Traders Way Review

Regulation

Being registered in Dominica, which is considered an offshore, Traders Way does not provide any information about its regulation. The company does not even publish information about its Dominica location in Traders Way login area and it was discovered using third-party sources.

We are kindly reminding that regulation adds a certain level of security for the funds of clients, especially in strict jurisdictions like the UK, Cyprus, or USA that is why staying with an offshore unregulated broker might be dangerous.

Trading platforms

Traders Way has a definitely solid set of trading terminals available. At first, the broker offers its clients the MetaTrader 4 and MetaTrader 5 terminals that have become an industry standard. MetaTrader 4 is well-known to forex traders for more than 10 years and plenty of expert advisors, indicators, and scripts have been developed for this trading terminal.

MetaTrader 5 is a platform that was built for 64-bit systems and is working fairly quicker and has a wider range of features, native support of cryptocurrencies, and more. The execution speed is one of the main benefits of MT5 and it is very suitable for ECN accounts of Traders Way with NDD execution.

For MetaTrader platforms, Traders Way also offers the so-called MT QuickDeal 2.0 plugin which allows getting access to Market Depth Level 2 pricing being a popular scalping trading strategy. The tool is easy to set up, has a nice design, and could certainly become a trading edge as far as the vast majority of brokers do not offer Level 2 data to its customers.

The broker as well offers MetaTrader WebTerminal for the users who are not willing to install terminals on PC, prefer to execute trades in browser versions of a trading terminal, or are using macOS.  The WebTerminals are similar in comparison to the entities of other brokers and differ only in terms of instruments.

MetaTrader 4 and MetaTrader 5 are offered for mobile iOS and Android operating systems also. As well as the WebTerminals, the difference if compared to MT4 and MT5 of other brokers, is only in the number of available symbols.

What is more important, Traders Way allows customers to use the cTrader terminal, being a very rare case among the brokers. cTrader is a trading platform with feature-rich functionality, user-friendly and modern design, built-in C# language support, and the ability to connect algorithmic trading systems using FIX API. The platform also has its own Mobile and WebTerminal versions so users have the same wide choice of options.

Traders Way Review. Key points

Overall, Traders Way could be considered a good broker. It offers a wide range of trading terminals, including MetaTrader 4, MetaTrader 5, cTrader, and several versions of mobile platforms and web terminals.

The broker has several account types with various options in terms of commissions and spreads so every trader can find a suitable account type.

The only negative part is the absence of the regulation through the broker exists so far for more than 10 years that could be considered as a positive factor when talking about the broker’s trustworthiness.
