FairMarkets Pros & Cons

This broker's pool comprises 47 currency pairs and several dozen CFDs from different groups.
Low entry barrier - most accounts have a low entry barrier starting at no minimum deposit, and the Demo account is free.
The four real accounts offer different trading styles and methods.
Trading costs are minimal because of narrow spreads and trading commissions attached only to one of the four accounts.
High-profit potential is possible because this broker does not impose restrictions and allows trading with significant leverage.
Additional earnings opportunities are presented via a standard referral program and an IB partnership for corporate clients.
Client support operates 24/5, and the managers are proficient in 9 languages.

This broker does not provide typical passive income options, such as joint accounts and copy trading.
Client support is available even at night but only on weekdays, with no assistance on weekends.
In some aspects, this broker lacks transparency; for instance, commission data for withdrawals is unavailable on their website.

TU Expert Verdict

FairMarkets demonstrates moderate stability and can suit certain traders. Its conditions are acceptable, and feedback is mixed but reasonable. In my own tests, it performed adequately, though it lacks the consistency of higher-rated companies.

I tried trading with FairMarkets for a few months. Honestly, I didn't like trading here. Although the broker claims to be licensed by the Australian regulator, the trading conditions are not impressive. For a STANDARD account, the spreads are supposed to start from 0 points. However, in reality, FairMarkets provides spreads on major currency pairs of around 5-6 points. This is quite high, and most importantly, it doesn't align with the information on their website.

I couldn't generate profits on Fairmarkets' platform. I tried trading on an account with standard conditions, hoping for good returns. However, it turns out that the trading terminals at Fairmarkets are a nightmare. Limit orders can be executed with slippage of 25 points or more, and this happens consistently. My profit might be 30 points, but due to such slippage, I end up with losses.

Having worked at fairmarkets for almost six months, I can say that I was dissatisfied with our work. I tried two of their accounts, STANDARD FIXED and STANDARD VARIABLE, but nothing was right. At first the conditions were acceptable and spread was quite ok, but then everything turned bad, when spread began to widen greatly due to volatility. The execution also deteriorated. It takes a long time to withdraw profits now. Indeed, they have never had instant withdrawals, but the money always came within a couple of days. For the last months they have been delaying it for weeks. In general, I will leave.
