Noteworthy:

Traders must deposit $500 at FXTM for ultra-competitive trading costs. OctaFX maintains a status program, rewarding high-volume traders with lucrative giveaways, and both have high-paying partnership programs.

Available Markets

The asset selection at FXTM exceeds 1,000 trading instruments, focused on Forex and equities. While it excludes cryptocurrencies, equity traders get CFDs, direct share investments, and in-house constructed thematic stock baskets for long-term investors. OctaFX focuses on highly liquid assets, including 30+ cryptocurrency pairs, but maintains a limited overall choice of trading instruments.

Typical Spreads and Fees

FXTM fees rank among the cheapest industry-wide, especially in its FXTM Advantage account, where traders get raw spread from 0.0 pips for commissions between $0.80 and $4.00 per 1.0 standard lot. OctaFX fees feature commission-free trading with minimum costs of 0.6 pips or $6.00 per lot, plus a volume-based rebate program.

Account Types

Minimum Deposit

The FXTM minimum deposit for the Micro account is $10. Traders should consider the $500 for FXTM Advantage, as its trading costs are ultra-cheap. Other brokers require minimum deposits above $20,000 for equal trading costs. The OctaFX minimum deposit requirement is $25, but OctaFX recommends $100. Each trader has different capital requirements, but effective trading requires more capital than the minimum deposit.
