Rock-West Review 2025

I chose Rock-West primarily because of its support for SEPA and Visa/Mastercard for deposits and withdrawals. The minimum deposit is $50, and spreads are competitive, especially on major pairs. I mainly trade currency pairs and metals, and my balance has stayed roughly steady: from a $100 deposit, I reached $110 in three weeks, though there were sessions with losses up to $15. It’s great that there are no restrictions on strategies, so scalping is allowed.

I first heard about Rock-West on a trading forum. I signed up because I was interested in the ability to copy trades without extra fees and the wide selection of instruments — over 100 CFDs, including commodities and indices. The minimum lot is 0.01, and the platform supports both the proprietary app and MetaTrader 5. After two months, my balance grew by $120 from a $150 deposit. I traded cautiously and had some drawdowns — the biggest was around $30, but I recovered it on news trades. A nice bonus is the user-friendly mobile version.

I chose Rock-West when I was looking for a broker with a minimum deposit under $100 and MT5 support. The minimum here is just $50, which was quite accessible for getting started. I was pleasantly surprised by the option to trade with floating spreads from 0.1 pips on EUR/USD and leverage up to 1:2000. After a month of active trading on the Standard account, I earned around $270 trading forex and crypto. I withdrew via Binance Pay — the funds arrived in 8 hours without any delays. So far, the experience has been positive and the service meets expectations.

Depositing through Binance Pay was smooth. The funds were credited instantly, with a limit up to $30,000. A SEPA transfer took nearly two days, but Rock-West did not charge a fee. Withdrawals are also free, though banks may apply charges. I used the demo account with $10,000 virtual funds to test strategies risk-free. Copy trading works without delay: trades are copied in real time. However, educational content is limited, and I wish the analytics section were updated more frequently.

I opened a Raw account, deposited $500, and saw nearly zero spreads. The broker charges a fixed $8 per lot, making total costs easy to calculate. Leverage on major currency pairs is limited to 1:1000, which suits my scalping strategy. More than 170 cryptocurrencies are available, and instant copy trading works without setup or fees. All you need to do is just to subscribe to a trader and trades mirror automatically. Claimed execution speed of 0.0002 seconds is noticeable during news events, with no requotes. Downsides include lack of 24/7 support and no PayPal option for deposits.

Trading with Rock-West was comfortable and cost-effective. I chose a Standard account, deposited $200, and immediately accessed 1:2000 leverage, which provides flexibility for scaling positions quickly. EUR/USD spreads start from 1.4 pips with no extra fees, so costs are predictable. Orders are executed on the external market with minimal slippage. I use both the mobile app (for trading on the go) and MT5 (for automated trading). Unfortunately, the educational section is very brief, and support does not respond at night, though this isn’t critical for my trading.
