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 $5 at OneRoyal and $0 at XChief (the xPRIME account needs $500). Both offer negative balance protection and segregated client money.

Our notes

Strengths
  • Royal Financial Trading (Cy) Ltd holds CySEC licence 312/16, confirmed on the CySEC register, for EU clients
  • Says client money is held in segregated client accounts, and lists negative balance protection on every account
  • Low entry point ($5) with published commissions on ECN and Prime accounts
  • Publishes a list of clone websites that use its name
  • Four account types, including a cent account with no minimum deposit
  • Negative balance protection and segregated client money are stated in its risk disclosure
  • Leverage is cut automatically as account equity grows, which limits the size of positions on larger accounts
Watch out for
  • International clients of oneroyal.com sign with Royal ETP LLC (St Vincent) or Royal CM Limited (Vanuatu), both offshore; St Vincent registration is not a licence
  • The ASIC licence (AFSL 420268) covers wholesale clients only
  • Leverage up to 1:1000 and deposit bonuses on oneroyal.com
  • Withdrawal fees apply if you have traded less than 2 lots since your last deposit
  • Says xChief Ltd holds Mwali International Services Authority (MISA) licence T2023379; we could not confirm it on MISA's register on 2026-10-20 (the register blocked automated access).
  • Says xChief ZA (Pty) Ltd is authorised by the FSCA as FSP 54829; we could not confirm it on the FSCA register on 2026-10-20 (the register could not be reached). That company only introduces clients; accounts are opened with xChief Ltd in Comoros.
  • Leverage up to 1:1000 and heavy use of bonuses, no-deposit offers and trading credits
  • Inactive accounts pay $20 and then $20 a month

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.
