FxPro Group

FxPro earns its platform reputation: MT4, MT5, cTrader and TradingView all connect to the same login without friction, which matters more to a trader who already has a preferred charting tool than a broker that only speaks MetaTrader. The Raw+ pricing is genuinely tight on EUR/USD and gold, but the commission climbs on other pairs, and a trader chasing the single lowest all-in cost should still put FxPro's numbers next to a dedicated ECN broker before assuming four platforms is worth paying extra for.

Best for Traders who value platform choice, especially cTrader or TradingView users, over chasing the single cheapest spread

Standard account spread
From 1.2 pips (MT4), 1.4 pips (MT5), no commission
Minimum deposit
$100 across MT4, MT5 and cTrader accounts
Leverage
Up to 1:500, entity dependent

XM Group (Trading Point)

XM makes opening and funding an account trivially easy, and a $5 minimum with a genuine $30 no-deposit bonus is unusual generosity for a broker regulated by four Tier-1 bodies. The catch sits in the account list: the Zero account, the only one priced close to a raw-spread ECN broker at $3.50 per lot per side, is restricted to XM's CySEC entity and unavailable to most clients outside the EU. Everyone else gets Ultra Low, at roughly 0.6 to 1.1 pips on EUR/USD with no commission, a fair beginner price but not an ECN one.

Best for Beginners who want a very low entry cost and are not chasing raw-spread pricing

HF Markets Group

HFM's Zero account does what it promises outside Europe: raw spreads from 0.0 pips, a commission we found closer to $6 per lot than the advertised $3, and leverage up to 1:2000 no FCA- or ESMA-regulated broker on this site can legally offer. The five-entity structure spans the FCA, CySEC, FSCA, Seychelles FSA and Dubai's DFSA, but a European resident lands under the strictest of those, not the loosest, so the leverage headline is not available to everyone reading this. HFcopy works, but its performance fees varied noticeably between the providers we followed.

Best for Traders outside the EU and UK who want high leverage and low-cost raw spreads under real, if mixed-tier, regulation

Zero account spread
From 0.0 pips
Minimum deposit
$0 on Zero account (some regions show $25 minimum)
Maximum leverage

ForexTime

FXTM's Advantage account still delivers what it advertises: a spread from 0.0 pips and a $7 round-turn commission that competes with the raw spread specialists it is priced against. What changed is the surrounding business. FXTM Invest closed in 2024, the UK entity shut down in 2026, and the Advantage account's own deposit floor has risen from the $200 widely quoted to $500 on FXTM's current page, so a trader comparing today's FXTM to reviews even a year old is looking at a narrower, pricier entry point than those reviews describe.

Best for Traders outside the UK who want raw MT4/MT5 pricing and can meet the higher deposit floor

Forex spread (Advantage)
From 0.0 pips
Minimum deposit (Advantage)
$500 (or currency/local equivalent) per FXTM's current account page

RoboForex

RoboForex's ECN account does what it advertises: spreads floated from 0 pips in our testing, commission scaled by volume, and the $10 minimum is genuinely one of the lowest we have tested for ECN-grade pricing. CopyFX held up too, with over 2,000 visible strategies and full investor control over stop-loss and subscription terms. The problem sits with the regulatory picture: the core brand operates under Belize's FSC, a licence with none of the compensation-fund obligations FCA or ASIC carry, softened only by a Financial Commission membership offering up to 20,000 euros per verified claim. That is a real, quantified safety net, just a much smaller one than the marketing tone suggests.

Best for Cost-focused traders comfortable with offshore regulation who want cheap ECN pricing and access to CopyFX

Floating from 0 points, volume-scaled commission

Ultima Markets

Ultima Markets launched in 2016 and runs three tiers: Standard from $50, near 1 pip, no commission; ECN from $500, 0 pips plus $5 commission; Pro ECN from a steep $20,000, the same raw spread plus $3 commission. That top tier competes with the cheapest ECN pricing we track anywhere on this site, but it sits out of reach for most retail traders. Regulation splits: a real FCA licence covers UK clients, while the entity most others use answers to Mauritius's FSC, a tier-2 regulator with lighter enforcement power than the FCA or ASIC. No deposit or withdrawal fees round out a broker that is cheap at the top and unproven everywhere else.

Best for Well-funded traders who can meet the $20,000 Pro ECN minimum and accept Mauritius-level regulation outside the UK

Deposit/withdrawal fees
None charged by Ultima Markets
Leverage
Up to 1:2000 for non-EU clients; 1:30 under FCA rules

FBS Markets

FBS now sells a single live account, a Standard tier open from $5 with a spread quoted from 0.7 pips and no separate commission, replacing the old five-tier menu of Cent, Micro, ECN and Zero Spread accounts. Leverage runs up to 1:3000 for clients on the Belize entity, where most sign-ups outside the EU and Australia land, carrying only IFSC oversight rather than a CySEC or ASIC licence. Deposits and withdrawals were free and on time in our test. The cost is regulatory: Ukraine, Malaysia and Brazil have each warned against unauthorised FBS activity.

Best for Traders who want a cheap, no-frills entry and accept a Belize-regulated account with high leverage

EUR/USD spread
From 0.7 pips, no commission

LiteFinance Global

LiteFinance's ECN account opens from $50, not the $10 figure that only applies to its Cent account, quoting spreads from 0.0 to 0.2 points with a commission that sources put anywhere from a few cents to roughly $0.50 a lot, a gap worth confirming before funding a live account. Social Trading is a genuine built-in feature, letting an investor copy a trader for a share of profitable trades rather than through a bolted-on app. The regulatory picture needs care: only the Mauritius FSC and European CySEC entities hold an actual licence, while LiteFinance Global LLC in St. Vincent and the Grenadines, the entity most offshore clients sign with, is not regulated at all.

Best for Cost-conscious traders willing to open with the Mauritius or CySEC entity instead of the unregulated one

ECN spread, majors
From 0.0 to 0.2 points in active sessions

Leverage
Up to 1:1000 on forex, 1:50 on crypto

AMarkets

AMarkets executes ECN trades competitively and its Financial Commission membership offers a real, if capped, dispute path that many offshore brokers skip entirely. It does not replace a Tier 1 licence, and the euro20,000 compensation ceiling is small next to what a serious account can lose.

Best for Traders who accept offshore regulation for high leverage and cheap ECN pricing

ECN spread
From 0 pips + $2/lot commission

Alpari

Alpari's execution and platform choice are fine for a small offshore account, but the Comoros MISA licence replaced the FCA and CySEC registrations that once backed the name, and that gap in protection is the whole story now.

Best for Traders who already accept offshore risk and want cheap ECN pricing on MT4 or MT5

InstaForex

InstaForex has operated continuously since 2007, a longer run than most brokers on this site, and a $1 minimum opens its Standard or Cent account. That longevity does not carry through to pricing: Standard quotes a fixed EUR/USD spread near 3.0 pips, several times a raw-spread ECN broker's charge, and the cheaper Pro and Zero tiers require a $100 deposit instead. Regulation splits between a CySEC entity, fined 130,000 euros in 2018, and a BVI-licensed entity most international clients sign up through, with meaningfully less recourse than a CySEC or FCA dispute process. Heavy bonus and contest marketing, plus recurring withdrawal complaints, add friction a broker this old should have fixed.

Best for Traders drawn to a long track record and a $1 entry point who accept BVI-level regulation and a wide spread

Standard EUR/USD spread
Fixed, around 3.0 pips, no commission
Minimum deposit
$1, Standard and Cent accounts; $100 for Pro, Zero and Raw
Leverage
Up to 1:1000 standard; XAccounts advertise up to 1:5000
