I am looking for some explanation and experience. I was scrolling trough forums and I found a topic about the promotions that some brokers offer. At the first glance it seems cool, I mean one of them double your initial deposit and etc. but also I heard people saying all of these promotions are just for advertisement and they actually have no use.
really? that sound like scam.
I would appreciate to hear from your experiences guys.
so many brokers offer deposit bonus even more than 100% , but honestly speaking most of bonuses i found as scam and practically due to restrictions these kind of bonuses cant be used.
To be honest, it is also through this forums that I realized that these bonuses are usually red flags. I had a friend who was able to claim $10 sign-up bonus with his broker and heâs been trading with this broker every now and then. But there are more people who have been scammed so I would stay away from these.
Not all âbonusesâ are scams. Most probably are. But I think this depends on the broker. Oanda just had a âwinter dealâ. Up to $10K for a new account. Of course for that bonus amount you had to deposit like $50k or $100k.
But the minimum was $250. Deposit that, and in 45 days, you get $250 added to your account, as long as you meet the minimum trade volume requirement. I think for this one it was trading 35000 units.
they handle it by almost never needing to pay out because of the small print in the terms and conditions, together with the reality that very, very few traders attracted by a âbig bonus offerâ are ever going to trade profitably in the long term (their market research has correctly taught them that)
it might be hard to identify a perfect one (especially because different people can want slightly different things from a broker)
but itâs actually dead easy to avoid at least 99% of the disasters and accidents: all you need to do is choose a broker regulated by the FCA or ASIC - how difficult is that?!
Actually, there are many brokers who offer big deposit bonuses as part of their promotion. Most of the brokers are scammed too. Consider the regulation of a broker before investing into a broker.
Hmm, where ever I go I face with the regulation thing. But How should I know what they offer is useful actually and not just a strategy to attract clients? Itâs a bit skeptical but they wonât do anything against their own profit.
