The broker is part of the Elana holding, one of the major Bulgarian institutions in the non-banking financial sector. Elana is regulated by the Bulgarian Financial Supervision Commission (the FSC) and operates within the European Union. The broker is also a member of the Investor Compensation Fund in Bulgaria. If the Company goes bankrupt, the Fund is to compensate up to 90% of the amount on a trader’s account, but not more than 40,000 Bulgarian levs (about 20,000 Euro.) Trading terms Elana Trading has 2 types of live trading accounts – MetaTrader and GlobalTrader. The first one provides access to more than 70 currency pairs, precious metals as well as index and natural resource based CFDs.

Elana Trading is a trustworthy broker. It provides an excellent trading platform, the spread is comparatively lower than the other brokers as well. Their trading environment is suitable for all levels of traders, especially for beginners as it is simplified and there is no confusing information. Everything on their website is well laid out as well. Their withdrawal process is also running fast.
I’ve been with Elana Trading for few months. They never provide the spread they declare in their web site. One more difficulty is their system won't warn about the insufficient margin. Whatever, you want to buy, it will buy and then straight away the system will liquidate you.
I chose this broker because it has rules that match my criteria. I always have a budget for trading. And it is very important to manage finances when trading or investing. Their support very polite and understand about the product. The excellent company, is not present claims, service at high level, communication without failures. Within 1 year, I have managed to get a pretty good one. And usually with scalping and get a profit of> 50% for 1 trade.
Elana Trading has been my partner ever since I started trading. This is my first broker and I am very happy that I found the best broker for me on the first try. This company makes the effort to really provide the best services to their clients. Their platform is easy to use and it stable, the fees are lower than its competitors, and the customer support team is dependable.
