SunBirdFX

While some Forex traders prefer to trade with colossal brokerage firms, others prefer the accessibility of smaller trading companies. Although Sunbird has been operating on a small scale for five years, it has recently expanded to cater to Forex traders worldwide. If you’re looking for the personal touch of a smaller broker, Sunbird may be just what you need. We’ve tested the Sunbird’s trading platforms, customer service, features and more, and recorded our findings below so that you can make an informed decision. General Information Maximum leverage: 100:1 Minimum deposit: $100 on MT4 and $5000 on G-Pro Minimum deal size: 5,000/limited by margin Languages available: English (Arabic and Russian coming soon) Trading Platform Despite its relative youth, Sunbird offers multiple trading platforms that rival those of more established competitors such as Ava FX and FXCM. We were impressed by the breadth of offerings provided by Sunbird, though we wished there was a single page that could help the trader see all of his options at a glance. Still, each designated registration page explains the advantages of that specific trading platform with brief, understandable bullet points, so that with a bit of reading, users can choose the Forex trading that best meets their needs. Sunbird’s autotrading platforms are not currently available, but they should be launched in the coming months. Traders who can’t decide can enjoy demo accounts of most platforms so that they can see for themselves which platform they like best. Sunbird’s trading platforms include: Standard Platforms: MetaTrader 4 MetaTrader 5 MetaTrader 4 Initialization Screen (Click to enlarge) Another feature that made an impression on us was the strategic placement of information notices at the bottom of the platform, which offered helpful information to supplement the trading platform. Although we were too busy focusing on the platform to pay much attention to the articles, we thought that they could be an asset in the future, once a trader became more familiar with the platform.
