Apart from demo accounts, BDSwiss claims to offer 5 types of live trading accounts, namely Cent, Classic, Premium, VIP and Raw.

Leverage

The leverage provided by BDSwiss is adjusted based on the account type. For example, the maximum leverage on the Premium account is 1:1000, while 1:500 on the other account types.

It is important to keep in mind that the greater the leverage, the greater the risk of losing your deposited capital. The use of leverage can both work in your favour and against you.

They are especially popular for their automated trading bots, a.k.a. Expert Advisors.

Withdrawals are processed within 24 working hours, however, the time required for your funds to reach your account depends on your banks timeframe as well as the method used to withdraw.

Bonuses & Fees

According to the information on BDSwiss accounts, we found that it seems to offer a 30% FTD Bonus on the Classic and Premium accounts. In any case, you should be very cautious if you receive a bonus. Bonuses aren't client funds, they're company funds, and fulfilling the heavy requirements that are usually attached to them can prove a very daunting and difficult task. Note that brokers are prohibited from using bonuses and promotions by all leading regulators.

The broker also charged an inactivity fee. Inactive accounts are charged 10% of the account balance each month, with the minimum amount charged being €25 or trading account currency equivalent, and the maximum amount charged being €49.9 until the amount balance is €0.
