Why Trade With IC Markets?

IC Markets provides excellent prices, quick execution, and smooth deposits. The utilization of sophisticated charting platforms such as TradingView and the Raw Trader Plus account makes it a preferred choice for intermediate to advanced traders.
Christian Harris
Review Author

Pros

  • IC Markets provides some of the smallest spreads in the industry, offering 0.0-pip spreads on major currency pairs. This makes trading particularly cost-efficient for traders.
  • You can trade more than 2,250 CFDs in various markets, such as forex, commodities, indices, stocks, bonds, and cryptocurrencies. This range enables varied trading strategies.
  • IC Markets won DayTrading.com's 'Best MT4/MT5 Broker' in 2025 for its top-notch MetaTrader integration, perfected over years to enhance the platform experience.

Cons

  • Some withdrawal methods require fees such as a $20 wire charge. This can reduce profits, particularly for traders who withdraw frequently.
  • Despite having four top-tier third-party platforms, there is no in-house software or trading app specifically designed for new traders.
  • IC Markets have a selection of metals and cryptos for trading through CFDs, but their range is not as wide as brokers such as eToro. This may limit options for traders who are interested in these asset types.

Why Trade With XM?

With a $5 minimum deposit, advanced charting on MT4 and MT5, a growing range of markets, and a Zero account with spreads from 0.0, XM offers what traders need. They have even won our 'Best MT4/MT5 Broker' award recently.
Christian Harris
Review Author

Pros

  • XM offers over 1,000 instruments, giving traders various short-term opportunities, including turbo stocks, fractional shares, and thematic indices.
  • XM’s Zero account is ideal for trading with spreads from 0.0 pips, 99.35% of orders executed in <1 second, without requotes or rejections.
  • XM excels in trader education by providing well-organized resources like webinars, tutorials, and live trading sessions via XM Live.

Cons

  • XM only uses the MetaTrader platforms for desktop trading, offering no in-house downloadable or web-based solutions with unique features for beginners.
  • The XM app is user-friendly and offers unique copy trading products, but its technical analysis tools need enhancement for advanced traders.
  • The XM global entity is generally reliable and well-regulated but is registered with the less robust IFSC regulator. It no longer accepts UK clients, limiting its market reach.

Why Trade With RoboForex?

RoboForex offers a broad selection of over 12,000 trading markets along with ECN accounts, impressive charting, and loyalty incentives. It is also advantageous for stock traders due to its intuitive R StocksTrader platform, which provides access to over 3,000 shares, lower fees starting at $0.01, and advanced watchlists.
Christian Harris
Review Author

Pros

  • The broker provides up to 1:2000 leverage for some accounts, a peak level in the industry. This high leverage lets traders increase their potential gains, but also increases risk.
  • The R Stocks Trader platform competes with top platforms like MT4, offering netting and hedging abilities, thorough backtesting, Level II pricing, and a versatile workspace.
  • The broker provides two free withdrawals each month in the Free Funds Withdrawal program, assisting traders in reducing transaction expenses.

Cons

  • RoboForex provides fair spreads, but some of its account types have high trading commissions up to $20 per lot, which are more expensive compared to more affordable brokers like IC Markets.
  • RoboForex, despite having many platforms, does not yet support the commonly used cTrader. This can dissuade traders who favor this platform for trading, which is accessible with firms such as Fusion Markets.
  • RoboForex offers many account types which, although flexible, can be daunting for new traders to select the most appropriate for their trading preferences. Other platforms like eToro simplify the process with a single retail account option.
Go to RoboForex
RoboForex Ltd and its affiliates do not target EU/EEA/UK clients. Please be aware that you are able to receive investment services from a third-country firm at your own exclusive initiative only, taking all the risks involved.

Why Trade With AvaTrade?

AvaTrade provides traders with essential tools: an intuitive WebTrader, strong AvaProtect risk management, a quick 5-minute sign-up, and reliable support for fast-paced markets.
Christian Harris
Review Author

Pros

  • The WebTrader performed well in our tests, featuring an easy-to-use interface for beginners and strong charting tools, including 6 chart layouts and over 60 technical indicators.
  • AvaTrade's support team did well in tests, responding within 3 minutes and providing local support in major regions like the UK, Europe, and the Middle East.
  • Years later, AvaTrade is still among the few brokers with a custom risk management tool, AvaProtect, which insures losses up to $1M for a fee and is simple to use on the platform.

Cons

  • While the deposit process is smooth, AvaTrade doesn't support crypto payments, unlike TopFX, which caters to crypto-focused traders.
  • Signing up is easy, but AvaTrade doesn't offer an ECN account like Pepperstone or IC Markets, which provides raw spreads and fast execution that many traders want.
  • AvaTrade’s WebTrader has improved, but it needs more customization as widgets like market watch and watchlists can't be hidden, moved, or resized.

Why Trade With Exness?

Exness is an excellent choice for active forex traders aiming to reduce costs after lowering spreads, enhancing execution speeds, and offering trading on over 100 currency pairs with more than 40 account currencies.
Christian Harris
Review Author

Pros

  • Exness Terminal provides an easy experience for beginners with interactive charts, and creating watchlists is simple.
  • Competitive spreads for USOIL and BTCUSD in 2024 start from 0 pips, with low commissions from $2 per side.
  • Wide variety of account types for all experience levels, including Cent, Pro, and the new Raw Spread, ideal for traders.

Cons

  • Retail trading services are not available in some areas, such as the US and UK, which limits access compared to leading brokers like Interactive Brokers.
  • MetaTrader 4 and 5 are supported, but TradingView and cTrader are not available yet, despite increasing demand from traders and their integration with other platforms like Pepperstone.
  • Besides a mediocre blog, educational resources are lacking, especially compared to category leaders like IG, which offer a more comprehensive trading journey for new traders.
