Established in 2005, FP Markets (First Prudential Markets) is a globally recognised forex and CFD broker offering traders access to a broad range of asset classes through advanced trading technology. Headquartered in Sydney, the company is regulated by several top-tier authorities, including ASIC (Australia) and CySEC (Cyprus), providing clients with the assurance of strong investor protection and transparent business practices.

FP Markets is renowned for its tight spreads, deep liquidity and ultra-fast execution, supported by its direct market access (DMA) model. Traders can choose from multiple platforms, including MetaTrader 4 (MT4), MetaTrader 5 (MT5) and IRESS, catering to both retail and professional clients. The broker also stands out for offering 24/7 multilingual customer support, zero inactivity fees, and a wide range of funding options with rapid processing times.

Education and research are also a focus for FP Markets, with a growing library of webinars, tutorials, eBooks and daily market analysis available to traders of all levels.

On the downside, the broker’s cryptocurrency offering remains limited, and Islamic swap-free accounts are not yet available, which may deter some traders seeking Sharia-compliant trading options. Furthermore, FP Markets does not currently accept clients from the United States or United Kingdom.

Despite these limitations, FP Markets remains a highly respected broker, combining strong regulation, excellent trading infrastructure and competitive pricing. It continues to be a preferred choice among traders who value reliability, efficiency and transparent execution.
