We start our FxPrimus review with some of the key features of this Cyprus-based CFD broker. FxPrimus is a brand of the FXPRIMUS Group, established in 2009 and acclaimed for offering one of the safest online trading environments available in the retail FX industry.

FxPrimus is a well-regulated broker, supervised by one of the leading global financial regulators, the Cyprus CySEC, but also with a branch regulated by the nation island of Vanuatu (VFSC), catering for the international clientele.

FxPrimus offers leveraged CFDs trading in forex, indices, equities, energies, precious metals, futures and cryptocurrencies, with 4 different accounts, tailored to suit every type of trading strategy and also automated trading.

Each account is priced differently to accommodate investors’ needs, with the minimum deposit ranging from 10 USD to 25,000 USD and with a maximum leverage of 1000:1. And to top it up, FxPrimus offers attractive 30% and 100% trading bonuses and also accepts account funding with several cryptocurrencies, processed via Bitpay.

On the downside, FxPrimus pricing, with a special note for the trading commissions, is not the most competitive. The trading commissions for the most popular account, the ECN account, are $10 per round turn lot. If we convert that commission into pips, it will be 1.0 pip and adding that to an average spread of 0.4 pip for the EUR/USD cross, the total cost of trading this pair will be 1.4 pip – indeed not the most competitive for an ECN type account.

FxPrimus offers several accounts tailored to suit every trading strategy and every investor’s needs. In total, the broker offers 4 different retail accounts, with different leverage limits, pricing and minimum deposit requirements. Let’s check out each account and its features, firstly with the accounts offered by the Primus Markets INTL Ltd entity regulated by the VFSC:

FxPrimus Micro account* is designed for novice traders, new to CFDs trading, for investors looking to trade with smaller trading volumes, or for strategy testers looking for a live account to test an EA, for example. Spreads are floating, starting at 1.4 pip for major pairs, with no trading commissions and Micro accounts can be opened with a maximum leverage ratio of 1000:1 and with a very low initial deposit – 10 USD.

*_{Please note, Micro accounts are not available to traders registering a live account with Primus Global Ltd (CySEC regulated entity).}

FxPrimus Variable account is best suited for experienced retail traders looking to trade only with the bid and ask prices, without any added commissions. The FxPrimus Variable account spreads are also floating, starting at 1.4 pip for major pairs, with no trading commissions and the Variable accounts can be opened with a maximum leverage ratio of 1000:1 and with a low initial deposit of just 15 USD.

FxPrimus ECN account is the broker’s ECN model account, suitable for all traders, and with lower spreads, in return for a trading commission. Spreads are also floating, starting at 0.1 pip on major FX pairs, but with a hefty trading commission of $10 per round turn lot. The minimum deposit starts at 500 USD and the maximum leverage ratio available is also 1000:1.

FxPrimus VIP ECN account is the broker’s flagship account, suitable for professional traders, and with very attractive trading conditions. The VIP ECN account boasts a very competitive trading commission of just $5 per round turn lot and floating spreads starting at 0.1 pip for some major FX pairs. The maximum leverage ratio is capped at 500:1, and the only less positive feature of this competitively priced account is the minimum deposit – 25,000 USD to benefit from the VIP ECN trading conditions.

The CySEC regulated entity, Primus Global Ltd, offers only 2 trading accounts – Variable and VIP ECN. Both accounts have similar specs to the VSFC regulated entity, but with a 30:1 maximum leverage for retail traders.

Then, there are some extras that FxPrimus labelled packages; Standard, Premium and VIP, offering some nice perks depending on the account deposit: the Standard is offered to investors depositing at least $500, the Premium package is offered with deposits of $2500 and more, and the FxPrimus VIP package, that includes even personal access to a market specialist and VIP trading signals is offered with deposits of $10,000 and above.

FxPrimus Pricing

Spreads and trading commissions

FxPrimus’s rewards investors with a higher trading equity and the pricing of its VIP ECN account is slightly better than the pricing offered by other players in this industry. The starting spread for the most popular cross, the EUR/USD pair, on the Micro and Variable accounts is 1.4 pip, commission-free.

The highlight goes to FxPrimus’s ECN VIP account, with more competitive pricing and trading conditions. Taking the EUR/USD cross again as our example, FxPrimus proposes a starting low spread of 0.1 pip and also one of the lowest trading commissions in this industry. For 1 standard lot (100,000 currency units) of EUR/USD, with the VIP ECN account, the trading commission is $5 ($2.5 per side/per lot). The catch? A minimum deposit of $25,000 is required to open a VIP ECN account.

Expecting that most traders cannot afford such a higher deposit, the option will be the FxPrimus ECN account, with a minimum deposit of $500. But the pricing of this account is above the industry benchmark. With a trading commission of $10 per round lot, the FxPrimus ECN account is priced much higher when compared with several other top brokers who charge on average between $6 to $7 per 100,000 currency units traded, regardless of the account balance.

Rollover rates

FxPrimus swap rates, as of 22-10-2021, and for the EUR/USD, stand at -0.49 for holding overnight a long position of 1 lot and at -0.05 for holding overnight a short position of 1 lot. We consider FxPrimus’s rollover rates to be much lower when compared with the rollover rates offered by other top brokers.

FxPrimus Deposits / Withdrawals

Deposit fees: Trading accounts can be opened in 6 different fiat currencies and maintained via several funding methods, including the traditional methods (debit/credit cards and bank wires), and also with the most popular e-wallets such as Neteller, Skrill, and FasaPay (all funding methods are subject to jurisdiction). Traders can also fund the FxPrimus accounts with cryptocurrencies, via Bitpay.

FxPrimus does not charge any deposit fees and funds deposited with cards and e-wallets are available within minutes on the trading account.

Minimum deposit: Opening a trading account with FxPrimus can be done online, taking around 10 minutes to complete the required forms and preliminary confirm the details. FxPrimus minimum deposit requirement to open a live account is $10 for the Micro* account, $15 for the Variable account, $500 for the ECN account and the VIP ECN account is $25,000.

_{*Please note, Micro accounts are not available to traders registering a live account with Primus Global Ltd (CySEC regulated entity).}

Withdrawal fees: FxPrimus also waives the withdrawal fees (processing times vary depending on the deposit/withdrawal method chosen, normally within 1-5 business days). FxPrimus does not charge any fees for bank wire withdrawals, however, deposits/withdrawals may incur fees on payments to and from some international banking institutions. For more information, please visit the FxPrimus deposit and withdrawals dedicated page.

Inactivity fee: Currently, FxPrimus does not charge an inactivity fee or any account maintenance fees.

FxPrimus Popularity

FxPrimus is not a very popular CFDs broker with the trading community, perhaps due to its higher trading costs and limited range of available financial instruments. With FxPrimus investors can trade with different trading platforms, the reliable MT4 and the evolute MetaTrader 5, allowing all types of strategies and automated trading.

On the other hand, FxPrimus has some key features that could be very popular with traders: FxPrimus accepts deposits in crypto, processed via Bitpay and investors can set a foothold on the financial markets with the FxPrimus Micro account, requiring a very low initial deposit of just $10, and offering micro lots for trading.

The FxPrimus Micro account is the ideal playground for novice traders, as it represents a safe trading environment with real market conditions, where newbies can practice their trading strategies and learn while trading, without risking a big amount of capital.

And on top of that, FxPrimus offers attractive 30% and 100% trading bonuses, to new and existing clients of Primus Markets INTL Limited. With a minimum deposit of 500 USD, eligible traders will receive a 150 USD trading bonus on their accounts up to a maximum of 1,500 USD.

Also, with a minimum deposit of 500 USD, eligible traders can claim a 100% bonus, up to a maximum of $10,000, plus up to $4 cash back for every lot traded. The bonus can be used to trade forex, commodities, energies, indices and cryptocurrencies.

Popular trading account: The FxPrimus Variable account is the popular choice with traders for its low initial deposit and for the traders looking to trade just with the bid and ask prices, without any added trading commissions.

Trading education

FxPrimus loses a couple of popularity points for its limited range of trading and educational materials, available through the "Tools” and “Education” tabs on its website. FxPrimus clients can find the broker’s blog with some market articles, market news and limited market analysis, enrol on a few webinars, check out an economic calendar and use 3 trading calculators.

The Micro and Variable accounts have floating spreads, for the major currency pairs, starting at 1.4 pip, with an average of 1.6 pip, without trading commissions. The ECN and VIP ECN accounts have also floating spreads, for the major currency pairs, starting at 0.1 pip, with an average of 0.4 pip, plus a trading commission.

To check out FxPrimus ECN Premier spreads and FxPrimus Variable spreads, please refer to the FxPrimus Live Spreads web page.

Is FxPrimus an ECN broker?

No, FxPrimus is not an ECN broker, but a Market Maker broker. As clearly stated on the broker’s international website: “The website is operated by Primus Markets INTL Ltd, a member Company of the FXPRIMUS Group…” and confirming that FxPrimus is a Market Maker broker “The operator of the website is also the Company acting as the counterparty in any dealings with Clients”.

And on the FxPrimus European website, we find this notice: “The website is operated by Primus Global Ltd, a member Company of the FXPRIMUS Group, with registration number HE 337614 and registered address at Kolonakiou 57, Linopetra, 4103, Limassol Cyprus. The operator of the website is also the Company acting as the counterparty in any dealings with Clients.”

On both FxPrimus websites (international and European), on the legal documents page we can find the Client Agreement with the Primus Markets INTL Ltd entity, regulated by the VFSC and the Client Agreement with the Primus Global Ltd entity, regulated by the CySEC, and going straight to the Risk Warning section, point 7.2 we can read:

“When trading in CFDs, the Client is trading on the outcome of the price of an Underlying Asset and that trading does not occur on a regulated market but over-the-counter (OTC). The Client accepts that FXPRIMUS is the only execution venue, which is a non-regulated market.”

So, FxPrimus is not an ECN broker. FxPrimus is a Market Maker broker offering investors a safe trading environment with increased liquidity, competitive pricing (VIP ECN account), a Micro account for novice traders, and for those who need to test a trading strategy, very low account deposits (Micro and Variable accounts) and a high leverage rate of 1000:1 (VFSC regulated entity only).

All the features mentioned above are only possible because FxPrimus is a Market Maker broker. A Market Maker broker posts bids and offers to ensure market liquidity is available, and they are always ready to trade with you. In simple terms, if an investor wants to buy a security, they will sell it, and if an investor wants to sell a security, they will buy it.

Before ruling out the possibility of trading with a Market Maker broker, consider what your trading requirements are, and rest assured, FxPrimus is one of the safest places to trade.

FxPrimus review - final considerations.

We conclude our FxPrimus review with the final considerations regarding this CFDs broker. FxPrimus stands out for its ongoing promotions and attractive bonuses, available to clients registering an account with the Primus Markets INTL Ltd entity regulated by the Vanuatu VFSC.

Also positively, the minimum deposits required to open a live account are some of the lowest in the industry, earning some popularity with the trading community, merged with the acceptance of cryptocurrencies as an account funding method.

The ECN trading environment offered by FxPrimus, in lockstep with fast execution speeds provided to traders, allows for reliable transactions and order filling. FxPrimus clients are also allowed to hedge, scalp, use EAs and other automated trading systems, swing or position trade, with no restrictions.

Oppositely, the FxPrimus ECN account lacks the competitiveness to be considered a good alternative for savvy traders – mainly because of its disproportionate trading commission of $10 per traded lot. If we convert the commission value into pips, we are trading with a disadvantage of 1.0 pip, when most top brokers charge a commission of 0.6 and 0.7 pip.

Overall, the safety of funds offered by FxPrimus for retail clients, together with the excellent range of attractive promotions and bonuses offered, merged with a low initial deposit of $10 (for the Micro account), position this CFDs broker on the top 25 brokers for popularity with traders opening a trading account in 2023.
