NSFX is a Maltese based investment provider that services the English, French, German, Italian and Arabic markets. NSFX is regulated in Malta by the Malta Financial Services Authority, MFSA, as well as MiFID, FSA, BaFin, and other local licensing authorities.

With NSFX traders can trade commodities including Gold, Silver and crude oil, Forex, Indices and CFDs.

NSFX is one of the nicest brokers I have reviewed in a long while with all its features displayed and easily accessed. The website if full of interesting items that seem to pop up from nowhere.

Accounts

NSFX offers three trading accounts and a clear comparison table to supplied with a click on the account tab. $300 will open a Standard MT4 account, the minimum trade is 0.01 lots and leverage is offered at 1:200. The Professional ECN account requires an initial deposit of $3000, the minimum trade is 0.10 and maximum leverage is 1:100. $50,000 will open the VIP account which either fixed or variable spreads.

All three accounts provide access to more than 50 currency pairs, commodities and indices and trades can be made on mobile devices. A host of other benefits are offered for each trading account.

It was nice to see that a practice account was offered with a generous $100,000 in funds which can be used with any of the available platforms.

Education

At the NSFX Academy traders can benefit from a host of different offerings.

The NSFX Forex Course was designed as a stand-alone offering to cater to the needs of clients taking their first steps in the world of forex trading.

The video course starts with the basic explanations of terms and takes the student to a clear understanding of advanced trading strategies and market analysis. At the conclusion of each segment a short test is given to ensure that the trader has absorbed the valuable information before moving on to the next stage. Registration by all account holders is free and traders can, of course, move along at their own pace.

All account holders can register for 1-on-1 training with a personal trading consultant. Textual guides on basic Forex trading are available and the NSFX ebook can be downloaded and used by traders with all levels of trading experience.

Free webinars are sometimes offered but at the time of this review there were none scheduled.

The listing of live Forex quotes also appears daily and their economic calendar is an interactive overview of the most important economic events of the day and the week.

There is a daily market analysis and up to the minute news feeds.

Strangely, their Global Trading Holiday Calendar was for the year 2014.

Bonuses/Promotions

At the time of this review there were several bonuses and promotions being offered. Anyone opening a trading account and depositing over $5000 gets the new iPad with a sophisticated trading platform.

There was also a competition for using their demo account where up to $5,000 in prizes was being awarded.

In addition, a 15% deposit bonus was being offered for anyone opening a new trading account.

    Conclusion

    Beyond offering high end technological solutions, NSFX is committed to providing the most professional and transparent trading environment possible. It offers innovative trading platforms, a host of trading tools and excellent trading conditions.

    Features

    There aren’t many features that are not offered at MSFX. There are choices of account types, various trading tools and several different trading platforms. The introduction of the Fun Corner is an added plus and indicates the broker team’s sense of humor and their less serious side to trading. I was surprised to find that there was no stock trading which has become a rather expected asset by Forex traders but was pleased to see there was a practice account offered.
