Pros & cons

✓ Pros

  • Wide platform choice: MT4, MT5, cTrader, TradingView, and IRESS (DMA share CFDs)
  • Very competitive Raw ECN pricing, with EUR/USD spreads near 0.0-0.1 pips plus low commission
  • Regulated by tier-1 ASIC (Australia) and CySEC (Cyprus/EU) with segregated client funds
  • Low $100 minimum deposit and large instrument range (10,000+ symbols including share CFDs)
  • Strong industry recognition for MetaTrader and algo trading; free demo accounts

✗ Cons

  • Not regulated by the UK FCA; some clients are onboarded via offshore entities (Seychelles FSA / SVG) with weaker protections
  • Crypto CFDs are unavailable to UK retail clients, and product access varies by entity/country
  • Standard account spreads (from ~1.0-1.3 pips on EUR/USD) are only average versus the Raw account
  • No proprietary mobile/web platform; relies entirely on third-party platforms
  • Placed on a CySEC 'orange' compliance watch list in the past regarding an offshore-related entity

Full review

FP Markets is an Australia-based, ECN/STP forex and CFD broker founded in 2005 and headquartered in Sydney. It suits active and cost-sensitive traders who want tight raw spreads and broad platform choice, as well as beginners who prefer the simpler spread-only Standard account. Its standout feature is platform breadth: MetaTrader 4 and 5, cTrader, TradingView, and the IRESS suite for direct-market-access share CFDs, backed by a large catalogue of 10,000+ instruments spanning forex, indices, commodities, metals, crypto CFDs, and thousands of shares.

On safety, FP Markets holds tier-1 licences with ASIC (Australia) and CySEC (Cyprus, EU MiFID), plus FSCA (South Africa) authorisation, and keeps client funds segregated. However, it is not regulated by the UK FCA, and traders outside Australia/EU may be onboarded through lower-tier offshore entities (Seychelles FSA or SVG), which carry weaker investor protections. Product access is restricted by jurisdiction; for example, crypto CFDs are not offered to UK retail clients.

Costs are a strong point: the Raw ECN account delivers spreads from around 0.0-0.1 pips on EUR/USD with roughly $6 per round-turn lot commission, while the commission-free Standard account starts near 1.0-1.3 pips. Gold (XAU/USD) trades at competitive raw spreads. Rounding out the offer are a $100 minimum deposit, common funding methods (cards, bank transfer, PayPal, Skrill, Neteller), free demo accounts, 24/7 customer support, and IB/affiliate partner programs.

Verdict
✓ Trusted reviews

Independent editorial reviews are consistently strong: ForexBrokers.com 4.5/5 (Trust Score 90/99) and DailyForex 4.9/5, backed by ASIC (Tier-1) and CySEC regulation. Higher-leverage retail clients are onboarded via the offshore St. Vincent entity; no specific regulator enforcement found. Trustpilot/FPA/WikiFX could not be verified this pass (blocked).
