TU Expert Review for the best Crypto Brokers in the UK

Anton joined Traders Union as a financial expert and analyst in 2013. He performs comprehensive internal testing of brokers as a trader. Essentially, Anton “test drives” brokers: he checks the operation of the website and user account, the speed and effectiveness of customer support team, stability of the software, deposit and withdrawal processing times, legal documents of companies and also all additional services (VPS, affiliate programs, contests, bonuses, educational programs, etc.). Based on the results of his “inspections”, he prepares expert conclusions about the operation of brokerage companies in the Forex, stock and binary option markets and also of the cryptocurrency exchanges.

His opinion as for the best Crypto Brokers in the UK is posted below.

Eightcap - TU Expert Review

Eightcap has been in business for 14 years. This is one of the largest brokers with millions of clients globally. It is registered in Seychelles and the Bahamas, and controlled by SCB. All this indicates the reliability and transparency of the company. Nevertheless, Traders Union experts checked it and found no confirmed conflicts with its clients, problems with tax reporting, or other negative aspects. In terms of trading conditions, Eightcap rightfully takes one of the leading positions. The reason is that it manages to keep extremely low spreads. The declared indicator for account types with a raw spread is from 0 pips. The broker does not hide anything, thus current spreads can be checked on the website. For a number of assets, they really start from 0 pips, while the average indicator is about 0.5-0.7 pips. For most other brokers such parameters seem unreachable. But spreads are not the only advantage of Eightcap. The broker offers over 800 assets. This is an impressive number, but keep in mind that those are CFDs only. That is, currencies, cryptocurrencies, stocks, indices, and commodities are not available as independent instruments, but only in the form of CFD trading. This is not necessarily a disadvantage; traders just need to understand what they are working on. No other broker provides so many CFDs on cryptocurrencies. Plus, the maximum leverage is 1:500. By itself, the indicator is market average, however, in combination with other advantages of the broker, it provides much more opportunities. Eightcap has no options for passive income, and this can really be defined as a conditional disadvantage. There is not even a referral program, that is, the company's clients can earn only by actively trading in the available markets. Also, you can trade via MT4/MT5 from a desktop or smartphone, while the TradingView solution is available for browsers. Here the broker also offers comfortable working conditions. That's why its clients love it.

TeleTrade - TU Expert Review

Traders Union has been working with the company since 2012. Over this time, a lot of reviews have been received about the broker from the TU clients, which you can find on this page. All reviews are moderated and then published. Therefore, they contain relevant information about traders’ experience of working with TeleTrade. Each TU client who opened an account with a brokerage company is entitled to free legal support, as well as advice on general issues related to the broker’s performance.

Traders canopen a free demo account and trade virtual funds. The broker also provides several types of real accounts, which allows you to choose the best option in terms of conditions. Thanks to a large analytical section and loads of educational information, the company attracts a lot of novice traders. A wide range of technical analysis tools and the possibility to use various strategies, including pipsing, are the main reasons why experienced traders open an account with TeleTrade.

MEXC - TU Expert Review

The MXC exchange has been in business for over three years. During that time, there were no high-profile scandals with the cryptocurrency exchange related to the security of clients' funds. The company offers services of a crypto exchange, P2P exchange, and cold storage of cryptocurrencies in proprietary e-wallets. The platform offers clients over 400 trading pairs with 127 cryptocurrencies, but these are not the only opportunities for traders. Also, users can work with cryptocurrency ETFs and derivatives, so the choice of assets and trading instruments here can be considered excellent. The commission policy on MXC.com is not very profitable. First, we are talking about a fairly high commission per trade, which is 0.2%. In addition, there are fees for withdrawing funds. Passive income opportunities are a nice bonus for clients. The company charges profit for holding (storage of cryptocurrencies) and staking (temporary freezing of digital assets in the wallet).

FTMO - TU Expert Review

FTMO is a managing prop firm operating on the principle of a prop company. To receive money under management, a potential trader must successfully complete a two-stage active trading test. At each stage, requirements are set for the maximum allowable daily loss, total loss, and target profit level. The prop firm’s conditions are relatively loyal, but still, they can be difficult to successfully navigate. Regardless of the chosen testing package, the limits are 10% of the total loss. For comparison: other prop companies have allowable drawdowns of 15-20%. Despite the strict requirements for the test period, FTMO has a relatively low test cost beginning at €155. By comparison, in most companies in this sector, the entrance fee for passing the test is from €400-500. Another advantage is the availability of standard MT4/MT5 platforms and mobile app. Most other prop companies have their own or adapted platforms, while FTMO has standard platforms. This allows you to work with any custom indicators and advisors previously honed in the MetaTrader tester. My impression of FTMO remains positive. But after studying the conditions, it is clear that without trading experience, it makes no sense to try your hand at the test. Testing conditions are favorable for those who have worked previously with a demo account and are good at risk management. However, you can also gain experience on the company’s platform itself. There is a free version of the test that fully corresponds to the paid test.

FxPro - TU Expert Review

FxPro is one of the brokers that successfully combines marketing policy and technological development. The company has been in the market for more than 17 years and has been able to maximize its technical potential. Average order execution is up to 14-30 ms, while the market average is 100-150 ms. Average spreads for the EUR/USD pair range from 0.3 to 0.8 pips, and expansion at moments of fundamental volatility does not exceed 30-50%. You can check these numbers by installing a script for MT4/MT5. But there are no doubts that they are true. This is largely thanks to such liquidity providers as Barclays, Citibank, and RBS banks, which are FxPro's longtime partners. Trading conditions are ideal for everyone, regardless of experience level. Novice traders can improve their skills on demo accounts, which can be opened for any trading platform (cTrader, MT4/MT5, or FxPro Edge). All platforms, except FxPro Edge, support custom indicators, scripts, and Expert Advisors. There are auxiliary tools in the user account such as market sentiment, which is an indicator displaying the current position volumes and their number in both directions, volatility of currency pairs, analytics and tools of Trading Central, and news feed with streaming information. The number of payment methods is limited, but this is required by regulators. To compensate for this, FxPro guarantees instant processing of withdrawal requests and quick crediting of money. First impressions of the broker are positive, therefore it is rightfully included in the rating of the TU Top best companies. Check it out by opening a free demo account.
