Broker review

FXOpen Broker Review

FXOpen is an experienced broker with the advantages of ECN accounts, swap-free, various trading contests, and liquidity transparency. This broker is also one of the pioneers in crypto CFD trading.

Updated January 1, 1990 Written by adminprog Viewed 230 kali

Initially, FXOpen was founded as an educational center for technical analysis of financial markets in 2003. Its futures brokerage service was only launched in 2005 but immediately became a preferred choice for traders because it offers forex and CFD trading services with low capital, transparent trading conditions, and superior customer support.

FXOpen is under the umbrella of the company FXOpen Markets Limited. This broker has been registered in Nevis with license number C 42235. Apart from that, FXOpen also has licenses from several other regulators.

The most interesting thing about FXOpen is the ECN account it offers. Traders who have ECN accounts will get price quotes directly from liquidity providers. Because of this facility, the FXOpen ECN account is a favorite among traders.

Thanks to its achievements, FXOpen has succeeded in winning various global awards. This broker has received a good response because it offers a trading platform system that is different from brokers that were popular in the early 2005 era. At that time, FXOpen appeared with the MetaTrader platform, as well as various free bonus and education programs which were very effective in attracting the attention of retail traders.

In 2006, FXOpen was the first broker to offer micro accounts and swap-free accounts. After that, he continued to pioneer a number of new and high-tech services, including the first Crypto account that could facilitate trading on 24 Cryptocurrency pairs, including Bitcoin, Litecoin, and Ethereum.

FXOpen Advantages

  • ECN account from FXOpen broker Gets Direct Price Quotes From Featured Companies
    Traders who join an ECN account from FXOpen will get direct price quotes from superior liquidity providers. These include Dresdner, SG Paris, Standard Chartered, Barclays Capital, Bank of America, CRNX, JP Morgan, Morgan Stanley, Deutsche Bank AG, RBS, CITI, and UBS. This is one of the reasons why FXOpen's ECN account is among traders' favorites.

  • Mirror Trading Facility
    Traders at the FXOpen broker can carry out Mirror Trading by connecting their account directly to the Myfxbook AutoTrade network, or carry out Copy Trading via ZuluTrade. These two services allow anyone to copy the transactions of more experienced traders, making it possible to replicate their trading results.

  • Deposit Withdrawal activities are relatively smooth without major complaints.
    Based on experience and information after more than 10 years of operation by FXOpen, there have been no major complaints regarding payments (deposits or withdrawals). However, there are minor complaints such as slow servers, requotes, lag, and the like.

  • Registration at FXOpen is Easy.
    The registration system at FXOpen is easy. Namely, simply fill out the form in the Register menu on the FXOpen website. However, as usual, you will be asked to verify documents first if you are going to make a deposit payment or withdraw funds.
  • FXOpen is a broker that originates from an educational center, so the features offered really meet traders' needs. For traders who want to experience trading on an ECN account, FXOpen provides it with a minimum deposit of only 100 USD. Liquidity providers in FXOpen ECN accounts are elite banks such as JP Morgan, Deutsche Bank AG, Barclays, and the like, making this more than 10-year-old broker a reference for traders.

  • In terms of customer service, FXOpen has a Customer Service team that is very responsive and alert in answering client questions. The promotions provided are not too excessive, including cashback and free VPS for traders who meet the minimum balance value. This multi-regulated broker is also a pioneer in terms of micro and Swap-Free accounts, making it very suitable for traders who want to trade according to Sharia.

  • The deposit and withdrawal process at FXOpen is relatively standard, but you need to pay attention to complaints about slow trading execution and requotes. It is recommended to try a demo account first and pay attention to the trading execution speed.

I recommend trading at FXOpen because this broker's offers are much more attractive than local brokers. The minimum deposit is only USD 10, the spread is below 1 pip, and the leverage is more than 1:100, it's really great for forex trading. You don't need a large capital to start enjoying profits trading at FXOpen.

Of course, bro, local brokers usually still have commissions/lot every time you open a position, not to mention the spreads are also wide. If you look at foreign brokers, they are usually better, but we also need to be careful in choosing foreign brokers that are not regulated by Bappebti. In my opinion, FXopen so far is still fine, it's really good for beginner and veteran traders looking for super low trading costs.

Highly recommended. Just at fxopen my robot works exactly the same as in the demo, both in timing and price points, so I can profit from my account.
I tested STP with a balance of $40 in 2 months and it became $113, and the WD took only 2 hours to land in Fasapay. Meanwhile, the capital with the robot on Insta got stuck in floating and only increased to $76. This means FXOPEN does not limit the robot's movements at all, while others requote.

I want to open and add to the ECN account, what is the difference with STP?

Hello Mr. Hermannfx,
According to the information on the official FXOpen website, the minimum deposit for an ECN account is 100 USD, with floating spreads starting from 0 pips, and a commission of 1.5 USD per standard lot. Meanwhile, the minimum deposit for an STP account is 10 USD, with floating spreads depending on the available buy/sell orders, and no commission. If you have any questions, it's best to go directly to the testimonial page so that it can be answered by a representative from FXOpen.

Oh, FXOpen also provides cryptocurrency trading, right? Do we trade in a format like forex in general or CFD? Because I'm interested in learning about cryptocurrency, usually the movements are quite volatile so you can make a lot of profit. That's what my friend said.

I apologize, there was a typo in the review above. What I meant to say is "trading features." Why are FXOpen's trading features worth trying for autotrading enthusiasts? This is related to access to the autotrade platforms Myfxbook and ZuluTrade that are available at FXOpen.

In FX, the ECN account is relatively cheap with a commission of 1.5 units of base currency/lot.  Recommended for scalpers or robo traders. You can give it a try.

if the commission is indeed cheap, but after I examined it, the spread uses "raw spread", now the question is, is the floating raw spread of ECN fxOpen really fair and in line with the interbank market spread?

What does it mean for a mid-tier broker to recommend a deposit of around USD 5k-10k? How does it impact our trading account? What are the effects if I deposit less than or more than the recommended amount?
10 Tahun lalu
RA

Robby Addya

well, actually the impact is greater on yourself. With a deposit amount smaller than the recommendation, of course, the opportunity to trade cannot be as much as you hope, because the capital endurance is also small.

On the other hand, if the deposit is too large, the trading risk will also increase, because usually traders will become greedy and trade with large lots and almost without loss control. That's the problem. So as much as possible, the deposit amount should be managed with money management.

The account types at FXOpen are only standard and micro, there isn't a cent account yet, right? I usually do swing trading with a lot of 0.01, that's why I really need the cent account. Will FXOpen provide a cent account in the future?

FXOpen until now has not provided a cent account, but FXOpen offers a Cryptocurrency account with a minimum lot as small as 0.01. The cryptocurrency account is exclusive for trading with e-currency such as BTCUSD.

Fahri

@Sammy:
If the lot is only 0.01, it should be possible on a micro account. Besides that, the trading lot on FXOpen's micro account is not the same as the trading volume range of brokers in general. They use their own standard with microlots, so the minimum trading size can be lower than 1,000 units.

A cent account also provides trading capacity as low as 0.01, but this account is usually sought after because its real value is lower than a regular micro lot.

From the information available on the FXopen homepage, they claim that their accounts adopt an ECN/STP system, allowing you to enjoy the best quotes on the bid/ask side, so the spreads are usually relatively small.

oh I just found out that this broker was the first to launch micro accounts. By the way, is the quality of the micro account at FXopen good? I usually trade on micro accounts with other brokers, and sometimes I still feel unsatisfied because I often experience slippage when trading NFP.

Not to mention the spreads, which also often widen when I want to open a position again, it's just not pleasant at all.

it's relatively good in my opinion, but I would rather just open an STP account, the minimum deposit is only USD 10.

I used to use a micro account with FXopen and never experienced requote, but the problem is I'm not satisfied with the spread. The spread is smaller in STP or ECN accounts.

I want to open an ECN account at FXopen, sir. How much recommended capital do you think I need to be able to profit? I mean not the minimum deposit, but the amount of capital so I can hold positions until I make a profit in the ECN account, like that, sir. Thank you.

Sidik

Have you had trading experience, Sir? If you're not yet skilled, it's recommended to deposit first with the minimum deposit in the ECN fxopen account, and also trade using the smallest Lot possible, below 1, Sir.

But if you already have experience, you should know by now how much capital to deposit. Especially if it's to hold positions for a long time, in my opinion, that would require thousands of US dollars.

It turns out that many Indonesian traders choose to trade at FXopen. I just found out after meeting with a trading community, and indeed many of them are experienced traders at this broker.

They choose to trade at FXopen because of price transparency (fair price, no requote) and tight spreads on major pairs. Plus, the account types are also complete, from micro to ECN.

There are indeed many traders from FXopen in Indonesia, if you want we can exchange contacts, like WA or something. Trading at FXopen is really nice. For those who want to try creating a real account, you can use the welcome bonus or no-deposit bonus, so we are given trading capital.

If you find it suitable, feel free to deposit more.

In my opinion, many traders open a micro account with FXOpen to trade in gold pairs, Sir, if the trading skills are good, they can make a lot of profit, especially if they are good at scalping during NFP, the profits are great.

As for me, I prefer to trade manually first, using trading robots can be a bit complicated if you're not used to it, and if you choose the wrong robot, it could lead to a big drawdown, that's dangerous, Sir.

for the time being, the variety of CFD trading assets at FXOpen is still limited to:

  • metal: gold and silver

Ardi M. S.

try CFD trading indices SPX 500, I usually open CFD positions in SPX500 to hedge positions when playing forex too. From my experience, when the US dollar rises, SPX 500 usually falls, and when the dollar falls, SPX usually rises.

So if you are buying dollars, for example, going long on USDJPY, just set a short position in SPX500 for hedging. If you lose on USDJPY, you can still cover the gain in CFD SPX500, that's how it is.
