Pros & cons

Fusion Markets
  • One of the lowest costs in the industry (very small commission)
  • ASIC regulation + wide platform selection
  • Well-regarded support
  • A relatively new (2019) & small broker
  • Many clients via the VFSC Vanuatu entity (light regulation)
  • Leverage is high-risk
FXCM
  • An established broker since 1999 with the mature Trading Station & MT4 platforms
  • Now backed by a large financial group (Jefferies/StoneX)
  • International entities regulated by FCA/ASIC/FSCA
  • Permanently banned from the US market (2017) + a US$7 million fine for hiding a conflict of interest — a serious regulatory record
  • Trust was dented by that case; verify the entity serving your region
  • Leveraged products are high-risk
