I’m Omar from Dubai and I’ve been using Orbex mainly for EUR/USD and GBP/USD day trades. The account setup and verification didn’t drag on, and the platform connection has been stable on my side. Spreads on majors were generally competitive during normal market hours, and order execution felt consistent for my lot sizes (I’m not scalping news). The only reason I’m not giving 5 stars is that fees/conditions are explained across a few pages, so I had to double-check details like swap and some instrument-specific specs. Deposits by card worked first time and showed up quickly. Withdrawals were okay but not as fast as I’d like—still received, just took longer than I expected for a standard request. Support was polite and followed up, but I’d prefer a clearer single answer the first time instead of a couple of back-and-forth messages.

Solid execution on majors, app could be smoother

I’m Neha from Hyderabad and I’ve been trading mostly EURUSD and XAUUSD on a Standard account. Overall my experience with Orbex has been positive. Spreads on majors were reasonable during normal hours and my market orders filled without weird re-quotes. The platform setup was straightforward and I liked that the client area shows balance/equity clearly. What I didn’t love was the mobile experience. A couple of times the app felt laggy when switching between charts and order history, and I had to re-login once after an update. It didn’t cause a loss, but it’s annoying when you’re managing a trade. Deposits worked fine for me and reflected quickly. Withdrawals came through, but not as fast as I expected the first time, so I’m keeping my rating slightly lower there. Support replied politely and actually answered my questions instead of sending generic links. I’ll continue using them for now, but I’d like to see smoother mobile performance and more consistent withdrawal turnaround times.

Steady execution and clean MT4 setup, but withdrawals aren’t always fast

I’m Omar from Ajman (UAE) and I’ve been trading mostly majors and gold. My overall experience with Orbex has been positive: the MT4 setup was straightforward, spreads on the pairs I trade are generally reasonable, and I haven’t had random disconnections during active sessions. Deposits via my card went through quickly and the client portal is easy to navigate. The only thing that stops me from giving 5 stars is withdrawals. Most of the time it’s fine, but I’ve had one withdrawal that took longer than I expected and I had to follow up with support to get a clear timeline. Support was polite and did respond, but I prefer more proactive updates. If you’re looking for a stable platform and don’t mind occasional extra waiting on cash-outs, it’s been workable for me.

Mostly smooth experience, but withdrawals could be clearer

I’m Sara from Abu Dhabi and I’ve been trading FX majors and a bit of gold on a Standard account for the last 6 months. Overall the platform felt stable and execution was fine for my style (mostly intraday, not scalping). Deposits went through quickly and the client area is straightforward. What kept this from being a full 5 stars is the withdrawal process. It did pay out, but the steps and status updates weren’t very transparent and I had to double-check what was happening in the portal. Support was polite and answered, but I still felt I was piecing the process together myself. If they improve the communication around withdrawal timelines and status, I’d rate it higher. For general trading, it’s been reliable for me so far.

Smooth start on Standard account, app could be cleaner

I’m Vikram Sharma from Chennai and I’ve been using Orbex on a Standard account for about 6 months. Getting onboard was straightforward and the platform connection stayed stable during my usual evening sessions (mostly EURUSD and XAUUSD). Spreads felt reasonable for the account type, and I didn’t notice any weird disconnects. Deposits landed quickly, but the payment screen inside the client area feels a bit cluttered and I had to double-check I selected the right method. Support was polite and gave clear steps when I asked about swapping between leverage settings, although replies weren’t always instant. Overall, it’s been a solid experience for my style (mostly swing/short intraday). I’d rate it higher if the client area UX was a little more intuitive and the funding flow had fewer clicks.
