ATFX (Khwezi Trade) Review
For SA Traders
!! Regulator Warning !!
CFDs, which are leveraged products, incur a high level of risk and can result in the loss of all of your invested capital. As a result, CFDs may not be suitable for all individuals. You should not risk more than you are prepared to lose.
This broker used to be called KhweziTrade before they were acquired. Now I notice their customer support has not improved but their deposit bonus is fine and adds to your margin.
Live chat isnt available, every time I have an issue I have to send an email which is not treated promptly. Minimum deposit of $100 is too high and ATFX does not have instant withdrawals
