FIBO Advantages
- Suitable for Beginners and Experienced Traders
Judging from the regulations, the FIBO broker seems unconvincing because it only has a permit from the British Virgin Islands FSC. However, the trading facilities are very diverse, ranging from MT4 Cent accounts that do not require large capital to cTrader accounts that ECN traders can rely on. The range of trading instruments is quite wide, including popular currencies, indices, metal commodities, and crypto. - Opportunity to Partner as IB
FIBO provides an opportunity for both traders and non-traders to earn extra income through the Introducing Brokers (IB) program in three easy steps, namely: fill out the IB application, agree to the partnership terms with FIBO, then start introducing clients using Partner ID. IB Broker FIBO will get two types of commissions. The first is the commission which is calculated in terms of pips, and the second is the commission which is calculated in the form of a percent of each spread of each trader's trades that the IB introduces to FIBO. - Extra Income from the PAMM Program
FIBO provides a very attractive PAMM program. Experienced traders can apply to become Managers to manage the funds of other traders acting as Investors. Thus, Investors can take part in the forex market without trading themselves, while Managers can earn extra income from managing other people's funds.
