Safety and regulation

SimpleFX is not a Tier-1 registered forex broker but an offshore entity extremely tight in its operations. SimpleFX segregates funds into client bank accounts for better security because the cryptocurrency wallets are currently favored for more confidential transactions in this field.

Regulators on file
  • MFSC
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

SimpleFX provides commission-free trading with spreads, starting from as low as 0.1 pips, which means that they build the cost into the spread for more transparency purposes. Overnight swap fees apply with positions kept overnight and they are clearly shown in the platform. For accounts inactive for a certain period, an inactivity charge will become due.

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.

I've always had a positive experience with SimpleFX since I began using their platform. The user-friendly interface makes trading operations straightforward, and I appreciate the competitive spreads and minimal fees they offer.

I strongly advise against trading with SimplyFX. If they offer a bonus, it seems they don't allow you to make a profit. Be cautious and consider this a warning.

Trading stocks using cryptocurrency as collateral has been a positive experience for me.
