Fusion Markets Review 2025

Trust

Fusion Markets Regulations

When we review brokers, we look at the licenses held by each of their entities to understand how well they protect clients. We use a simple three-tier system to rank regulatory bodies, with Tier 1 being the most trusted and offering the highest level of protection.

This is what I discovered about the three entities operating under the Fusion Markets trade name:

• Gleneagle Securities Pty Limited is licensed and regulated by the Vanuatu Financial Services Commission (VFSC) with company number 40256. We rate the VFSC as a Tier-3 regulator. The entity is also a member of The Financial Commission resolution scheme.
• Fusion Markets International Ltd is licensed and regulated by the Financial Services Authority (FSA) of Seychelles under license number SD096. We rate the FSA as a Tier-3 regulator.
• FMGP Trading Group Pty Ltd is licensed and regulated by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) under license number 385620. We rate ASIC as a Tier-1 regulator.

How Fusion Markets Protects You

Brokers operate multiple entities globally, but regulatory protections vary. Some regulators enforce stricter financial standards than others, so traders should understand the safety measures of the entity with which they choose to open an account.

Here is how Fusion Markets protects you:

• Client funds are held in segregated accounts.
• Is a member of The Financial Commission

However, Fusion Markets lacks some essential safety measures:

• It does not guarantee negative balance protection.

Stability and Transparency

In our Trust category, we assess how stable and transparent a broker is. This includes how long they’ve been in business, the size of the company, and how openly they share important information.

According to its LinkedIn page, Fusion Markets has been operational for eight years and employs over 100 professionals worldwide. I also found it quite transparent, especially regarding its legal documents. Fusion Markets does not omit any relevant information and is upfront about its safety mechanisms.

Is Fusion Markets Safe?

Although it doesn’t provide negative balance protection and does not participate in a compensation scheme, I concluded that Fusion Markets is sufficiently safe due to the following factors:

• Licensed and regulated by three regulators
• Keeps client funds segregated
• Has transparent legal documents

Fees

Fusion Markets Trading Fees

Fusion Markets Spreads

I tested Fusion Markets’ spreads on 27 June 2025 during the London and New York opens. The results are shown in the table below:

Broken down by asset class and compared to the industry average, Fusion Markets charges low spreads on currency pairs, commodities, share CFDs, and cryptocurrencies, and low-to-average spreads on indices. Its 0.016-pip crude oil spread is especially impressive, making the broker an excellent choice for commodity traders.

Fusion Markets Swaps

A swap fee is a trader’s cost for holding an open position overnight because of changing interest rates. Swap long refers to the charge deductible or credit receivable for holding a buy position open overnight. In turn, swap short relates to the charges/credits deductible or receivable for holding a selling position open overnight.

The values listed below are for one full base currency contract (100,000 units).

Live testing revealed that Fusion Markets’ swaps exceed the industry benchmark, making the broker not ideal for overnight trading. However, swaps tend to change over time.

Fusion Markets Non-Trading Fees

Fusion Markets does not charge any handling fees for deposits or withdrawals; however, third-party processing fees may still apply depending on your payment method.

I also learned that the broker does not have an inactivity fee.

Are Fusion Markets’ Fees Competitive?

I found Fusion Markets’ fees to be among the lowest in the industry. The broker has a very low BTCUSD spread and the lowest crude oil spread I have ever encountered. Additionally, Fusion Markets offers cost-free deposits and withdrawals. My only gripe with the broker is that its swaps are elevated.

Platforms and Tools

MetaTrader 5 Desktop

I tested the desktop version of MetaTrader 5. The charts, orders, and various instruments are located in easy-to-find places, and even first-time traders can quickly learn their way around. My only gripe with the platform is that its charts feel rugged and outdated compared to newer and sleeker trading stations.

Fusion Markets’ MT5 platform is available on Windows and Mac and supports 39 languages, including English, French, Spanish, German, Arabic, Chinese, and more.

MT5 features include:

• Alerts-Setting Option: Traders can set alerts for when the price of a given instrument falls/rises to a predetermined level, which could potentially signal a viable entry opportunity.
• Watchlist Customization: Traders can populate watchlists with their favorite instruments and track market changes more easily.
• One-click Trading: This feature enables instant market entries at the spot price and is invaluable for high-precision traders, such as scalpers.
• Trading from the Chart: Traders can place conventional trading orders directly from the chart, specifying the entry price, volume level, stop and take-profit levels, and more.

In my opinion, MT5 is best suited for automated trading via Expert Advisors (EAs). The platform also has an intuitive strategy tester, allowing experienced algo traders to tweak the parameters of their strategies so that they can be used under different market conditions.

Charts

I have broken down the available analytical tools and chart configurations below:

• 38 technical indicators: Including trend-based and volume-based indicators, and oscillators to analyze price action and assess market sentiment, helping predict market movements.
• 24 drawing tools: Tools like Fibonacci retracement levels and Elliott waves help identify price patterns, support/resistance levels, and breakout points. However, MT5’s design can make price action harder to interpret.
• 21 timeframes: For multi-timeframe analysis, enabling detailed price action analysis. MetaTrader 5 has one of the largest such offerings in the industry.
• 3 chart types: Price action can be displayed as line, bars, or candlesticks, offering diverse perspectives on trading opportunities.

As shown above, MetaTrader’s charts can quickly become cluttered, even with just two indicators. This can obscure price action examination and make it harder to perform detailed technical analysis.

Orders

MetaTrader 5 features three types of order execution: market, pending, and one-click trading, which supports immediate entries at the spot price.

I have broken down the available order types on the MetaTrader 5 platform below:

• Market Orders: Used for immediate entry at the best available price. They guarantee volume filling, though the entry price may differ from the requested price.
• Limit Orders: Guarantee exact price entries, but won’t be filled if the price doesn’t reach the trigger level.
• Stop Orders: They are used to support open positions by limiting the maximum loss that can be incurred if the market turns in the opposite direction. A stop-loss order is placed at a fixed price below or above the spot price. If the market does indeed turn and triggers the stop-loss, it will transform into a market order and get filled at the best possible price.

MT5 Desktop: My Key Takeaways

MetaTrader 5 is a decent option for fast and simple order execution. However, its dated and rugged design is inferior to newer and sleeker platforms. As a trader who prioritizes flexible charts that are easily scalable, I find MT5’s charting capabilities too rigid and less effective.

MT5 App

The MT5 mobile app is available on iOS and Android, enabling quick and easy access to the market on the go. It is very useful for opening, terminating, and adjusting open positions.

You can also use the app to place market, limit, and stop orders, as well as to adjust the exposure of your open trades.

MT5 App: My Key Takeaways

The MetaTrader app stands out for its convenience, making it an essential tool for adjusting trades, especially during periods of heightened volatility. However, I consider it cumbersome and not the best choice for analyzing price action.

Fusion Markets Model

Fusion Markets operates as an ECN broker. Client orders are matched electronically, which is how Fusion Markets achieves such favorable fees.

VPS Hosting

Fusion Markets provides Virtual Private Server (VPS) hosting for low-latency trading. The service is free to broker clients who trade at least 20 lots per month.

Tradable Instruments

Compared to the industry average, Fusion Markets provides an average number of share CFDs, indices, and cryptocurrencies, and a high number of currency pairs and commodities.

What Are CFDs?

CFDs (Contracts for Difference) let you trade on the price movements of assets—like gold—without actually owning them.

For example, if you go long on gold and the price rises, you profit; if it falls, you lose—without ever buying real gold.

The biggest perk? You can jump in or out of the market quickly to take advantage of even the smallest price changes.

What CFDs Can You Trade With Fusion Markets?

Fusion Markets Instruments: My Key Takeaways

My impression of Fusion Markets’ instrument offering is that it’s broad in scope but lacks true diversity. While the broker provides a solid range of high-risk/high-reward assets, such as stocks and cryptocurrencies, it falls short on lower-risk options. The addition of ETFs and bonds would offer traders more balance and allow for better risk management and portfolio diversification.

Customer Support

Customer Support Channels

Customer Support Test

When we test a broker’s customer support, we evaluate the agent’s knowledge of their own website, how long it takes them to respond to questions, and how detailed their answers are.

I performed my test on 26 June at around 17:00 CET via live chat. Before getting connected, I had to provide my name and email address. An agent then connected within a minute.

They responded easily to my more general questions regarding Fusion Markets’ location, but struggled for a while when I inquired about Fusion Markets’ stock commissions. Still, I rate the level of customer support as high.

Account Types and Terms

How to Open an Account with Fusion Markets?

To open an account with Fusion Markets, follow these simple steps:

1. Click ‘Create Account’ at the top-right corner of the main page.
2. Fill in your email address.
3. Choose and confirm your password.
4. Agree to the Fusion Markets’ T&Cs.
5. Upload proof of ID and proof of address to verify your account.
6. Choose an account type and trading platform.
7. Select an account base currency and preferred leverage.
8. Provide your personal details.
9. Confirm your email address.

What Account Types Does Fusion Markets Offer?

Fusion Markets’ Classic account features floating spreads and no commissions, beating the industry average across the board. Even more competitive fees are available with the ZERO account, which offers raw spreads and a $4.5 round-turn commission per traded lot (100,000 units), beating the industry average of $6.

In addition, Fusion Markets does not require a minimum deposit, making its trading accounts very affordable.

My only gripe with Fusion Markets’ Classic account is that it does not support TradingView and cTrader. The two platforms are only available with the broker’s ZERO account.

Demo Accounts

Fusion Markets offers a demo account that lets traders explore the broker’s available platforms and test their strategies in a risk-free environment. Since markets are always changing, it’s important to keep your skills sharp without risking real money. You can open a demo account before or alongside your live CFD account.

Swap-Free (Islamic) Accounts

Fusion Markets provides Islamic accounts for swap-free trading under Shariah Law. Please contact the broker for additional information.

What is CFD Leverage?

Leverage determines a trader’s overall market exposure. When trading Contracts for Difference (CFDs), positions can be opened for a fraction of their value because of leverage. Essentially, the broker lends the trader money so that they can open bigger positions. Leverage multiplies the profits a trader generates from winning positions, but also the losses incurred from failed trades.

What Leverage Does Fusion Markets Offer?

In the table below, I have listed the maximum retail leverage available with Fusion Markets for instruments from different asset classes:

Fusion Markets Restricted Countries

Fusion Markets does not accept as clients residents of Afghanistan, Congo, Iran, Iraq, Japan, Myanmar, New Zealand, North Korea, Ontario, Palestine, Russia, Spain, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, Ukraine, Yemen, the United States and its territories, or any other jurisdiction where trading with leveraged products is prohibited by law.

Research

Research Tools

I have broken down the available research materials with Fusion Markets below:

• Economic Calendar: The economic calendar is the most rudimentary type of research tool. It informs the user of upcoming market releases, such as inflation and unemployment reports, speeches, and others, that could potentially create viable trading opportunities.
• Weekly Reviews: Fusion Markets publishes video recaps of the trading week’s most important events on its YouTube channel. The materials are short and concise, and inform traders of the most important market developments to watch out for.
• Market Buzz: Market Buzz, part of the Trading Central package, scans social media for mentions of different trading instruments—helping traders spot potential spikes or drops in volatility.
• Featured Ideas: Also included in the Trading Central package and accessible from the broker’s client area, Featured Ideas combine technical and fundamental analysis to highlight developing setups and explain how traders can act on them.

Fusion Markets Research: My Key Takeaways

By incorporating the Trading Central package, Fusion Markets provides high-quality 360-degree market research. The content is equally suited for day traders and swing traders, and offers a nuanced overview of the market. Fusion Markets also excels with video reviews that are developed in-house.

Education

I counted 100+ walkthrough videos on the broker’s YouTube channel introducing traders to the several available platforms. Broadly, these explain how to use MT4, MT5, cTrader, and TradingView.

Besides those, Fusion Markets offers almost no alternative educational content. My verdict is that the broker’s content lacks breadth and scope as a whole.

The Bottom Line

Fusion Markets is a Vanuatu-based broker offering over 250 CFD instruments at ultra-low costs. Its standout feature is the exceptionally tight WTI spread, which outperforms most competitors.

The broker supports a strong lineup of platforms, including MT4, MT5, cTrader, TradingView, and DupliTrade, and also offers free VPS hosting for low-latency trading.

The only drawbacks I found were its limited educational content and relatively high swap fees.

If you’re a commodity trader chasing the lowest energy spreads or a day trader hunting for your next opportunity, Fusion Markets could be just what you’re looking for.
