I’m Arjun from Chennai and I’ve been trading major FX pairs and gold on a Standard account for about 6 months. Overall my experience with Orbex has been positive: order placement is smooth and I haven’t seen any scary surprises like random requotes when volatility is normal. Spreads are generally acceptable for my style (mostly intraday, 5–30 minute holds), and the account area is simple enough to navigate. Deposits have been straightforward for me—once credited, the balance reflects quickly and I can get to trading without chasing confirmations. Withdrawals have worked, but they aren’t always as fast as I’d like; one payout took longer than my previous broker, and I had to check the status more than once. Support is helpful when you reach the right person. Live chat answers basic queries quickly, but for more detailed questions (like swap rules on specific symbols) I had to follow up via email to get a clear, written reply. Not perfect, but reliable enough that I’m continuing to use it while I test another account in parallel.

Reliable execution on Orbex

Spreads were competitive during London session and I had no major slippage issues on major pairs. Mobile app works well for monitoring positions.

Smooth MT4 setup and decent spreads, but withdrawals could be faster

I’m Kavya from Kolkata and I’ve been trading mainly EURUSD and XAUUSD on a Standard account. Account opening and KYC were straightforward and I was able to get MT4 running quickly on my laptop. Spreads felt reasonable for my style (mostly intraday), and execution was stable during normal sessions. My only real downside so far is that withdrawals are not always as quick as I’d like. It’s not that I couldn’t withdraw, but the processing time felt inconsistent from one request to the next. Support was polite and answered my questions, but sometimes I had to follow up once to get a clear timeline. Overall I’m satisfied and will keep using it, but I’d rate it higher if the withdrawal processing was more predictable.

Stable execution but onboarding took a bit

I’m based in Abu Dhabi and I opened a Standard account mainly to trade EUR/USD and gold on intraday setups. The platform connection stayed stable for me and I didn’t notice random disconnects, which is a big plus. Spreads were generally reasonable during normal hours, and my stop/limit orders triggered where I expected most of the time. The only part that felt slow was the onboarding/KYC steps—nothing unusual, just more back-and-forth than I expected because I uploaded one document in the wrong format and had to resend it. After the account was fully verified, deposits were straightforward and credited quickly. Support was polite and clear when I asked about margin requirements and trading hours, but the first reply took a few hours. Overall it’s been a solid experience for my style, with small friction at the start.
