NS Broker Pros & Cons

  • Execution of trades through the ECN network, which ensures high liquidity, order execution at best prices and absence of non-market quotes.
  • Access to trading 6 types of CFDs: currency pairs, stocks, indices, precious metals, cryptocurrencies and energies.
  • Control of the company’s operation by 6 international regulators.
  • A possibility for each trader to open up to 100 trading accounts in euro, US dollars and British pounds.
  • Quotes from the largest institutional liquidity providers, such as Currenex, Barclays, Dukascopy Bank, UBS.
  • Absence of non-trading fees for deposit and withdrawal of funds on the part of the broker.
  • Tight floating spreads – from 0.3 pips for EUR/USD.
  • The broker does not provide cent and standard accounts. The traders can trade only from ECN accounts, the work with which implies that a trader has certain experience and additional fixed commissions.
  • The company does not offer investment programs. The broker’s priority is to work with active traders, not passive investors.
  • The clients can trade only on the MetaTrader 5 platform. MetaTrader 4 is not provided.

The broker is a part of NSFX Ltd., an investment holding regulated by 5 European commissions.

NS Broker’s target audience are experienced market players and professional traders, who prefer active trading strategies.

TU Expert Verdict

Editor at Cryptocurrency & Blockchain Department

NS Broker carries a higher degree of risk. My review and user feedback point to noticeable performance issues and limitations. It may be appropriate only for experienced traders who fully understand the risks and are prepared for potential instability.

NS Broker offers ECN accounts for CFDs on 45 Forex pairs, stocks, indices, cryptocurrencies, energies, and precious metals through MetaTrader 5. The broker is regulated by Malta's MFSA and provides negative balance protection. Accounts are denominated in USD, EUR, or GBP, with floating spreads from 0.3 pips and commissions of $4 per lot for both opening and closing positions. Deposits and withdrawals carry no broker fees, and demo accounts are available.

Notable drawbacks include a single real ECN account, fixed commissions, no cent or standard account, and MetaTrader 5 as the sole platform. Its 100 instruments exclude bonds, ETFs, and passive investment services, while customer support received weak responsiveness ratings. NS Broker may suit experienced active traders who value ECN execution, while beginners and investors seeking broader choice may prefer alternatives.
