Market Instruments
BullCFDs advertises that it enables traders to trade worldwide financial stocks, indices, numerous equities, 50+ forex pairs and a large number of commodities.
Account Types
Apart from demo accounts, BullCFDs claims to offer four types of trading accounts, namely Basic, Gold, Platinum and VIP. The minimum initial deposit amount is $250 for the Basic account, while the other three account types have much higher minimum initial capital requirements of $25,000, $50,000 and $150,000 respectively. In comparison, licensed brokers allow setting up a starter account with a minimum deposit of $100 or even less.
Leverage
The leverage offered by BullCFDs is capped at 1:500, which is much higher than that provided by most brokers. It is important to keep in mind that the greater the leverage, the greater the risk of losing your deposited capital. The use of leverage can both work in your favour and against you.
Spreads
BullCFDs claims that different account types can enjoy quite different spreads. Specifically, the spread on the Basic account is regular, the Gold account has spread up to 10% markdown, while the Platinum account has a 20% markdown and the VIP account has a 25% markdown.

Expert Advisors, Algo trading, Complex indicators, and Strategy testers are some of the sophisticated trading tools available on this platform. There are currently 10,000+ trading apps available on the Metatrader marketplace that traders can use to improve their performance.

Deposit & Withdrawal
BullCFDs website says to work with credit/debit cards, bank transfers and wallet transfers. However, the real acceptable deposit method is credit cards, wire transfers, Bitcoin, USDT ERC20 and USDT TRC20. The minimum initial deposit requirement is said to be $250. The minimum withdrawal amount is $50 or $100 depending on the payment method.
The broker also charges 3.5% withdrawal fees, but no less than $30. Different account clients can have different free withdrawal times. For example, the Basic account holders only have only 1 free withdrawal, while the Gold account has 1 free withdrawal each month, the Platinum account has 4 free withdrawals monthly and the VIP account members always have no withdrawal fees.
As for the processing time of withdrawal requests, the broker says it processes and approves most withdrawal requests within 3-4 business days. While it may take additional time for your chosen payment service provider to complete the transfer process.
Bonuses
BullCFDs claims to offer some bonuses. However, the bonus can only be withdrawn when the traders with an amount 1000 times the bonus.
In any case, you should be very cautious if you receive a bonus. First of all, bonuses aren't client funds, they're company funds, and fulfilling the heavy requirements that are usually attached to them can prove a very daunting and difficult task. Remember that brokers who are regulated and legitimate do not offer bonuses to their clients.
