To start on a positive note, Vlado ticks the right boxes in terms of regulation, which is absolutely key to feel safe while trading. Their trading platform performance is top-notch, a smooth experience with hardly any technical hiccups / glitches - as fluid as it gets, really. Quick order execution? Check. They've got it covered. And for novices, their demo account feature is a great sandbox to find your bearings in the forex world without losing your shirt. However, where Vlado did draw some criticism from me was in the spreads department - like a wide river that can't be easily crossed. The cuts into my profits were a tad bit more than I'd liked. The commission structure was another area where I was left hoping for improvement. Great if you're a high volume trader, maybe not so much for those starting off or trading moderate amounts.
