Genial. Contento en general con este broker

LLevo desde Mayo de 2019 con la compañía y he de decir que hasta la fecha no he tenido ningún problema, ni por retirar beneficios, ni con las operaciones. Hasta ahora bien, quizás un poco más de atencion por parte del gestor, pero se entiende que tenga que atender a más clientes. Lo que más confianza me dió fue que están regulados por Cysec y registrados en la CNMV. El chico que me llamó me enseñó además toda la documentación legal y necesaria para no dudar. Lo mejor de todo fueron las Operaciones protegidas. Estaría bien algunas más.
