RoboMarkets versus RoboForex

RoboMarkets is the EU subsidiary of leading international multi-asset broker RoboForex. Therefore, both maintain an identical core trading environment. It includes two cutting-edge proprietary trading platforms, where its R StocksTrader fully supports algorithmic trading in a code-free environment. Traders may also rely on MT4/MT5, but RoboForex also offers the cTrader platform.

The similarities between the two brokers extend to low costs and excellent order execution, but traders at RoboForex also benefit from higher leverage and a generous bonus and rewards system. This can result in a significant reduction in trading costs for high-frequency traders.

VPS hosting, available free of charge at RoboForex, is available at both brokers, but RoboForex also presents its proprietary copy trading service.

I have conducted an in-depth review of RoboMarkets and RoboForex to determine which one presents the better overall choice and which traders will benefit the most at either broker.

Noteworthy:

RoboForex trumps RoboMarkets with its industry-leading protection and its unique offer of gold as an account base currency, but RoboMarkets lists 1,000 equity CFDs commission-free.

Available Markets

Both brokers feature an identical asset selection, where equity traders get an outstanding choice of trading instruments above 12,000+, including hundreds of US-listed ETFs. Forex and cryptocurrency traders may be disappointed with the limited asset selection, but the brokers continue to expand in the latter. Overall, the asset selection is excellent and broad-based.

Typical Spreads and Fees

The competitive core trading costs at RoboMarkets and RoboForex, spreads and commissions, are identical, but active, high-volume traders will achieve significant cost advantages at RoboForex due to its generous rebate programs. RoboMarkets, due to regulatory restrictions, can offer these to professional traders only.
