Why Trade With FXCC?

FXCC consistently shows its strength as a choice for forex traders. It offers over 70 types of currency pairs, low spreads starting from 0.0 pips that we've seen in tests, and high leverage of up to 1:500 with the ECN XL account.

Pros

  • There are no limitations on short-term trading strategies such as trading and scalping.
  • FXCC offers competitive ECN spreads starting at 0.0 pips with no commissions, making it one of the most affordable forex trading platforms.
  • FXCC has added MT5, which in our tests, matched MT4’s trading conditions with quick execution, improved charting, and depth of market tools.

Cons

  • The MetaTrader suite is great for technical analysis, but its outdated design affects the trading experience, especially when compared to modern options like TradingView.
  • High withdrawal fees might surprise traders; there's a substantial $45 fee for bank wire transfers.
  • A limited range of research tools such as Trading Central and Autochartist are available, similar to those offered by industry leaders like IG.

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.

Review Author

Pros

  • IC Markets, a well-regulated and respected broker, emphasizes client security and transparency for a trustworthy global trading experience.
  • 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.
  • The range and quality of educational materials, such as tutorials and webinars, require improvement. This lag falls behind competitors like CMC Markets and reduces its suitability for novice traders.
  • Despite having four top-tier third-party platforms, there is no in-house software or trading app specifically designed for new traders.

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.

Review Author

Pros

  • XM's customer support has proven reliable, offering 24/5 service in 25 languages, response times under 2 minutes, and a growing Telegram channel.
  • XM excels in trader education by providing well-organized resources like webinars, tutorials, and live trading sessions via XM Live.
  • 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.

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 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.
  • XM is lagging because it doesn’t offer cTrader and TradingView, which are now preferred over MetaTrader for their better user interface and charting tools.

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

  • Execution speeds now average under 25ms, providing ideal conditions for short-term traders.
  • Wide variety of account types for all experience levels, including Cent, Pro, and the new Raw Spread, ideal for traders.
  • Exness Terminal provides an easy experience for beginners with interactive charts, and creating watchlists is simple.

Cons

  • Retail trading services are not available in some areas, including the US, UK, and EU, making them less accessible compared to leading brokers like Interactive Brokers.
  • Exness has increased its variety of CFDs and introduced a copy trading feature, but it still lacks real assets like ETFs, cryptocurrencies, or bonds.
  • 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.

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

  • RoboForex offers more than 12,000 instruments for trading. This includes forex, stocks, indices, ETFs, commodities, and futures. Comparatively, this surpasses the trading opportunities available from most online brokers.
  • 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.
  • RoboForex offers tight spreads starting at 0 pips and low minimum deposits from $10, making it affordable. Trading with micro lots additionally reduces entry barriers for new traders.

Cons

  • RoboForex, with more than 15 years in the industry, is authorized by the IFSC in Belize, a 'Red-Tier' regulator. This authorization provides a lower level of regulatory protection for traders.
  • 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.
  • RoboForex now only allows USD and EUR as base currencies. This could lead to conversion fees and inconvenience for traders who prefer managing their accounts in other currencies.
