The Spread, Commission, Trade Execution, and Withdrawal Process Is Good
Service use: Live
Length of use: 0-3 Months
The spread and commission is one of the lowest, check on myfxbook.com. Trade execution is good.
I have received my withdrawal funds less than 2 hours, even though today (sunday) is not a business day.

The service of FP Markets is very good.
Service use: Live
Length of use: 0-3 Months
The service of FP Markets is very good. The time of the deposit and withdrawal service is very fast, and in addition to the withdrawal of $10,000 or more, the amount before that can be withdrawn very quickly. They are friendly, and even though they do withdrawals every day, withdrawals can be made within 1 day, in some cases, within a few hours. The spreads are small, and I like the 1:500 leverage.

Not a true ECN broker
Service use: Other
Length of use: 0-3 Months
I come here again, in yet another broker, to warn investors to stay away!
This broker says they are ECN, but when asked in the chat, they inform that "they execute the order in the ECN pricing model, but that not all orders are traded like that and in some cases, they are counterparty".
In short, they will identify you, where you are from, your trading model and your money. and then they'll decide whether you'll stay in A Book or B Book. And they can change that at their discretion.
That simple.
At least they were honest in answering.
But I would advise not to open an account with this broker for obvious reasons: they will be the counterparty in your operation if they want, without prior notice! If you win, they lose. If they win, you lose.

Dear Guilherme,
Thank you for your review.
Acting as a principal to your trades, we are your sole counterparty. This arrangement allows you to access prices streamed from our liquidity providers to us that would typically not be available to you.
When you trade with us, you are trading with FP Markets as a principle to your trades, this is the case with most Forex and CFD providers. We do not interfere with orders and we source all our prices from external unrelated liquidity providers via an ECN or directly, these prices are then passed onto you with no dealing desk intervention.
Details of potential conflicts of interest can be found in our Conflicts of interests here; https://www.fpmarkets.com/wp-content/themes/fptheme/int/assets/pdf/FP-MARKETS-LLC-SUMMARY-OF-CONFLICTS-OF-INTEREST.pdf
Furthermore, we would like to hear your opinion once you have a genuine trading experience with FP Markets, on a live account.
Do not hesitate to contact us should you need any further clarification.
Kind Regards,
FP Markets

A prime example of a unethical/scam Broker
Service use: Live
Length of use: 0-3 Months
With several years of experience in trading, I still made the mistake of trusting FPMarkets as a broker.
I traded a considerable amount of lots with them, before I requested a withdrawal to Neteller.
They subtracted the full Neteller deposit fees before sending me the funds back, together with a email,
stating: I have miss used the system.
With this rather unpleased surprise, I started asking around in my traders community about the experience with
FPMarkets.
It turned out, that others made the same or similar disturbing experiance with this broker.
Needless to say, that I will never trade with them again.
We as traders have a choice, and there are other reputable brokers out there.....FPMarkets is NOT ONE OF THEM.
