Safety and regulation

A contract between FXGlobe and Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission means that the former is regulated by the latter, making it an official entity according to EU financial directives and protecting the money of clients. Client funds are held in very secure and segregated accounts with the major top-tier banks, while FXGlobe is a legal member of the Investor Compensation Fund (ICF) certifying up to €20,000 for each client's money in the worst of insolvencies.

Risk warning

Between 70% and 85% of retail investor accounts lose money when trading CFDs with most regulated providers — the exact figure for any specific broker is published on that broker's own website. Consider whether you understand how these instruments work and whether you can afford the high risk of losing your money.

What you pay

Fees and costs

There is a starting point of 1.2 pips while trading with great Pro accounts as it is raw spread where one will be paying a commission that amounts to $7 per lot. This detail is actually built straight right into the broker's rate site. Overnight swap would be imposed on holding positions overnight, plus Islamic accounts for swaps-free trade are open. Inactivity fees start in a dormant account, which will range from $25.

Methodology

How we reviewed this broker

Each broker review documents the broker's claimed regulators, cross-references them against the public registers (FCA, CySEC, ASIC, FSCA, BCC and others), and notes any divergence. Where a regulator has issued a public advisory, the URL is cited inline so a reader can verify it directly. Tradable instruments, account types, and fees are sourced from the broker's published disclosures or documented as unavailable. The full scoring methodology is public.
