I've been using other broker's trading apps, but It's frustrating when you see price moves manipulated. But with GULF BROKERS, it's been a while trading with mobile apps and even on my desktop. With my demo account, no issues were found. Market execution is great. Thanks to the team and the management. God Bless.
