Trustworthiness & Regulation

FXDD Trading, founded in 2002, is a well-established broker in the forex industry. It is privately owned and not publicly traded, which means it does not provide its financials publicly. Despite this, FXDD Trading has garnered a high user rating of 4.2 out of 5 from 20 verified reviews out of a total of 21 user reviews. The broker ranks 30 out of 815 forex brokers based on user ratings and 50 out of 815 based on our expert's rating, with a popularity rating of 4.0 out of 5.

The broker's website receives an estimated 50,705 organic monthly visits, ranking 187 out of 815 forex brokers for organic traffic. FXDD Trading is regulated by multiple authorities including the Mauritius FSC and Cyprus CySEC, offering a degree of trustworthiness and security for traders. However, it is important to keep in mind that even highly regulated and successful financial firms have failed in the past.

Company	Licenses & Regulations	Segregated Client Money	Deposit Compensation Scheme	Negative Balance Protection	Rebates	Max. Leverage Retail Clients
FXDD Mauritius Ltd	Mauritius - MU FSC					500 : 1
Triton Capital Markets Ltd	Malta - MT MFSA		up to €20,000			30 : 1
FXDD Trading Limited Bermuda						500 : 1

Deposit Insurance

FXDD Trading's regulatory framework includes a deposit compensation scheme under its Cyprus CySEC regulation, which compensates investors if an authorized financial firm fails. However, the broker does not offer such a scheme under its Mauritius FSC and Bermuda registrations.

This means that while traders under the CySEC regulation can have some peace of mind regarding the safety of their deposits, those under the other jurisdictions should consider this aspect carefully when choosing their regulatory environment.

Spreads and Costs

When comparing average spreads and costs across asset classes, FXDD Trading shows mixed results. While it offers competitive spreads on certain asset classes, such as commodities, its average forex spreads are higher compared to some market-leading brokers like IC Markets and ThinkMarkets.

Overall, FXDD Trading's spread and cost structure is generally in line with industry standards, but traders might find better rates for specific asset classes with other brokers.

Note: Crypto averages comprise (BTCUSD, ETHUSD), forex averages comprise (EURUSD, USDJPY, GBPJPY, EURGBP, AUDNZD, CADCHF), indices averages comprise (US30, AUS200), and commodities average comprises (XAUUSD, XAGUSD). Data is sampled every 10 seconds for 24 hours to calculate the average. Forex is stated in pips, and the others are stated in base currency. All spreads including both spread and commission calculated in.

A spread is the difference between the bid (sell) and ask (buy) price of an asset and can vary widely between brokers and account types.

Some brokers charge higher spreads but no commission, while others charge both, making it crucial to assess the total cost, which includes both spread and commission. Our values reflect this all-in cost. Note that some brokers may set low costs on popular pairs like EURUSD but higher rates on other instruments.

Many brokers also advertise "as low as" spreads that may not reflect the true average or include commissions. Comparing true all-in cost averages across various instruments and asset classes is vital for accurate assessment.

Combined Spread/Commission Costs Per Instrument Compared to Market Leading Brokers

Comparison to other Brokers

FXDD Trading is a well-established broker with a strong regulatory framework, high user ratings, and a wide range of trading platforms. However, when compared to other industry-leading brokers such as IC Markets, Exness, and ThinkMarkets, it shows higher average forex spreads.

While FXDD Trading offers competitive swap rates and a comprehensive range of tradable instruments, its overall cost structure might not be as attractive for traders focused on minimizing spreads. Additionally, the absence of a deposit compensation scheme under some regulatory bodies and higher spreads on commodities could be potential drawbacks for some traders.

Despite these factors, FXDD Trading remains a reliable and popular choice among traders, especially those looking for high leverage options and diverse trading platforms.

Trading Platforms - Mobile, Desktop, Automated

FXDD Trading offers a variety of trading platforms to cater to different trading styles and preferences. MetaTrader 4 (MT4) and MetaTrader 5 (MT5) are available for desktop, mobile, and web, supporting automated trading through their respective programming languages, MQL4 and MQL5.

Both languages are moderately easy to learn, making them accessible for traders looking to implement automated strategies. The FXDD WebTrader and FXDD Mobile platforms provide additional options for those who prefer web-based or mobile trading, though they do not support automated trading.

What Can you Trade?

FXDD Trading offers a variety of instruments across several asset classes, including over 50 forex pairs, more than 40 stock CFDs, 14 stock index CFDs, and 9 commodities CFDs. While the broker does not offer trading in cryptocurrencies, ETFs, or bonds, it provides a wide range of options for forex and CFD traders.

All instruments are traded as CFDs, which means traders do not own the underlying assets but rather speculate on price movements. Trading CFDs allows the use of leverage, which can amplify both gains and losses. For a detailed list of available instruments, visit the FXDD Trading website.

Available Leverage

FXDD Trading offers different leverage levels depending on the regulatory body and the type of instrument. Under the Mauritius FSC regulation, retail clients can access leverage up to 500:1, providing substantial trading power.

However, under the Cyprus CySEC regulation, leverage is capped at 30:1 for retail clients, in line with EU regulatory standards aimed at protecting investors. It is crucial for traders to understand the implications of leverage, as it can significantly increase both potential profits and potential losses.

Prohibited Countries

FXDD Trading does not accept clients from certain countries due to regulatory restrictions. These typically include the United States, Iran, and other countries subject to international sanctions.

It is advisable to check directly with FXDD Trading or their website for the most up-to-date list of prohibited countries before attempting to open an account.
