What makes this brokerage unique is that it dispenses with all the fees and commissions and provides traders with competitive spreads. Traders can enjoy generous loyalty rewards and cashback, as well as access to 2 powerful CFD trading platforms. DETAILS Xapo is neither an actual crypto exchange – though it does let its users purchase Bitcoin – nor does it really have anything to do with trading. It is a crypto-focused operation, in the sense that it offers a wallet service, a vault, as well as a Bitcoin debit card. DETAILS Trading 212 may not be one of the top online trading brands out there, but it is certainly a brokerage very up-to-date in regard to regulation and trading conditions. DETAILS Swissquote Bank is a licensed and regulated trading and financial service provider, based in Switzerland. It is one of the oldest and best-trusted online brokerages in Europe and not only.

Highly recommended for CFD beginners and pros. DETAILS SolidCFD – a Forex/CFD broker Committed to Low-Cost Trading (No Commission). While in the beginning, the brokerage offered a slew of financial services, these days, it is focused exclusively on CFDs. DETAILS There’s not much point in tiptoeing around the obvious, so let us put this out there right away: the user feedback concerning QuadrigaCX’s services is quite abysmal. Many do not hesitate to call the operation a scam and there are indeed a few things off about how it conducts its activity. DETAILS Founded back in 2014, by cryptocurrency industry standards, Poloniex is indeed one of the older exchanges. While its reputation is mixed (Poloniex-bashing has developed into a sort of sport in crypto-circles), the operation offers a fairly impressive range of services and it seems to uphold some more than decent operating standards too. DETAILS What exactly is there to know about MaxCFD, besides the fact that it is unlicensed and its reputation is not exactly stellar – to say the least? Obviously, we’d like to know everything about the corporate background of the operation, but unfortunately, the About Us page of the official MaxCFD website is very stingy with such details. The footer does drop a few clues in this regard though. DETAILS As far as reputation and prestige go, Kraken is indeed one of the best destinations for the trading of cryptocurrencies. Founded in 2011 and based in San Francisco, the exchange is indeed a true industry veteran. Its services are available to users across the US (with the exception of New York, which is BitLicense territory), Canada, the UK and most of the EU. Japan also belongs to Kraken’s preferred jurisdictions. DETAILS Korbit was the first ever Korean cryptocurrency exchange to offer BTC/KRW trading. It is also one of the biggest and most popular Korean exchanges and given the lively nature of the country’s crypto scene, that is indeed no small feat. Unlike some of their industry peers, Korbit do accept fiat currencies too. Their trading platform is great, though their local-focused nature places them off the beaten path for all non-Koreans. The newest laws have not really made things any better in this regard either. DETAILS InterTrader prides itself on offering its clients 100% market-neutral trade execution. Its platform offer seems decent as well, and its trading conditions are not bad either. With all that, the operation has developed something of a toxic reputation online. What is driving the client backlash? Why isn’t InterTrader all it could/should be? Let us take a closer a look. DETAILS GDAX is one of the biggest names in the cryptocurrency industry. Being Coinbase’s advanced exchange, that is indeed quite natural. Short for Global Digital Asset Exchange, GDAX does indeed live up to its name. Though primarily designed for advanced and institutional traders, GDAX’s trading platform is kind to beginners too. DETAILS Indeed, FXCM (Forex Capital Markets) is one of the pioneers of the online trading world. The operation was founded way back in 1999, which – in internet terms – makes it downright ancient. The brokerage has a rather rough history to look back on too, which included a near-bankruptcy situation at one point. DETAILS Launched in 2013, close to the height of the binary option fever, Fortrade did indeed start off as a binary option brokerage, but that is all in the rearview mirror now. Nowadays, it is a licensed and regulated Forex and CFD operator, which has racked up a decent reputation, despite some ghosts of the past it had to beat off in this regard. DETAILS While at first glance, Degiro looks like a very decent and reasonable trading destination with low fees, there are scores of client complaints out there regarding the incompetence of its support staff. What is the truth though and should you consider joining the Degiro fold as a trader? DETAILS Launched in 2012, at the dawn of the crypto-age, Coinbase is without a doubt one of the biggest, best and most appreciated cryptocurrency exchanges out there. DETAILS CMCMarkets is a well-established, global online trading brand, with offices in several spots around the world, and a unique trading platform. The operator is indeed licensed DETAILS Most people know Bittrex as a US-based cryptocurrency exchange, which is very keen on compliance and transparency. The operation is so much more than that though. In addition to hosting a cutting-edge wallet service as well, it is a virtual hotbed of Blockchain innovation. DETAILS Most people know Bittrex as a US-based cryptocurrency exchange, which is very keen on compliance and transparency. The operation is so much more than that though. In addition to hosting a cutting-edge wallet service as well, it is a virtual hotbed of Blockchain innovation. DETAILS Proclaimed the world’s biggest and most advanced cryptocurrency trading platform, Bitfinex is indeed an industry leader and it has been in that position for a while. It was founded way back in 2012, and it is easily one of the crypto exchange pioneers. DETAILS Advertised as an “online bank for investors and savers”, Binckbank is certainly not your typical online brokerage. It is a well-regulated and well-established online bank, which peddles an interesting palette of services in several European countries. DETAILS BDSwiss is definitely not a stranger to anyone who’ve sampled the binary options craze of the last few years. As the binary options market dried up, many brokerages chose the path of regulation and Forex/CFDs. BDSwiss is one of these operators. Many traditional forex brokers have recently created subsidiaries that are their entries into the thriving world of binary options, after waiting a few years to see if the trend was real. Banc de Swiss or BDSwiss.com, as its website address proclaims, however, is one binary broker that chose to use this strategy in reverse. DETAILS Founded in 2007, AxiTrader is a global Forex brokerage built by traders for traders. The driving force behind the launching of the brokerage was the fact, according to the Axitrader website, that its creators wanted to provide a way for the public to trade the way they liked to trade themselves. DETAILS Launched in 2014, Capitalindex.com is a fairly new brokerage, yet it still managed to build up a proper reputation in only 4 years. Traders feedback regarding the operation is very genuine and more importantly: positive. People do complain about certain problems, but they never fail to point it out that they see Capitalindex.com as a legitimate trading destination. DETAILS Launched in 2014, as online Forex/CFD brokerages go, Umarkets is a relative newcomer. Its Forex Peace Army page living testimony, it is already struggling with reputation issues too. On top of everything, Umarkets’ regulatory status is less than ideal as well. DETAILS The best offshore broker for us traders – that’s exactly what people say about MyFXChoice on various message boards dealing with FX/CFD broker reviews. Apparently – while there may be some issues here and there with the service – MyFXChoice (previously known as FXChoice) is so good, that many people think there’s no point in dealing with anyone else, for US traders. DETAILS LCG (short for London Capital Group) is one of the older actors of the online Forex trading scene. Founded some 20 years ago, the operation is a well-regulated and seemingly well-oiled one. DETAILS Judging by the fact that most trader feedback on GTCM is in Italian, and that the three languages supported by the GTCM website are English, Spanish and Italian, it is indeed safe to assume that we are dealing with an Italian-focused brokerage here. DETAILS Launched in 2010, GKFX is what can be considered a well established online trading brand. Despite that fact, the reputation of the brokerage is not particularly stellar – to say the least. DETAILS Launched in 2015, EverFX is indeed one of the newer online brokerages and as such, it has yet to earn its stripes. As far as reputation is concerned, thus far, EverFX is a mixed bag. DETAILS FXGM is a Cyprus-based online trading operation, which does not offer financial services to US-based traders. DETAILS Launched in 2009 and apparently based in Russia, FBS.com is a yet another brokerage with a genuinely global reach. In addition to the head office, the operator maintains offices in scores of other countries too. Its services are available in more than 190 countries and thus far, more than 7 million traders chose to make use of them one way or the other. DETAILS Offering Forex, CFDs and Spread Betting, ActivTrades is indeed one of the older online brokerages out there. Launched in 2001, it has nearly two decades’ worth of experience under its belt. DETAILS CAC400 fancies itself as a “forward-facing”, cutting-edge brokerage, which offers its traders an “intelligent” trading platform, suiting the needs of beginners and advanced, high-volume traders alike. Fancy talk aside though, the main selling points of the operation are – as stated on its website – its outstanding customer service and its unrelenting focus on client satisfaction. DETAILS Founded way back in 2011, in South Africa, CM Trading is indeed one of a handful of brokers who accept traders from Canada. As such, Canadians will probably want to know whether it is safe – and at the end of the day: potentially profitable – to trade with this operator. DETAILS DF Markets is a regulated FX/CFD and Spread Betting provider based in the UK, which is actually a reputable operation. Indeed, while most reviewers will praise any operator that offers them an attractive commission on trader referrals, in DF Markets’ case, this conclusion stems from actual trader feedback gleaned from various forums/message boards. DETAILS DirectFX is a brokerage in a rather special position right now: for at least 10 more weeks, it will apparently only function in a limited manner, as the regulator (ASIC) under which the operation falls, takes its time to re-launch the business. What it means is that for the time being, the brokerage does not accept any new traders. DETAILS Launched in 2011, Fibogroup is one of the older actors of the online FX/CFD scene. Though based in the British Virgin Islands (and regulated by the financial authorities there), the operation seems focused on Russia, having picked up awards from there and from some of the ex-CIS countries. DETAILS Launched in 2012, FXORO is a well established and experienced member of the FX/CFD industry. As such, it has thus far managed to build up an outstanding profile reputation-wise. Indeed, unlike most of the brokers we have reviewed, FXORO has drawn very few user complaints, and almost no scam allegations. Trader feedback about this operator is generally lacking though, which is rather surprising given its age. DETAILS Launched way back in 2006, FxPro is a reputable online FX and CFD brokerage, with more than a decade’s worth of experience under its belt. Having been around for so long, the brokerage garnered all sorts of reviews from its traders and various other parties, and indeed, some of these reviews are less than savory. DETAILS HotForex is yet another broker of a truly global scale, which has been around for almost a decade now. Founded way back in 2010, the operation has thus far managed to keep an impressively clean slate reputation-wise. It also accepts Canadian traffic, which makes it one of only a handful of online brokers who serve clients from that country. DETAILS Launched in 2007, Instaforex is one of a handful of online operators who accept traders from Canada. Can we wholeheartedly recommend this trading destination to Canadians though? Unfortunately, the answer to that is no. DETAILS Interactive Brokers is a truly global brand and it does indeed have a Canadian branch, which is good news for traders in that country, though given the rather negative user feedback the operator has managed to accrue, that may indeed not be the case. DETAILS Libertex’s reputation problems are so shrill, the above title may actually turn out to be an understatement. There are reviewers out there who have hands-down billed the operation a “scam”. This is at least a little peculiar, since Libertex is not actually a scam, and there’s little to no user feedback indicating otherwise. DETAILS Questrade is a Canadian born and bred operation, which enjoys a pretty good reputation in the country. Most Canadians seem to love the services of the brokerage, although some will readily admit that there are indeed some slip-ups here and there. DETAILS As far as client satisfaction is concerned, Tickmill have a surprisingly good profile going. Most of their users seem to love their services and most of the reviews propagated through user-feedback portals, are indeed positive for the brokerage. That said, there are of course still a few complainers, and as always, we have taken a closer look at the issues they brought up. DETAILS USGFX is an Australian FX/CFD Broker, which is apparently well-liked within the country. Offering “premium trading conditions”, the operator has picked up several industry awards during its run. Despite that though, user feedback from outside the country, regarding its services, is less than savory – to say the least. Moreover, USGFX brand representatives have apparently tried to influence the online reputation score of their brokerage, by posting positive reviews of it at various portals. DETAILS Although not quite as old and experienced as some of its direct Aussie competitors, TradeDirect365 is indeed one of the most prominent and reputable Australian Forex/CFD brokers. Founded in 2014 by Davin Clarke (who currently acts as CEO), the operation has thus far accrued almost exclusively positive user feedback. Advertised as a brokerage created “by traders for traders”, TradeDirect365 is indeed well liked by most of its users. DETAILS As far as experience and reputation goes, FPMarkets is indeed a tough operator to trump. Having been around for more than 14 years, it takes pride in knowing exactly what traders need and want. Whether the broker puts that knowledge to good use though and indeed delivers what its traders need, is usually a different question altogether. DETAILS Founded in 2009, XM.com is what one would call a “well-established” and experienced brokerage. Over the course of its existence (which now spans nearly a decade) XM.com has accrued plenty of user feedback, most of which is good, but some of which amounts to little more than complaints. Interestingly, while some of the user feedback portals have awarded the broker more than decent scores, others have thought it fit to give it 1-2 stars out of 5. DETAILS Based in St Vincent and the Grenadines, ForexEE is indeed an ECN broker offering excellent trading conditions (attractive ECN spreads), which does enjoy an outstanding reputation among traders, despite the fact that it does not seem to be regulated. The regulatory position of the brokerage is indeed special to say the least. One of the primary reasons why brokerages set up shop in St Vincent and the Grenadines is that the local regulatory environment is rather lax. It is easy to obtain a license there. ForexEE is indeed based there, but for some reason it hasn’t bothered picking up a license yet…the story does not seem to add up.
