This platform is easy to use and once you have learned how you will find it rather difficult to make short trades as every time one enters the market, one has to start with a negative value before making a profit. I'm not sure how many pips that is. Works well with longer term trades.
I have traded with MeritForex for over a year and its services has improved better than my first few months, no slippage and MT4 platform is more stable (no more frequent crash). There are many payment options and I switched from Skrill to wire because of some recent limitation local bank applied on Skrill withdrawals. Of course they have 24/5 phone support but I recommend Live chat, it's fast and no cost, it normally takes 3-5 minutes to get into the conversation. I highly recommend this broker.
