Trustworthiness & Regulation

BCS Markets is a privately owned broker founded in 2006, operating for over a decade in the forex market. The broker segregates client funds from its operating capital adding a layer of security for investors.

Despite these positives, BCS Markets lacks regulation from top-tier financial authorities, being registered only in the Saint Vincent & The Grenadines isle, which is considered non-regulated. This might raise concerns for some traders looking for robust regulatory oversight.

User reviews and popularity ratings for BCS Markets are quite low. With no user reviews available and a popularity rating of 2.4 out of 5, it ranks 394 out of 815 forex brokers based on user ratings and 463 based on expert ratings.

The broker attracts an estimated 10,723 organic monthly visits, ranking 390 out of 815 for organic traffic, which indicates moderate interest from traders. While the broker has been in business for many years, potential clients should be aware of its lower popularity and lack of strong regulatory backing.

Deposit Insurance

BCS Markets does not support a deposit compensation scheme, which compensates investors if an authorized financial firm fails. Still, the broker segregates client funds from its operating capital, which means that client money is kept separate from the broker's own funds, enhancing the safety of client deposits.

Spreads and Costs

BCS Markets offers competitive spreads and costs when compared to other brokers. The average spreads for forex instruments are quite low, with an average of 0.41 pips, making it an attractive option for forex traders looking for cost-efficient trading.

When comparing across asset classes, BCS Markets tends to offer in-line or better-than-average costs.

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.

Comparison to other Brokers

BCS Markets, founded in 2006, has been in the forex industry for over a decade. Despite its longevity, the broker is not regulated by top-tier authorities, which may be a concern for some traders.

It offers competitive spreads, particularly in forex, with an average spread of 0.41 pips. However, its lack of regulation from high-tier financial authorities and low popularity among users are significant drawbacks.

Compared to industry-leading brokers such as IC Markets, HFM, XM, FxPro, Pepperstone, and Axi, BCS Markets falls short in terms of regulatory oversight and user reviews.

While it offers a reasonable range of instruments and platforms (MetaTrader 4 and MetaTrader 5), its low user rating and limited web traffic indicate a need for improvement in customer satisfaction and market presence.

Overall, BCS Markets may appeal to traders looking for competitive forex spreads and the reliability of a broker with over a decade of experience.

However, those prioritizing strong regulatory oversight and higher popularity ratings might find better options among the top-tier brokers mentioned above.

Trading Platforms - Mobile, Desktop, Automated

BCS Markets offers MetaTrader 4 (MT4) and MetaTrader 5 (MT5) platforms, which are available for desktop, mobile, and web trading. Both platforms support automated trading through their respective programming languages, MQL4 for MT4 and MQL5 for MT5.

These languages are known for their ease of learning and robust features, making them popular choices for traders looking to implement automated trading strategies.

MT4 is renowned for its user-friendly interface, advanced charting tools, and a wide range of technical indicators. MT5 builds on the strengths of MT4, offering more timeframes, advanced order types, and an economic calendar.

Both platforms provide a seamless trading experience across different devices, allowing traders to stay connected to the markets at all times.

What Can you Trade?

BCS Markets offers a range of tradable instruments across various asset classes. Traders can access over 40 forex CFDs, 100+ stock CFDs, 9 stock index CFDs, and 7 commodities CFDs. While the broker does not offer cryptocurrency CFDs, it provides a solid selection of traditional asset classes for diversified trading.

Traders should note that BCS Markets primarily offers CFDs (Contracts for Difference), which are derivatives that allow traders to speculate on the price movements of underlying assets without owning them.

CFDs enable traders to use leverage, amplifying both potential gains and losses. While leverage can enhance trading opportunities, it also increases risk, making it essential for traders to manage their positions carefully.

Available Leverage

BCS Markets offers a maximum leverage of 200:1 for retail clients. This leverage level applies across various instruments, providing traders with the ability to amplify their trading positions.

It is important to understand that while leverage can increase potential profits, it also magnifies potential losses. Traders should use leverage judiciously and be aware of the risks involved.

Prohibited Countries

BCS Markets does not accept clients from several countries, including the United States, EEA, Japan, and other jurisdictions where local regulations prohibit forex trading or the broker does not have the necessary licenses.

Traders should check with BCS Markets directly or consult their website for the most up-to-date information on prohibited countries.
