FXCC Review 2026

FXCC Licensing

How Does FXCC Protect You?

I confirmed the client protections entitled to FXCC clients from the broker’s client agreement from the ‘About’ section of the website. I clicked ‘Download Documents’ under ‘Trader Support’.

Here is what I found about the broker:

I found out that Central Clearing Ltd is the broker’s principal entity that onboards clients, and it’s authorized offshore by MISA. I reviewed its legal documents and confirmed that this entity of FXCC does not hold client funds in segregated accounts, which concerned me about its safety. This is what is stated in the client agreement:

“The third party to whom we pass money may hold it in an omnibus account and it may not be possible to separate it from our money, or the third party’s money.“ This means that in the event of insolvency, your funds may not be reimbursed.

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 went through FXCC’s website and social media channels and learned that the broker was established in the Comoros in 2010. According to its LinkedIn profile, the company has 11-50 professionals, which broadly aligns with the industry average.

I’ve also paid attention to FXCC’s risk warning at the bottom of the banner. The broker cautions that trading CFDs entails a considerable risk; however, it does not state the percentage of its clients who lose money with the provider. This is a pretty standard policy among brokers supervised by Tier-1 regulators, such as FXCC’s own CySEC-regulated entity.

The thing I appreciated the most was a live spreads screener, which helps traders assess FXCC’s fee competitiveness even without opening an account. I cross-checked those spread rates against my own findings and confirmed they match, demonstrating FXCC’s high fee transparency.

Is FXCC Safe?

I found FXCC’s global entity sufficiently safe to trade with due to the following factors:

• Regulated by MISA and CySEC.
• Guarantees negative balance protection.
• Maintains high fee transparency.

FXCC Spreads

I tested FXCC’s spreads on a live ECN XL account on 29 June during the London and New York market openings, using the MetaTrader 5 platform. Here are my results:

The highlight of my testing was the 0.0-pip EURUSD spread I captured during both sessions. FXCC’s spreads on FX Crosses, such as GBPJPY, metals, stocks, indices, and crypto spreads were also kept pretty tight.

The only outlier in my testing was the $0.044 median WTI spread I observed, which came in slightly above the industry average of $0.04.

FXCC Swaps

I tested FXCC’s swaps on an ECN XL account on 29 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):

Except for the $20 swap long I recorded on the BTCUSD, which matched the industry average, FXCC’s swaps on instruments from all other asset classes exceeded the industry average. The massive $1164 swap long on the DJI 30 was especially high, dwarfing the industry benchmark of $86.06. Based on that, I found FXCC to be unsuitable for swing trading.

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

Are FXCC’s 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).

The ECN XL account features commission-free trading on all instruments, and my live tests showed that its spreads beat industry benchmarks across all assets, except crude oil.

Two assets stand out from my testing. On the one hand, there is the $0 trade cost I calculated for EURUSD, unmatched by any other broker in our catalog; on the other hand, there is the $44 WTI trade cost. It came in slightly above the industry average of $39.66, making FXCC less than ideal for trading energy commodities.

FXCC Non-Trading Fees

Inactivity Fee: $5/month after 120 calendar days of inactivity.

Deposit and Withdrawal Fees: FXCC does not charge any servicing fees for deposits. But you’ll have to pay a processing fee for withdrawals using most available methods.

Platforms and tools

FXCC MetaTrader 5 Desktop

For this review, I tested the desktop version of MT5. Its installation process is streamlined, with only a few steps. I installed FXCC’s MT5 platform in less than 5 minutes. The platform supports 30+ languages, including English, French, German, Spanish, Arabic, Russian, and others.

MetaTrader 5’s analytical tools include:

Order Types

The MetaTrader 5 by FXCC supports the following order types:

MT5 App

I tested the FXCC MT5 App on my personal Google Pixel phone running Android. I downloaded the App from the Google Play Store and had it installed in seconds.

The MT5 app supports most of the desktop platform’s functionalities, such as watchlist customization, placing market, limit, and stop orders, and more. So the app lets you stay connected to the market and adjust your positions on the go.

You can place market, limit, and stop orders, as well as manage position size and risk directly from the app. That said, the charting experience still feels a bit cramped, and price action can be hard to scale and analyze comfortably on a small screen.

FXCC Copy

Unlike most other brokers, FXCC’s copy trading service offers signal followers greater flexibility. You can still subscribe to experienced traders’ strategies and replicate their success. But FXCC goes further, letting you manage your exposure. You can adjust the traded volume on your end in proportion to the signal provider’s.

For instance, if your account balance is $1,000 and the signal provider you subscribe to has deposited $10,000, you can make it so that the positions opened on your end are 10 times smaller than those on the market expert’s.

Another perk to FXCC is that the broker does not charge a maintenance fee for the service.

VPS Hosting

If you are a high-volume trader and seeking fast, precise order execution, then you can subscribe to FXCC’s Virtual Private Server (VPS) service. It is used to achieve low-latency speeds averaging below 7ms.

I learned that to receive the service for free, you have to deposit at least $2,500 to your account and trade 30 lots per month.

FXCC Execution Parameters

Execution Model

According to my research, FXCC operates on a hybrid STP/ECN model. Client orders are either sent to the broker’s pool of liquidity providers, where they get filled at the best available price, or they get matched electronically.

Execution Speed

I used the MetaTrader 5 platform to measure FXCC’s order execution speed. I placed 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 30 June, just after the New York 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 results:

Note that these values are only illustrative and not necessarily what you might experience with the broker

I calculated FXCC’s average order execution speed at 373ms, which came in above the industry benchmark of 243ms (based on the performance of 12 brokers I recently reviewed). However, this latency may be attributed to several factors, such as my location (in Europe) relative to the broker’s servers. Accordingly, if I had been reviewing the broker’s European entity, its speeds would likely have been much faster.

Customer Support Test

I conducted my first test of FXCC on 2 June at around 9:20 am CET via live chat. An agent connected in less than 20 seconds, which is a faster response time than with most other brokers.

I asked a few basic questions about FXCC’s location and the conditions of the ECN XL account, and the agent provided me with quick, straight-to-the-point answers.

Then I asked about the maximum retail leverage by asset class, and the agent provided me with a link to FXCC’s contracts specs page, where I found various leverage rates.

I did my second test of FXCC on 3 June at around 14:30 CET via live chat. This time, I inquired about FXCC’s copy trading service, VPS hosting, and margin call policy, and I again received fast, exhaustive answers.

My experience with FXCC’s support was one of the best among the brokers I tested recently.

Deposit and withdrawal

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

Account types and terms

How to Open an Account With FXCC

To open an account with FXCC, follow these simple steps:

1. Click ‘Register’ at the top-right corner of the main page.
2. Fill in your name and email address.
3. Choose an account password and trading platform.
4. Provide the rest of your personal details.
5. Upload proof of ID and proof of address to verify your account.

FXCC Account Types

FXCC’s ECN XL account delivers on all fronts. My fee test showed it has a very competitive pricing mechanism with zero commissions and spreads from 0.0 pips, plus a $0 minimum deposit requirement. I also confirmed that this account accommodates all major trading styles, including hedging, scalping, news trading, and algo trading via EAs.

What Leverage Does FXCC Offer?

The maximum retail leverage with FXCC is 1:1000, which is higher than the industry average of 1:500. It means that if you open a trade with a $100 margin and use the full 1:1000 leverage, you would be able to open a position worth $100,000.

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

FXCC Restricted Countries

FXCC does not accept traders from the European Economic Area (EEA), Japan, the US, or any other jurisdiction where trading is prohibited by law.

Research

Economic Calendar

FXCC’s economic calendar is available from the Trading Hub and is powered by TradingView. It allows you to screen upcoming market releases by relevance. You can also access consensus forecasts and previous numbers. I deem this tool very handy for news traders and volatility traders who need to track likely upcoming surges in market volatility.

Market News

The Market News segment is also powered by TradingView and available from the Trading Hub. It is one of the broker’s several news screeners and keeps you up to date on the latest market developments.

I found the tool most useful for contrarian traders because it alerts them to major make-or-break events, such as the USDJPY hitting a fresh 40-year low. Regarding this news alert, I opened the pair’s chart and examined its behavior around this major support level. Without it, I would not have been made aware of this opportunity for a major rebound.

Forex News

Available for free from the website, the Forex News serves as a conventional news screener. Each publication includes a brief overview of a recent market development, such as the prospects for an uptick in volatility in Korean stocks and Michael Bury’s newest bearish bet.

Though insightful, I noticed that the Forex News section lacks the same direct application as the Market News screener, so do not expect to find any trading signals there.

Daily Technical Analysis

For me, FXCC’s daily technical analyses are the most valuable materials. Available for free on the website, these analyses flag emerging trading opportunities across popular instruments. Each publication offers critical insights into the asset’s implied volatility, underlying traders’ sentiment, general market direction, key support and resistance levels, and more.

Day traders following viable trading opportunities would benefit from this content in particular. I found FXCC’s daily technical analyses a solid alternative to similar content offered by Trading Central and Autochartist.

Morning Roll Call

The Morning Roll Call series is primarily aimed at traders who want to understand what drives the market, and why. These market breakdowns offer critical insights into general market correlations, including an overview of the recent US equities rally spurred by the end of the US Federal government’s shutdown.

Education

Traders Corner Blog

The Traders Corner Blog by FXCC contains dozens of articles across a wide variety of topics. These cover recent market trends, such as the US-Iran peace talks, or discuss the most common questions traders ask, such as what the minimum capital required to start trading is.

I read one such article on the difference between index and forex trading, and found it very informative. The author did a good job of defining the two concepts and who they fit best. For example, the article explains that implied volatility tends to be higher on indices and exotic FX pairs, but lower on FX majors.

Major Economic Indicators

The Major Economic Indicators guideline is the one unique segment that I haven’t seen with other brokers. It explains the 14 most important economic reports, such as Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and the Retail Sales Index, and what they mean in trading.

Each indicator is outlined briefly. You can learn about what it tracks, what it means for the economy, and how other traders use it. This will give you invaluable insights and prepare you to trade both proactively and reactively during major economic releases.

eBooks

FXCC’s eBooks cover a wide spectrum of trading topics – from what trading strategy to use to building your own trading plan. I skimmed through the ‘Traders Mindset’ eBook, which I found the most useful of the bunch since it covers the most important topic.

It does a fine job of outlining the hidden dangers of emotional trading and common logical fallacies in trading, as well as showing you the ropes for trading the right way.

And while the broker does a fine job of explaining such complex issues, more rudimentary topics are not covered. For instance, I didn’t find any materials related to reading price action.

Guidebooks

FXCC has also developed several guidebooks that cover the essence of key trading concepts, such as Electronic Communication Networks (ECN) trading, basic pairs trading, rollover, margin, slippage, and more. Think of this type of content as an on-hand glossary.

The bottom line

FXCC is an offshore broker operating out of the Comoros, where it is supervised by the local MISA. The broker is also licensed and regulated by CySEC in Cyprus. It was founded in 2010 and offers more than 1000 CFD instruments via MT4 and MT5.

My live testing revealed that FXCC delivers very competitive prices. It charges no commissions, and the spreads I recorded were tight on all popular assets, except for oil. The highlight of my testing was the $0 cost of trade on the EURUSD – I doubt you can get lower elsewhere. However, the swap fees exceeded the benchmark in my test, so I wouldn’t recommend FXCC for overnight trading.

The broker got my stamp of approval for its free VPS that would serve traders seeking the rapid execution speeds. I also appreciate the introduction of a copy trading service that affords signal followers greater control over their underlying risks.

On the software side, FXCC supports standard MetaTrader 4&5 packages, but it does not offer any alternative web/desktop platforms or mobile apps. I liked its in-house research materials that include daily technical analyses and market news, but the scope of the educational content could be broader.

What I Did not Test

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

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