Our view of InstaForex
InstaForex stands out for 19 years of operating history, raw spreads from 0.0 pips, a low minimum deposit of $1 and MetaTrader 4 and 5. The main issues to consider are offshore-only regulation, no negative balance protection and no compensation scheme. Its suitability depends on the legal entity available in your country, the protection attached to that entity and whether its pricing and platform range match how you intend to trade.
Who InstaForex may suit
InstaForex may suit traders looking for raw spreads with a commission, a small first deposit, copy trading and automated strategies.
Who should consider alternatives
Consider alternatives if you require negative balance protection and a compensation scheme, stronger regulatory protection or account terms that are not available through your local entity.
What stands out
- High leverage, low deposit requirement
What to consider
- High spreads on standard accounts
