STMARKET

ST Market offers a competitive spread starting from 0.2 pips for the ECN account, which is great for active traders like myself who want to minimize costs. From my perspective, the lower the spread, the better, especially when executing high-frequency trades. The Standard and Premium accounts offer higher spreads starting from 1.6 pips and 1.2 pips respectively, which are not as attractive for active traders, but still acceptable for casual traders. I would personally choose the ECN account for tight spreads, but I understand that the higher spreads might be suitable for those with a smaller budget or who are not trading as frequently.

The main advantage of ST Market, in my opinion, is that it’s a regulated platform in Cambodia. This gives me some peace of mind regarding its operations. I also like the wide variety of instruments, including forex, indices, metals, and cryptocurrencies, which offer flexibility in my trading strategy. The ECN account type, with its low spread starting from 0.2 pips, is also a big plus if I’m looking for tight spreads. On the downside, ST Market’s lack of regulation by major international bodies like CySEC or the FCA is a concern for me. I’d also want more information about withdrawal times and fees, which are not very specific. Overall, the platform is legit, but I’d recommend it mainly for those who are comfortable with its regulatory environment and ready to do their due diligence.

ST Market processes withdrawals within 48 hours, which is quite fast in my opinion. After that, the funds generally take 2-3 business days to reach my bank account, depending on the payment method and the processing time of my bank. I’ve found that some brokers take much longer to process withdrawals, so I appreciate that ST Market offers relatively quick withdrawal processing. However, I always make sure to double-check the withdrawal method, as bank transfers can sometimes take longer than other methods like e-wallets. Personally, I prefer using Neteller or Skrill because the processing time is shorter, and I feel more secure using these payment methods.

ST Market supports several payment methods for both deposits and withdrawals, including bank transfers, Visa, MasterCard, Skrill, Neteller, and UnionPay. From my perspective, having multiple payment options is a big plus, as it gives me the flexibility to choose the method that best suits my needs. Personally, I prefer using Skrill or Neteller for their faster processing times and low fees. I also appreciate that UnionPay is supported, which is a useful option for traders in certain regions, particularly in Asia. However, I would recommend checking for any hidden fees that may apply, especially when using bank transfers, as they tend to have higher charges compared to digital payment methods.
