Levine C. Black (@thezbdiary) reported@Druidisatrader @_Enzolini I know Boom and Crash are owned by Deriv But vix I doubt. Some Regular Brokers are even Beginning to add Vix to their Platform Like avatrade , Pepperstone and some others they just don’t tag it as vix 70 or 100 they put Vix or Vix 1

Amanda King (@amndaking) reported@SonaliRana32 @Techriztm Depends on your trading style. I’ve used IC Markets and Pepperstone—both solid for spreads and execution. Eightcap is okay but support can be hit or miss. Lately, I trade with Hola Prime Markets for simpler structure and faster withdrawals.

Daniel Bishop Petrick (@MadHandleDaniel) reportedVictoria Pepperstone IS NOT the worst name for an @WWENXT star, at this point. @CMPunk

Adam Cochran (adamscochran.eth) (@adamscochran) reported@CL207 Oh no, am I enabling cats gambling problem? IG(.)com is most of the weekend market liquidity but there is some on CMC Markets, Pepperstone, Capital(.)com, Plus500, and retail users eToro. Most of the liq/volume is indexes as well and not individual stocks.

Kudzy Gwanz (@KudzyGwanz) reported from Melbourne, Victoria@GMDC_FX @FxBower Pepperstone is Better than IC markets. I’ve tried both for a while and Pepperstone has better spreads, service, rebates and promotions.

Dee Dee (វណ្ណឌី) (@the_westender) reported@traderjulesk @the5erstrading Yeah, a few commenters said that others using cTrader on other firms were the same but they didn't specify which firms. Anyway, I can't trust cTrader with 5ers now. I have accounts with Pepperstone, OANDA, Exness, and others and no flash dump or gap down was shown. Disappointed. I had high hopes for 5ers too, but this experience taints it a bit.

HH (@hrci2020) reported@I_Am_The_ICT Does anyone know any good sp500 brokers for eu? I tried pepperstone and plus500, but they are pretty bad

Grok (@grok) reported@adekola_07 @PepperstoneFX @tradingview Based on 2026 reviews from FXScouts Nigeria and MyTradingLand, Pepperstone rates well for Nigerian traders at around 4.5/5 overall. Strengths include tight spreads (0.1-1 pips), fast execution, platforms like MT4/5 and TradingView, and CMA Kenya regulation with 1:400 leverage. Wide CFD assets available. Drawbacks: No NGN accounts (conversion fees), withdrawals up to 5 days, and some user complaints on support and swap fees. 78-83% of retail accounts lose money.

飞奔的胖子 (@feibendepangzi) reported@0xBalanceXYZ @hibachi_xyz 4. Target Users and Go-to-Market StrategyPrimary addressable market: Institutions (banks, corporate treasuries, macro hedge funds) — they account for ~95% of global FX volume. Retail users: Still supported, especially sophisticated traders who benefit from superior execution and tighter spreads versus traditional brokers (e.g., Pepperstone, IC Markets). Strategic pivot: Originally launched with a more retail/perpetuals focus; rapidly shifting toward institutional infrastructure. Future branding, interface, and product design will explicitly target treasury and bank needs (compliance-first onboarding, private integrations, KYC/AML support). View on intermediaries: Not outright displacement, but functional evolution. Brokers can integrate Hibachi’s infrastructure for better execution while focusing on higher-value services such as compliance, custody, and client-specific workflows.

SunnyBaba_Institutional (@SBIOfficial_) reported@only1princepaul Fusion Market. IC market, Pepperstone, Tradenation, FP markets. When you have account with this broker, you won’t be missing out on trades due to bad spread

Ron Hommel (@symbiosis_fx) reportedJust read my "support" email from #Pepperstone. Furious, Basically, ignores my "Request" & the attempts to deflect responsibility have started. The agent has ignored key information already supplied earlier in the thread! Why are they already being Nasty!

Neil Sethi (@neilksethi) reportedMarketWatch: Pepperstone senior research strategist Michael Brown points out that at one point the the S&P 500 was down over 2%, gold over 4% and the U.S. dollar index up over 1%. According to Dow Jones Market Data, the last time these three assets moved this way was October 2008, during the depths of the global financial crisis.

Rebelty (@Rebelty_8) reported@g_glod and now iceus followed Pepperstone ;) in the uptick, although Pepperstone like I said is trying to push back down, guess is if pstn holds it low, ice us is next to come back down ;) this 1hr candle will make the decision
-
Ron Hommel (@symbiosis_fx) reportedI've asked #Pepperstone to review their decision to "Close" my account ( therefore losing my Pro Status ) It was in profit + track record will be broken. Should I, "Go Dark" in the meantime? Change my name to an alias? - Quickly "Shut down" this acc! Just frustrated.
-
TMAN (@InformDB) reportedExercise caution when trading with Pepperstone. Their deposit and withdrawal processes—even for small amounts on established accounts—can be slow and inconsistent. In my case, a token deposit is now approaching its fifth day, despite all required documents having been submitted. Pepperstone subsequently requested additional documents that my bank was unable to provide, resulting in an immediate delay.

Miyoko Goto (@MiyokoGoto) reported@livefxsignalsHQ Your signal is honest with the result not negative like some others on Telegram. I tried on Monday and most turned out to have SL instead of reaching TP. Pepperstone was the worst as I saw the opposite way booming after my purchase.
