My experience trading with Themax Financial Limited? Let's just say - a good challenge. The account-opening speed was decent, like a brisk jog, but after you get in, the ride gets bumpy. Withdrawals? Well, you'd have better luck waiting for a bus in the middle of a desert - a long and drawn-out process. And let's not forget customer support, more elusive than a black cat at midnight. Getting answers felt harder than finding a needle in a haystack. As for trading costs and options, they were more twisted than a pretzel. Decoding them was like solving a cryptic crossword puzzle. I'd say, if you're into a bit of an adrenaline rush, Themax might just be your cup of tea! Definitely not for the faint-hearted."

Slippage was probably the biggest headache. One time a market order slipped over 30 pips and cost me hundreds in losses immediately. Can't be having that, especially with my limited capital starting out. The spreads were wider than I expected as well. I was paying significantly more per trade than some friends using other brokers. Adds up quick and eats into profits.
