Market Instruments
With OPTECK, traders can have a choice of CFDs and forex trading. Other available financial instruments are not disclosed.
Minimum Deposit
In terms of minimum initial deposit, it takes $250 to get started, although they do have a free demo account to check out their trading platform.
Leverage
Since Opteck is a binary broker, it seems that it does not provide any trading leverage information on its website.
Additional Fees
Clients of Opteck are charged with some additional fees:
Monthly maintenance fee of $7.50 (a monthly account charge encompassing all services and features available for traders);
Profit clearance fee applies to successful trades or those sold for profit with binary trading;
The profit clearance fee is determined by the total profit of the successful binary trade: $250 or less = $1.50, $251 – $500 = $2.00 ,$501 – $1,000 = $3.00, $1,001 – $2,500 = $4.00.
Trading Platform Available
When it comes to trading platform available, OPTECK uses TraderSoft, a holdover from their binary options days. The platform is far too simple for trading CFDs and forex, with minimal information and an inadequate user interface.
Deposit & Withdrawal
Traders with Opteck can fund their accounts and make withdrawals with most payment methods, wire transfers, credit cards, and a few online payment processors. Note that the minimum withdrawal amount is $50 ($100 for wire transfers) and withdrawals take between 3-5 business days.
