FXTRADING.com Review 2026

Trust

How Does FXTRADING.com Protect You?

I reviewed the broker’s client agreement and execution policy to examine how FXTRADING.com protects its clients. The Terms and Conditions file and the other legal docs can be accessed from the bottom of the page.

Here is what I found out about Gleneagle Securities Pty Limited:

✅ Segregated Accounts – Client funds are kept separate from the company’s own capital.

❌ Negative Balance Protection – Your losses may exceed your invested capital.

✅ Compensation Scheme – In the event of insolvency, you may be entitled to compensation of up to AUD 200,000 under the broker’s professional indemnity insurance.

Note: The protections you might be entitled to depend on the entity you choose to open an account with.

Stability and Transparency

I scanned FXTRADING.com’s LinkedIn page to gather data about the broker’s background. I learned that it was founded in 2014 and has its headquarters in Australia. FXTRADING.com has 91 associated professionals, ranking in the upper range compared to other forex brokers.

The broker claims to have negative balance protection; however, I searched its terms and conditions document and was unable to find any confirmation of this. The only reference to ‘negative balance’ was in point 3.3, where it is stated that the broker may transfer client capital from one account to another to offset any outstanding debt.

I searched for other legal documents on the FXTRADING.com website, but was unable to find any. Most importantly, there is no risk notice, which is an industry-standard practice that states the percentage of traders who end up losing money trading leveraged products with the broker. As a result, I was unable to provide the exact loss rate in FXTRADING.com.

Is FXTRADING.com Safe?

Despite some transparency issues, I found FXTRADING.com sufficiently safe to trade with due to the following factors:

• It is supervised by ASIC and VFSC
• Client funds are kept in segregated accounts
• Client funds are protected against the broker’s credit liabilities by up to AUD 200,000 under its professional indemnity insurance.

FXTRADING.com Trading Fees

FXTRADING.com Spreads

I tested FXTRADING.com’s spreads on Standard and Raw Spread accounts on 4 May 2026 during the London and New York market openings. I used live accounts on the MetaTrader 5 platform. Here are my results:

Standard Account: FXTRADING.com’s currency spreads were slightly above the industry average. In contrast, its metals spreads beat the benchmark marginally, and the index and crypto spreads were also kept pretty low.

The highlight of my review was the $0.02-$0.04 crude oil spread, which I recorded during a persistent global energy supply crunch, caused by the US/Iran war.

On the downside, FXTRADING.com’s stock spreads were massive during my test, making the broker unsuitable for stock trading.

Raw Spread Account: The Raw account offers better spreads compared to the Standard account across most instruments I tested. The only exception was stocks. This time around, I recorded even higher AAPL and TSLA spreads, which is unusual for a Raw account. More to that point, the $2.02 TSLA spread was the highest I have ever observed for the asset.

FXTRADING.com Commissions (Raw Spread Account Only)

In addition to spreads, FXTRADING.com charges round-turn commissions on its Raw Spread account. A round-turn (also round-trip) commission is a fee you pay to open and close a full-sized contract (100,000 units).

Here is a breakdown of the applicable commission rates for instruments from different asset classes:

The broker’s commissions on indices are in line with the industry average, while forex, gold, and crypto commission rates are less competitive. The crude oil commission is very low, confirming that FXTRADING.com is more than a good option for energy traders. Commissions on stocks are a few times more expensive than the benchmark.

FXTRADING.com Swaps

A swap fee is the cost of keeping a trade open overnight, and it’s tied to the difference in interest rates between the two currencies in a pair. If you’re holding a buy (long) position, you may either pay or earn interest depending on the rates—this is called a swap long. The same applies to a sell (short) position, where the overnight charge or credit is called a swap short.

I tested FXTRADING.com’s swaps on Standard and Raw Spread accounts on 4 May 2026. I used live accounts with the MetaTrader 5 platform.

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

I discovered that FXTRADING.com’s overnight costs fluctuated widely. Its energy and gold swaps were better than the industry average, while its Forex swaps exceeded it. Stock swaps were kept surprisingly low, while its crypto costs outstripped the benchmark.

The recorded Dow Jones 30 swap long charge of $8.46 came in nearly 10 times lower than the industry average of $86.06, and added value to the broker’s already low spreads and commissions on indices.

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

Are FXTRADING.com’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).

I calculated a $34 trading cost for one full WTI contract (1,000 barrels) – noticeably lower than the industry average of $39.66. This was undoubtedly the highlight for me because I recorded these low costs, while most other brokers’ WTI costs were rising due to the ongoing US-Iran war at the time.

The observed prices on stocks were the outliers of the review, outpacing the industry average several times over. Forex costs also stood marginally higher than with most other brokers, while metals, indices, and crypto costs were mostly competitive.

FXTRADING.com’s Raw Spread account features lower forex costs than the Standard account, but steeper than the broader industry. The same applies to GBPJPY and gold, while stock prices peaked well above the industry average. In contrast, index and crypto costs stood cheaper than the benchmarks.

I found that the Raw Spread account offers the most favorable conditions for trading crude oil: $23.70 per 1,000 barrels, well below the industry average of $29.74.

Inactivity Fee: $0.

Platforms and Tools

FXT WebTrader

Intuitive Design: Whether you are a first-time trader or a seasoned vet, you will find the FXT WebTrader easy to use thanks to its streamlined interface. Notice the watchlist of preferred instruments on the left-hand side, which is also where you can access the most recent TC signals for each instrument, the charts and positions screens in the middle, and the order-placing panel on the right-hand side.

High-definition Charts: The platform stands out with its superior charting capabilities by TradingView, allowing you to zoom in on price action and examine it in great detail.

AI-generated Signals: Another strong point of the platform is the actionable trading signals by TC, integrated directly into it. With just a couple of clicks, you can read about the current trading opportunities on the EURUSD, Gold, Crude Oil, and other popular instruments. I opened one such signal on gold and monitored its development. Full description of how that went is available in the Research section of the review.

Availability & Features

The FXT WebTrader platform is available for Windows and Mac users and supports 6 languages, including English, Chinese, and Vietnamese.

FXT WebTrader features include:

• Customizable Watchlists: Monitor your favorite trading instruments from your custom-built watchlists.
• One-Click Trading: Enter trades instantly at market price — perfect for scalpers or fast-paced traders.
• Chart Trading: Place and manage orders directly from the chart, including entry points, volume, stop-loss, and take-profit levels.
• MT4/MT5 Integration: Monitor and adjust any positions you place on MT4 or MT5 from the FXT WebTrader. The platform’s universality allows you to use your FXTRADING.com account across its multiple platforms.

Room for Improvement: I found that FXT WebTrader lacks several key functionalities, including price alerts, depth-of-market (DoM) trading, and Expert Advisors (EAs) trading. Those are all available with FXTRADING.com’s MT4 and MT5 platforms.

Charting & Analysis Tools

The first thing that stood out to me about FXT WebTrader’s charts was the familiar TradingView interface, and I really appreciated the full-screen trading mode. As an experienced technical trader, I prefer examining price action on wide screens, where it is easier to spot minor changes within the broader market trend.

For testing the FXT WebTrader, I used the XAUUSD (gold) chart and set it to a 4H time frame. I also applied three Moving Averages (MAs indicate possible levels of price rebounds), the Ichimoku Cloud indicator (underscoring the prevailing market sentiment), and the MACD stochastic indicator (showing the current market momentum).

The greatest advantage of the chart was its fluidity. The three MAs and the Ichimoku Cloud were overlaid on top of price action, but I never lost sight of them. In contrast, older, less versatile platforms like MetaTrader often make price action difficult to read when you add 1 or 2 indicators or drawing tools.

Thanks to that fluidity of the chart, I was able to quickly obtain the most important information about gold at that time: the price was temporarily consolidating between the three MAs as bullish momentum was running out in the short term (as confirmed by the MACD), but gaining traction in the longer term (Ichimoku Cloud indicator’s reading).

The FXT WebTrader is also packed with analytical tools, including:

• 107 built-in technical indicators: From trend-following to oscillators and volume-based tools. You can use these to spot price trends and ranges and to assess their strength.
• 50+ drawing tools: Including Fibonacci retracements, Elliott Waves, and more for technical pattern spotting. I use tools like Elliott Waves to identify impulse legs and corrections within a price trend, and the Fibonacci retracement levels to map out major support and resistance levels within the same trend. I then use these levels as reference points for potential entries (i.e., buying the dip of a bearish correction within an established trend) or exits.
• 9 timeframes: Great for multi-timeframe analysis. The FXT WebTrader features timeframes starting from 1 minute to 1 month. Typically, I use higher timeframes (above 4H) to determine the market’s general direction and smaller timeframes (below 1H) to spot viable entries within the broader trend.
• 12 chart types: Line, bar, and candlestick options let traders view price action in their preferred format. Personally, I prefer candlesticks because they provide a more comprehensive picture and can help identify potential trend reversals.

Order Types

The FXT WebTrader platform has a leg up on MT4 and MT5 when it comes to order execution. In particular, the platform displays all relevant information right on the order-placing panel, so you do not have to look it up manually, unlike MetaTrader.

For example, I checked the parameters for placing a short XAUUSD order and immediately noticed the current swap short rate of $0.30 (to access this information in MetaTrader, you have to open a separate “Specification” window) and the metals leverage of 1:300 (MetaTrader does not display the leverage rate).

Moreover, the FXT WebTrader displayed the prevailing buying and selling pressures at the time (35% vs 65%) and calculated the distance the market would have to cover if I shorted at 4,625.19 and set a take profit at 4,620.

Based on all that, I found the FXT WebTrader a better fit for day and swing traders than MetaTrader, as it provides more information for risk-reward analysis.

I also worked through the three main order types supported on the FXT WebTrader platform. Those include market orders for instant entities, limit orders for entries at an exact price, and stop-loss orders for capping the maximum losses you can incur from a single trade.

FXTRADING.com App

I tested the FXTRADING.com App on my personal Google Pixel phone running on Android.

The app has a sleek, user-friendly design and features all the tools of the web version. These include market, limit, and stop orders, TradingView charting with the same array of 107 technical indicators and 50+ drawing tools, and actionable trading signals by TC. It is also information-rich, showing the exact spread rate (between the bid and ask prices) and current swaps.

I am skeptical of mobile trading apps in general, because they are not well-suited for sophisticated technical analysis on low-resolution devices. However, I enjoyed the FXTrading app for its light, practical design and high functionality. It is an indispensable tool for account management on the go and for keeping pace with the latest trading opportunities.

FXTRADING.com Execution

Execution Model

FXTRADING.com operates on a hybrid STP/ECN model without a dealing desk. Client orders are either routed to the broker’s pool of liquidity providers, where they get filled at the best available price, or they get matched electronically via communication networks.

Execution Speed

I used the MetaTrader 5 platform to measure FXTRADING.com’s order execution speed. I placed several orders on the EURUSD, gold, crude oil, and the Dow Jones 30 in quick succession on 2 April around 12:20 CET. I used a demo account for my hands-on tests because I did not deposit real capital to my live account.

I recorded order execution speeds of around 144ms on the EURUSD, 156ms on gold, 205ms on crude oil, and 227ms on the Dow Jones 30. For comparison, the industry average order execution speed is around 60ms.

While the speeds I recorded on these popular instruments lag behind the industry benchmark, this may be due to external factors beyond FXTRADING.com’s control. For example, the broker offers three access servers (as shown in the bottom-right corner of the screenshot), located internationally, while I am based in Europe. This may result in latency and negative slippage (a discrepancy between the requested price and the price at which the order gets filled).

VPS Hosting

The relatively slow order execution speeds recorded with FXTRADING.com can be offset using the broker’s Virtual Private Server (VPS) hosting. It allows you to achieve ultra-fast order execution speeds of 2-5ms, considerably faster than the industry average and suitable for high-volume traders and scalpers.

I learned that FXTRADING.com offers VPS hosting for free to clients who trade at least 10 standard lots per month. Otherwise, it will cost you a $25 a month. I also learned that FXTRADING.com offers a wide range of VPS server locations, including Amsterdam, Frankfurt, London, New York, Singapore, and Tokyo, catering to traders worldwide.

Customer Support Channels

Customer Support Test

When I test a broker’s customer support, I evaluate the agent’s knowledge of their own website, the time it takes them to respond to questions, and the level of detail in their answers.

I began my tests by asking FXTRADING.com’s chatbot about the broker’s background. I inquired about its founding year and headquarters, and the bot provided satisfactory answers. Then, I requested to speak to a live agent. One connected within a couple of minutes, which is normal given that I was performing my test during busy office hours.

I asked the agent whether FXTRADING.com charges a handling fee for social trading, to which the agent said no. The agent pointed out, however, that signal providers may charge their own subscription fee.

I proceeded with my test by asking the agent about FXTRADING.com’s professional indemnity insurance coverage, whether the broker offered Islamic accounts, and whether it charged an inactivity fee on dormant accounts. The agent’s responses were once again swift and thorough.

My other takeaway from the test is that the agent was very polite and eager to assist. From my experience with other brokers, a conversation typically ends with a request for a positive review, whereas FXTRADING.com ended the conversation by wishing me a great day. This showed care for the client that made a positive impression on me.

For my second test of FXTRADING.com, I decided to test the chatbot’s knowledge, so I asked a series of questions about the broker’s execution model, trading server locations, commissions on the Raw account, and maximum retail leverage. Its responses were instant, thorough, and nicely structured. I found FXTRADING.com’s chatbot more intuitive than those of most other brokers.

3. Provide your email address.
4. Choose an account password.

FXTRADING.com Account Types

It took me less than 10 minutes to set up my Standard and Raw Spread accounts with FXTRADING.com, not counting the time it would have taken to verify them. Both have very low deposit requirements of only $50, making them quite affordable. However, inexperienced traders should be careful when going for low-deposit accounts, because the less equity you have to trade with, the less legroom you have to survive the volatile market conditions.

Both the Standard account (all three variations) and the Raw Spread accounts feature a 100% margin call and a 50% stop-out. This is pretty standard in the industry and provides some protection against complete account wipeouts.

The standout feature of FXTRADING.com’s accounts is that they can run simultaneously on MetaTrader and the FXT WebTrader platform. In other words, any orders you place via MetaTrader can be adjusted on FXT WebTrader, and vice versa. This gives you great flexibility, as you can use the same account to squeeze the maximum out of both platforms – the better charting and integrated market research of FXT WebTrader, and the DoM and EAs trading of MetaTrader.

By logging in to the Client Area, you can also access the Social Trading hub, connecting signal providers and signal followers. You can use it to list your own strategies and set a subscription commission, or to browse the leaderboard and choose an available strategy to subscribe to.

What Leverage Does FXTRADING.com Offer?

The maximum retail leverage with FXTRADING.com is 1:2000, which is very high compared to other brokers. This means that if you use just $100 to open a trade and utilize the full 1:2000 leverage, you would be able to open a position worth $200,000.

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

FXTRADING.com does not state how many retail traders actually lose money with it. This is a key risk assessment procedure with most brokers supervised by Tier-1 regulators. Typically, the percentage of people who lose their capital trading leveraged products with EMSA-, FCA-, or ASIC-regulated brokers ranges between 70 and 80%. This is considerable, given that the maximum retail leverage with brokers authorized by Tier-1 regulators is much lower (max. 1:30) than FXTRADING.com’s 1:2000, which poses an even greater risk for inexperienced traders.

FXTRADING.com Restricted Countries

FXTRADING.com does not accept traders from the United States, Canada, North Korea, Iran, New Zealand, or any other country or jurisdiction where trading is prohibited by law.

Research

Economic Calendar

The economic calendar by FXTRADING.com helps you keep pace with upcoming financial events and economic releases that could affect markets and stir heightened volatility. The calendar is stacked with all essential filters, allowing you to select priority events you might be interested in trading.

I filtered for the most anticipated events on 6 April, and three prominent events came up, chief among them the ISM Services PMI in the US (an inflation gauge). I was able to read the previous value (56.1 points) and the current forecasts 54 points). These data are all invaluable to news traders looking to position themselves ahead of such prominent releases.

Trading Central Content

Actionable trading signals by Trading Central are integrated directly on the FXT WebTrader platform and FXTrading App. You can open the latest signals on your favorite instruments and learn about the prevailing market sentiment, key support and resistance levels, target levels, stop-loss levels, and more.

I opened one such signal on gold on 1 April at 18:00 CET. It utilized the RSI stochastic indicator, two MAs (20-day and 50-day), and the Bollinger Bands indicator. The RSI was trending above 50, confirming the strong bullish trend; the two MAs tracked the trend and confirmed the short-term bullish strength, while the widening Bollinger Bands indicated rising volatility.

All signals were pointing to a likely continuation of the bullish trend towards 4860. However, that did not pan out, and instead, a bearish correction ensued towards 4600. This was the alternative scenario suggested by the TC signal. And this is what is so valuable about a good trading signal – it should come with a contingency plan in case the underlying market conditions change.

The TC package also includes the Market Buzz sentiment gauge, showing the latest mentions of popular instruments over the past 24 hours. You can use it to learn about the most widely-discussed assets and thereby anticipate likely upsurges in volatility.

Market News

The FXTRADING.com website features a news screener providing global coverage of the most important geopolitical news. It screens news bulletins from popular sources, such as marketwatch.com and Bloomberg, as well as less popular sources, such as hindustantimes.com. My only gripe with the news screener is that not all articles have direct trading applications.

Education

FXTRADING.com’s only beginner-focused content is a few guides. These are written in an FAQ format and address basic questions, such as how to get started with the broker and what orders can be placed on MetaTrader.

The Bottom Line

FXTRADING.com is a forex and CFD broker based in Sydney, Australia. It was founded in 2009 and offers 187 tradable instruments. You can trade currency pairs, commodities, stocks, indices, and cryptocurrencies.

I recorded industry-low crude oil spreads starting from $0.01 per barrel. Metals, indices, and crypto costs were also kept tight, though FX and stock prices, in particular, were elevated in my test.

The FXT WebTrader platform is another highlight of FXTRADING.com. Its charts are powered by TradingView, and the platform also features TC’s actionable trading signals. I gave the FXT WebTrader a spin and found it suitable for day and swing trading. And if you are interested in algorithmic trading, you can choose between FXTRADING.com’s MT4 and MT5 platforms.

I opened a series of orders and recorded FXTRADING.com’s execution speeds at around 144ms-227ms. This is slower than the industry average of 60ms. On the plus side, if you want to achieve faster execution, you can make use of FXTRADING.com’s free VPS.

FXTRADING.com’s greatest drawback is the lack of educational content. This limits the ceiling for first-time traders. Nevertheless, I found FXTRADING.com a suitable choice for energy, day, and swing traders.

What I Did not Test

Please note that for this review of FXTRADING.com, I did not:

1. Use live accounts to test FXTRADING.com’s order execution speeds;
2. Upload proof of ID and proof of address to fully verify my FXTRADING.com’s live accounts;
3. Deposit or withdraw real capital into or from FXTRADING.com.
