At FXEmpire, we have a 250-point rating system for brokers that we have tested. Our large database allows us to find the best options for traders, depending on their circumstances. For Spanish traders, they will be looking for more than just spreads or platforms. Yes, those are important, but there are other things that they will like, such as Spanish support, websites, and analysis.
In this article, I am only including brokers that accept clients from Spain, giving priority to those licensed by the CNMV in Spain, and making sure these brokers are also regulated by top-tier European regulatory bodies. I also looked for those places that support the Euro as a base currency, avoiding unnecessary conversion costs.
Spanish language platforms were also a bonus, but not always easily found. The brokers should also offer a large list of assets for trade, such as forex, commodities, stocks, indices, crypto, and more, if possible.
Our team of experts has identified each broker’s strengths and weaknesses using FXEmpire’s comprehensive methodology.
Now let’s dive into the selected brokers.
MultiBank is based in Dubai and has been in operation since 2005. The ability to trade over 14,200 instruments means traders can trade the entire world. This includes forex, metals, shares, indices, commodities, and cryptocurrencies.
Key Features:
The MultiBank App is the platform I tested, and I found the TradingView-supplied charting was very familiar. The app is very fast and is very efficient. The markets are easy to look around, and allow the traders to find opportunities.
There is also a free Virtual Private Server for clients to take advantage of, for low-latency trading, and even a FIX API for Direct Market Access (DMA) trading. This allows traders to find raw spreads directly from the exchange order books.
The spreads are good, ranging from low to average, although the crypto markets are a bit of an outlier, with high spreads. The in-house market analysis and news area is top-notch, and even includes trading signals for those looking for them. The educational content is also a strong point.
FxPro has been in operation since 1999 and offers over 2,100 assets for trading. Based out of London and heavily regulated, FxPro offers forex, commodities, share CFDs, indices, cryptocurrencies, futures contracts, and ETFs. With over 400 markets being based in the European Union, this will be a strong choice for local traders.
Key Features:
I used the Standard FxPro account for my testing, which has no commissions with tight spreads starting at 1.2 pips. The account doesn’t have a minimum deposit, and I found that overall, the spreads in this account were within the industry standards for most instruments.
FxPro has a robust proprietary trading platform, with excellent charting and technical analysis tools, and offers several order types, as well as one-click orders. The platform is super fast, as the average execution speed was 12 milliseconds. For those looking to automate trading, a free Virtual Private Server is offered to clients as well.
There is a strong market research area, as well as analysis. The broker also has multiple types of educational material, with technical analysis, fundamental analysis, and psychology all covered.
Swissquote is out of Switzerland and has been in business since 1996. It has the ability to offer millions of investments – via structured products – depending on the amount deposited, as well as the local regulations. This bank is listed on the SIX Swiss Exchange and stands out from the crowd with its versatile trading platform.
Key Features:
I used the CFXD platform for my test, which is very streamlined and also has many supporting tools and high-definition charts. There are over 80 technical indicators and 15 timeframes available for traders to analyze markets.
There is the ability to place market, limit, stop, one-click, and chart-based orders, as well as trading alerts and watchlist customization. The advanced filters allow you to find what you are looking for quickly, and the broker has also integrated Autochartist analysis.
Swissquote has execution speeds as low as 9 milliseconds and provides FIX API solutions for traders to get Direct Market Access (DMA) trading, the ability to access an exchange order book directly for raw spreads. The Standard account has no commissions and floating spreads that start at 1.7 pips.
