We begin our FP Markets review by highlighting some of this CFDs broker’s features. Notoriously, the broker offers DMA access to over 10,000 shares from global exchanges, including the NYSE, ASX, NASDAQ and LSE. Investors looking to trade this type of financial instrument can take advantage of FP Markets’ minimal fees and commissions as low as 0.08%.

The Direct Market Access (DMA) pricing model provides traders access to transparent and precise execution, and, additionally to genuine market data, the DMA model ensures investors receive live market prices, full market depth and direct access to the exchange order book (via FP Markets IRESS DMA* platform).

_{*Please note that the FP Markets IRESS DMA accounts are only available with First Prudential Markets Pty Ltd, Australia’s ASIC regulated entity.}

Also positively, FP Markets is a pioneering broker with regards to the crypto ecosystem. Traders can go long and short on the top 5 most traded cryptocurrencies, Bitcoin, Ethereum, Ripple, Bitcoin Cash and Litecoin, with very competitive spreads. For example, for the BTC/USD pair the broker declares a minimum spread of 2.02 with an average spread of 7.66, with zero trading commissions! Quite competitive, in our opinion.

And on top of that, FP Markets also accepts funding with BTC, ETH, LTC, XRP, BAT, BNT, CVC, ENJ, FUN, LINK, MITH, MTL, OMG, REP, XLM, BCH and USDT – subject to the contracting entity jurisdiction.

On the downside, the FP Markets Standard account is signalled as slightly uncompetitive, with higher average spreads, and slippage – both positive and negative – that occurs frequently, especially during increased market volatility.

FP Markets simplifies its offering with only two types of trading accounts, the Standard account and the Raw account, with different pricing. The entry-level account, for retail clients, is the Standard account, offered by the FP Markets LLC entity, and also by Cyprus and Australia’s regulated entities.

FP Markets also offers a Pro account with the entity in Europe and a Pro account for residents in Australia, for customers classified as “Professional”, with higher leverage ratios and a personal account manager.

The FP Markets Standard account is available with all of the Group entities and is recommended for the investors looking to trade only with the bid and ask prices, without any added commissions.

The FP Markets Raw account – also offered by all of the Group entities – is a more aggressively priced account, especially when trading forex pairs, with tighter spreads, from as low as 0.0 pip, but with a slightly below industry average trading commission of 3 USD per side per 1 lot traded.

The FP Markets IRESS account (only available with First Prudential Markets Pty Ltd in Australia) is the broker's account for shares CFDs trading. The IRESS is divided into three accounts, Standard, with a minimum balance of AU$ 1,000, Platinum, with a minimum balance of AU$ 25,000 and Premier, with a minimum balance of AU$ 50,000. Each account is priced individually, with different brokerage rates, ranging from $10 minimum and then 0.1% commissions to no minimum and then 0.8% commissions.

The broker also offers swap-free accounts for traders of Islamic belief and viable options for money managers looking for FP Markets MAM/PAMM accounts.

Regarding leveraged trading, FP Markets maximum leverage ratio is 500:1 for retail clients opening a live account with the entity in St. Vincent & The Grenadines, and limited to 30:1 for retail traders opening a trading account with Australia’s ASIC and Cyprus CySEC regulated entities.

Currently, FP Markets trading accounts are available in several base currencies (subject to jurisdiction): AUD, USD, EUR, GBP, SGD, HKD, JPY, NZD, CHF or CAD.

FP Markets Pricing

Spreads and trading commissions

FP Markets pricing and trading costs are amongst the most competitive in this industry when compared with other players. The starting spread for the most popular cross, the EUR/USD pair, on the Standard account, is 1.6 pip, commission-free.

Things improve massively with the Raw account. FP Markets competitively prices its Raw account with a starting spread of 0.0 pip on major crosses, like the EUR/USD, with a trading commission of $6 per round lot traded (100,000 base currency units).

For investors looking for an alternative broker for shares trading, FP Markets proposes its IRESS range of accounts, with a focus on the extremely low commissions of the Premier account, just 0.8%. Please be advised that this account package requires a minimum deposit of AU$ 50,000, and is available only with the ASIC regulated entity.

We consider the FP Markets Raw account trading commissions to be slightly below par when compared with other top brokers – who charge on average 7 USD per round lot.

Rollover rates

FP Markets swap rates, as of 01-10-2021, and for the EUR/USD, stand at -4.07 for holding overnight a long position of 1 lot and at +0.39 for holding overnight a short position of 1 lot. We consider FP Markets rollover rates to be average when compared with the swap rates offered by other top brokers.

FP Markets Deposits / Withdrawals

Deposit fees: Trading accounts can be opened in 10 different currencies and maintained via a multitude of funding methods – depending on the contracting entity. Including the traditional methods, cards and bank wires, FP Markets also accepts deposits with the most popular e-payment solutions (subject to jurisdiction), such as Neteller, China UnionPay, Fasapay, PayPal and Skrill.

And, exclusive to the FP Markets LLC entity in St. Vincent & The Grenadines, investors can fund the account with several cryptocurrencies, from BTC to USDT, via Finrax payments.

The minimum withdrawal amount allowed by FP Markets is 5 USD. For more information, please visit the FP Markets withdrawals dedicated page.

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

FP Markets Popularity

FP Markets is not one of the most popular brokers, but, with its competitive pricing and good trading conditions, has some potential to be a reference in the industry.

FP Markets should be considered a valid option for traders looking for an alternative broker with an excellent range of financial instruments, and our recommendation, for traders looking to bet on the price of cryptocurrencies, as FP Markets crypto-trading spreads are some of the most competitive we have found.

The broker offers raw forex pricing on its MT4 platform, and deep liquidity from a large pool of leading, tier-1, regulated financial institutions for a diverse liquidity mix and aggressive pricing. FP markets also boast award-winning low latency trade execution times, delivered from its Equinix NY4 facility server cluster.

FP Markets FAQs

Who is First Prudential Markets?

First Prudential Markets Pty Ltd is a derivatives and forex trading services provider, registered in Australia with ABN 16 112 600 281, and regulated by Australia’s ASIC with an AFS Licence, number 286354.

First Prudential Markets Pty Ltd operates in the online retail trading industry through its FP Markets brand. The FP Markets brand is shared also by the two other Group entities, First Prudential Markets Ltd and FP Markets LLC.

First Prudential Markets Ltd is a financial services provider company registered in Cyprus, on 19/11/2018, with company number 372179. The company is supervised and regulated by the Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission, and holds a licence, number 371/18, on the category of Investment Services, allowing the company to receive and transmit orders in relation to one or more financial instruments, execution of orders on behalf of clients and to offer foreign exchange services where these are connected to the provision of investment services. The CySEC licence also allows First Prudential Markets Ltd to offer its financial services across the border to 27 EU member states.

First Prudential Markets LLC (FP Markets LLC) is a financial services provider company, registered as a Limited Liability Company, with number 126 LLC 2019, in Saint Vincent & The Grenadines.

All the 3 entities above compose the FP Markets Group of companies. As a regulated retail CFDs trading broker, FP Markets does not accept applications from U.S, Japan or New Zealand residents, or residents from any other country, or jurisdiction, where such distribution or use would be contrary to those local laws or regulations.

Is FP Markets an ECN broker?

FP Markets is a broker offering ECN pricing and an ECN trading environment. Any of the FP Markets trading platforms report the prices (Ask & Bid) received directly from its execution venues and liquidity providers.

To maintain a seamless trading experience, and offer the best execution prices, FP Markets connects to what is known as the Electronic Communication Network (ECN). This technology allows for executable price streaming, virtual order creation and aggregation of different liquidity providers.

By connecting to different liquidity providers, through the ECN network, FP Markets can offer extremely competitive spreads, ultra-low latency execution and minimal slippage. ECN prices allow for matching of trading orders and execution with the prices FP Markets deems best. This is particularly useful for forex traders who use trading strategies such as scalping with Expert Advisors (EA), as this results in faster execution.

FP Markets ECN prices refer to the way the price was derived and guarantees market competitiveness. This is different from cases of offsetting orders placed with liquidity providers, offsetting with orders from other clients/market participants, or trades held internally by FP Markets.

Irrespective of FP Markets' hedging strategy, the ECN pricing model aims to ensure execution quality at best, lower market prices. FP Markets considers price and costs as the most important execution factors, followed by speed, the likelihood of execution and settlement, size and nature, and market impact.

Please be advised that slippage is a normal element when trading CFDs on an ECN network. Slippage more often occurs during periods of illiquidity or higher volatility – for example, due to news announcements, economic events and market openings and other factors, making an order at a specific price impossible to execute. In other words, your orders may not be executed at declared prices.

What are FP Markets maximum leverage ratios?

FP Markets maximum leverage ratios, for forex trading, varies from 30:1 to 500:1, depending on the contracted entity and client classification.

For a complete overview of FP Markets maximum leverage ratios, per asset class, client classification and contracted Group entity, please refer to the table below:

What is FP Markets minimum deposit?

FP Markets minimum initial deposit for the Standard and Raw accounts is AU$ 100 (one hundred Australian Dollars). The FP Markets minimum initial deposit for the IRESS Shares account is AU$ 1,000 (one thousand Australian Dollars). Please note that if the deposit currency is not in Australian dollars, then the indicative deposit amount should be converted to the deposit currencies.

The broker accepts deposits by multiple credit cards, multiple electronic payment methods, bank wire transfer, local bank transfer, and other e-payment methods in AUD, USD, EUR, GBP, SGD, HKD, JPY, NZD, CHF or CAD (subject to the contracting entity and account type). Saint Vincent & The Grenadines entity, FP Markets LLC, accepts also account funding with multiple cryptocurrencies, processed by Finrax payments; USDT, BTC, BCH, ETH, LTC, XRP, BAT, BNT, CVC, ENJ, FUN, LINK, MITH, MTL, OMG, REP and XLM.

FP Markets does not charge any deposit fees and will cover internal bank fees for all international deposits. If FP Markets receives a receipt showing the original deposit fee amount is no more than 50 USD, the company will cover clients international bank fees (charged by the client’s bank) for deposits over 10,000 USD. Regarding funding with cryptocurrencies, blockchain fees apply.

Deposits are almost instant, except for bank wire transfers, subject to banking schedule.

What is FP Markets withdrawal policy?

FP Markets withdrawal policy is to return the client’s funds to the origin of these funds, and as such, the withdrawal will be returned to the source of the funds' deposit.

This withdrawal policy is to protect all parties against fraud, and also in compliance with the applicable laws and regulations for the prevention and suppression of money laundering.

For the first withdrawal, the amount will need to be the same as the initial deposit, and withdrawn via the same deposit method. Once deposits have been withdrawn suing the original deposit methods, users can then use an alternative method to withdraw profits.

If a trader used several deposit methods, then the withdrawal amount must be the same and withdrawn back to each deposit method used, starting with any card deposits.

Once card deposits have been withdrawn back to the same credit/debit card, traders can then make the remaining withdrawals in the order that the initial deposits were made. After that, traders can then choose any of the previously used funding methods to withdraw profits, subject to the approval of the accounts team.

Funds can be withdrawn using a wide range of funding methods including credit cards, debit cards, e-payment wallets (including Neteller, PayPal and Skrill – subject to jurisdiction), online banking and bank wire transfer.

FP Markets does not charge any additional internal fees for withdrawals, however, please note, that payments to and from overseas banking institutions may be subject to intermediary transfer fees from either party, which are independent of FP Markets.

FP Markets accepts no responsibility for any bank fee and any such fees will be the responsibility of the client. The broker only passes the fees applied by e-payment wallet providers for the electronic withdrawals made from the user’s trading account. The only withdrawal charge applied directly by FP Markets is a 10 AUD fee for international bank wire withdrawals.

For more information on FP Markets withdrawal policy, please visit the FP Markets LLC fast & easy withdrawals web page.

Does FP Markets offer a bonus?

No, currently FP Markets does not offer a bonus. Out of the 3 regulated entities of the Group, two can never offer, or advertise, any type of bonus or promotions; First Prudential Markets Ltd, regulated by the Cyprus CySEC and First Prudential Markets PTY Ltd, regulated by Australia’s ASIC.

The reason is quite simple. On the last product intervention by the ESMA in Europe and the ASIC in Australia, for retail CFDs trading, it was established that brokers regulated in Europe and Australia are forbidden to offer promotions and bonuses to attract traders.

Thus, the only Group company that could offer a bonus is the FP Markets LLC entity, registered in Saint Vincent & The Grenadines. Although there isn’t currently any FP Markets bonus, the broker is running two very convenient promotions; Zero fees on deposits & withdrawals and free VPS service.

The zero fees on deposits & withdrawals promotions don’t need much explanation. Regarding the free VPS service promotion, if a user trades over 10 lots on a Standard trading account or 20 lots on a Raw trading account, FP Markets will cover the monthly subscription fee with its dedicated forex VPS provider.

For more info regarding the free VPS service promotion, please visit the FP Markets free VPS service web page. The free FP Markets VPS service is available for users registering a live account with any of the Group’s entities – FP Markets LLC, First Prudential Markets PTY Ltd and First Prudential Markets Ltd.

FP Markets review - final considerations.

We conclude our FP Markets review with the final considerations regarding this CFD broker. FP Markets stands out for its great range of available financial instruments and it is a serious contender for investors looking for a CFDs broker to speculate on the price of shares.

FP Markets also stands out for the competitive pricing of its Raw account, with starting spreads of 0.0 pip on some major FX pairs, with an average trading commission of 6 USD per round lot (100,000 currency units), and for the fast order execution speeds. The broker is also competitively positioned as an alternative for cryptocurrencies trading, namely BTC/USD, with below-average spreads (min 2.02 – avg. 7.66) and zero commissions added.

Also positively, FP Markets offers retail investors the possibility to trade with two highly-regulated entities, one in Europe and one in Australia, where retail client money safety and retail client protection are very important – and these are also the entities that we recommend to traders.

With an FP Markets account, traders are allowed to hedge, scalp, swing or position trade, with no restrictions, via 2 reliable trading platforms; MT4 and MT5, available for Windows, macOS, Android and iOS, and via the IRESS platform.

Overall, the broker's competitive pricing for FX and cryptos, the safety of retail client’s funds, together with an excellent range of financial instruments and a low initial deposit of 100 AUD, or equivalent in other base currencies, position this CFD broker on the top 10 brokers for popularity with traders opening a trading account in 2023.
