About us | ActivTrades

ActivTrades is a leading independent broker providing trading services in Forex, Contracts for Difference (CFDs) and Spread Betting. We aim to maximise our clients’ trading through a unique mix of superior value proposition, diverse product offering, competitive spreads and stellar customer service.

Superior Value Proposition

At ActivTrades, we understand that our operational success depends on our customers’ success – and that is why we have laid out a four-pronged value proposition to enhance trading conditions for customers.

Our clients enjoy benefits associated with the fact that ActivTrades:

Offers competitive trading conditions with an easy to use proprietary trading platform as well as MetaTrader 4 and 5.
Is affiliated with the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS), which protects clients investing with its member firms;
Has implemented effective internal controls to ensure that clients’ funds are held in segregated accounts and can only be used by ActivTrades to carry out clients’ trading and withdrawal instructions;

Diverse Product Offering

ActivTrades serves individual and institutional clients, providing sophisticated tools and services that match the needs of both client categories. Clients can trade with MetaTrader 4 or MetaTrader 5, two of the most popular and reliable trading platforms available in the industry. We provide trading services for more than 50 currency pairs as well as indices, CFDs, gold, silver, oil and other commodities.

Competitive Spreads

ActivTrades offers some of the tightest spreads in the industry with our 5-decimal-digit pricing, starting as low as 0.5 pips for EURUSD. Clients enjoy leverage as high as 1:400, as well as minilots and microlots (minimum stake of 10p per point on Spread Betting, for example). Our deal-execution systems are fully automated; there is no dealing desk, and therefore no human intervention, resulting in fairer execution of clients’ trades.

ActivTrades PLC has a robust and regularly reviewed Internal Capital Adequacy Assessment Process (ICAAP). Our regulator, The Financial Conduct Authority, has strongly endorsed the recommendations of the Basel II accord. This includes the strictly maintained minimum capital requirement of 8% for any net foreign exchange exposure. Historically, ActivTrades PLC has maintained capital and reserves at a level far greater than has been prescribed by our regulator. The Company regards this as the key measure of our security.

All financial products traded on margin carry a high degree of risk to your capital. They are not suited to all investors, please ensure that you fully understand the risks involved, and seek independent advice if necessary.

Limited Risk Accounts are compulsory for clients residing in France and provide added protection when placing CFD transactions. The protection ensures your risk of loss does not exceed the initial amount invested, meaning loss is limited solely to the margin required to open a position.
