Trading Platform Available

Instead of the world's most advanced and popularly-used MT4 and MT5 platforms, Olympia Markets gives traders a web-based trading platform. Traders had better choose the broker who offers MT4 and MT5, which are highly praised by traders and brokers alike due to their ease of use and great functionality. MT4 and MT5 offer top-notch charting and flexible customization options. They are especially popular for their automated trading bots, a.k.a. Expert Advisors.

This does not mean that there are no hidden ones. Withdrawals are processed between 5-10 days.

Bonuses

Olympia Markets appears to offer some bonuses, however, you should note that the bonus can only be withdrawn when a required trading volume is achieved. In any case, you should be very cautious if you receive a bonus. 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. Note that brokers are prohibited from using bonuses and promotions by all leading regulators.

Olympia Markets customer support can be reached by telephone: +44 203 954 6382, email: support@olympiamarkets.info. The broker lists an address of 14 Terbatas Street, 4th & 5th floors, Riga LV1011 Latvia. However, it seems to be just a Regus temporary office space.
