我的朋友和我推薦的這個公司,我在瀏覽他的網站和wikifx的界面之後覺得很不錯。我現在要開一個模擬賬戶嘗試一下,如果體驗不錯的話再考慮真實賬戶。

City Index has more than 15 years’ experience in forex and it does has a regulated FCA license. No minimum deposit amount, high leverage up to 1:500, variable spreads from just 0.8 pips, no commission charged except stocks, mt4 is also offered! As i tested on their demo accounts, everything performs like they advertise. But their payment option is too limited to credit cards, bank transfers and PayPal, other popular e-payments such as Skrill and Neteller are excluded.
