Trading Experience

“Sheer Markets provides clients access to over 1,400+ financial CFD instruments across Forex, Shares, Indices, Commodities, Non-Deliverable Forwards, and Cryptocurrencies, all through the globally renowned MetaTrader4 and MetaTrader 5 trading platforms for Web and Windows.

From our observations, Sheer Markets provides clients with a good all-around service offering across Forex, Shares, Indices, Commodities, Non-Deliverable Forwards, and Cryptocurrencies. The broker is also one of the few to offer Non-Deliverable Forwards CFDs to retail traders, giving them access to new exotic markets.

Users can access these markets through the globally renowned MetaTrader 4 and MetaTrader 5 trading platforms for Web and Windows. There are also four account types available – Sheet Classic, Sheer Classic Plus, Sheer Prime. Both Classic accounts offer commission-free trading with slightly larger spreads whereas Prime accounts are commission-based but with raw spreads.

Although the broker does provide an Economic Calendar, the overall market research is limited and market commentary and analysis is only available to clients who make the higher deposit for the Sheer Classic Plus and Sheer Prime Plus accounts. Similarly, the education material is limited to only key trading terms.
