About a year ago I found about the trading world and I wanted to start trading for real but I was just too scared and every broker I've found wasn't really beginner friendly. But then a friend told me about 500. Trade, he said he's been using it for over a year and also started trading with them.
So I started using it about 8-9 months ago. I used the education center and seminars, and mainly the demo account to try trading without risking my own money.
When I started gaining confidence, I deposited some money and started trading for real. I had a pretty rough start and was losing money. Was thinking about stopping and leaving this whole trading thing. But I got back to the online education center, and started talking with the online support, and the customer service was really quick and helpful.
I decided to continue thanks to the guys at the chat support and my friend. Slowly I started making some profit, today I have a silver account, getting closer and closer to a gold account.
A great broker, I believe that if my friend hadn't told me about it I wouldn't be trading today. The education center is great, and the online support chat was really quick and helpful. Would recommend this broker to everyone, beginner or professional.
