    Account Types/Fees

    Demo Account: BDSWISS provides a demo account that allows you to try out the financial markets without the risk of losing money.

    Live Account: BDSWISS offers four account types: Cent, Classic, VIP, and Zero-Spread. The minimum deposit to open an account is $10, $10, $250 and $100 respectively. The threshold to open an account at BDSWISS is quite low. However, we should also realize that too little capital not only reduces losses, but also reduces profitability. Therefore, you may find it “unexciting” or unprofitable. In addition, accounts with smaller initial deposits tend to have poorer trading conditions.

    Account comparison

    Leverage

    BDSWISS offers a maximum leverage of up to 1:2000 for all account types, which is a generous offer and ideal for professional traders and scalpers. However, since leverage can magnify your profits, it can also result in a loss of capital, especially for inexperienced traders. Therefore, traders must choose the right amount according to their risk tolerance.

    Trading Platforms

    As for the trading platform, BDSWISS provides its clients with many options.

    There is a public platform - MT5 that has served many clients worldwide, also BDSWISS's own platforms - BDSwiss Mobile App and WebTrader.

    If you do not want to spend time familiarizing yourself with a new platform, you can choose MT5. But BDSWISS's own platform provides better compatibility with businesses, as they are specially developed and customized platforms. The choice is yours.

    I want to share my experience with BDSwiss, a broker regulated by the Financial Services Authority Seychelles (License No: SD047). For 5 years I have been a member of this forex company. On November 22, 2024, I submitted a withdrawal request for $93 USD, but after 27 days, I have yet to receive my funds. Despite repeated follow-ups with their support team, I have only received vague responses without any resolution or clear timeline. I have also filed a formal complaint with the Financial Services Authority Seychelles (FSA), but unfortunately, no outcome has been provided so far. This delay has caused significant frustration and raises serious concerns about the company's reliability and commitment to its clients. I urge others to exercise caution when dealing with this broker and to consider alternative options. If you've faced similar issues, I encourage you to report your experience to the appropriate regulatory authorities and share it to warn others.
