In this head to head comparison of DooPrime vs Trade Nation, we will compare the trading platforms, mobile apps, range of investments, costs, market research, and more. Let's dive in.
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.
DooPrime and Trade Nation are both online brokers that were founded in 2014 and are not publicly traded or registered as banks. Despite these similarities, they differ in terms of regulatory licensing and trust ratings. DooPrime holds four Tier-1 licenses, a mark of high trust according to ForexBrokers.com standards, while Trade Nation holds two. Additionally, Trade Nation has one Tier-2 license, contributing to its trusted status.
When it comes to trust ratings, Trade Nation scores slightly higher with an 85 out of 99, compared to DooPrime's 83, both placing them in the 'trusted' category by ForexBrokers.com. These ratings reflect their regulatory compliance and the level of reliability investors can expect. With both brokers falling in the 'trusted' category, questions of choice may revolve more around their service offerings and personal preferences rather than trustworthiness alone.

Comparing commissions and fees, Trade Nation clearly outshines DooPrime for cost transparency and consistency. DooPrime holds a 3/5 star rating and ranks #60 out of 63 brokers in this category, while Trade Nation earns 5/5 stars and ranks #7 out of 63.
DooPrime’s pricing picture is limited because average spread data isn’t available. With no typical spread figures to benchmark, it’s harder to estimate day‑to‑day trading costs. Its 3-star rating and #60 ranking suggest only mid-pack competitiveness on fees.
Trade Nation, by contrast, offers fixed spreads on its proprietary TN Trader platform and variable spreads on MetaTrader. EUR/USD is listed at a fixed 0.6 pips on TN Trader, though spreads briefly widen during the daily rollover (up to about 1.4 pips), putting the real-world average near 1 pip across the day. Account choices include two MetaTrader options—a commission-based Raw Spread account charging $3.50 per side ($7 round trip) per standard lot and a commission-free account—and the TN Trader account, which generally delivers the lowest all-in costs. This structure helps explain its 5-star score and #7 ranking for commissions and fees.

DooPrime offers a wider range of investments than Trade Nation. DooPrime lists about 10,000 tradeable symbols versus Trade Nation’s 1,000, and provides 60 forex pairs compared with Trade Nation’s 46. A major difference is share dealing: DooPrime lets clients buy exchange-traded securities on both U.S. and international exchanges (for example, Apple on NASDAQ or Vodafone in London), while Trade Nation does not offer direct share ownership.
Both brokers support forex trading as CFDs or spot and both include copy trading. Neither supports buying actual cryptocurrency, but Trade Nation does offer crypto via CFDs, whereas DooPrime does not. Reflecting these product lineups, ForexBrokers.com rates DooPrime 5 stars for Range of Investments and ranks it 13th out of 63 brokers, while Trade Nation earns 3.5 stars and ranks 39th.

Dive deeper: Best Copy Trading Platforms.
DooPrime and Trade Nation both check the core boxes for platform access and ease of entry. Each broker offers a free demo account, a proprietary trading platform, a Windows desktop download, a web-based platform, and copy trading. Both also support MetaTrader 4 (MT4). Where they differ: DooPrime adds MetaTrader 5 (MT5), while Trade Nation does not. DooPrime also lets you place trades directly from charts, a shortcut Trade Nation does not currently provide.
In independent testing for Trading Platforms and Tools, both brokers earned 4 out of 5 stars. However, DooPrime ranked #25 out of 63 brokers on ForexBrokers.com, compared with Trade Nation at #45. If you value MT5 access and chart trading, DooPrime may offer a slight edge; if you’re platform-agnostic, both are easy to try via their demo accounts.

DooPrime and Trade Nation both deliver mobile trading apps for iPhone and Android, with price alerts to track forex and stock moves on the go. Each app supports drawing trendlines on charts and automatically saves those drawings, so your technical work stays put between sessions. That means both options cover the core tools most traders want in a mobile trading app.
Key differences appear in charting depth and watchlists. Trade Nation offers 99 technical studies and syncs watchlists across devices, while DooPrime provides 30 studies and does not sync watchlists. Despite those perks, both apps earn 4 out of 5 stars, and DooPrime holds the higher placement in ForexBrokers.com’s Mobile Trading Apps rankings (#25 of 63) versus Trade Nation (#46 of 63). If you prize a larger indicator set and watchlist syncing, Trade Nation stands out; if overall standing matters more, DooPrime’s higher ranking may sway you.

DooPrime and Trade Nation both deliver daily market commentary and streaming forex news from top-tier sources like Bloomberg, Reuters, or Dow Jones. Neither broker offers Autochartist. DooPrime stands out with Trading Central analytics and an in-platform economic calendar, but it lacks a sentiment tool. Trade Nation does not include Trading Central or an economic calendar, yet it provides a sentiment gauge showing long/short positioning and offers Acuity Trading tools (e.g., Signal Centre). TipRanks availability is not specified for DooPrime and not offered at Trade Nation.
In independent testing by ForexBrokers.com, DooPrime earns 4 stars for research (ranked 30 of 63), while Trade Nation scores 3.5 stars (ranked 43 of 63). If you want Trading Central insights and a built-in calendar, DooPrime is the stronger fit. If you prefer trading ideas powered by Acuity and a clear view of crowd positioning, Trade Nation may suit you better.

If you’re new to trading, both DooPrime and Trade Nation make learning straightforward. Each broker offers at least ten beginner-friendly videos and another ten or more advanced videos, so you can move from basics to strategy at your own pace. Their on-demand libraries are helpful for understanding forex and CFD concepts, but note that neither broker runs monthly educational webinars—live, interactive learning is limited.
When it comes to overall quality, DooPrime has the edge for education: it earns 4 stars and ranks 25th out of 63 brokers for Education at ForexBrokers.com, while Trade Nation scores 3.5 stars and ranks 41st. Pick DooPrime if you want a stronger all-around education lineup; choose Trade Nation if clear, self-paced video lessons for forex and CFD trading meet your needs.
