Fees

ACY Securities and TopFX both offer low-cost paths, but ACY has the edge on headline pricing for active traders. ACY Securities earns 4.5 out of 5 stars for commissions and fees and ranks #22 out of 63 brokers, while TopFX earns 4 out of 5 stars and ranks #41 out of 63. On ACY’s ProZero account, effective spreads are slightly better than the industry average, and for Australian residents the all-in cost drops to about 0.55 pips on EUR/USD (September 2021). By comparison, TopFX’s RAW account averages about 0.88 pips all-in on EUR/USD (July 2024), which sits around the industry average.

ACY Securities offers three account types: Standard (commission-free, about 1.2 pips on EUR/USD; $50 minimum), ProZero (commission-based, average spreads around 0.25 pips; $200 minimum), and Bespoke (commission-based; $10,000 minimum). Commissions are $6 per round turn on ProZero and $5 per round turn on Bespoke, with a 10‑tier active trader program that can trim costs by 0.5 pips per lot once you trade more than 50 standard lots per month. For clients in Australia, ProZero commission falls to $3 per round turn, bringing the effective cost to roughly 0.55 pips on EUR/USD (September 2021).

TopFX provides two choices: the ZERO account (spread-only) and the RAW account (commission-based). The RAW account charges 2.75 EUR per side (5.50 EUR per round turn) and, based on average spreads of 0.33 pips plus a commission equivalent of 0.55 pips, the all-in cost lands near 0.88 pips on EUR/USD (July 2024). The ZERO account is commission-free but posts higher average spreads of about 1.03 pips on EUR/USD (July 2024). Minimum deposit requirements vary by payment method.

Featured Offers


Range of investments

ACY Securities offers a wider range of investments than TopFX, with 2,200 tradeable symbols versus 655. In forex, ACY lists 66 currency pairs compared with TopFX’s 60, and both brokers let you trade forex via CFDs/spot. Reflecting that depth, ACY Securities earns 4 stars for Range of Investments and ranks #31 out of 63 brokers at ForexBrokers.com, while TopFX scores 3.5 stars and ranks #47.

Neither broker provides access to exchange-traded shares in the U.S. or on international stock exchanges. Both support copy trading and offer cryptocurrency exposure through derivatives, but neither lets you buy actual crypto. If you want a larger instrument list, ACY Securities has the edge; if you mainly need a lean lineup with forex and crypto derivatives, TopFX covers the basics.

Trading platforms and tools

ACY Securities and TopFX both make it easy to get started with a free demo account for paper trading, and each offers Windows desktop and web-based platforms plus copy trading. ACY Securities adds a proprietary, in-house platform, while TopFX does not. Both brokers support MetaTrader 4 (MT4), but only ACY Securities offers MetaTrader 5 (MT5). Neither broker integrates DupliTrade or ZuluTrade.

For charting, both let you place trades directly from charts and include 15 drawing tools; watchlists on each can show 7 columns. In independent reviews of Trading Platforms and Tools, both earned 4 stars, with ACY Securities ranked 42nd and TopFX 46th out of 63 brokers by ForexBrokers.com. If you want MT5 and an extra in-house platform option, ACY Securities has the edge; otherwise, their core platform lineups and tools are closely matched.

Forex trading apps

ACY Securities and TopFX deliver similar mobile trading app experiences on both iPhone and Android. Each app supports price alerts, real-time watchlists, and charting with 30 technical studies. You can draw trendlines, switch among multiple time frames (like intraday, daily, and weekly), and your chart drawings auto-save. One limitation for both: watchlist symbol syncing isn’t available, so lists you build on mobile won’t sync with the web platform.

Both brokers earn 4 out of 5 stars for their mobile trading apps. However, in ForexBrokers.com’s Mobile Trading Apps category, ACY Securities ranks #41 out of 63 brokers, ahead of TopFX at #52. Given the near-identical features, the deciding factors may be personal preference for app feel and the broader offering you need beyond the app itself.

Market research

ACY Securities and TopFX take different paths with market research. ACY Securities delivers daily market commentary and an economic calendar, but it doesn’t include top-tier forex news or third‑party tools like Autochartist or Trading Central, and it has no sentiment tool. TopFX lacks daily commentary, yet it offers an economic calendar, real-time forex news from leading sources (such as Bloomberg, Reuters, or Dow Jones), plus Autochartist and Trading Central, along with a sentiment tool that shows long vs. short positioning. ACY Securities does not include TipRanks or Acuity Trading; for TopFX, availability of TipRanks and Acuity Trading is not specified.

According to ForexBrokers.com, ACY Securities earns 3.5 out of 5 stars for Research and ranks 46th of 63 brokers, while TopFX earns 3 out of 5 stars and ranks 61st of 63. In short, pick ACY Securities if you value daily commentary, or choose TopFX if you want top-tier news, Autochartist, Trading Central, and sentiment data—even without daily commentary.

Beginners and education

For beginners seeking trading education, ACY Securities clearly offers more than TopFX. ACY provides a dedicated forex and CFD education hub with at least 10 learning pieces, runs client webinars at least once a month, and keeps a searchable archive of past sessions. It also hosts 10+ beginner-friendly video lessons that explain core trading concepts. By contrast, TopFX does not meet the 10-piece threshold for forex/CFD education, does not run monthly client webinars, has no archived webinar library, and lacks a beginner video catalog.

Neither broker currently offers a large advanced video series or an investor dictionary. That said, ACY Securities holds a 3.5 out of 5 rating for Education and ranks #43 out of 63 brokers on ForexBrokers.com, while TopFX earns 3 out of 5 and ranks #62. If you’re just starting out and want structured, ongoing content—especially webinars and beginner videos—ACY Securities is the stronger pick over TopFX.
