In my experience reviewing WWF, I found that the broker does not actually offer retail-focused ECN or raw spread accounts, nor does it support multiple trading account types in the way that most forex brokers do. Instead, their model and fee structure are tailored to institutional and professional clients, with only a single account type available and no demo or Islamic account options. For me, a critical consideration is that WWF’s published commissions and fees are somewhat opaque compared to mainstream retail brokers. Rather than a straightforward per-lot commission as is common with ECN or raw spread accounts, WWF applies a set of minimum charges and percentage-based fees on various instruments and services. For example, trading fees on non-US stocks and bonds are set between 0.1% and 0.25% of volume with a notably high minimum (EUR 50), while even basic currency exchange or OTC derivatives incur fixed minimums (EUR 100). From a risk management perspective, this approach introduces higher costs for smaller trading volumes and creates less transparency for cost calculation—both red flags for me, especially as a former ECN account user who relies on predictable per-lot pricing. Compounding my caution, the extensive number of serious withdrawal complaints from former users, including allegations of unauthorized margin or fee demands, makes it difficult for me to recommend WWF for traditional forex trading activities, particularly for anyone accustomed to standard ECN brokerage models. For those seeking competitive, per-lot commissions on an ECN or raw spread account, WWF simply does not fit these expectations and may present considerable operational risk.
