FXTM Review Conclusions

Launched in 2011, ForexTime or else FXTM is headquartered in Cyprus (EU). The group owns different brands with different licenses. ForexTime Limited is regulated by CySEC (License 185/12) and ForexTime UK is regulated by FCA UK (License 777911).

The FXTM offer six account types, in total. There are three simple accounts (Standard, Cent, and Shares) plus three ECN trading accounts (ECN, ECN-Zero, and ECN-Pro). The ECN pro offers by far the best trade conditions but with very high minimum deposit requirements ($25,000). The general minimum deposit to open an account is just $10 (cent account) and the minimum for an ECN account is $500. The account currencies include EUR, GBP, or USD. There are many funding methods available by FXTM including Cards (Visa, Maestro, MasterCard), WesternUnion, Wire Transfers, Skrill, and others. No deposit or withdrawal commissions are charged by FXTM but there is a small fee for inactive accounts (more than 6 months inactive).

The FXTM asset index contains 59 Forex Currencies, over 10 stock indices, shares, spot metals (Gold and Silver against USD and EUR), and energies (Brent, Crude Oil, and Natural Gas). In order to trade all these assets, you need a standard account. The trading leverage can be up to 30:1. As concerns trading platforms, FXTM offers MT4 and MT5 desktop and web-traders. In addition, there are MT4 and MT5 mobile traders for Android and iOs (optimized for iPad). Automated trading, scalping, and hedging are all allowed. The broker offers relatively fair trading conditions. The EURUSD spread starts from 1.6 pip for standard accounts, but it can get considerably lower through an ECN pro account.

As concerns trading promotions, there is a loyalty programme for reducing trading cost. This programme works with five levels, depending on your balance, you will be trading according to one of five levels, with the possibility of advancing and having even bigger savings in the future. In overall, FXTM is a safe and fair choice for Forex and CFD trading.
