Regulation and Safety

LiteFinance’s group includes a CySEC-licensed company in Cyprus and an FSC-licensed company in Mauritius. Most international clients, though, open accounts with LiteFinance Global LLC, which is registered in St. Vincent and the Grenadines. That is a company registration, not a forex licence, and there is no investor compensation fund.

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, LiteFinance lists: Classic from 1.8 points. 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. LiteFinance: ECN from 0.0 points plus $5 per lot on forex majors. 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.

LiteFinance’s inactivity fee: $10 per 30 days once an account has been dormant for 3 months. FP Markets lists no inactivity fee. Withdrawal fees: LiteFinance: depends on the method; withdrawals go back to the deposit wallet; FP Markets: none on bank wires from FP Markets.

Platforms and Copy Trading

LiteFinance offers MT4, MT5 and cTrader. FP Markets offers MT4, MT5, cTrader and TradingView.

LiteFinance’s copy trading: Social Trading, built in, usually from $50. 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

LiteFinance’s maximum leverage: 1:1000. 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 LiteFinance if:

• You want copy trading built into the broker
• You use cTrader as well as MetaTrader
• You value a brand that has traded since 2005

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.
