The platform on offer is the powerful MetaTrader 4 which allows you to implement strategies of any complexity. Market and pending orders, Instant Execution, and trading from a chart stop order and trailing stop are just a few of the execution methods available. Analytical functions are one of the MetaTrader 4 platform’s strongest points. Online quotes and interactive charts with 9 periods allow you to examine quotes in all the details quickly responding to any price changes. 33 analytical objects and 30 built-in technical indicators greatly simplify this task.

Thousands of free and paid signals with various profitability and risk levels working on a demo and real accounts are at your fingertips. The built-in Market is the best place to find an Expert Advisor or the newest technical indicator. Almost any trading strategy can be formalized and implemented as an Expert Advisor so that it automatically does all the work for you. A trading robot can control both trading and analytics freeing you from the routine market analysis.

Leverage

The leverage on both accounts can go as high as 1:200, this can be selected when opening up an account and can be changed by contacting the customer service team. The website states that the leverage may state higher, but 1L:200 is the actual limit, even if a higher number is stated.

All withdrawal requests should be executed within 24 hours of the request being received. It will then take between 1 to 5 working days for your withdrawal request to fully process based on the method used or your own banks’ processing times.

Bonuses & Promotions

There is a 20% welcome bonus available to new clients. The full terms of the onus are not known such as how to convert the bonus into real funds. The actual promotion states:

“For a limited time only, take advantage of our deposit bonus! Fund now and receive a FREE cash bonus added to your account. The more cash you deposit, the more Free Cash you get.”

So this makes it seem like the bonus is cash, which we would find hard to believe, without knowing the full terms we cannot comment on how profitable the bonus is.

Educational & Trading Tools

There are quite a few different tools and educational content on the site. There is a VPS on offer, however, at the moment, it states that this service is temporarily unavailable. There is a currency converter, trading calculators including pips, margin, Fibonacci,m pivot points, CFD profit/loss, and stop-loss limit calculators. There are daily signals which are updated daily, TradingView charts, trading signals using MQL5, an economic calendar detailing upcoming news events, and trading charts. There is also some education that consists of Webinars, video libraries, daily financial news, live quotes, and a section about teaching the basics of forex and trading.

Customer Service

There are plenty of ways to get in touch with IMMFX who are available to contact 24 hours a day 5 days a week. You can use the online submission form, simply fill in your query and you should get a reply via email. You can also use the UK or USA phone number and there are email addresses available for general inquiries, technical support, partnerships, finance, sales & marketing, compliance department, human resources, and portfolio management.

Demo Account

Demo accounts are a great way to test out new strategies without any risk to your own capital. IMMFX offers these accounts, they have unlimited usage, offer real market conditions, 1 click trading, and have a balance of up to $50,000. The conditions will mimic the real trading accounts so you can get a better feel for the conditions on offer from the real accounts.

Countries Accepted

This information is not available on the site and so we would suggest getting in touch with the customer service team to see if you are eligible for an account prior to signing up.

Conclusion

The trading conditions available from the two accounts are pretty competitive, the spreads on the Pro account are low when we compare to other non-commission based accounts, the commission on the Pro Plus account is a little higher than the average $6 sitting at $8 but this is nothing that should put you off trading thee. There are also a lot of tradable assets and plenty of ways to deposit and withdraw, the main downside is the withdrawal fees, some of them can be a little high so make sure the method you would be using is not one of the expensive ones. There are also plenty of ways to contact the customer service team which is great.
