CFDs are complex instruments and come with a high risk of losing money rapidly due to leverage. Between 51% and 89% of retail investor accounts lose money when trading CFDs. You should consider whether you understand how CFDs work and whether you can afford to take the high risk of losing your money.

Regulation

ACY Securities and FXGT.com are both online brokers, with ACY Securities founded in 2011 and FXGT.com starting operations in 2019. Neither of these brokers is publicly traded or operates as a bank. In terms of regulatory standing, ACY Securities holds one Tier-1 license and carries a Trust Score of 75 according to ForexBrokers.com, placing it in the average risk category. This indicates a balanced level of trustworthiness in the industry.

FXGT.com, on the other hand, holds one Tier-1 license and an additional Tier-2 license, boosting its regulatory credentials. However, it has a lower Trust Score of 69, categorizing it as high risk. Despite the extra Tier-2 license, potential clients might weigh this alongside its higher risk rating when considering FXGT.com as their broker of choice.

Fees

ACY Securities stands out on commissions and fees with three account choices to fit different budgets. The Standard account is commission-free and averaged 1.2 pips on EUR/USD in September 2021 with a $50 minimum deposit, though its pricing is slightly above the industry average. For lower trading costs, the ProZero ($200 minimum) and Bespoke ($10,000 minimum) accounts use raw spreads that averaged about 0.25 pips in September 2021, plus a round turn commission of $6 and $5 respectively. In Australia, the ProZero commission falls to $3 per round turn, trimming the effective spread to about 0.55 pips, and the ProZero’s effective spreads were slightly better than the industry average. Active traders can also use a 10-tier program that can cut costs by 0.5 pips per lot once monthly volume exceeds 50 standard lots. For Commissions and Fees, ACY Securities is rated 4.5/5 stars and ranked #22 out of 63 brokers by ForexBrokers.com.

FXGT.com provides limited transparency on commissions and fees because average spread data is not available, making direct comparisons difficult. According to ForexBrokers.com’s Commissions and Fees category, FXGT.com is rated 3.5/5 stars and ranks #57 out of 63 brokers. If you prioritize clear, potentially lower all-in costs — especially as an active trader or if you reside in Australia — ACY Securities generally offers the stronger value, while FXGT.com may appeal if you are less concerned about published spread statistics.

Featured Offers


Range of investments

ACY Securities offers a wider range of markets than FXGT.com. You can trade forex as CFDs or spot at both brokers, but ACY lists 2,200 instruments and 66 forex pairs, while FXGT.com has 117 instruments and 53 pairs. For Range of Investments, ACY Securities is rated 4 out of 5 stars and ranks #31 out of 63 brokers on ForexBrokers.com, compared with FXGT.com’s 3 out of 5 stars and a #62 ranking. Both platforms also support copy trading.

If you want to buy actual exchange-traded stocks, neither broker offers that on U.S. or international exchanges, so you can’t purchase shares like Apple or Vodafone directly. Likewise, neither lets you buy real cryptocurrency, though both provide cryptocurrency derivatives. Overall, ACY Securities suits traders who want more symbols and currency pairs, while FXGT.com covers the basics with a smaller lineup.

Trading platforms and tools

ACY Securities and FXGT.com both let you practice with a free demo account and trade on MetaTrader 4 and MetaTrader 5. Each supports a Windows desktop download and a web-based platform, and both include copy trading. A key difference is that ACY Securities also offers its own proprietary platform, while FXGT.com does not. Neither broker connects to DupliTrade or ZuluTrade.

For charting and trade execution, both brokers let you place orders directly from the chart and include the usual library of technical indicators (exact counts not specified). FXGT.com lists more drawing tools (23) than ACY Securities (15), while ACY Securities offers more watchlist fields (7 vs 5). Based on ForexBrokers.com’s Trading Platforms and Tools assessments, both earn 4 stars, with ACY Securities ranked 42nd out of 63 brokers and FXGT.com ranked 57th.

Forex trading apps

ACY Securities and FXGT.com both offer full-featured mobile trading apps for iPhone and Android. Each app supports real-time watchlists with quotes, price alerts, 30 built-in technical studies, trendline drawing, multiple time frames (intraday to weekly), and auto-saving of chart annotations. The key difference is watchlist syncing: FXGT.com syncs symbols between the mobile app and your online account, while ACY Securities does not.

In independent reviews, ACY Securities earns 4 stars and ranks #41 out of 63 brokers for Mobile Trading Apps on ForexBrokers.com, while FXGT.com scores 3.5 stars and ranks #59. If you value a higher-rated mobile experience, ACY Securities has the edge; if seamless watchlist syncing matters most, FXGT.com is the better fit.

Market research

Comparing ACY Securities vs FXGT.com for market research: ACY stands out for offering daily market commentary, while FXGT.com does not. Both brokers provide an economic calendar, but neither offers top-tier forex news feeds (such as Bloomberg, Reuters, or Dow Jones), nor do they integrate popular research suites like Autochartist, Trading Central, or Acuity Trading. FXGT.com does include a sentiment tool that shows the ratio of long vs short positions across instruments, which ACY Securities lacks. TipRanks research is not available at ACY Securities, and it’s not specified for FXGT.com.

Based on ForexBrokers.com’s evaluations, ACY Securities earns 3.5 stars for Research and ranks 46th out of 63 brokers, while FXGT.com receives 3 stars and ranks 57th. In short, choose ACY if you value daily commentary to guide your trading day; pick FXGT.com if a built-in sentiment gauge is more important to your strategy.

Beginners and education

ACY Securities vs FXGT.com for beginner education: ACY Securities offers more ways to learn forex and CFDs from scratch. ACY provides at least 10 forex/CFD learning pieces, runs online educational webinars at least once a month, and has 10+ beginner-focused video lessons. It also keeps a searchable archive of recorded webinars so you can catch up anytime. By contrast, FXGT.com does not meet the 10-piece threshold for forex/CFD education, does not run monthly educational webinars, and does not offer 10 beginner videos, nor a searchable webinar archive.

Both brokers lack a large set of advanced video lessons for experienced traders. However, FXGT.com does include an investor dictionary with 50+ terms, while ACY Securities does not—handy for quick definitions but not a replacement for structured lessons. Overall, ACY Securities earns 3.5/5 stars for Education and ranks 43rd out of 63 brokers on ForexBrokers.com, while FXGT.com scores 3/5 stars and ranks 61st. For beginners who want videos and webinars to learn forex and CFDs, ACY Securities has the clear edge; if you mainly want a glossary, FXGT.com can help.
