What do you think about foreign brokers offering large bonuses — opportunity or marketing trap?

[Bambang Sugiarto]

What do you think about foreign brokers offering large bonuses to attract new traders? Do these kinds of promotions really provide additional opportunities for profit, or are they just marketing traps that harm traders in the long run?

Are you being too hasty in saying that? And is it a trap? Because I see many official brokers doing this. They do everything they can to attract as many clients as possible in various ways, including what I mentioned above.

 

Regarding scams, can we also consider the regulations and licenses?

I think bonuses can be good however they come up with some terms and conditions so better reading those terms and understand them before availing these bonus credits otherwise it become little difficult to reach the required thresholds outlined in the bonus terms.

those bonus thresholds can be sneaky. I’m reading the terms first now; if profits are withdrawable but the bonus itself isn’t, I’ll treat it as demo-plus and not a reason to choose the broker

Yes, I agree with you. At the very least, we benefit from being able to conduct test trading at that broker with the company's real money, so we can find out about the quality of the broker, the speed of transactions, and learn about management for ourselves.

Oh, I'm sorry to hear that. Does that amount include the real money deposit you made?

 

I'd like to hear more from you.
