Videforex: Trading Platform Review & User Opinions 2024

A CFD and binary option trading platform that was set up during the first quarter of 2016, Videforex is a trademark that belongs to a company called Financial Group Corp (FGC). However, the management and operation of the Videforex trademark is done by a separate company, called Suomen Kerran LP, which has its head office is located in Edinburgh, Scotland.

While it may seem that this broker is another typical binary option trading platform, what we found during the course of our review, is that Videforex has something that makes it really stand out from all the rest of the binary options trading platforms that we have come across. For once, here is a broker that literally greets you when you log on to your trading account at Videforex. This is largely because Videforex is the only platform in the entire binary options trading industry that has provided a live video feed of the people that you talk to on live chat, email or telephone.

Innovative Live video chat: The live video feed used by the customer support team is a nice touch and sets the broker apart from others in the industry.

Wide range of underlying assets: There is good selection of more than a hundred underlying assets that traders can choose from to trade with.

Easy to use trading platform: The Videforex trading platform is specifically designed to be easy to operate and hence requires little or no training at all to start trading.

Multiple choices of trading accounts: Traders at Videforex can choose from a total of 3 different types of trading accounts. They include the Bronze account, the Silver account and the Gold account.

Lacks Comprehensive trading tools: The Videforex trading platform lacks any advanced tools which traders can use to enhance their trading abilities.

In terms of trading conditions, this is primarily dependent upon the type of underlying asset that is being traded. While the typical return on investment at Videforex is around 80%, it is possible to earn a maximum payout of up to 95% if the conditions in the markets are ripe for the picking.

In terms of underlying assets that are available for trading at Videforex, there is a wide selection to choose from. On offer are 80 different types of stocks, 15 currency pairs, 9 types of commodities and 13 types of market indices. We were pleasantly surprised that a new broker such as Videforex was able to offer such a wide diversity in terms of their trading assets. From that, we get the impression that this broker is making a considerable effort in carving a name for itself in the competitive binary trading industry.

Another interesting fact that we noted about Videforex is that their trading platform is web based and proprietary. While the majority of binary option brokers would prefer to adopt the genric trading platform which is adopted from a third party solutions provider, Videforex has opted to take the less travelled road by developing their own platform.

Overall, the trading platform is well designed hence making it easy to navigate around the platform. Although it lacks many of the advanced and sophisticated tools that we can find on the other platforms used by brokers in the industry, we sense that it is this simplicity which has drawn some traders to trade with Videforex. One of the main reasons why binary options trading have been so popular among online retail traders, is the fact that it is a financial vehicle that even novices can understand how to use within minutes of opening an account. Our guess is Videforex has intentionally built their trading platform in this manner just to keep things simple.

Being a client oriented broker, we were not surprised to find that Videforex does provide their clients with a mobile version of their web platform. This means that even when you are on the move, you can still keep in touch with all that is happening in the financial markets. Depending on the operating system of the mobile devices that you are using, the trading app can either be downloaded from Google Play Store or Apple’s App Store.

There is a demo account facility which potential clients of Videforex can access to try out the services offered by the broker. However in order to gain access to the demo account facility, you need to first register with Videforex for an account. Once you have registered your details with the broker, only then will you be able to try out the demo account.

Recognizing the fact that there are different traders with different levels of trading skills, Videforex has provided a selection of 3 different types of trading accounts. For beginner traders who are just starting out, there is the Bronze account. This account only requires a minimum deposit of $250 to open and comes with a 20% deposit bonus.

For traders with some trading experience, Videforex has provided them with the Silver trading account. The minimum deposit requirement for the Silver account is higher at $1000. As a silver trading account holder, you will be entitled to a 50% deposit bonus once you have funded your trading account. Apart from the higher deposit bonus, silver account holders can also receive extra perks such as “3 Risk Free Trades” and a trading tutorial called “Master Class”.

For VIP traders, Videforex has made available the Gold trading account. The Gold account requires a minimum deposit to open and comes with additional benefits such as 100% deposit bonus and the attention of a personal success manager.

Opening your trading account at Videforex is quite a straightforward process. First click on the navigational tab labeled “How to Start?” located at the top of the homepage. Next, click on “Open Account” and fill in the registration form. Once you have completed and submitted the form, you will be able to log in to your new trading account.

Withdrawal of funds at Videforex can be done through bank wire transfer, major credit cards and eWallets. For withdrawal through bank wire transfer, a $50 fee will be imposed by Videforex. In addition, the amount withdrawn must be at least $50. The good news about Videforex’s withdrawals is the fact that the broker guarantees that all withdrawal requests will be dealt with, within the hour.

For the benefit of beginner traders, Videforex has also provided them with an educational section that comes with streaming video lessons. These video lessons cover trading basics which are designed to give beginner traders a footing on how to trade binaries.

From our observation of Videforex during the course of our review of its services, we were quite impressed with what this young broker has to offer to its clients. Apart from a more personalized approach towards handling customer relations through their innovative live video feed system, Videforex has also taken the initiative to shorten the processing time of withdrawal requests to just under an hour. Considering the fact that the fastest time that most binary brokers can process a withdrawal request is within one business day, Videforex’s 60 minute withdrawal pledge seems light years ahead of the competition. As such, when we take everything into consideration, our conclusion is this broker is most definitely worth trying out.
