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

FXCM, founded in 1999, and DooPrime, established in 2014, are both non-banking entities in the online brokerage space. FXCM stands out for being publicly traded, a feature not shared by DooPrime, which remains a private company. Both brokers hold four Tier-1 licenses, indicating a high level of trust from regulatory authorities. However, FXCM edges ahead by also holding two Tier-2 licenses, adding another layer of credibility to its regulatory portfolio. This regulatory strength is reflected in FXCM's outstanding ForexBrokers.com Trust Score of 95, placing it in the highly trusted category and surpassing DooPrime’s score of 83, which is still considered trusted.

Fees

Comparing commissions and fees, FXCM earns 4 out of 5 stars and ranks #25 out of 63 brokers for this category, while DooPrime earns 3 out of 5 stars and ranks #60 out of 63. FXCM’s pricing is slightly above the industry average overall, but it provides clearer cost data than DooPrime, which does not publish average spread figures—making FXCM easier to evaluate for typical trading costs.

At FXCM, the time-weighted average EUR/USD spread in May 2024 was 0.78 pips for EU, U.K., and Australia clients, and 1.38 pips for accounts under its St. Vincent and the Grenadines entity. Commission-based accounts averaged 0.28 pips (excluding commissions) in May 2024; once typical commissions are included, the effective spread was about 0.74 pips per round turn. FXCM also offers active-trader pricing: its Active Trader Rebate Program (not available in the U.K. or EU) pays $5 to $25 per million traded when you meet monthly volume thresholds. In regions like the U.K., a separate active-pricing setup can drop commissions to $2.50 per side ($5 round turn) with a $25,000 balance and $50 million in monthly volume. As with most brokers, spreads can widen at rollover or during volatile markets.

DooPrime does not provide average spread data, so it’s harder to estimate real-world trading costs across account types and regions. That lack of transparency helps explain its lower score: 3 out of 5 stars and a #60 of 63 ranking for commissions and fees. If you’re comparing the two, FXCM offers clearer pricing and generally more predictable costs, especially for traders who can qualify for active-trader discounts.

Comparing FXCM vs DooPrime for market research, both brokers deliver daily market commentary, forex news from top-tier sources like Bloomberg, Reuters, and Dow Jones, and an economic calendar that tracks upcoming events. In independent ratings, FXCM scores 4.5 out of 5 stars for Research and ranks #11 of 63 brokers at ForexBrokers.com, while DooPrime earns 4 stars and ranks #30.
