Athens

Athens Markets claims to process both deposits and withdrawals within 24 hours, which is great from a convenience perspective. Personally, I’ve always appreciated brokers that offer fast processing times, as this gives me quicker access to my funds when needed.

Athens Markets offers their proprietary platform, TradeLocker, which is accessible on web, mobile, and smartwatch. Personally, I prefer platforms like MT4 or MT5, but if you’re open to using a proprietary platform, TradeLocker could work well. I’ve found it to be convenient across different devices.

Athens Markets offers Standard and Pro Standard accounts. In my opinion, the Standard account is great for beginners as it has zero commission, while the Pro Standard account provides low spreads and raw conditions for more experienced traders. Depending on your trading style, one might be a better fit.

Athens offers a wide variety of over 150 trading instruments, which I find appealing. They also provide a user-friendly platform accessible on web, mobile, and even smartwatches. If you're looking for flexibility in how you trade, this is a plus. However, the main drawback for me is their lack of regulation, which makes it less reliable.
