Honestly, Mt.Cook’s fees are higher than some other brokers, which can eat into profits over time. Customer service is not professional either, unwilling to help me fix problems.

Hasta el momento creo que el servicio brindado por esta empresa es satisfactorio para mí. Su costo de transacción está dentro de un rango razonable, y tiendo a elegir una plataforma que brinde servicios MT4 cuando opere, y Mt.Cook satisface este punto. Pero vi información incorrecta en el sitio web de wikifx, me asusté un poco y estaba pensando en retirar todo mi dinero.
