Fusion Markets Review 2026

Fusion Markets Licensing

How Does Fusion Markets Protect You?

To confirm Fusion Markets’ client protections, I reviewed the broker’s client agreement by clicking ‘Terms and Conditions’ at the bottom of its website.

Here is what I found about the broker:

To learn more about the most important safety mechanisms and how they apply to you, check our dedicated guide on client protections.

Stability and Transparency

I researched Fusion Markets’ company background from its LinkedIn page. From there, I learned that the broker was founded in 2019 and is headquartered in Melbourne, Australia. As of 19 June 2026, Fusion Markets has 132 LinkedIn members, more than most other brokers, indicating the broker’s growing company size.

I accessed the rest of Fusion Markets’ legal documents from the ‘Legal’ section of the website, under ‘About Us’. The section is clearly visible and easy to access. All relevant information is present and easy to understand. Even first-time traders can quickly find their way around it.

On the other hand, I found Fusion Markets’ risk notice to be incomplete. It warns visitors to the website that ‘the investor risks incurring losses exceeding the potential for profits and incurring unlimited losses’, but it does not state the percentage of traders who lose money with this provider.

Is Fusion Markets Safe?

I found Fusion Markets sufficiently safe to trade with due to the following factors:

• Licensed and regulated by the VFSC, FSA, and ASIC.
• Keeps client funds in segregated accounts.
• Ensures negative balance protection.
• Clients are protected by up to EUR 20,000 in cases of conflict of interest.

Fusion Markets Spreads

I tested Fusion Markets’ spreads on Classic and Zero accounts on 17 June during the London and New York market openings. I used live accounts on the MetaTrader 5 platform. Here are my results:

Classic Account: My tests showed that Fusion Markets consistently beats the industry benchmark across the most popular assets. I was impressed by 19-cent gold spreads during the London session and the $17 spread on BTCUSD on both sessions.

However, not everything went smoothly in my testing. I captured the massive spreads on AAPL and TSLA at $7.49 both. These absolutely dwarfed the industry average of 32-49 cents. However, there is a caveat. I captured these spreads immediately following the New York market opening – a characteristically volatile time when bid-ask spreads tend to widen due to sudden drops in liquidity.

Just a couple of seconds later, the AAPL and TSLA spreads returned to normal and traded around the industry-average benchmarks of 32 and 49 cents, respectively. What all of that means is that if you plan to trade stocks with Fusion Markets, you’d better avoid doing it immediately before or after major trading sessions.

Zero Account: I confirmed that you can find even lower raw pricing on the Zero Account. I captured spreads of 0.0 pips on EURUSD, around 0.8 pips on GBPJPY, and around 12 cents on gold. These values benefit high-volume traders.

The spreads I captured on instruments from other asset classes mirrored my findings on the Classic account. The highlight of my testing was the $0.02 spread on crude oil, which is why I deem Fusion Markets a great fit for energy traders. I also took down a $17 BTCUSD spread, which solidified Fusion Markets’ status as a crypto-friendly broker.

Fusion Markets Commissions

In addition to spreads, Fusion Markets charges round-trip commissions on the Zero account. A round-turn (also round-trip) commission is a fee you pay to open and close a full-sized contract (100,000 units).

Fusion Markets’ Zero account only features commissions on FX pairs and metals. I observed a $4.5 round-trip commission, which beats the industry average of $6. Hence, I found Fusion Markets a suitable choice for high-volume traders.

Fusion Markets Swaps

I tested Fusion Markets’ swaps on a Classic account on 17 June 2026. I used a live account with the MetaTrader 5 platform.

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

Fusion Markets’ swaps are a bit of a mixed bag, ranging from ultra-low to very high. While the $5.93 DJI30 swap long considerably beat the benchmark of $86.06, I recorded the $85.9 swap long on WTI oil vs the $2.22 industry average. So I consider Fusion Markets a good choice for overnight position trading on indices. But holding positions in energy commodities could be expensive.

My testing also showed that FX, metals, stocks, and crypto swaps fluctuate around the respective industry averages. Overall, Fusion Markets has improved its swaps since my previous review of the broker last year.

Please note that swaps fluctuate over time, subject to changing interest rates.

Are Fusion Markets’ Fees Competitive?

To help you understand how much you’ll pay to trade each instrument, I calculated the cost of trade using the formula: spread rate x pip value + commission rate (swaps are not included).

Classic Account: Fusion Markets performed great in my fees testing. Its costs on all popular instruments were lower than our benchmark. I was most impressed by the $17 cost on the BTCUSD and $25.5 on crude oil.

Although stocks didn’t perform well. I calculated that trading Apple and Tesla will cost you $749 per 100 shares vs the industry averages of $31.78 and $48.73. I think such spikes were caused by momentary drops in liquidity.

Zero Account also demonstrated competitive fees in my test. According to my findings, Fusion Markets offers more favorable pricing on currency pairs and metals via its Zero account. I calculated a $4.5 EURUSD cost, which came in below the industry average of $6.99 and also beat the Classic account’s $9 trade cost. I also captured a $16 cost of trade on gold, which came in marginally better than the industry average of $17.

Stocks weren’t cheaper on the Zero account either. For example, I recorded a $54 cost of trade on Tesla vs the $43.24 industry benchmark.

Platforms and tools

Fusion Markets cTrader Desktop

For this Fusion Markets review, I chose cTrader because it offers the most features and accommodates the widest range of trading styles.

Availability & Features

Chart Parameters

cTrader’s chart visuals are high-definition and support advanced technical analysis. They are also powered by numerous supporting tools. For example, I used the volume tool on the 2H GBPJPY chart above to track changes in volatility. I also used trend lines to flag a rising wedge pattern before the subsequent bearish correction.

cTrader has good scalability, and I found it very easy to play around with price action, scaling it up and down and looking for good trading setups. The only thing I felt was lacking at cTrader was a full-screen mode.

cTrader’s analytical tools include:

Order Types

The cTrader platform by Fusion Markets supports the following order types:

cTrader Mobile App

I tested the cTrader app by Fusion Markets on my personal Google Pixel phone running Android.

I used the app to place market, limit, and stop orders, and to manage my overall exposure. Everything worked smoothly for me. You can access a news screener and an economic calendar via the app. Plus, cTrader’s copy trading environment is also available via mobile.

Social and Copy Trading

I learned that Fusion Markets offers copy trading via the Fusion+ service on MT4 and MT5 platforms. It also supports social trading via the DupliTrade platform and TradingView – the industry’s biggest hub for traders to connect and share ideas and know-how.

Copy trading with Fusion Markets is generally free. However, there is a caveat. The signal provider and signal follower need to achieve 2.5 lots of traded volume per month. Otherwise, the signal provider will be charged a $10 flat fee. I also learned that Fusion Markets allows signal providers to set the performance fee they charge their followers, up to 30%.

VPS Hosting

If you are a high-volume trader looking for fast and precise filling, then you can subscribe to Fusion Markets’ Virtual Private Server (VPS) hosting. The service is available on all platforms supported by Fusion Markets, including MT4, MT5, cTrader, and TradingView.

Fusion Markets can sponsor your VPS if you achieve 20 lots in monthly traded volume.

Fusion Markets Markets Execution

Execution Model

I learned that Fusion Markets operates as an Electronic Communication Network (ECN) broker. Buying and selling orders are matched electronically using communication networks.

Execution Speed

I used the MetaTrader 5 platform to measure Fusion Markets’ order execution speed. I did that by placing several orders on the EURUSD, GBPJPY, Gold, Crude Oil, the Dow Jones 30, Germany 40, and Bitcoin. These orders were executed in quick succession on 17 June, just after the London market opening.

Please note that I used a demo account for my hands-on tests because I did not deposit real capital to my live account. Here are my findings:

I pitted Fusion Markets’ execution speeds against those of other brokers and found that it performed better than most. Generally, its speeds fluctuated in the 145ms to 245ms range vs the 243ms industry average. The only outlier was the 2999ms delay on EURUSD, which caused slippage.

Customer support

Customer Support Channels

Customer Support Test

I contacted Fusion Markets on 19 June and asked about the broker’s minimum deposit requirement. The agent responded instantly and was very polite.

I then inquired about Fusion Markets’ copy trading and VPS offerings. The agent provided fast answers on copy trading, supported by links. However, they did not seem to know that the broker offers sponsored hosting to active traders who achieve 20 lots per month. At least this is the information that I found on Fusion Markets’ website.

I concluded that Fusion Markets’ customer support is fast and reliable, tracking with industry standards. However, I’d recommend speaking with an account manager if you have more specific questions.

Deposit and withdrawal

Please note that I did not deposit any real funds with Fusion Markets for the purposes of this review.

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 an Account’ from the top-right corner.
2. Enter your email address.
3. Choose a password.
4. Confirm you are over 18 years old.
5. Upload proof of ID and proof of address to verify your account.
6. Provide the rest of your personal details.
7. Configure the parameters of your account.

Fusion Markets Account Types

Fusion Markets’ Classic and Zero accounts differ in two ways. One is their pricing mechanisms, and the other is the platforms they support. The Classic account is calibrated for commission-free trading and floating spreads from 0.9 pips, while the Zero account features raw spreads from 0.0 pips and a $4.5 round-turn commission per traded lot (100,000 units).

I consider the Zero account the far better option. It has no minimum deposit requirement and lower fees. It also supports the cTrader and TradingView platforms, which are far more robust than MT4 and MT5.

What Leverage Does Fusion Markets Offer?

The maximum retail leverage with Fusion Markets is 1:500. It means that if you open a trade with a $100 margin and use the full 1:500 leverage, you would be able to open a position worth $50,000.

A word of caution: Trading on margin with high leverage is extremely risky and may result in significant losses.

Fusion Markets Restricted Countries

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

Research

Economic Calendar

I used Fusion Markets’ economic calendar to screen the week’s most important market events. The calendar displays expert forecasts and previous release results, as well as a supporting chart. The setup is pretty standard for the industry.

Blog

Fusion Markets’ economic calendar is one of the positive developments since my previous review. I found dozens of articles about major market trends. I especially enjoyed the “Stuff that makes you think” segment and found it very valuable. I read a couple of articles from it, one flagging the peculiarities of holiday trading in June and another explaining why FX markets react before the news hits. The material was tight and easy to assimilate.

Trading Central

The Trading Central signals inform you of viable trading opportunities as they appear. Each signal contains an entry price, a target level, and a stop-loss level. I checked one such signal for a short trade on the EURUSD pair. It was published on Fusion Markets’ cTrader platform on 19 June at 13:00 UTC+1.

The signal identified a key resistance level at 1.1490 and suggested a likely continuation of the downtrend towards 1.1400. I went over the parameters of the signal and found it logical. I identified a bearish 1-5 Elliott wave pattern that aligned with the TC projections.

Video Content

If you are into video format, Fusion Markets provides market briefs on its YouTube channel. The ‘Week Ahead’ and ‘Market Insights’ segments keep track of the latest market developments and flag upcoming events that can create viable trading opportunities. I watched one such analysis of the week’s most important events, and found it very useful.

Education

Fusion Markets has published a dozen articles on its Blog. They mostly focus on technical analysis and offer critical insights into price action. I also appreciated that the text is supported by visuals to help better illustrate the topic. I reviewed one such article on moving averages, which did a very good job of explaining what it means when price action touches the 50-day and 100-day MAs.

The recently introduced ‘Fusion Academy’ is a direct response to my earlier criticisms of the broker, and more specifically, that it lacked structured content. Currently, the Academy consists of four modules, with more coming. The first two are aimed at first-time traders seeking to learn the ropes of trading, while the other two delve into more complex topics related to technical and fundamental analysis (how to read price action, how to understand macroeconomic trends, etc.).

Currently, the Academy consists of 43 separate lessons with a total runtime of 300 minutes, which goes well above what most other brokers in Fusion Markets’ tier offer. I found the content engaging and very practical, particularly for traders who want to learn methodically without skipping a beat.

To access Fusion Academy, you need to have a live account with the broker and log in to the client area.

I also counted over 140 platform tutorials on the Fusion Markets’ YouTube channel. These cover the full range of functionalities of the MT4, MT5, cTrader, and TradingView platforms from start to finish.

The bottom line

Fusion Markets ranks among the top-performing brokers in our catalog. The Australian forex and CFD broker, which was founded in 2017, offers 240+ tradable instruments at generally low fees.

Using the robust cTrader and MT5 platforms, I recorded tight spreads on all popular assets, except for Apple and Tesla shares. I captured a 0.9-pip EURUSD spread, a $17 BTCUSD spread, and a $0.02-WTI spread.

I also learned that Fusion Markets provides free VPS hosting for low-latency trading to active traders and supports social and copy trading via DupliTrade. Moreover, the broker provides actionable trading signals from Trading Central. Both MT4 and MT5 are available, plus Fusion Markets offers TradingView, with its fresh look and the best charts in the industry.

Fusion Markets also deserves credit for its ongoing commitment to improving its services. Case in point, when I flagged the lack of structured educational content, the broker added the Fusion Academy – a structured course with over 40 lessons on trading basics.

I did not identify any major drawbacks with Fusion Markets, though the broker could improve its offering by adding live webinars.

What I Did not Test

Please note that for this review of Fusion Markets, I did not:

1. Use live accounts to test Fusion Markets’ order execution speeds;
2. Upload proof of ID and proof of address to fully verify my Fusion Markets live accounts;
3. Deposit or withdraw real capital into or from Fusion Markets. My score for the Deposits and Withdrawals category is based on my assessment of the broker’s payment options and listed fees.
