To sum up the ForexTime Review

FXTM (Forextime Limited) is licensed and regulated by the Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission (CySEC) under license number 185/12 and by the FSCA in South Africa. From my perspective, the main advantage of the broker is their international support. Another great feature of the company is its educational centre which is quite sophisticated and one can watch trading tutorials or webinars. The biggest drawbacks are fees that the company charges and that they do not offer CFDs on a single cryptocurrency.
