With entities registered and regulated in the UK, South Africa, and Belize, CPT Markets is a truly global forex broker that caters to traders from nearly all countries, except the US, Canada, Israel and a few others. The broker offers high trading leverage and supports several of the most popular trading platforms in the world.
One thing that we took special note of when reviewing CPT Markets was the “Markets Academy” that this broker has created for anyone to use for free. Within this section of the website, aspiring traders can watch video tutorials on topics like copy trading, chart drawing and fundamental analysis. The section also contains a large selection of market overview videos, and analyses of current events affecting global markets, with a particular focus on forex and commodities.
Another thing that stands out about CPT Markets is that traders here have the choice between three different trading platforms, and not just one platform like most other brokers offer. The three platforms include the well-known MetaTrader 4 (MT4) and MetaTrader 5 (MT5), as well as the popular cTrader platform (for UK clients: only MT4 is available). As usual, all three platforms can be used either as a standard downloadable platform for Windows and Mac computers, or as a web-based platform for use on any type of computer.
In terms of available trading instruments, CPT Markets supports a full range, including forex, crypto, commodities, stock indices, and single stocks from more than 50 US-listed companies. As with almost all brokers we have reviewed here on FX-List, the instruments are all offered as contracts-for-difference (CFDs). These are essentially derivatives of the underlying asset, but they make trading very easy, both on the long and short side, with high leverage and small margin requirements.
Like with most forex brokers, CPT clients get the choice between several different types of trading accounts upon sign-up. At the time of writing, these include:
– ECN account, with a $1,000 minimum deposit, spreads from 0.1 pips, and commissions on all trades
– Classic account, with a $20 minimum deposit, spreads from 1.4 pips, and commission-free trading
– Prime account, with a $1,000 minimum deposit, spreads from 0.7 pips, and commission-free trading
Trading accounts with CPT Markets can be funded through most of the common payment methods, including bank wire transfer, credit and debit cards, Skrill and Neteller.
To reach CPT Markets' support team, traders can start a live chat, send an email, or request a call-back, with team members being on-duty 24 hours a day on trading days. According to the broker's website, support is available in English, Chinese, Thai, Vietnamese, Arabic, Bengali, Hindi and Urdu. The broker has not published any direct phone number to its international support team, but has a dedicated phone number for the UK market that can be found on its UK website.
In conclusion, CPT Markets is in our view a broker that is trying to capture a large global audience of traders with its presence in many parts of the world. We like that the broker is regulated locally in three different jurisdictions, and see this as a clear sign of its credibility. As we have mentioned in many of our reviews, it is generally safer to trade with regulated forex brokers than with unregulated offshore brokers. Consequently, we believe CPT Markets could be an interesting broker to consider for forex traders from around the world.
