FP Markets logo

Rank #1

FP Markets

Rating

8.8 / 10

Best for
Shares and FX in one place
Why it ranks here
FP Markets pairs raw-spread FX pricing with direct-market-access share dealing, so cost-sensitive traders and multi-asset investors can work from one account group. Five platform choices, ASIC oversight and a $100 entry point make it our strongest all-round pick this quarter.

IC Markets logo

Rank #2

IC Markets

Rating

9.4 / 10

Best for
Raw-spread trading
Why it ranks here
IC Markets is built around cheap execution rather than hand-holding. If you already know how you want to trade and value platform choice, the Raw Spread tier is one of the more compelling cost structures available. Read the entity disclosure carefully: the leverage headline you see may come from the offshore arm rather than the ASIC-regulated one.

XM Group logo

Rank #3

XM Group

Rating

8.6 / 10

Best for
New traders
Why it ranks here
XM is a sensible starting point rather than a cost leader. The tiny minimum deposit, deep education library and responsive support suit traders still finding their footing; once volume grows, the Standard account's spread-only pricing starts to look expensive next to raw-spread rivals.

eToro logo

Rank #4

eToro

Rating

8.4 / 10

Best for
Copy trading
Why it ranks here
eToro trades execution cost for accessibility. The social layer and multi-asset account are genuinely useful if you want to follow others or hold equities alongside FX, but active intraday traders will feel the spread and miss MetaTrader.

XTB logo

Rank #5

XTB

Rating

8.8 / 10

Best for
Traders who prefer a single proprietary platform
Why it ranks here
XTB is a listed international broker running its own xStation platform, with a research and education layer that suits traders who prefer one integrated interface.

Why it ranks here
