Markets.com Review, Test & Rating in 2025

Our positive Markets.com experiences start with a wide range of trading instruments, over 2200 in total, which is more than the average CFD broker offers. They also have many useful trading tools for stock screening or webinars for trading lessons. With Traders Trend, traders can always see the current distribution of long and short positions in markets. Under its CySEC (EU) entity, Markets.com is a member of the ICF Investor Compensation Fund which is able to provide compensation up to EUR 20,000 and low swap fees due to a large amount of available CFD futures. Markets.com offers a wide range of educational materials, webinars and trading tools.

At Markets.com there is a difference between the trading conditions of the Metatrader 4/5 and the Markets.com Webtrader. In addition, Markets.com requires a minimum distance from the current market price to fill stop orders (such as stop-loss). US traders are not able to trade with Markets.com.

Markets offers several asset classes and over 2200 different trading instruments 

Markets.com offers exotic trading assets as well. For example blends. Blends copy the portfolios of well-known stock market legends such as Warren Buffet or George Soros. This allows you to invest in individually composed products.

The CFD trading instruments include, among others.

• +56 Forex/currency pairs
• +32 Indices
• +5 Metals
• +27 cryptocurrencies
• +23 Commodity/Energies
• +2200 shares

Markets.com has some advantages and, like any broker, its weaknesses. Currently the trading conditions at Markets.com are favourable and the spreads are mostly below average. The spread of the DAX is up to 0.8 points. Markets offers CFD futures as well, which is suitable for medium-term traders like swing traders. These CFD contracts are offered on a futures rollover basis to keep swap costs low. By far the biggest advantage of Markets.com is the wide selection of tradable stocks. There are CFD stocks from over 12 countries and numerous ETFs. On the negative side, Markets.com has a small minimum gap for stop-loss or limit orders. Markets.com offers webinars and analysis tools. For example, insider activities of managers are tracked and processed. Daily analyst comments are also collected (so far unfortunately only in English).

At Markets.com there are several trading platforms available to choose from. For Forex and CFD trading, platforms include the classics MetaTrader 4 (MT4) and MetaTrader 5 (MT5) which are available in a choice of formats such as web, desktop and mobile for Android or iOS devices including smartphones and tablets.

In addition to the widely used MetaTrader platforms, Markets.com offer their proprietary Markets.com multi-asset platform which comes complete with integrated in-platform tools for trading the financial markets. The Markets.com platform is browser based so it does not require a download and traders on-the-go can download the Markets.com mobile trading app.

Trading instruments and trading conditions are dependent upon the platform. The Markets.com platform does offer a significantly higher number of trading instruments than MT4 and MT5, details of which are available on the Markets.com website.

Retail clients of Markets.com have access to a standard trading account that offers a wide range of tradable assets such as CFDs and Forex.

In recent years, Markets.com underwent a rebranding process, and during this time, the trading conditions have been improved to better serve its clients.

These adjustments show the broker's commitment to providing the best possible trading experience for its clients.
