Our notes
Strengths
- UK company authorised by the FCA and EU company licensed by CySEC, both strict regulators
- Client money held in segregated accounts, with negative balance protection for all clients
- Raw+ account costs about $9.60 per lot on EUR/USD, against about $14.90 on Standard
- Licensed by the FCA, CySEC and ASIC, with client money in segregated accounts
- Publishes target (typical) spreads for the Standard account, such as 1.1 pips on EUR/USD
- No deposit or withdrawal fees on the international site's funding methods
Watch out for
- Clients outside the UK and EU usually join the Bahamas company, with lighter rules and no FSCS or ICF cover
- Leverage at the Bahamas company is dynamic with no fixed cap on major pairs, which magnifies losses
- Live accounts are disabled after 3 months of inactivity
- International clients join TF Global Markets Int Limited in the Seychelles (offshore tier), where leverage goes up to 2500:1 on ThinkTrader and losses can exceed deposits
- ThinkMarkets also says it is licensed by CIMA, an FSC, an FMA and (on its South African company) FSCA FSP 49835, without naming every company; we could not confirm these on 2026-10-20. Its FSCA OTC derivative provider approval is confirmed.
- The ThinkZero minimum deposit is shown as $100 on the account types page and $500 on the ThinkZero page; ask before you fund.

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:
- FxPro: CFDs are complex instruments and come with a high risk of losing money rapidly due to leverage. Please ensure you fully understand how CFDs work and whether you can afford to take the high risk of losing your money.
- ThinkMarkets: Derivative products are leveraged products and can result in losses that exceed initial deposits. Please ensure you fully understand the risks and take care to manage your exposure and seek independent advice if necessary.

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.
