overall scores

In this review, you can find all the information you need to decide whether is the right broker for you. Our expert team has thoroughly explored the broker, using a tested methodology and scoring system. This process places importance on the things we know matter most to traders. Below you can see how scored in each of our high-priority categories.

easyMarkets fees and commissions

Our reviewers found that, at easyMarkets, you can enjoy attractive forex spreads for standard accounts, yet slightly higher than average spreads for VIP accounts. On the plus side, easyMarkets is highly competitive in terms of non-trading fees, as you will not be charged for withdrawals, deposits, or periods of inactivity. Overall, the broker’s tier-based fee structure is easy to understand and appealing to traders of all levels.

---

Our experts have reviewed easyMarkets’ fees based on how they compare with the fees of other reviewed brokers. For each broker, we analyze both trading fees and non-trading fees:

–      Trading fees are charged every time you place a trade. They include spreads, commissions, overnight and rollover fees, and currency conversion fees.

–      Non-trading fees aren’t directly related to trading, but you should consider them as they make up the cost of using a certain broker. They include payment fees and inactivity fees.

Below you will find a snapshot of the fees charged at easyMarkets. Our experts have created these tables based on the fees applied to a standard account. We consider a standard account to be the one that will appeal to most traders, often not the cheapest option but not a premium option either.

easyMarkets trading fees

easyMarkets provides transparency for its trading fees. The fees vary based on account type and the trading platform used. To provide an idea, the following are sample fixed spreads for the benchmark EUR/USD pair for clients outside of the EU:

• 2.0 pips on the web/app platform and 1.9 pips on MT4 for Standard accounts
• 1.5 and 1.4 pips, respectively, for Premium accounts
• 1.2 and 0.9 pips, respectively, for VIP accounts

EU clients are offered even tighter spreads. For the EUR/USD pair, spreads are 1 pip on the web/app platform and 0.9 pips when trading with MT4.

While researching this easyMarkets forex broker review, we discovered that the pricing structure is transparent no matter what asset you’re trading. This is the benefit of choosing easyMarkets over a broker with variable spreads. Below you can see more examples of the minimum spreads charged on popular trades:

• Gold (XAU) – 0.45 USD
• NASDAQ (NSQUSD) – 2 pips
• Crude Oil (WTI) – 3 pips

Financing/Overnight Rates

If you choose to trade with easyMarkets on the web platform, you will be charged rolling fees on your open positions at 22:00 GMT, seven days a week. Those who use MT4 will pay the daily rolling fee at 00:00 GMT. This fee is charged on weekdays, with triple charges on Wednesdays to account for the weekends. If you are trading cryptocurrencies with MT4, however, you’ll pay the triple charges on Fridays.

Non-trading Fees

When it came to our easyMarkets broker review of non-trading fees, we were impressed. At this broker, you won’t be charged for deposits, withdrawals, or account maintenance. This is particularly impressive given that most brokers charge some sort of inactivity fee.  As such, easyMarkets is perfect if you are a beginner, unsure of how frequently you’ll trade.

easyMarkets safety

This easyMarkets review analyzed the broker’s overall safety and regulation and found that it excelled in both departments. easyMarkets is licensed by two top-tier, ASIC, and CySEC, and it is also compliant with the MiFID Directive. For further financial safety, easyMarkets offers you negative balance protection, which has been standard since 2001, investor compensation for EU clients, and guaranteed stop-loss orders.

easyMarkets licenses and regulation

easyMarkets is licensed by two of the world’s most reputable regulatory bodies, CySEC and ASIC. Clients within the EU will trade with the CySEC-licensed arm of the broker, whilst Australians and clients from the rest of the world trade with the ASIC registered brand.

• Cyprus Securities & Exchange Commission licenses Easy Forex Trading Ltd with License Number 079/07. This trade name was additionally passported into the European Union via the MiFID Directive.
• The Australian Securities & Investments Commission licenses Easy Markets Pty Ltd in Australia via AFS license number 246566.

Is easyMarkets safe?

Our review methodology considers several factors to ensure that all of our recommended brokers are safe and reputable. Alongside the number and strength of licenses, we also consider:

• What protection and/or insurance easyMarkets offers should something go wrong.
• easyMarkets’ reputation, history, and management.

easyMarkets client protection

Our easyMarkets review team found that EU clients will receive financial protection, in the event of the broker becoming insolvent. Unfortunately, this is only available if you choose to trade with the CySEC regulated arm of easyMarkets.

Client Protection

Country	Legal Entity	Protected Up To	Regulators
European Union	Easy Forex Trading Ltd	20,000 EUR	CySEC
Australia and Singapore	EASYMARKETS PTY	No Protection Offered	ASIC
Rest of World	EF Worldwide Ltd (BVI)	No Protection Offered	FSA
Rest of World	EF Worldwide Ltd (SEY)	No Protection Offered	FSA

easyMarkets offers negative balance protection for all clients and has done since it was first founded in 2001. Negative balance protection means you will never lose more than you have funded into your account. This, combined with easyMarket’s unique Freeze Rate and dealCancellation features, gives you a solid way to control risk.

easyMarkets also offers no slippage on its proprietary trading platform, as well as free guaranteed stop-loss orders. The broker’s use of fixed spreads ensures that traders are always fully aware of the spread cost or bottom line, even if the market conditions change. This is particularly important when trading some fo the more volatile markets available at easyMarkets, such as forex and cryptocurrency CFDs.

In compliance with regulations, easyMarkets segregate client funds in top-tier banks with low credit risk. The broker also maintains sufficient capital in liquid form to cover the client deposits as well as potential fluctuations in the currency positions of the company.

easyMarkets background and reputation

easyMarkets has been in operation since 2001, and this long history in the industry comes with a solid reputation. The broker has global offices, in Australia, China, Colombia, Cyprus and Marshall Islands. The broker first operated under the name ‘easy-forex’, yet they rebranded in 2016 when they started offering a more diverse range of CFDs. This change was well documented, which adds to the broker’s transparency. easyMarkets is regulated by CySEC and ASIC giving you the security and peace of mind you need. stiIf such a long and clean history isn’t enough to convince you of easyMarkets’ trustworthiness, consider some of the awards the broker has won.

In 2017, easyMarkets was named the Best Trusted by Investors by JRJ China and the Most Transparent Broker by Forex-Awards.com. Additionally, easyMarkets has a 5-star rating on Trustpilot.

easyMarkets account types

At easyMarkets our review team found you can choose from three account types as a non-EU client. These accounts all feature options for all investment levels. EU clients, on the other hand, can only open VIP and professional accounts but these have been adjusted to be just as accessible. All accounts provide 24/5 support, a personal account manager, and access to trading insights. They also all provide safety via guaranteed stop-loss, negative balance protection, no slippage, and fixed spreads.

Demo accounts

Our easyMarkets broker review team strongly suggests that new traders start with a demo account. This is a free account available from the broker and it includes access to $10,000 of virtual funds. Using the demo account provides you with access to real trading conditions, access to the broker’s more than 200 markets, and one-click trading.

Islamic accounts

easyMarkets offers you the ability to convert all account types into Sharia-compliant accounts. These accounts allow you to hold positions overnight for up to two weeks, without incurring swap or interest fees.

The broker’s Islamic accounts offer all the same features as the non-Islamic accounts, except those that would run contrary to Sharia law. As such, you have access to more than 200 instruments, the choice of the web, mobile, or MT4 platforms, guaranteed stop-loss and take profits, fixed spreads, and personal customer relations managers. VIP Islamic Accounts also receive dedicated professional analyst support.

easyMarkets trading platforms

Our easyMarkets forex broker review found that the broker offers an excellent choice of four platforms. The broker’s proprietary platform is easy to use and available in browser or on mobile devices. There is also support for the popular MetaTrader 4, and a separate platform for easyMarkets’ unique Vanilla Options trading.

---

easyMarkets offers four trading platforms. A trading platform is simply a software interface that allows you to place trades. Trading platforms often come with charting, research, and order processing tools too.

To ensure that we only recommend high-quality brokers, our reviewers have tried and tested each of easyMarkets’ trading platforms. When doing so, they considered a range of factors, including how easy the platforms are to use, what features each trading platform offers, and how suited each platform is to different types of traders.

easyMarkets Web Platform

The easyMarkets Web Platform provides full access to the instruments offered by the broker. It includes features such as free guaranteed stop-loss, fixed spreads, and no slippage. The exclusive dealCancellation feature lets you cancel a deal within one, three or six hours for a small fee. dealCancellation is an appealing option if you want to take advantage of volatility, make a larger deal, or trade for big events.

Another innovative feature is Freeze Rate, which lets you pause a rate for several seconds. This often-overlooked feature is particularly helpful given the volatile nature of the forex and cryptocurrency markets.

If you want unlimited rewards but limited risk, our experts recommend using easyTrade. Another special feature only available at easyMarkets, easyTrade lets you take advantage of zero spot spread, your choice of trade time, and your prediction of up or down. The feature automatically calculates your equivalent deal size for your convenience.

The Web Platform includes real-time instrument charts that let you choose the time frame and make the other expected adjustments. You can use Open-High-Low-Close charts, line charts, and candlestick charts, and time scales from one minute to weekly. There is the ability to add symbol comparison layers and overlay a range of indicators. Inside Viewer also provides market sentiment information on the platform.

Overall, easyMarket’s web platform is perfect for both beginners and veteran traders as it is intuitive and full of valuable features.

easyMarkets MetaTrader 4

easyMarkets also gives you access to the popular MetaTrader 4 platform and all of its powerful features. You can take advantage of fixed spreads and negative balance protection. There is access to more than 80 markets, with fixed spreads. The margin call is at 70 percent and deal stop-out is at 30 percent.

One-click trading is available, and you benefit from the pre-installed analysis tools and indicators. MT4 features predesigned templates or you can create your own, and you can test your Expert Advisors with more than 20 years of historical data.

MT4 for easyMarkets offers multiple order types, including pending orders and market orders. Pending orders can include buy stops, sell stops, buy limits, and sell limits.

Vanilla Option platform

The Vanilla Option Platform is a unique offering that our easyMarkets forex broker review encourages you to explore if you’re interested in options trading. This is a piece of highly user-friendly software that has been added as a trading ticket to your trading app. Now you can step up a quick hedge during periods of volatility, or choose to trade with a maximum risk amount without capping your trade’s potential. Our reviewers found that this gives you a new level of control that isn’t offered by many competitors. The Vanilla Option Platform appeals to those who want to trade majors, minors, or precious metals under known parameters.

EasyMarkets App

The easyMarkets App is a downloadable native application for Apple or Android devices, available directly from the Apple Store or the Google Play Store. The application allows multiple trading methods, including easyTrade.

As with the Web Platform, you can review easyMarkets tools on the App, including Inside Viewer and dealCancellation. The application also features price notifications on your smartphone, a convenient market explorer optimized for mobile, live rate graphs, and a financial calendar.

What is the execution policy at easyMarkets?

easyMarkets is a market maker broker, and so it has lower entry requirements than you would find with an ECN broker. Our experts were also impressed to find that the easyMarkets execution policy includes a strict ‘no slippage’ rule. This guarantees that the price you see on the platform is the price your order will be executed at.

With easyMarkets, minimum and maximum order sizes depend on the trader and the instruments. As does the number of orders that can be open simultaneously.

---

easyMarkets markets and products

easyMarkets offers access to over 200 instruments, including forex, metals, indices, cryptocurrencies, commodities, options, and shares. The broker has an above-average number of precious metal pairs, which makes it a great option if you’re interested in trading gold. The following table summarizes the instruments available to trade via easyMarkets, either on the broker’s proprietary platforms or via MetaTrader4.

Currency pairs

When trading forex, easyMarkets offers dozens of currency pairs for you to select from. These include majors, minors, and exotics. Spreads are always fixed, and they are reasonably competitive.

It is also possible to trade forwards on the forex market via easyMarkets, an offering that not all brokers have. Trading forwards is a popular method of hedging, and it involves simple over-the-counter contracts. They include price protection and a complete hedge, providing traders with a risk management tool to counter future volatility.

Commodities

Our review of easyMarkets forex broker found that trading commodities is a convenient way to diversify your portfolio with the broker. All of the commodities available are paired with the USD and they include energy and agriculture instruments.

Commodities are one of the many assets that easyMarkets offers solely in the form of CFDs.

Precious metals

As you review easyMarkets precious metal CFD offerings, you will notice that the broker offers a surprising number of pairs. While there is an average number of metals themselves available (five), easyMarkets offers XAU with an impressive 10 currencies and XAG with an equally competitive eight currencies. Metals trading on easyMarkets includes Day and Options deals.

Indices

The range of index CFDs available at easyMarkets is well varied. You can trade indices from around the world, as well as those traded with various currencies, including USD, GBP, EUR, CHF, AUD, and HKD.

Popular indices include US Dow, NSQ, the EU DAX, the UK FTS, the AU ASX, and the Japanese NKI. Spanning North America, Europe, Asia and Australia, easyMarkets indices offering is well suited to traders

Stocks and shares

The shares on easyMarkets are available in the form of CFDs, so they are only available on the broker’s proprietary platform, not MT4. The shares include worldwide instruments, featuring pairs with USD, EUR, AUD, HKD, and JPY. This is perfect if you’re wanting to trade with the biggest global brands, such as Netflix, Intel, Tesla, and Amazon.

Cryptocurrencies

As expected, the cryptocurrencies available for trading via easyMarkets are all in the form of CFDs. You can trade BTC, XRP, or ETH, all with USD. This is an around average selection of cryptocurrencies for a forex broker however, with easyMarkets, you have the additional benefit of fixed spreads. Even during Bitcoin’s huge bull run in 2017, the broker kept its spreads unchanged.

Options

Most of the options from easyMarkets are currencies although commodities (OIL/USD) and precious metals (XAU/USD and XAG/USD) are also available. Minimum deal lengths vary from one day to one week, while maximum deal lengths vary from two months to six months.

Trading vanilla options provides some control as you get to manage the level of risk as well as the time frame. It is different to CFDs and Forex, however, as you need to decide if you think an instrument will go up or down, what price it will reach, and when it will reach it before you place a trade.

Social trading

Social trading is not available on easyMarkets. For those interested in the automated aspects of social trading, our review team of easyMarkets forex broker suggests taking advantage of Expert Advisors in MT4. Trading signals are also available for some assets, including shares, to provide an element of expertise.

easyMarkets customer support

Our easyMarkets review team found the broker’s customer support to be very helpful, which is confirmed by client ratings. There is good accessibility to customer support, both in terms of contact methods and hours, which is beneficial if you are trading outside of standard time-zones.

Should you need to contact easyMarkets, you are almost guaranteed to find a method that suits your needs. There are numerous ways to do so, including:

• Live chat
• Customer support email: [email protected]
• Phone: +357 99 875 998
• Viber: +35799875998
• Facebook Messenger: easyMarkets.
• WhatsApp: +357 99 875 998

The live chat tool from easyMarkets has a very prompt response during the day yet it is much slower during the night. When we contacted support via live chat, we typically received a response within seconds and had our sample questions answered quickly.

Emails usually take several hours to receive a response. Be sure to contact the appropriate email address for your query, which will likely be customer support. If you choose to send a message to easyMarkets via the contact form, you will need to enter your name, email, subject, and your message.

Most of the easyMarkets’ social media pages are primarily for sharing information, except for Facebook Messenger. Both Facebook Messenger and WhatsApp are great contact options for mobile traders.

We found that the support agents are friendly, helpful, and competent. If you’d prefer not to speak to support, however, you’ll also find an extensive FAQ guide on the broker site. This offers answers to most standard questions, however, we found that you may need to seek extra help to find information relating to your specific account type.

easyMarkets mobile compatibility

As part of our review of easyMarkets, we tested the broker on both iOS and Android mobile devices, and we were impressed. The website displays fully, providing the same level of information as the desktop version. As expected, you’ll need to click a few more times to access navigational menus but doing so is still intuitive.

If you want to use the easyMarkets Web Platform within your mobile browser, it’s possible. However, we strongly recommend that you download the easyMarkets app for even smoother trading on the go.
