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 Marketsx there is a difference between the trading conditions of the Metatrader 4/5 and the Marketsx Webtrader. In addition, Marketsx requires a minimum distance from the current market price to fill stop orders (such as stop-loss). Personally, we found the split between Markets.com to Marketsi and Marketsx a little confusing, but that has nothing to do with the trading conditions. US traders are not able to trade with Markets.com.

Gold Spreads
MarketsX 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.
Markets.com has some advantages and, like any broker, its weaknesses. Currently the trading conditions at Marketsx are favourable and the spreads are mostly below average. The spread of the DAX is up to 0.8 points. Marketsx 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 Marketsx multi-asset platform which comes complete with integrated in-platform tools for trading the financial markets. The Marketsx platform is browser based so it does not require a download and traders on-the-go can download the Marketsx for mobile trading app.
Trading instruments and trading conditions are dependent upon the platform. The Marketsx platform does offer a significantly higher number of trading instruments than MT4 and MT5, details of which are available on the Markets.com website.
Investors with Marketsi can only use the dedicated Marketsi platform.
Markets.com offer a real and a demo account both for trading Forex and CFDs with Marketsx and investing in shares with Marketsi.
The demo account comes with $10,000 in virtual funds. For a real account, traders must deposit a minimum of €/£/$ 100 before they can begin trading. Additional accounts include a professional account, a joint account and a corporate account which are all subject to eligibility.
We have to admit that we haven’t had Marketsi experience ourselves as this offer is relatively new, but the fees seem to be reasonable. So if you are looking for a trading broker and at the same time want to have an account ready to invest, Marketsx + Marketsi would be a good solution.
Marketsx offers CFD and Forex trading services. In the course of the rebranding, the trading conditions have been slightly adjusted. The spreads were lowered in comparison to the old Markets.com conditions.
Markets.com offers several deposit and withdrawal options. Markets.com does not charge any deposit fees and will cover any fees from payment service providers for deposits over €2,500.
The following payment options are available:

Our Markets.com experience is overall quite positive, especially for trading beginners.

By regulation, every new client must go through some basic compliance checks to ensure that you understand the risks of trading and are admitted to trading. When you open an account, you will probably be asked for the following items, so it is good to have them handy: A scanned colour copy of your passport or national ID A utility bill or bank statement from the last six months with your address You will also need to answer a few basic compliance questions to confirm how much trading experience you have. It is therefore best to take at least 10 minutes to complete the account opening process. Although you can explore the demo account immediately, it is important to note that you cannot make any real trading transactions until you have passed compliance, which can take up to several days depending on your situation. For the full terms and conditions, please see the Markets.com website.

There is always a relationship between high returns and high risks. Any type of market or trading speculation that could generate unusually high returns is also exposed to high risk. Only excess funds should be exposed to the risk of trading, and anyone who does not have such funds should not participate in trading leveraged products, futures, CFDs and forex products or the like. Trading foreign exchange and futures or CFDs on margin is associated with an enormous risk of loss and therefore not suitable for every investor! TRADE-REX assumes no responsibility for any losses or profits. CFDs are complex instruments and come with a high risk of losing money rapidly due to leverage. Between 65-90% of retail investor accounts lose money when trading CFDs. You should consider whether you understand how CFDs work and whether you can afford to take the high risk of losing your money.
