FP Markets is a well-regulated Forex broker with two low-cost, low minimum deposit accounts, and a range of excellent trading tools. We were also impressed with how easy the FP Markets Trading App was to use and the quality of FP Markets' customer service. Regarding fees, FP Markets has an “ECN pricing” model, which it claims provides “extremely competitive” costs. Unfortunately, we found that the fees on its standard trading accounts were higher than most of its ECN competitors. But FP Markets does make it easy for beginners to get started, with 100 AUD minimum deposits and unlimited demo accounts. We are also impressed that in addition to MT4 and MT5, cTrader is also available. FP Markets is now one of a handful of brokers with such a good platform offering.

Octa is an excellent low-cost broker, but it has a few drawbacks. On the one hand, it has very low trading costs, charges no fees for deposits and withdrawals, and offers an excellent copy trading service — though this is not available on iOS mobile devices. On the other hand, Octa onboards Filipino traders through its Comoros Union-based entity, which has few regulatory protections. The range of instruments available to trade is also slightly limited compared to other brokers, with 52 Forex pairs, 5 commodities, 10 indices, 150 equities, and 34 cryptocurrencies. Looking past these issues, you will find an excellent low-cost broker: Octa offers three swap-free accounts with minimum deposits of 20 USD, a slick mobile app, and a good range of trading tools. It also heavily promotes its wide range of bonuses and can offer leverage of 1:1000 on Forex pairs. Finally, customer support is available 24/7.
