BDSwiss trading platforms

At BDSwiss it is possible either to use the WebTrader platform or the MT4. The broker supports speculating on over 250 trading assets. As you can see from the screenshots below, The WebTrader looks very clean and modern. The navigation on the platform is fairly easy. I am, however, missing information about the overnight fee when I open a specific asset. When I also open any stock, there is no mention about the commission fee of 0.15 that is charged when opening and closing positions. The WebTrader platform features its technical analysis charts by TradingView. This charting software provides a perfect environment for technical analysis as one can simply change time frames, add indicators, draw all types of lines etc.

BDswiss - Fees (Spreads & commisions)

BDSwiss spreads differ depending on the underlying asset. We have tested the spreads on the web trader platform for some of the most popular assets. On the most popular currency pair - EUR/USD is the spread 17 pips, on EUR/GBP 20 pips and on Bitcoin 179 pips. This data was taken on the 01.04.2019. Having this information, we have to say that the spreads are definitely not a feature in which the BDSwiss broker excels.

 

 

BDswiss also charges 0.15% commission when opening and closing stock CFD position. On other financial instruments, the commission fee does not apply.

Financing your account at BDSwiss – Deposits and withdrawals

BDswiss features a wide variety of deposit and withdrawal methods. To finance a trading account one can use popular transfer methods like credit and debit cards, wire transfer, Neteller or Skrill. Furthermore, BDSwiss also support payments in Bitcoin, Bitcoin cash, and Ethereum. This is actually the very first CFD/FX broker we reviewed that offers the option to finance a trading account with digital coins.

 

 

The broker also supports other deposit methods in certain countries e.g. Dotpay in Poland, iDeal in Netherlands or GiroPay in Germany. The deposits are immediately processed, and the withdrawals are within 24 hours from the made request. The minimum starting deposit is set at $200. BDSwiss clients can have a trading account in the following currencies: EUR (€), USD ($), GBP (£), PLN (zł), DKK (kr), SEK (kr), NOK (kr) and CHF (Fr.).

BDSwiss cryptocurrency trading

BDswiss clients can speculate on the price movement of popular cryptocurrencies. As of now, BDSwiss supports these 12 digital coins on its platform: BTC, ETH, LTC, Dash, EOS, IOTA, NEO, OMG, TRX, XMR, XRP, Zec which can all be traded against the USD. Bitcoin, as well as Ethereum, are also tradable on the BDswiss platform against Euro, Pound and Japanese yen. LTC is also tradable against JPY and EUR. So as you can see the number of available cryptocurrencies is really superior. When we review the spreads that are charged for cryptocurrency trading, they are a little bit less attractive.

Wealth management program

BDSwiss clients who want an expert to trade with their funds can participate in the Wealth management program. Each professional trader who takes part in this program can be tracked and you can see his performance metrics (Monthly/daily gain, manager's capital, trading style etc.). Based on this information you can decide in whose hands you are going to give your resources. Professional traders who want to manage the capital of other investors can apply for a fund manager position.

 

A final word on BDSwiss

BDSwiss is a popular FX/CFD broker with a good reputation. The MT4 Platform on which the broker functions has always provided a safe and modern trading environment. A huge advantage of a big broker as BDswiss is that they fully support 20 languages, so almost every trader can communicate with the company in their native language. As the biggest drawback we see are the spreads, which are in comparison to FP Markets, XM.com or other giant CFD brokers quite huge, especially on cryptocurrencies.
