Our notes

Strengths
  • Low published minimum deposit of $10 on both MT4 accounts
  • The terms say negative balances are reset to zero once an account has no open positions
  • Margin call (100%) and stop-out (20%) levels are published
  • Swap-free status is available on all accounts, plus copy trading and a free VPS for automated trading
  • 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
  • Investizo does not claim a licence from any financial regulator. Its company is registered in St Vincent and the Grenadines, which is a company registration, not a licence. Its own roadmap says it plans to apply for an FSC Mauritius licence in late 2027
  • The Securities Commission Malaysia added Investizo to its Investor Alert List of unauthorised entities on 20 December 2024.
  • Leverage up to 1:1000, or 1:2000 on forex with a promo code, and the terms let the company change your leverage at any time without prior notice
  • The fee pages disagree: the terms say no withdrawal fees, but the payments page lists 5.5% + $4 on card withdrawals. Typical spreads and the ECN commission per lot are not fully published
  • 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:

  • Investizo: CFDs are complex financial products traded on margin. Trading CFDs is risky and may not be suitable for all investors. Ensure you understand the risks involved as you may lose all your invested capital.
  • 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.

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.
