Honestly, I first opened a Basic account with Monexis three weeks ago after getting tired of platforms that nickel-and-dimed me on tiny fees. The $500 entry felt realistic for testing the waters, and the 1:50 leverage forces me to think before I click. What really hooked me was the two-day withdrawal hitting my local bank at 07:00 sharp, no pending hell. Live chat answered my midnight question on segregated accounts within five minutes, which reduced my rookie anxiety a lot. I’m still running modest lots, but if the rhythm holds I’ll nudge up balance before quarter-end.
