FP Markets versus XTB

The twelve plugins for MT4/MT5 plus Autochartist at FP Markets combine for a competitive MT4/MT5 environment. The geographically restricted Iress platform provides a innovative alternative for manual traders. High leverage, deep liquidity, and fast order execution ensure algorithmic traders have an edge. Asset managers get the MAM/PAMM module, and FP Markets maintains a proprietary social trading platform and Myfxbook Autotrade for copy traders.

Manual traders at XTB get a quality proprietary trading platform, also available as a mobile app. It features sentiment analysis, market commentary, and simplified trade and risk management, but the absence of algorithmic trading support at XTB remains a notable oversight.

We have conducted an in-depth review of FP Markets and XTB to determine which presents the better overall choice and which traders will benefit the most at either broker.

Available Markets

FP Markets provides Iress traders with 10,000+ assets, MT5 traders with 1,000+, and MT4 with just above 100. XTB lists 2,100+ trading instruments, but FP Markets maintains a broader choice of currency pairs for Forex traders. The cryptocurrency selection at both brokers remains below average, and FP Markets takes the overall lead in choice of assets.

Typical Spreads and Fees

While both brokers maintain competitive costs, XTB features lower overall fees plus a rebate program rewarding high-volume traders. The minimum EUR/USD cost per 1.0 lot at FP Markets is $6.00 versus $1.00 at XTB, which also eliminated commissions for equity CFD traders, adding to its pricing advantage.
