I came to them from an IB who offers free VPS for my robots -- and this is the only reason to stay.
Positive:
Cent account
Negative:
Fee for money in/out. I didnt pay much attention and deposited using Skrill: 7.5% fee(!).
Not regulated
Interest on swap (long AND short); no way to get swap free account.
Strange things in order execution: my Grid traders always win (semi automatic, I look at fundamentals, too).
Green numbers every day. Same constellation -- different brokers. This night 1 of them produced RED at FBS.
I compared with the other (good) brokers: All the trades from the grid traders basket closed within 6s with nice profit.
Same robot / same parameters on FBS: FAT RED numbers. Why that??
The basket of trades was closed wihtin... not 6s -- on FBS the robot needed 32 MINUTES to close the trades... 😡
Overall
I just knew FBS from a friend and by look of it I think it was okay, until something really unacceptable happend.
I trade for NZDUSD and NZDJPY and place the order before the big news and when it happend suddendly my order price change by itselft and the price gap happended, I got margin call because my SL cancelled by itself.
I can't accept this since ONLY FBS Trade have price gap on NZDUSD and NZDJPY on that day but not other broker. I used FXpro and XM and place the same pending order I put on FBS. I hit my TP and my order was opened where I place it, and NO PRICE GAP.
WHY only FBS have price GAP on NZDUSD and NZDJPY? to be exact on 9/6/2016. 0000hours
Overall
nice broker.
I get twice bonus from them,5$ and 123$.support is good and fast.good place to trade

After 10 days and after I told them I will write in Forex forums they finally answer! and guess what they said : it just happen! and they said I am trading on news!!!! the date of my positions are clear they I toke them hours before any high Impact news! poor fbs, you can do better! this is not an excuse!
Imagine you set SL to make sure your position will closed at that specific point, and then it closed far away from your SL and when you ask why? your broker say : it just happen! you should close your position before any news because if you dont we will close it far away from your sl for you anyway and you can do nothing!!!
I don't blame anyone, It was my mistake to trust this SCAM broker! but they will pay because I am a web developer and I am working on a website to alert people stay away from this broker, and guess what, I want work hard on CEO, I know some algorithms, and soon enough every search in google display my website first :) it take some time, few weeks but finally they will understand that they SCAM from wrong person.
Overall
To every person who want thing about this broker! STAY AWAY! GO FAR FAR AWAY! beleive me, its the worse broker ever. let me tell about my story :
about 9 days ago, my 3 trades on GBPUSD closed above my sl, each trades closed about 15 pips above my SL! I contact to LIVE chat they ask me to send an email, and I did, and today after 9 days no answer! and guess what, today my other trade in USDJPY closed above my sl AGAIN!!! this time 9 pips above my sl. MY SL WAS 121.12 and my trade closed at 121.204! the funny part s USDJPY NEVER MET THAT PRICE, THE PAIR HIGH WAS 121.13 when my trade closed!!!! HOW THE HELL MY TRADE CAN CLOSE 121.20 when the pair high is 121.13!!
as usual they ask me to send email AGAIN! and when I said I already sent email days ago and you never answer to that email, the live chat support said the same answer : I will forward the information sir and we will reply to you, if you have any other complain you can send it to [email protected].
I provide all proof they need in emails, but no luck! SO, ARE YOU CARE ABOUT YOUR MONEY? THEN STAY AWAY FROM FBS.
Overall
Dear Novar , could you please give us your account number?
It is not true, that you can withdraw omly deposit. Mor then 700 000 our clients can withdraw all money. Maybe there was an error in your account? We can solve this situation quickly!
Overall
to explain the withdrew issue
if you deposit using any electronic payment system you can withdrew to the same method unless you make single deposit using your dept card,in this case your all withdrew should be processes to your dept card or to your bank account
i deposited and withdrew many times without problem and if we wrote ( any broker name review) at google you will find many claims against all brokers and many people talking about how this broker is amazing
i used FBS for several years without any problem
and to make some explanation i read very bad review about insta but i opened an account with them and so far so well till now so dont decide about any broker depends on what you read
Overall
Not Good
Withdrawall very difficiult and amount asked evry time reduced by financial department, so impossible to empty completly account
moreover only deposit can be withdrawed to bank account and profit only with elctronic payment system
It smell very much market maker/scamer
Overall
again and again i like to trade gold with them and no problem at all with withdrew
i funded my account using many methods with no problem
very safe but i did not tried the insurance program

Dear Yunni, it's so nice to here from you again.
First of all, FBS is a reliable and regulated broker by IFSC and CRFIN.
Let's start from the very beginning. We processed your claim and all the necessary corrections on the account were made, i.e. the required orders were annulled with their total loss restored on your balance, profitable orders were placed back with their total profit return.
Before the withdrawal was processed you started you own game: sent a claim to our regulator, posted everywhere negative posts in spite of the fact that we fulfilled all your requests and never wanted to hold your funds.
For that reason we had to frozen your funds (according to our Customer Agreement) until the CRFIN investigation of the whole issue would be processed.
As we always intented to cooperate and settle this peacefully, we offered you to sign the Settlement Agreement, after you signed it the withdrawal was processed right away.
So, now everything is settled, you received you money.
And may be it's no business of mine, but please don't trade on the money for your son's studies!
Overall
Hi everybody, I am back and sorry about disappearing for a while - however you would know why I had to after hearing my story, which is a sad one - thanks to fbs.
Basically the last thing everybody knew is FBS had illegally kept MY funds for over 2 weeks and forced me to sign an additional 'agreement' in order to get MY money back - why I use word 'forced'? Because that money should be at my dispense and not a single word in the Customer Agreement gave FBS the right to take it away from me, after they had to accept my initial claim about the mistaken orders and make the balance available to me. So let's face it: the reason for FBS to hold my money is not 'we were still under disputes about the wrong orders' as they claimed (because that initial dispute had already been resolved before it came to everybody's attention and I accepted it); the only real reason for FBS to do so was that I chose to use my legal rights as a customer to bring this issue to the public eyes - if you read the additional 'agreement' they forced me to sign, it says I had to remove all my posts on internet before I can get my money back! So if a customer chooses to complaint and write bad but true posts about a broker, he can not get his OWN money back? Please try and describe such broker's behavior if it's not 'bully' or 'rogue', and I'd love to see how FBS shall comment on and justify such behavior pattern of theirs
And btw, I'd like to remind everybody once again: FBS is NOT regulated - not by a single regulator in the whole world! I have raised this issue to the attention of CRFIN, the so-named 'regulator' claimed by FBS, and after I went through all the official procedure instructed by CRFIN's official website, they had come back to me 'Currently, while there is no legal regulation, the services for clients are provided generally on behalf of foreign companies, registered in regulated or off-shore jurisdictions.' - meaning 'go away, we cannot do anything about this off-shore company'. The most funny part is, when I called CRFIN, where few people can speak English, one guy even yelled at me 'go away, go to to the police' - very professional and reliable for a 'regulator' ha?
And finally, here is what happened to me: I did get the money back, however it was too late - I requested the money back on 12th Aug as I needed that money to pay my son's deposit for his study abroad from the begining of September; he had been planning that for a long time, however the money I should have got from FBS by middle August never arrived till the end of August, so I had to try borrowing money from banks and people, which failed probably because I'm retired and too old. So my son had to give up his study plan this year, and I had to work myself aroundlike a dog trying to fix the messes caused by FBS's 'responsbible behaviors'. And that's why I was too busy to come back.
So all in all, if you only care about wether I got my funds back, you can lable this case as 'resolved'; but if you ask me wether I still think FBS is a scam broker, I will say 'YES YES YES'!!!
And should anyone go trading with FBS without considering the facts I provided, I will personally come to your house and slap your face!
Overall
so far I have never had a bad incident during trading in the FBS. My trading is always smooth and withdrawals are always on time. I use IB in FBS, they always give you a rebate of trading according to the number of lots that I do.
Overall
I would like to inform all the FPA members that the client's withdrawal was confirmed yesterday and today we sent the bank confirmation to the client.
Overall
Dear Yunni, please note that we haven't received any emails from you to [email protected] since August 21. Yesterday we sent you an official reply with the Settlement Agreement and still there is no reply from you. You need to sign an Agreement and send it and your official confirmation to [email protected].
Overall
Dear Yunni!
As you know, we have satisfied your complaint and the required orders were corrected with their total loss restored on your balance.
To tell the truth, it is still not clear, why you decided to act before the Company provided you with an official reply.
However, it is not our intention to go on disputing on the matter.
Moreover, we have repeatedly offered you to settle this issue peacefully by signing a Settlement Agreement.*
Please be informed that our offer still stands. We are willing to finally resolve this incident.
Overall
I have been using FBS for 3 years and i'm fully satisfied with the service given. FBS always give me the best service in terms of deposit and withdrawal. If i'm facing any problem or issue with my deposit or withdrawal, my Master IB will help me as fast as he can in order to solve it besides the help of other FBS members
Overall

Meanwhile, FBS and I have signed the following Settement Agreement:

Overall
And 'me not accept the agreement' causes 'why the funds were frozen until we proceed with the dispute' is the LIE # 3, the real reason is: FBS, a bully, who sees its customers as enemies and exploitable resources, cannot tolerate the fact the supposed-to-be stupid/craven customers have the guts and ability to challenge their lies, and they cannot accept the fact they have to be FORCED to admit their scamming tricks.
I reported this to CRFIN because according to STANDARDS AND TERMS OF BUSINESS FOR CRFIN MEMBERS:
6.1. CRFIN Members and their employees are prohibited from:
6.1.1. acting with intention to inflict harm upon another person, and to abusing their rights in any form;
6.1.2. deceiving or misleading, or attempting to deceive or mislead their current or potential customers.
6.1.3. willfully providing a customer with a false report, or entering a false record on any real or non-existing forex transaction to company documents.
6.1.4. disseminating false or misleading information on any instrument price, or a knowingly inaccurate report, that affects (or is intended to affect) the price of any financial instrument and/or trading decisions made by customers;
6.1.5. willfully submitting false or misleading information to the CRFIN;
6.1.6. embezzling any funds obtained from a customer as a margin deposit, or any profit from transactions.
And FBS:
1) FBS suddently changes terms&conditions without notice to put traders under disadvantaged situation (check the several recent reviews from other customers of FBS, as published on FPA ) - which breached clause 6.1.1;
2) FBS deliberately lie and distort about the execution of new T&C so they can choose which explanation can be produced to cause you loss - unless you take the effort to keep every bit evidence of your account and chat history, you won't have a chance to not to loss - which breached clause 6.1.2;
3) FBS creats fake account execution history - means they manipulate your trading account - they FAKED order 18741040 on my account to prove 'I had not enough margin to open a hedging position to stop lossing money' (Note the price they faked on that order is 1.33050 of EURUSD, and EURUSD never hit that price THE WHOLE YEAR by then, check my previous screen shot link for evidence in this thread) - which breached clause 6.1.3.
4) FBS illegally keeps my funds $5850.04 and refuses to return it to me - which breached clause 6.1.6.
Overall
And I have to warn everyone two most important points:
1. Though now the argument is about the funds withdrawal, the real issue you should be concerned is the original issue should have happened including:
1) FBS suddently changes terms&conditions without notice to put traders under disadvantaged situation (check the several recent reviews from other customers of FBS, as published on FPA );
2) FBS deliberately lie and distort about the execution of new T&C so they can choose which explanation can be produced to cause you loss - unless you take the effort to keep every bit evidence of your account and chat history, you won't have a chance to not to loss;
3) FBS creats fake account execution history - means they manipulate your trading account - they FAKED order 18741040 on my account to prove 'I had not enough margin to open a hedging position to stop lossing money' (Note the price they faked on that order is 1.33050 of EURUSD, and EURUSD never hit that price THE WHOLE YEAR by then, check my previous screen shot link for evidence in this thread).
While FBS is trying to pull everyone's attention to the 'withdrawal dispute' should actually shouldn't exist at all, these facts are the ones people should focus and request explanation for from FBS.
Overall
Dear Yunni!
If the issue is now being public, let us explain our position, so that it would not be just one-side consideration.
We processed your claim and all the necessary corrections on the account were made, i.e. the required orders were annulled with their total loss restored on your balance, profitable orders were placed back with their total profit return. We sent you an official reply with the request to confirm that your claim is resolved. We also confirmed your withdrawal request as you requested.
At the same time you sent a claim to our regulator CRFIN without receiving our official reply to your request and when the problem was resolved, we were waiting for your reply, but did not receive any.
We have satisfied all your complaints to the full extent. However, we have not received an actual confirmation of the dispute resolution from your side. Therefore, the fact that you have filed a complaint to CRFIN automatically means that you refused our suggestion. In that case, we are determined to stand our ground and provide all the arguments that we believe will be substantial enough for the Regulator to decide in favor of the Company. At the present moment the remaining balance is returned to the trading account 360309 and frozen until the dispute resolution. For that reason we had to contact our bank to request to return the funds. So the withdrawal confirmation we had sent you before was real, but as you didn't want to solve the issue peacefully, we had to cancel the withdrawal and freeze the funds until the claim to our Regulator will be resolved.
I should add that on August 18 we offered you to sign a mutual Settlement Aggrement as a consent of the intentions. But you did not accept the agreement. That is why the funds were frozen until we proceed with the dispute.
