering that SpeedTrader provides direct access to exchanges, cooperation with the company is justified.

I have not yet become an oligarch, but there is a great desire to work in the stock market. The problem was that I could not find a broker that provides leverage (I did not consider “kitchens” and fly-by-night companies), and trading with a minimum deposit without credit funds was uncomfortable. The problem was solved with SpeedTrader, when, after reviewing the application, my request was fulfilled on an individual basis. True, the process was long: It was a very thorough approach and required checking often with the company's managers. But, on the other hand, this suggests that SpeedTrader is a serious organization. I hope I won't be disappointed.
