Ghana FX review

Forex trading is a relatively new idea for those who live in Ghana. It has quickly become an alternative investment for many, which has subsequently led to an increase in Forex brokers looking to set up a base of operations in the country. It was originally an investment for banks and large financial institutions, but more and more individuals are coming on board. One important thing to bear in mind if you are looking to invest in foreign currency trading is to find the right kind of broker. You won’t be able to participate without one. And you need to pick the best one you can, or risk losing all your capital. Reading reviews is a great way to get a feel for different brokers and we’ll be as honest as possible when we write ours. Regulation of financial service providers is still very much in the early stages for a number of countries, and many experts would consider Ghana to be one of them. The regulatory body in the country is the Securities and Exchange Commission of Ghana.
The broker we’re reviewing here is called Ghana FX and states that it is regulated by the SEC. However, at the time of writing this review, we were unable to check this information as the website was undergoing construction. We would advise anyone considering Ghana FX as their broker to contact the SEC direct, either by telephone or email. So what can Ghana FX offer to individuals who want to trade foreign currency pairs?

With Ghana FX you trade using the MetaTrader 4 trading platform

There are many different trading platforms available for traders to use when making trades and managing their trading accounts. However, there is one that has become an industry favorite. Metatrader 4 is the trading platform of choice for traders and brokers alike and is the platform used by Ghana FX. If you’re new to Forex trading you may not know what it is about MT4 that has made it so successful. So let’s give you a few details. It allows traders to trade a wide range of instruments including Forex, futures and commodities. All the necessary tools and resources are included in the software package to enable traders to analyze price dynamics, make transactions and trades, use automated trading packages and create their own. It’s an all in one package that is so user-friendly, even a complete novice will soon get to grips with how it all works and be trading like a pro.
Trading on the go isn’t a problem either, as Ghana FX has a mobile solution that will keep you connected to the Forex market wherever you might be. Download the MetaTrader 4 mobile app from your usual app store and select Ghana FX as your broker and you’ll be ready to trade before you know it. Using the MT4 mobile app you’ll be able to place trades quickly. Open positions will be plotted on live charts. You’ll be able to keep track of your trading account and access reports. There are 30 technical indicators alongside live interactive charting. And you’ll also be able to create a watchlist and set rate alerts with an audible alarm.

Customer education and support with Ghana FX

There is a link on the Ghana FX website that should take you to a section where you can watch and participate in some interactive videos. However, at the time of writing this review, we were unable to access the page to see what was on offer. The website itself is well laid out and informative, but we are unable to comment of the educational material that is available. Not a huge negative as there are plenty of other places to visit online for Forex training. But we do like to see something in the way of training, as it shows a level of commitment to the broker’s clients.
If you need to get in touch with customer support it is possible to do so by telephone or email. There is also an instant chat service, but we struggled to get through, which means it definitely wasn’t instant.
