ForexMart Review

Review

ForexMart is the trading name of a Cyprus Investment Firm located in Limassol, Cyprus and regulated by the Cyprus Securities Exchange (CySEC). Last year, it was named by ShowFx World as the Best Broker in Europe 2015 and Most Perspective Broker in Asia 2015.

Accounts

There are two accounts at ForexMart—the Standard and the Zero Spread.  A minimum deposit of 1 USD is required to open either of the accounts and currencies in both can be in USD, EUR and GBP. The only difference in the two accounts is the spread of 2 pips that is charged for major currencies in the Standard account and the fee of 2 pips applied to major currency pairs in the Zero Spread account.

Leverage for both accounts range from 1:1 to 1:1000 and demo accounts are available.

Account Types Comparison

All clients’ funds are separated from the company’s assets.

Features

ForexMart offers several types of partnership programs. The Friend Referrer allows referred friends to do most of the work and all the trader must do is promote ForexMart services to potential clients and make them trade in the company. When they generate profit, so does the trader.

ForexMart has designed different user-friendly, glitch-free widgets, as well as promotional materials, which can be integrated into any website and traders can take advantage of this when building their site.

Interested parties can choose to become an online partner, local online partner or local office partner all of which help generate extra income to a trader’s account.

Bonuses/Promotions

When a trader opens a ForexMart account and makes a deposit, he/she has the opportunity to get 30% of the total amount of money deposited. For example, if he deposits $100, a $30 bonus will be deposited in his account for a total balance of $130. The automatic system will generate the right amount of bonus.

The No Deposit Bonus program enables traders to test the trading platforms without experiencing any investment risk. All it takes is creating and validating an account. The bonus can be availed once and cannot be combined with other kinds of bonuses. Traders may receive a no deposit bonus of up to $150.

At the time of the writing of this review ForexMart was giving away VIP passes to watch UD Las Palmas play against the best European football teams at Gran Canaria Stadium. All active ForexMart clients were qualified to join the raffle. Each client automatically receives one (1) raffle entry and participants had to be 18 or older.

Also available when doing this review was an ongoing contest called the MoneyFall for demo account users only. All demo account holders were eligible to register for the contest and the total prize fund per week was $2000.  A starting balance of $5000 was necessary for the weekly contest where the first place winner received $650, 2^nd prize was $500 and there are 10 prizes each week.

The features at ForexMart are quite standard but the most interesting offerings are the bonuses.
