Deposit Insurance

TradersTrust provides a deposit compensation scheme for its CySEC-regulated entity in Cyprus, ensuring that investors are compensated if the financial firm fails.

However, the entities in Seychelles and Bermuda do not offer such compensation schemes. This feature provides an additional layer of security for clients under the CySEC regulation, enhancing the overall trust in the broker's safety measures.

Spreads and Costs

TradersTrust offers competitive spreads and costs, particularly in the forex asset class, where its average spreads are relatively low. However, its crypto spreads are higher compared to market leaders like IC Markets and Tickmill.

Overall, the broker provides an attractive pricing structure, especially for forex traders.

Combined Spread/Commission Costs by Asset Class Compared to Market Leading Brokers

Crypto averages comprise (BTCUSD, ETHUSD), forex averages comprise (EURUSD, USDJPY, GBPJPY, EURGBP, AUDNZD, CADCHF), indices averages comprise (US30, AUS200), and commodities average comprises (XAUUSD, XAGUSD) and that data is sampled every 10 seconds for 24 hours to calculate the average. Forex is stated in pips, and the others are stated in base currency. All spreads including both spread and commission calculated in.

A spread is the difference between the bid (sell) and ask (buy) price of an asset and can vary widely between brokers and account types.

Some brokers charge higher spreads but no commission, while others charge both, making it crucial to assess the total cost, which includes both spread and commission. Our values reflect this all-in cost. Note that some brokers may set low costs on popular pairs like EURUSD but higher rates on other instruments.

Many brokers also advertise "as low as" spreads that may not reflect the true average or include commissions. Comparing true all-in cost averages across various instruments and asset classes is vital for accurate assessment.

Swap Rates/Financing Fees

Swap rates, or financing fees, are the costs or earnings associated with holding a position overnight. Positive swap rates result in payouts to traders, while negative swap rates incur costs.

TradersTrust does not provide explicit swap rate information, which can be a drawback for traders who hold positions overnight. Comparing average swap rates among leading brokers, we see that some brokers offer better terms than others.

Does TradersTrust Offer Islamic/Swap-free Accounts?

Islamic accounts, also known as swap-free accounts, are designed for traders who cannot receive or pay interest due to religious beliefs. TradersTrust offers swap-free accounts that comply with Islamic principles.

These accounts do not incur overnight swap or rollover interest on positions, making them suitable for Muslim traders. Requirements for opening an Islamic account typically include proving one's faith and agreeing to specific terms and conditions set by the broker.

Other Fees

Besides spreads, commissions, and swap rates, TradersTrust may charge other fees. Based on our research from various sources, here are some additional fees:

It's essential to review the broker's terms and conditions to understand all potential fees associated with your trading account.

Comparison to other Brokers

When comparing TradersTrust to other leading brokers, it stands out in several areas. Its regulatory compliance with CySEC provides a level of security, although it lacks deposit compensation for its Seychelles and Bermuda entities.

The broker's user ratings and organic traffic suggest a positive reputation among traders. However, its spreads, especially in the crypto asset class, are higher than those of some market leaders like IC Markets and Tickmill.

TradersTrust offers a variety of trading platforms, including MetaTrader 4 and cTrader, which are favored for their robust features and user-friendly interfaces.

The broker's high leverage options, particularly the 3000:1 leverage for its Seychelles and Bermuda entities, cater to high-risk traders, although such high leverage comes with significant risks.

Trading Platforms - Mobile, Desktop, Automated

TradersTrust offers two primary trading platforms: MetaTrader 4 (MT4) and cTrader. MT4 is widely recognized for its robust charting tools, a wide range of technical indicators, and support for automated trading through Expert Advisors (EAs) programmed in MQL4.

cTrader, on the other hand, offers a more modern interface and advanced charting capabilities, with automated trading supported through cAlgo, which uses the C# programming language.

Both platforms are available on desktop, mobile, and web, ensuring accessibility for all types of traders.

What Can you Trade?

TradersTrust offers a range of CFD products across various asset classes, including forex, crypto, stocks, stock indices, and commodities. CFDs, or Contracts for Difference, allow traders to speculate on the price movements of these instruments without owning the underlying assets.

This type of trading can be advantageous due to the leverage offered, but it also carries higher risk. For detailed information on the instruments available, visit the broker's website.

Available Leverage

TradersTrust offers varying levels of leverage depending on the regulatory entity and the type of account. Under CySEC regulation, the maximum leverage for retail clients is 30:1, which is standard for EU-regulated brokers.

However, for the Seychelles and Bermuda entities, the broker offers significantly higher leverage of up to 3000:1, appealing to high-risk traders. It's important to understand the risks associated with high leverage, as it can amplify both gains and losses.

Prohibited Countries

TradersTrust cannot open client accounts for residents of certain countries, including the United States, Canada, Japan, North Korea, and Iran. This is due to regulatory restrictions and compliance requirements.

Potential clients should verify their eligibility on the broker's website before attempting to open an account.
