Thank you Chris for your message.
I think once you will add this stop loss you will have good platform.
But your spread is not the best say at least.
For example while on the FTSE you have 2 point spread which is like the rest on crude oil your spread is 12 points! and you can get as low as 4 points somewhere else.

But as I said I like the platform and I am sure I will use it again.

Hi, I’m Chris, let me preface by saying that I work for Spreadex. We really value our clients’ feedback, and are always working to improve our site.

At the moment, we do not have the ability to place a stop loss when you set an order, but our development team is working to add this feature in a future platform update.

Glad to hear you enjoy the credit facility. If there is anything else you can think of that you would like to see us offer, or just general suggestions for improvement, please let us know. We want to make trading as easy for you as possible. Thanks for trying out our service!

I think this is an unfair post. I opened an account with them and traded heavily for about 2 month

Too bad that you hide your name.
I think this is very childish to blame the platform for your losses instead of try and improve your trading skills.

I still don’t understand why it will change if you switch platform???

Fairtrade is extremely bad news, and will have caused problems for lots of people. Their interface is extremely attractive, and appears (on the surface) to be genuine, until you start to lose your money, and find that all is not what it seems.

Anyone with a bit of sense can make wins on the demo platform, and will find their balance increasing nicely. This is a clever tactic which makes you confident enough to add credit to your account.

As soon as you get into the live account, you’ll start to learn about the win / lose ratio, and the margins each side. Starting with a couple of losses can make you think that your luck will change, and that you will give it the benefit of the doubt.

You will experience a 5:1 loss ratio (consistently losing around £10, winning £2), and this will not improve. Dont sign up to this company. If you already have, get out now. The odds are against you.

This outfit is marketing aggressively, and will have a sales person calling you as soon as you setup your demo account.

Take my advice – try a different platform, and be very careful. And remember that the word ‘Trading’ in this context really means gambling.
