These two brokers distinguish themselves primarily through their regulatory credentials. TMGM holds two Tier-1 licenses, which are seen as highly trusted according to ForexBrokers.com.

Meanwhile, ACY Securities receives a score of 75, marking it as posing an average risk to users. None of the brokers possess any Tier-2 licenses. The regulatory landscape and trust scores can serve as critical factors for clients weighing their options between TMGM and ACY Securities.

Fees

Comparing commissions and fees, ACY Securities edges out TMGM on both ratings and rank: ACY Securities earns 4.5/5 stars and ranks #22 of 63 for Commissions and Fees, while TMGM earns 4/5 stars and ranks #37 of 63. Both offer multiple account types, but ACY’s pricing structure and discounts can make it cheaper for active traders and Australian residents.

TMGM’s costs depend on account choice: the Classic account is spread-only, while the Edge account adds a small commission of $3.50 per side ($7 round turn) on top of typically low spreads and no requotes. A drawback is that TMGM does not publish recent average spread data for EUR/USD, which makes total cost comparisons harder. Islamic (swap-free) trading is available only on the Edge account.

ACY Securities provides a commission-free Standard account (average EUR/USD spread 1.2 pips in Sep 2021, $50 minimum deposit) and two commission-based options with tighter pricing: ProZero and Bespoke averaged about 0.25 pips in Sep 2021, with commissions of $6 RT (ProZero, $200 minimum) and $5 RT (Bespoke, $10,000 minimum). In Australia, ProZero’s commission falls to $3 RT, bringing effective spreads to about 0.55 pips (Sep 2021). An active trader program with 10 tiers can shave a further 0.5 pips per lot for those trading over 50 standard lots monthly. In short, ACY Securities tends to be cheaper for higher volumes or Australian clients, whereas TMGM’s Edge account offers a straightforward low-commission setup but lacks recent average spread transparency.

Featured Offers


Range of investments

TMGM and ACY Securities both support forex trading and offer copy trading. TMGM stands out with a much larger catalog of tradeable symbols (about 12,000) compared with ACY Securities (about 2,200). If your priority is forex pairs, ACY has a slight edge with 66 versus TMGM’s 62. For cryptocurrencies, both brokers let you trade crypto derivatives but do not offer the ability to buy actual coins.

For Range of Investments, TMGM earns 4.5 out of 5 stars and ranks #18 out of 63 brokers on ForexBrokers.com, while ACY Securities scores 4 stars and ranks #31. In short, TMGM suits traders who want more overall symbols to choose from, whereas ACY may appeal if you want a few more forex pairs.

Trading platforms and tools

TMGM and ACY Securities both make it easy to start with a free demo account. Each supports MetaTrader 4 (MT4) and MetaTrader 5 (MT5) on the web and as a Windows desktop download, and both offer copy trading. You can place trades directly from the chart, use 15 drawing tools for charting, and organize watch lists with 7 fields. ACY also provides its own proprietary platform, while TMGM focuses on third-party platforms. Neither broker connects to DupliTrade or ZuluTrade.

For trading platforms and tools, both earn 4 out of 5 stars from ForexBrokers.com, with ACY Securities ranked 42nd out of 63 brokers and TMGM ranked 49th. If you want a broker-built platform alongside MetaTrader, ACY stands out; if you simply want MT4/MT5 with web and desktop access, both brokers are closely matched. In either case, you can practice risk-free with a virtual demo account before going live.

Forex trading apps

TMGM and ACY Securities both check the key boxes for mobile trading. Each offers an iPhone app and an Android app, along with price alerts and real-time watchlists. Their charting tools are on par: 30 technical studies, trendline drawing, and multiple time frames, with drawings auto-saved. One shared drawback is watchlist symbol syncing—your mobile watchlists do not sync with your online account on either broker.

In terms of quality scores, both apps earn 4 out of 5 stars. However, ForexBrokers.com ranks ACY Securities slightly higher at #41 out of 63 brokers, compared with TMGM at #48. If you want a small edge based on third-party rankings, ACY Securities has it. If you’re focused on core features like alerts, charting, and platform availability, both apps deliver a very similar experience.

Market research

TMGM and ACY Securities both cover the basics for market research, offering daily market commentary and an economic calendar. Each earns 3.5 out of 5 stars for Research from ForexBrokers.com, though ACY Securities is ranked higher in the category (#46 of 63) than TMGM (#54 of 63).

TMGM provides more built-in tools and news: forex headlines from major outlets such as Bloomberg, Reuters, or Dow Jones, Trading Central analytics, a sentiment gauge that shows long/short positioning, and extra insights via Acuity Trading (e.g., Signal Centre). ACY Securities does not offer those specific items. Neither broker includes Autochartist or TipRanks. If you value integrated third-party research and live news, TMGM has the edge; if you mainly want commentary and a calendar, either broker will do, with ACY’s higher category ranking a potential tie-breaker.

Beginners and education

When comparing TMGM and ACY Securities for educational resources aimed at beginners, ACY Securities stands out as a strong choice. ACY Securities provides more than ten educational materials focused on forex or CFDs, such as articles, videos, and archived webinars. They also host live educational webinars monthly and offer a wide selection of beginner-level videos tailored to individuals new to trading. In contrast, TMGM falls short in these areas, lacking a robust collection of beginner-specific resources and monthly webinars, although they do provide a searchable archive of past webinars.

Both TMGM and ACY Securities share some common ground in offering searchable archives for past webinars, allowing users to revisit educational content at their convenience. However, TMGM offers an investor dictionary with more than 50 investing terms, which ACY Securities does not provide. Despite the difference in offerings, both brokers receive an education rating of 3.5 out of 5 stars.
