I have decided to share my personal experience of trading through my Global Pairs review for all other traders like me. My trading journey started in 2020 when the coronavirus pandemic hit the globe and halted all the business, economic and other activities. Lockdowns literally locked us into our homes. Most people even lost their jobs, and unfortunately, I was also one of them. I was looking into ways to earn money online by working from home. So one of my colleagues proposed that I should trade forex and cryptocurrencies.
It was hard for me to get familiar with so many new terms. I had never heard about the trading terms like bullish, bearish, spread, ask, bid etc. However, I was a little desperate at that time, which encouraged me to learn new things as I needed to make money in the end. In this part, Global Pairs helped me a lot; trust me, they have an excellent training service.
I searched for platforms to access the financial market when I encountered Global Pairs. You would find it surprising, but nobody recommended me this trading platform. I chose it myself while searching for brokers on the internet. The first thing that clicked me was their impressive official website. I must say, they have an attractive, innovative theme for their website, which is highly attractive. When I searched for different brokers, most of them had very dull websites. I was about to lose interest in the whole trading thing, but then I found Global Pairs. The moment I opened their website, I knew somehow that I would adopt this platform.
However, I am delighted that I chose Global Pairs. The account opening procedure was effortless. All I had to do was provide my name, email address, and other personal details. After that, Global Pairs sent me an email with login credentials which helped me sign up on their website. The next step was to choose an account type and enter the login details.
The final step was to add funds to my account. However, after funding my account, I was able to get access to their one-on-one training sessions. It took me not more than three months to grasp trading, and then I had enough confidence to add more funds into my account to trade better. Since then, I have been using their platform and feel very secure having an account with them.
However, my reason behind writing this Global Pairs review is not to recommend using their platform right away. But to tell everything about them, whether good or bad. You should also conduct your own research and find the right broker for your needs. It worked out for me as I was very new to the market and had my first experience using any platform. On the other hand, experienced traders might have different demands and choices. So, please continue to read my Global Pairs review only for getting information about the platform.
I have rated their features according to my experience with them. They might be under-rated or over-rated for you. So, I would advise you to read carefully and choose your broker accordingly. Good Luck!
5-Stars
- Security and Safety
As a new trader, I was very concerned about the security and safety of my account and privacy. While searching about the trading industry, I found many cases where traders were scammed, or their accounts got hacked. However, all my concerns have not yet come true. All thanks to the state-of-art security systems used by Global Pairs. They have special SSL encryption, which gives protection against hackers. Furthermore, they also use 2-factor authentication while accessing the account, making it difficult to hack your account. I gave five stars to their security system because I have not encountered any security-related issue in my two years of experience with them.
- Customer Service
My Global Pairs review will put their customer service at the top of their features because their whole business revolves around it. They claim to be more than just a broker for you, and trust me, they really mean it. They treat every single trader with respect and care. Their customer support is available 24/7, which means even when forex markets are closed on weekends, you can have their customer support. They offer support through live chat, emails and phone calls. I found their customer support very responsive and caring.
- Educational Guide
The educational section on the website of Global Pairs offers different kinds of ways for learning. They not only provide a glossary for newbie traders like me but also provide video tutorials and articles for all types of traders. It was very useful for me to understand the whole concept of trading through their education centre. Furthermore, they also provide guidelines for using their platform efficiently in the section. Apart from articles and video tutorials, they also offer e-books that can be downloaded free of cost. Those books are highly informative. I cannot help but give five stars to the efforts they put in to make their educational guide such impressive and informative.
- Account Types
The last thing that appealed to me was their different types of accounts. They offer different types of accounts for different traders. All accounts come with additional features, including the minimum deposit limit, spread rates, leverage ratio, market brief, training sessions, trading tools, withdrawal limits, etc. The accounts available are Disruptor, Innovator, Rule Breaker, Pioneer, Trailblazer, and VIP. I chose their Innovator Account for $10,000. It offered very reasonable spread rates, and the best thing was a 1-on-1 training session with their analysts. Other accounts have numerous other features offered according to the customers’ needs. They have accounts for all traders, including newbies, experienced, advanced, day traders, professional traders, or institutions.
- 1-on-1 Training
It is something that most brokerage firms in the industry do not offer. Global Pairs have maintained their reputation based on this feature to some extent. They provide one-on-one training sessions to each of their clients. In this way, they achieve higher rates of successful trades by their newbie accounts. I not only extended my experience but also earned money through this service, which is why I am rating it five stars in my Global Pairs review.
4 Stars
- Transparent Fee Structure
The fee structure of Global Pairs is very transparent. They deal with different rates to different types of accounts. So, traders can select account types suitable to their needs. They do not charge any hidden commission or spread fee. Therefore, I always knew the cost of my trade after its execution. They do not have any hidden withdrawal fee as well. It is because Global Pairs have a policy of maintaining a trustworthy relationship with the customer, which can only be achieved through transparency. I personally liked the fact that they were honest in keeping the offered rates transparent.
- Trading Tools and Platform
I cannot skip mentioning their trading tools and platform in my Global Pairs review. Their platform is not only smooth but also very user friendly. I learned all about forex and crypto trading at that platform. Operating the platform was also very easy as everything was quick to access. Online trading became easy for me to learn only because of Global Pairs’ user-friendly platform. The platform keeps the market up-to-date and provides fast execution of trades.
Furthermore, the trading tools are also beneficial. You can find all kinds of technical tools and indicators for predicting a trade. However, Global Pairs restricted the use of some advanced technical indicators to specific account types. I used their Innovator account and had access to most technical indicators, including Fibonacci Retracement, MACD, RSI, etc.
- Financial Assets
One thing best about Global Pairs is that it offers a wide variety of financial assets. You name it from forex, cryptos, commodities, indices, and stocks, and you can trade it at Global Pairs. In my two years of experience, I never encountered a situation where I needed to invest in some financial asset and could not find it on their platform. It provides access to more than 250+ instruments. Furthermore, they also offer trading packages according to the need of traders. I started with the forex, cryptos and commodities.
- VIP
In my Global Pairs review, I must mention that they offer multiple VIP accounts as well. I am mentioning it separately from the types of accounts because it is a very exceptional feature of a Global Pairs being a broker firm. The platform believes that traders should not settle for less when they can have it all. Their VIP account types offer all kinds of elite services, including zero spreads, leverage up to 1:5, priority withdrawal process, 1-on-1 training on-demand, personal account manager, and access to top-of-the-line trading tools.
3 Stars
- Market Brief
Global Pairs offer market briefs differently to different types of accounts. This thing was somewhat disturbing for me. Being an Innovator account holder, I only had access to a weekly market brief, which was insufficient. It is because I prefer day-trading, and I needed market updates on a daily basis. I had to use other financial news platforms, which was very time-consuming. It would have been better if they provided a daily market brief to all types of accounts. So, I am giving three stars to their market brief service in my Global Pairs review.
- Mobile App
In this age of the internet and smartphones, we have become addicted to getting everything in our hands. We want quick and easy access to everything. One thing which I always felt missing during my two years of experience with Global Pairs, was not having a mobile app. I always wanted to have access to my trading account to execute trades. There were many times when I could have entered the market and earned profits, only if I could have accessed my account through an App. They should introduce a Mobile App for quick execution of trades.
- Demo Accounts
At first, I did not know about such a feature. But when I entered the trading world, I learned that many broker platforms offer demo accounts. Being a newbie trader, I experienced many failed trades during the initial days of my trading. I could have saved my money if Global Pairs offered me training at my demo account. The suggestion in my Global Pairs review to them is to add a feature of Demo Account.
- Technical Tools
As I managed to learn a lot through their platform, I was able to make the correct predictions about the trades. However, my account type was unable to access a variety of technical analysis tools. I had no other option but to conduct my technical analysis on another charting platform. It would be better to add and improve the technical tools box for all account types.
Conclusion
I have tried to keep my Global Pairs review as detailed as possible for you to understand their platform better. I was new to the market when I joined their platform. Sometimes I feel glad to be a part of their customer, and sometimes I think I should have chosen another platform. I got to learn about trading forex and cryptocurrencies through their platform.
Their customer service is very responsive and caring. Accounts offered by them are very secure and safe. The software and trading platform are also very user-friendly. However, they do not offer any mobile app, which can be a deal-breaker for some traders. They also provide the most advanced services to bigger accounts, which can be discouraging for some. However, besides not having a mobile app, I have found the platform quite helpful and exciting.
