We don't link to Eightcap from your region, because it doesn't serve retail clients here through a locally regulated company. You can still read our full review. Eightcap serves UK, EU and Australian clients through local entities. Clients of its FCA entity get TradingView only.

We don't link to brokers from the US or Canada, because retail CFD trading isn't offered to residents there. You can still read our full review.

We don't link to brokers from your country. You can still read our full review.

Account links appear once we can confirm your region. You can still read our full review. Eightcap serves UK, EU and Australian clients through local entities. Clients of its FCA entity get TradingView only.

You open directly with the broker — we never take your documents or your money.

The verdict

MT4, MT5 and TradingView with tier-one licences in three jurisdictions and the deepest crypto CFD range we index.

Eightcap pairs near-leader raw pricing with native TradingView execution and 250+ crypto CFDs — nothing else in the index does all three. The hundred-dollar minimum is the only real friction, and licences cover Australia, the UK and the EU properly.

What would send us elsewhere

Tied for the highest minimum among our cost leaders (with AvaTrade, Plus500 and IronFX).

Webinars and blogs, no structured path.
