I am not entirely satisfied with Connext's services. While the platform's execution speed is commendable, there are some shortcomings. Firstly, the asset selection is limited. Secondly, I encountered unprofessional behavior from the technical support team. After registering, I inquired about expert advisors, but the support representative mistakenly claimed the broker did not service Singaporean citizens. Upon clarifying my Chinese residency, the representative apologized and abruptly ended the chat. Fortunately, a more competent agent provided the necessary information about algorithmic trading the following day.

Six months ago, a Connext manager told me that they were going to add cryptocurrencies as a deposit and withdrawal method. However, this hasn’t happened yet. Otherwise, I like the broker’s services. Slippage is minimal, and even positive sometimes. All versions of MT5 are fast and freeze rarely. Spreads on the Standard account range from 0.8 pips to 2 pips. The automated negative balance protection prevents me from exceeding my account balance. Technical support is good, I can rate it 4 out of 5.

Connext has attracted me with the availability of cTrader alongside MT5. While I use cTrader for algorithmic trading, MT5 is more convenient for independent trading. Since Connext is a relatively new broker, I started with a demo account. After a couple of weeks, I felt confident enough to open a cent account. Now I have 5 different account types. For all settlements, I use bank transfer, which is the most reliable method, though not the fastest.
