    We will review issues related to the information shown on BrokerCatalogue (fees, features, data, wording). For account, deposit, or withdrawal problems, please contact the broker directly. We cannot access your funds or fix platform-side issues.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    FBS uses different licensed entities based on your country. You sign up with the local entity shown at onboarding. It sets rules, leverage limits, and disclosures. Client money sits in segregated accounts at partner banks, separate from firm funds. Some entities offer negative balance protection. Terms can vary. Your trading account is not a bank deposit and has no deposit insurance. Before you fund, read the client agreement, order execution policy, and risk disclosure for your region.

    FBS offers several live account profiles and a demo account. You can choose spread-only or commission-plus-spread pricing, with variable spreads in most conditions. Swap-free options may be available in some regions. Each profile has its own margin policy, contract size, tick size, and fee schedule. You can add accounts from your personal area. Compare the account specifications on the broker's site and confirm the terms for your entity, as features and costs can differ by region.

    With FBS you can trade on industry-standard desktop, web, and mobile platforms, plus a proprietary mobile app. You get advanced charting, common order types, one-click trading, and custom indicators. Pending, stop, and market orders are supported. Platform choice, tools, and add-ons can vary by entity and account type. A stable internet connection is required. Test features in a demo account so you understand order placement, partial fills, and how stop and limit orders work in fast or illiquid markets.

    FBS supports deposits and withdrawals via cards, bank transfer, and popular digital wallets, with local options in some regions. Processing times depend on the method and checks such as identity verification. Third-party fees may apply. For compliance, withdrawals may need to return to the original funding source. You can set a base currency and may see conversion costs if you fund in another currency. Check the payment section in your personal area for methods available to you and any fees or cut-off times.

    You can trade contracts for difference on major asset classes, including currency pairs, indices, commodities, and shares, subject to your region. FBS commonly uses market execution. Your trade can fill at the requested price or a different price if the market moves. Slippage can be positive or negative. In fast or thin markets you may see wider spreads and reduced depth. Margin and stop-out rules apply. Some strategies may be restricted; review the terms. A demo account helps you learn how execution and rollover affect positions.
