Investous is a brand owned and operated by IOS Investments Ltd., a Belize Investment firm, which is regulated by the International Financial Services Commission of Belize. This broker has a lot to offer its clients. It doesn’t charge commissions or deposit fees, and it offers MetaTrader 4 and WebTrader to its clients.

Investous also has a lot of educational tools for its users, including Trading Central, which has pretty much everything you’d ever need to have an all-round trading experience. Investous has four account types: Basic, Gold, Platinum, and VIP, each of which offers progressively better incentives.

 

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Demo Account Offered
  • Competitive Spreads
  • No Commissions or Deposit Fees

Cons

  • No MT5
  • Many Country Restrictions

Recommended For

To open a basic account, you will need to make a $250 deposit. You can register the account for free, but trading requires that deposit.

Education-wise, it appears that Investous is the suitable choice for traders that want to be educated on how to trade. There are a lot of basic glossaries and guides on the website, which indicates that it is acceptable even for novices. Experienced traders will appreciate the MetaTrader 4 platform, though those holding out for MT5 are out of luck.

Pricing

One of the features that Investous prides itself on is its lack of fees. Though there is an inactivity fee for accounts that have been dormant for one month, there are no commissions fees and no deposit fees. Regarding investor features, Trading Central (as mentioned above) is a hotbed of information for traders of all skill levels. Briefly, here is what Trading Central offers:

  • Analyst Views provides top-down research using automated algorithms and expertise from senior analysts.
  • Daily Market Analysis keeps traders up to date on what’s happening throughout the markets. This feature is also backed by analyst research.
  • Economic Insight uses trading tools to monitor and act on events that could move the markets.

  • TC Research Platform provides methodologies and pattern recognition that detail the latest research on the markets.
  • WebTV films straight from the NYSE floor, giving you trade ideas and industry news.

Reliability & Security

One of the biggest indicators of reliability is the platform that a broker chooses to use. If they use a glitchy platform, then trades won’t be executed and it will be a nightmare. Luckily, that scenario is not the case with Investous, as Investous uses MetaTrader4 and WebTrader.

MetaTrader 4 (MT4, for short) is an industry standard. Though it doesn’t have all the bells and whistles of its successor, MetaTrader 5, it is still offering perks like 50+ technical indicators, chart types, and more. It lets you trade CFDs in the global markets, and it even offers automated trading tools and trend monitoring.

WebTrader is also a solid choice. Investous WebTrader lets traders trade without having to download any software. You use your web browser to perform functions like opening and closing positions, following Bid-Ask spreads, tracking positions, and placing Take Profit and Stop Loss orders.  

User Experience

The amount of education tools and downloadable platform provided indicates that Investous cares about its users’ experience. In addition, Investous also offers glossaries, technical and fundamental analysis, assets calculators, and Trading Central tools. This broker is very resource-heavy.

Final Thoughts

Overall, Investous is a good choice for investors who want to minimize their fees. They charge no commissions, no deposit fees, and they offer MetaTrader 4, a downloadable platform that has become an industry standard. Though there are some cons, including the many country restrictions that bar users from other nations, Investous is still an ideal broker.
