Markets Com Forex checklist

Readers researching forex trading with Markets Com should treat every published figure about spreads, pairs and account conditions as something to confirm directly, because brokers update their offerings and pricing regularly. This page does not list current conditions. Instead, it sets out the specific items to check in the broker's own documents and platform before you commit funds, so your decision rests on current, first-hand information.

What to verify about the forex offering

Start with the instrument list itself. Confirm which currency pairs are actually available to your account type and region by checking the broker's current market list or a demo platform, since availability can differ between entities and account tiers. Also confirm how forex is offered: many retail brokers offer currency exposure through CFDs rather than spot delivery, which affects costs, holding charges and regulatory treatment.

Check the current tradable pairs list on the platform or in official documents, not on third-party pages.
Confirm whether forex is offered as a CFD or another product type, and what that means for your obligations.
Verify minimum and maximum trade sizes for the pairs you intend to trade.
Confirm which account types and regions can access the pairs you care about.

Costs and pricing details to confirm

Forex costs are rarely a single number. Verify the current spread structure for the pairs you plan to trade, whether spreads are variable, and whether commissions apply on any account type. Overnight financing, weekend charges and currency conversion fees on deposits or withdrawals can matter more than headline spreads for some trading styles. Pull these figures from the broker's current fee schedule and legal terms, and record the date you checked them.

Read the current fee schedule for spreads, commissions and overnight financing on your target pairs.
Check for inactivity fees, withdrawal fees and currency conversion charges.
Confirm how swap rates are calculated and when triple-swap days apply.
Test live or demo pricing at the times of day you intend to trade, since spreads can widen outside main sessions.

Execution, leverage and account checks

Before funding, confirm the leverage limits that apply to your account entity and classification, since retail limits differ by regulator. Review the order execution policy for how orders are filled, whether requotes or slippage rules are documented, and what happens during volatile releases. A demo account is a practical way to test platform behaviour before risking money.

Verify margin call and stop-out levels in the account terms.
Use a demo account to test order types and platform stability before depositing.

FAQ

Where can I find the current Markets Com forex spreads?

Check the broker's own fee schedule and live or demo platform pricing directly. Spreads change with market conditions and account types, so figures on third-party pages can be outdated. Note the date and time you checked, since spreads can widen outside main trading sessions.

Is forex at retail brokers usually traded as a CFD?

Many retail brokers offer currency exposure through CFDs rather than spot delivery, but you should confirm the product type in the broker's legal documents. The product type affects costs, overnight financing and the regulatory protections that apply to your account.

What leverage will I get on forex pairs?

Leverage depends on your account entity, regulator and client classification. Retail clients under some regulators face fixed caps on major and minor pairs. Confirm the limits in your account terms rather than relying on marketing pages, and remember higher leverage increases both potential losses and gains.
