In the fast-paced world of forex trading, choosing the right broker is crucial. FxPro and TrioMarkets are two popular options, each with unique strengths and weaknesses. This comparison will dive into the key features of both platforms,helping you decide which one best suits your trading style and goals.
The radar chart above illustrates the comparison between FxPro and TrioMarkets across several key metrics, with the highest possible score being 100 in each category.
At FxScouts, our mission is to assist traders in finding the broker that best suits their needs. Comparing brokers side-by-side is an effective method to achieve this goal. We evaluated FxPro and TrioMarkets, using our standard criteria: trust and regulation, trading platforms, costs and trading conditions, and educational and market analysis resources.
Trust and regulation are crucial when selecting a Forex broker. A broker’s credibility is largely built on its regulatory status. We spend considerable time verifying the safety of each broker by examining their regulatory licenses. We also consider numerous factors when deciding which tier a regulator belongs to. Regulators that we rank as the world’s top regulators, gets a tier 1 rank, while regulators who only scores a tier 5-rank, provide virtually no regulatory oversight. The more top-tier authorities regulating a broker, the higher its trust rating. Read more about regulation and our tier system here.
In our comparison:
Based on these findings, FxPro earned a higher trust rating than TrioMarkets.
When comparing brokers, trading costs are a significant factor. We consider the minimum deposit required to open an account and ongoing costs, including spreads and commissions. We measure the cost to trade one lot of EUR/USD using the broker’s account with the lowest minimum deposit, including both the spread and any commission charged.
We found that FxPro has overall lower trading costs than TrioMarkets.
Trading Platforms Offered Traders prefer brokers that offer a variety of trading platforms. We rate brokers higher if they support multiple platforms like MetaTrader4, MetaTrader5, cTrader, and proprietary platforms.
Copy trading is beneficial for beginner traders or those unable to trade full-time. In this case both FxPro and TrioMarkets offer copy trading.
A broader range of CFD instruments provides more trading opportunities. FxPro offers a greater variety of instruments compared to TrioMarkets:
For those interested in trading cryptocurrencies, FxPro offers 30 cryptocurrencies, while TrioMarkets offers 4 cryptocurrencies. Therefore, FxPro is the better choice for cryptocurrency trading.
Traders prefer brokers with quick and cost-effective deposit and withdrawal processes. We favor brokers that process withdrawals within 24 hours using multiple methods without charging fees.We found that TrioMarkets charges a withdrawal fee and FxPro does not. Overall, FxPro has better deposit and withdrawal processes than TrioMarkets.Â
We often find that brokers offer very little in the way of educational materials, forcing traders to use other third-party sites or self-educate elsewhere. Beginner traders need well-structured, well-presented materials in multiple formats to get a good start at trading. More experienced traders also benefit from webinars led by experts in the field and advanced trading strategy sections with new trading ideas.Â
FxPro has better educational support than TrioMarkets. Both FxPro and TrioMarkets offer educational support for more experienced traders.Access to frequent and high-quality market research and analysis is crucial.
We found that TrioMarkets offers better research analysis than FxPro and that both FxPro and TrioMarkets offer frequent webinars.
FxPro is a well-regulated broker with a wide range of accounts, reasonable minimum deposits, and an excellent selection of trading platforms. Filipino traders should be aware that they will be onboarded through FxPro’s Bahamas-based entity, meaning traders have few legal rights in the event of a dispute with the company.Â
Other issues we found with FxPro are that its trading costs are generally much higher than other brokers and its education and market analysis are limited. But we were impressed with how easy-to-use FxPro’s mobile trading app was and the quality of customer support we received. Support is available in a range of languages, 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
With a range of useful trading tools and a large set of Forex pairs, TrioMarkets may appeal to experienced traders looking for a new MT4 broker, though trading costs are extremely high on all account options. Â
An ECN/STP broker, Triomarkets offers trading on 60+ Forex pairs, cryptocurrencies, metals, indices, shares, energies, and commodities. With four live accounts, TrioMarkets’ commission-free entry-level account has a minimum deposit of 100 USD, but very wide spreads (2.40 pips on the EUR/USD). Spreads tighten to 0 pips on its Premium Account - with a relatively high commission of 8 USD (round turn) - but this account requires a minimum deposit of 50,000 USD, making it inaccessible to most traders. Â
TrioMarkets only supports the MT4 trading platform, but it does offer various powerful trading tools. TrioExtend is an MT4 plugin that features sophisticated alarms and messaging systems, technical analysis tools, and live sentiment and correlation tracking. TrioMarkets also offers a social trading platform, FIX API, a VPS hosting service, and MAM/PAMM accounts. Â
TrioMarkets provides little in the way of educational and market analysis materials and customer support is also largely unresponsive and unavailable, making it a poor choice for beginner traders. Â
