FXGiants at a glance
An established multi-asset broker, reviewed by the Tradelytic team and rated by traders.
FXGiants is a forex and CFD brand of the Notesco group, the multi-entity fintech group behind IronFX, and has been serving traders since 2016. Global clients on fxgiants.com trade with Notesco (BVI) Limited, authorised by the Financial Services Commission of the British Virgin Islands (Licence SIBA/L/24/1175), while the wider group holds licences with the UK’s FCA (Notesco UK Limited, ref. 585561), CySEC in Cyprus (125/10), and South Africa’s FSCA (45276). That group pedigree gives FXGiants more institutional depth than a typical offshore-only broker, though most international clients are onboarded under the BVI entity, which carries lighter protections than the FCA or CySEC arms.
Where FXGiants stands out is choice of trading conditions. Six account variants across two families – Live (Floating, Fixed, and Zero Fixed Spread) and STP/ECN (No Commission, Zero Spread, and Absolute Zero) – all open from a $100 minimum deposit. That means you can pick between commission-free trading with standard spreads, fixed spreads for predictable costs (a rarity these days), or raw spreads from 0.0 pips with a per-lot commission. Leverage runs up to 1:1000 on the Live accounts – among the highest available anywhere – with 1:200 on STP/ECN accounts.
The platform is MetaTrader 4 across desktop, WebTrader, iOS, and Android, with full Expert Advisor support, the PMAM multi-account manager for money managers, built-in copy trading, and free VPS hosting for active traders holding $5,000+. The market range covers 300+ instruments: 70+ forex pairs, metals, indices, commodities, shares, futures, and energies – though no cryptocurrency CFDs on the global offering.
Funding options are broad (cards, wire, Skrill, Neteller, FasaPay, UnionPay, and Bitcoin), deposits are free, and a no-deposit welcome bonus of up to $120 lets new clients test live conditions without funding. The honest context: FXGiants’ public reputation is mixed – its Trustpilot profile is weak, with withdrawal-delay complaints a recurring theme, and the offshore entity has attracted regulator attention in the EU – so we’d suggest starting small and testing the full deposit-to-withdrawal cycle before scaling up.
Our verdict
The Tradelytic editorial assessment — independent of any commercial relationship.
A functional offshore broker with solid forex coverage, best suited to non-EU retail traders comfortable with offshore regulation
FXGiants makes sense for experienced, cost-focused MT4 traders who want account-type flexibility, high leverage, or fixed spreads, and who know how to manage offshore-broker risk – small deposits, no bonus acceptance unless the terms are fully understood, and early test withdrawals. Beginners and larger depositors have safer homes with top-tier-regulated brokers.
FXGiants offers one of the more flexible trading setups in the offshore space. Six account types from a single $100 minimum is unusual – most competitors gate raw spreads behind $500 – $5,000 deposits – and the mix of fixed-spread, floating, and true zero-spread options means scalpers, news traders, and cost-planners can each find a fit. The MT4 stack is mature and automation-friendly: unrestricted EAs, free VPS for qualifying accounts, a proper multi-account manager, and copy trading. Add Trading Central-powered research, an economic calendar, and eBook/video education, and the toolkit is respectable. Nearly a decade of operation and a parent group holding FCA, CySEC, and FSCA licences also count for something.
Now the honest part. Global clients trade under the BVI entity, not the FCA one – so no FSCS compensation, and only the lighter BVI framework behind your funds (negative balance protection is provided). The group’s offshore marketing has drawn a CONSOB blacklisting in Italy, and FXGiants’ Trustpilot rating sits at a poor 2.4/5 across 160+ reviews, with withdrawal delays and bonus-related profit disputes the loudest complaints – a pattern shared with sister brand IronFX. The bonuses themselves carry restrictive terms (non-withdrawable, and hedging them can void profits), withdrawals route mainly through bank wire, and there’s a 3% fee for withdrawing deposits without trading and a $50 annual inactivity fee. The 1:1000 leverage, while a headline feature, is a fast way for inexperienced traders to lose an account.

Who it's for
Here's how to tell if this broker is right for you.
A good fit if you…
- Are an experienced MT4 trader who wants zero-spread or fixed-spread account options
- Run EAs or automated strategies and can use the free VPS
- Want high leverage (up to 1:1000) and understand how to manage it
- Are a money manager who needs PMAM multi-account tools
- Want to test a broker risk-free via the no-deposit bonus and demo first
- Deposit small and withdraw regularly as standard offshore-broker hygiene
Look elsewhere if you…
- Want top-tier regulatory protection for meaningful capital (FCA, ASIC, CySEC direct)
- Are a beginner who needs structured education and simple, safe defaults
- Trade crypto CFDs or need MT5/cTrader/TradingView
- Have low tolerance for withdrawal friction – the complaint history here is real
- Plan to take bonuses without reading every clause of the terms
Fees & platforms
What it costs to trade, and what you'll trade on.
FXGiants runs a tiered fee structure across its range of live account types. Commission arrangements vary by account. Most standard live accounts carry no commission. All trading costs sit within the spread on these accounts. Zero Spread account variants offer tighter spreads in exchange for a per-lot commission. FXGiants charges no broker-level fees on deposits or withdrawals.
Spread Fees at FXGiants
Spreads depend entirely on which of the six account variants you pick. The Live Floating Spread account starts around 1.0 pips on EUR/USD, the Live Fixed Spread account from about 1.2 – 1.3 pips (fixed, so it won't widen at news time), and the STP/ECN No Commission account from roughly 1.7 pips. The sharp pricing sits on the zero accounts: Live Zero Fixed and STP/ECN Zero Spread both quote from 0.0 pips on majors, with costs shifted into commission, while STP/ECN Absolute Zero quotes from around 0.2 pips with no commission. For most traders, the choice is between predictability (fixed), simplicity (floating, commission-free), and lowest headline cost (zero + commission).
Commission Fees at FXGiants
The Live Floating, Live Fixed, and STP/ECN No Commission accounts charge no per-lot commission – costs are built into the spread. The STP/ECN Zero Spread account charges around $3.75 per lot per side (about $7.50 round turn), which is competitive against the typical $6 – 7 round-turn industry standard. The Live Zero Fixed Spread account charges more – roughly $9 per side ($18 round turn) – the premium you pay for fixed zero spreads; active traders should compare their typical instruments across the account grid before choosing. Always confirm the current commission schedule in the client portal, as tiers can change by region.
Swap Fees at FXGiants
Overnight swap charges apply to leveraged positions held past daily rollover, with triple swap on Wednesdays for weekend financing. Rates vary by instrument and direction (long vs short) and are visible per symbol inside MT4 under contract specifications. With leverage up to 1:1000 available, swap costs on large positions can accumulate quickly relative to margin, so swing traders should model holding costs before committing. Day traders who close before rollover pay no swaps.
Deposit and Withdrawal Fees at FXGiants
Deposits are free across all methods: Visa/Mastercard, bank wire, Skrill, Neteller, FasaPay, UnionPay, and Bitcoin, with card and e-wallet deposits crediting near-instantly and wires taking 1 – 3 days. Withdrawals process to e-wallets in about 24 hours and to banks in roughly 2 – 5 business days; intermediary banks may charge their own wire fees (~$25), and small card fees (around €2) can apply. Two charges to plan around: a 3% processing fee applies if you deposit and withdraw without any trading activity, and a $50 annual inactivity fee applies to dormant accounts. If you accept a bonus, remember it's non-withdrawable and is removed when you withdraw – complete KYC verification early to keep first withdrawals smooth, and test the withdrawal cycle with a small amount before scaling your deposit.
FXGiants Trading Platforms
FXGiants is built around MetaTrader 4, delivered on Windows desktop, WebTrader (no download), iOS, and Android. You get the full MT4 feature set: one-click trading, 30+ built-in indicators, custom indicators and templates, and unrestricted Expert Advisor support with hedging and scalping allowed. Serious automation users can claim free VPS hosting with a $5,000+ account balance and regular trading volume, keeping EAs running 24/5 without a home connection. Beyond the core platform, PMAM (Personal Multi-Account Manager) serves money managers running multiple sub-accounts, and an AutoTrade-style copy trading service lets hands-off traders mirror established strategies. Research is covered by Trading Central-powered market insights, daily analysis, and an economic calendar, plus eBooks and video content on the education side. The gap: no MT5, cTrader, or TradingView integration, so traders wanting modern platform alternatives won't find them here.
