Available Markets

FXCC and Exness are competitive Forex brokers at their core, where the former lists 70+ currency pairs versus 100+ at the latter, one of the widest selections in the industry. Both offer rudimentary cross-asset diversification, but Exness covers liquid equity CFDs, unavailable at FXCC. The cryptocurrency coverage at Exness is also notably broader than at FXCC.

Typical Spreads and Fees

The pricing environment at both brokers is competitive, but FXCC maintains an edge. Average costs for major currency pairs are $5.00 per lot at FXCC and $7.00 at IC Markets. FXCC grants access to raw spreads in a commission-free cost structure resulting in a notable pricing advantage.
