Regulation and Safety

Exness’s companies hold licences from 11 regulators, but its FCA and CySEC companies don’t serve retail clients. Individual traders are served by offshore companies such as Exness (SC) Ltd in Seychelles. Exness does not serve residents of the USA, Canada, the EU or the UK.

FP Markets’ group is regulated by ASIC in Australia and CySEC in Cyprus, and its site also names the FSCA in South Africa and the FSA in Seychelles. Many international clients, however, are placed with FP Markets Ltd, which is registered in Saint Lucia and is not a member of an investor compensation fund.

On paper FP Markets has the stronger regulatory footprint, but that only helps if your account sits with one of its strictly regulated companies. Check which company your country places you with before you deposit.

Trading Costs

On commission-free accounts, Exness lists: Standard from 0.2 pips (EUR/USD average 0.8). FP Markets lists: Standard from 1.0 pip (EUR/USD average 1.2). “From” figures are minimums, so expect wider live spreads, especially around news.

Both offer a raw-spread account. Exness: Raw Spread from 0.0 pips plus up to $3.50 per side. FP Markets: Raw from 0.0 pips (EUR/USD average 0.1) plus US$3 per side. For frequent traders, a raw account usually costs less per trade than a spread-only one.

Platforms and Copy Trading

Exness offers MT4, MT5, Exness Terminal and Exness Trade app. FP Markets offers MT4, MT5, cTrader and TradingView.

Exness has no copy trading service of its own (closed on 25 June 2026). FP Markets’s copy trading: Social Trading on MT4 and MT5; cTrader Copy. Copying another trader doesn’t remove risk: you can lose money as fast as trading yourself.

Leverage

Exness’s maximum leverage: unlimited for eligible accounts, otherwise up to 1:2000. FP Markets’s: 1:500.

A higher maximum is not an advantage in itself. Leverage multiplies losses as fast as gains, so beginners should use far less than either broker allows.

Which One Should You Choose?

Go with Exness if:

• You want raw-spread accounts and no inactivity fee
• Fast, automated withdrawals matter to you
• You are comfortable with offshore regulation

Go with FP Markets if:

• You trade often and want raw spreads with a low commission
• You want cTrader or TradingView
• You want a group with ASIC and CySEC licences

Whichever you choose, test a small withdrawal early, verify your account before you need your money, and risk only what you can afford to lose.
