Trustworthiness & Regulation

* On October 17, 2024

TopFX is regulated by CYSEC in Cyprus and the FSA in Seychelles. While this provides strong protections for European clients (such as segregated funds and an investor compensation scheme), global clients, particularly under the FSA, don’t receive the same level of protection.

TopFX has been operating since 2010, giving it solid experience in the industry. Even so, always remember that regulation doesn’t fully eliminate risks.

Company	Licenses & Regulations	Segregated Client Money	Deposit Compensation Scheme	Negative Balance Protection	Rebates	Max. Leverage Retail Clients
TopFX Ltd	Cyprus - CY CYSEC		up to €20,000			30 : 1
TopFX Global Ltd	Seychelles - SC FSA					1000 : 1

Deposit Insurance

TopFX offers deposit insurance through the Cyprus Investor Compensation Fund for clients under CYSEC regulation. This guarantees a payout up to a certain limit if the broker collapses.

However, clients trading under the FSA in Seychelles don’t benefit from the same insurance, as Seychelles regulations don’t mandate this kind of protection.

Spreads and Costs

* On October 17, 2024

TopFX offers competitive spreads for Forex and crypto, while the spreads for commodities and indices are slightly higher. They also charge commissions on certain account types, so it’s important to check the full cost structure when choosing an account.

Swap Rates/Financing Fees

Swap rates apply when you hold a position overnight. TopFX offers swap rates similar to other brokers. Positive swap rates can be an advantage, but negative swap rates can increase costs, especially on long-term trades.

Other Fees

TopFX charges fees outside of spreads and commissions. These include withdrawal fees, which vary based on the payment method, and inactivity fees if your account is dormant for a period.

Fee Type	Amount
Withdrawal Fees	Varies by method
Inactivity Fees	Yes

Islamic/Swap-free Accounts

Yes, TopFX offers swap-free accounts for clients who follow Sharia law. However, eligibility criteria may apply, so it’s best to contact the broker directly for details.

Comparison to other Brokers

* On October 17, 2024

TopFX is well-regulated and offers competitive spreads, making it a good option for traders. However, its protection for non-EU clients is not as strong as brokers regulated in stricter jurisdictions like the UK or Australia. While TopFX has a wide range of tradable instruments and high leverage, it has a smaller user base compared to top brokers like IC Markets or Pepperstone.

Trading Platforms

Platform	Automated Trading	Programming Language
MetaTrader 4 (Desktop, Mobile)	Yes	MQL4 (Moderately Easy)
cTrader (Desktop, Mobile, Web)	Yes	C# (Advanced)

TopFX offers both MetaTrader 4 and cTrader, two of the most popular platforms. MetaTrader 4 is beginner-friendly with strong charting tools and automated trading features using MQL4. cTrader, on the other hand, is more advanced and supports automated trading in the C# language, offering more customization for experienced traders.

Available Instruments

Asset Class	Number of Instruments
Forex CFD	55+
Crypto CFD	13
Stock CFD	599
Stock Index CFD	14
Commodities CFD	8
ETFs CFD	18

TopFX offers over 55 Forex pairs, 13 cryptocurrencies, and nearly 600 stock CFDs. As CFDs, traders speculate on price movements without owning the underlying asset. Be mindful of leverage, which can boost profits but also increase losses.

Leverage

TopFX offers leverage up to 1000:1 for clients under FSA regulation, while European clients are limited to 30:1 due to EU laws. The leverage depends on the asset and regulatory jurisdiction, giving traders flexibility to manage risk.

Prohibited Countries

TopFX doesn’t accept clients from certain countries like the United States, Canada, and Iran. Be sure to check the broker’s website for the most up-to-date list of restricted areas.

Education

TopFX offers a variety of educational resources aimed at helping traders improve their skills. These include webinars, trading guides, and platform tutorials. However, the content can be quite basic and may not be enough for advanced traders looking for in-depth material.

Promotions

TopFX doesn’t offer many promotions or bonuses, focusing more on its core services. However, it occasionally runs special offers for new clients, so it's worth checking their website for any current promotions.

What are TopFX rebates?

TopFX rebates are a portion of the transaction cost that is paid back to the client on each trade, resulting in a lower spread and improved win ratio. For example, if your rebate is 1 pip and the spread is 3 pips, then your net spread is only 2 pips.

Many traders initially believe there must be higher costs elsewhere to compensate, however they soon find there is no catch and Forex rebates truly reduce the costs of the transaction and improve their bottom line.

How do TopFX rebates work?

When you link a new or existing forex trading account to us the broker pays us part of their spread or commission profit for every trade you make as compensation for referring a customer to them. We then share the majority of our revenue with you, paying you a cash rebate for each trade you make as thank you for signing up with us.

Unlike some of our competitors your spreads will never increase as a result of using our service! The only difference is: as our client you earn extra cash per trade, making trading through us more profitable than opening direct with the broker. Founded in 2007, we are the original and leading provider of forex rebates. We pay rebates to over 100,000 accounts and traders love our helpful 24 hour live chat, telephone and email support.

Are TopFX rebates a scam; do my spreads increase?

TopFX rebates paid by legitimate rebate providers are not a scam, however scams do exist. The most common scam is a rebate provider that marks up the spread or commission in order to pay a higher rebate than competitors. Many brokers do allow a referring party, or rebate provider, to markup costs to traders they refer. Obviously this defeats the purpose of the service provided by the rebate provider and thus jeopardizes the viability of the rebate provider’s reputation and business, so a reliable provider wouldn’t consider this. Besides this, certain rebate providers may not pay on time, or not at all. This is why it’s important to choose a reliable provider.

When working with a trustworthy rebate provider, there is no ‘catch’. It is more beneficial to a trader’s financial position to work with a rebate provider than solely with the forex broker.

Are there any other benefits to signing up for TopFX rebates?

It depends on the rebate provider. Due to our unique relationship with many brokers, we have often mediated between brokers and clients in order to help successfully resolve client issues, including clients who are having withdrawal issues. Brokers are often very fast to respond to us, since we typically have many clients with them. Our knowledgeable support team is available 24 hours per day in 8 native languages & 23 total languages for any questions. We also offer trading tools, calculators, reviews and a robust forex education section.

How are forex rebates paid?

Because we deal with so many traders in so many different countries and serve 23 languages we have to cover a wide array of options. Here’s what we offer:

Forex rebate options vary per broker:

Monthly cash back	Payments are credited and sent automatically by the 12 of the month following the month rebates are earned in.
Spread or commission reduction	The trader actually receives reduced commissions and/or spreads. This is an exciting option offered by some of our top brokers.
Paid direct to brokerage account	Cashback is credited directly to the trader’s brokerage account, typically between 1-7 days after the trade is closed. This is another exciting options offered by some of our top brokers.

In the case of the ‘Monthly cash back’ rebate option, monthly payments can be paid via bank wire, Paypal, Skrill, Sticpay, and Neteller. Some payment methods such as bank wire carries fees and often traders set a custom minimum payment amount in order to accumulate rebates and withdraw their rebates less often than monthly.
