Pacific Financial has given me a painful trading experience so far. As their spread could be high, which is so harmful for scalping trade the platform did not respond too. Till now I didn't get any profit for their re-quotes or slippage. So my order failed by the EA and My business lost $650 within six months.
My trading activity with them is going smoothly. Pacific Financial is a reliable broker. Sometimes I used their mobile apps and it doesn't lag too. Although I have followed their expert's daily technical analytical review, which helps me to make a decision. My payment is always excellent via Skrill account so far. I have withdrawn $360 profits from them. I'm also not always profitable in trading. Because there are ups and downs in trading. However, I still trade with Pacific financial. It is mostly due to technical issues but it is always completed in the end. Also, the company really provides updates to assure its clients.
I'm working with Pacific Financial for five months and I have faced several troubles with them. The spreads are very outrageous, the platform is slow and complicated to use. I could handle these but what I couldn't handle is the fact that this broker deliberately frozen the platform causing me not to close my winning trades.
The trading platform of Pacific Financial is commendable. I have been with them for more than a year already and they never fail to provide great services. The platform is always stable. It can even handle high volatility and the spread is always tight.
I've only been with this broker for 4 weeks. And they are very welcome and respond to my email quickly, no time delay. My initial deposit was $500, and now in my account it has reached $755. I quite understand the trading rules at this broker. My friend recommended to me. And so far I'm comfortable too. I hope I don't find any problems.
I am using my American Express account to fund my trading account at Pacific Financial, and to keep the transactions smooth, this is what I also use to withdraw profits. The completion time of every transaction is within 24 hours and that quite fast compared with other brokers. There are also no hidden charges. I love this broker because of their honesty and the amazing trading environment that they provide.
I have awful trading experience with Pacific Financial's service. I have $300 plus investment in a PFDPro account, While I can't withdrawal my profit through Skrill. Till now my five withdrawal request has been failed. I have found that they are blacklisted in New Zealand authorities. So I am disappointed with Pacific Financial broker.
