Overview

Is FXTM a Good Broker?

FXTM was founded in 2011 and has grown particularly strongly in African markets, backed by CMA Kenya regulation and FSCA South Africa licences alongside its European FCA and CySEC coverage. The ECN Zero account delivers 0.0 pip spreads with a low $2.00/lot commission — more competitive than several larger competitors.

FXTM Invest (copy trading) allows clients to follow Master Traders and earn a performance fee split when providing signals. African payment methods including mobile money in Nigeria and Kenya are well-integrated. The $10 minimum deposit makes it extremely accessible. High leverage (up to 1:2000 outside EU/UK) is available but should be used with extreme caution.
