AMarkets vs OneRoyal

AMarkets has no licence we could confirm on a regulator's register. OneRoyal is licensed by CySEC in the European Union and ASIC in Australia, and also has an offshore registration. The licence that applies to you depends on where you live, so check which company you would contract with before comparing anything else.

Minimum deposits start at $100 at AMarkets and $5 at OneRoyal. Both offer negative balance protection. Only OneRoyal offers segregated client money.

Watch out for

Risk warnings

The buttons to a broker’s website above the table are partner links: we may earn a commission if you open an account through them. That never changes the facts shown here. Trading leveraged products such as forex and CFDs carries a high risk of losing money rapidly, and most retail accounts lose money. Each broker’s own warning:

  • OneRoyal: Online trading in leveraged Foreign Exchange and CFD instruments carries a high level of risk and may not be suitable for all investors. Leveraged trading can result in significant losses as well as potential profits. Before deciding to invest in margin instruments, carefully consider your investment objectives, level of experience, and risk appetite. You should not risk more than you can afford to lose. Always ensure you understand the risks involved and seek independent financial advice if necessary.

Other head-to-head pages

Cost per lot is the typical EUR/USD spread in busy hours × $10, plus any round-turn commission, for one standard lot. “Not yet checked” means we have not confirmed that fact yet. This page compares facts; it does not rank the brokers or recommend either. Confirm costs and licences on each broker’s site and the regulator’s public register before opening an account: see how we review brokers and check a broker yourself.
