easyMarkets Review 2027 Supported Platforms and Tools

Every trader has closed a position in frustration and watched the market turn the right way minutes later. easyMarkets built a feature specifically for that moment: for a small fee, you can undo a losing trade. Together with fixed spreads and stop-losses that are guaranteed at no charge, it makes this one of the more distinctive brokers around. This easyMarkets review for 2027 looks at how those tools work and what they really cost.

Background

The broker launched in 2001 under the name easy-forex, with the aim of making currency trading accessible to people who found professional platforms intimidating. It was one of the first to let clients start with a small card deposit and trade through a simple web page. In 2016, having added commodities, indices and other markets, it rebranded as easyMarkets. The company is headquartered in Limassol, Cyprus, and is privately held. It is widely recognised through a long-running partnership with a leading Spanish football club.

easyMarkets is a market maker. It quotes its own prices and takes the other side of client trades, which is what allows it to offer fixed spreads and guaranteed execution features.

Regulation

easyMarkets operates through several regulated entities: one authorised by CySEC in Cyprus for European clients, one by ASIC in Australia, and others regulated by the Financial Services Authority of Seychelles, the Financial Services Commission of the British Virgin Islands and the FSCA in South Africa.

European and Australian retail clients are limited to leverage of 1:30 on major pairs and receive the protections required in those jurisdictions, including access to the Cypriot investor compensation fund for EU clients. International clients can use much higher leverage, up to 1:2000 on the MT5 account under the offshore entities. Negative balance protection and segregated client funds apply to all clients.

easyMarkets review of its risk tools

These features are available on the broker's own web platform and app.

• dealCancellation: when opening a trade you can pay a fee, shown in advance and based on market volatility, for the right to cancel the trade within a chosen window of one, three or six hours. If the position is losing and you cancel, the loss is returned to you; you forfeit only the fee. It is effectively a short-dated insurance policy on a single trade.
• Free guaranteed stop loss: stop-loss orders on the proprietary platform are filled at exactly the level you set, with no slippage, and without the premium most brokers charge for guaranteed stops.
• Freeze Rate: a button that holds the quoted price for a few seconds so you can decide whether to deal at it while the market keeps moving.
• easyTrade: a simplified product in which you choose a maximum risk amount and a time period, with no margin requirement and no spread; the cost is the risk amount itself if the trade does not work out.

These tools are useful, particularly for newer traders and around volatile news events. They are not free money. The cancellation fee rises with volatility, and a trader who pays it routinely will give up a significant share of profits. Use it selectively, when the protection is worth more than its price.

Spreads and accounts in 2027

Fixed spreads do not widen during news releases or thin overnight markets, which gives certainty about costs. The trade-off is that on the entry-level Standard account they are wider than the average variable spreads at low-cost brokers. Tighter fixed spreads are available at the higher tiers, and the MT5 account offers variable pricing from a low level.

easyMarkets charges no commissions on forex, no deposit or withdrawal fees, and no account maintenance or inactivity fees. That simplicity is part of its appeal.

Platforms

• The easyMarkets web platform and mobile app, where all the proprietary risk tools are available, with TradingView charts built in
• MetaTrader 4 and MetaTrader 5, for traders who want expert advisors and the standard MetaTrader environment
• TradingView, with direct account connection

Note that dealCancellation, Freeze Rate and the free guaranteed stop are features of the proprietary platform and are not available in the same way on MetaTrader.

Markets

The broker offers more than 275 instruments, including around 60 currency pairs, metals, energy, agricultural commodities, indices, shares and cryptocurrencies, plus vanilla options on a range of markets. This is a smaller selection than many competitors provide, especially in individual shares.

Education and support

Educational material includes a learning centre with articles, e-books, videos and a knowledge base aimed at beginners, along with market news, an economic calendar and trading signals. Each client is assigned a personal account manager, and customer support is available by live chat, phone, email and messaging apps around the clock on trading days.

Pros and cons

Who is easyMarkets best for?

easyMarkets is a good match for beginners and cautious traders who value predictable costs and built-in protection against slippage and sudden reversals. News traders can also benefit from fixed spreads. High-frequency traders and those seeking the tightest raw pricing or a very wide market selection will be better served by an ECN-style broker.
