Questrade vs FXGT.com 2025

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

Questrade, established in 2000, offers a reliable platform for traders, with a strong regulatory backing that enhances its credibility. While it is not publicly traded or a bank, the online broker holds two Tier-1 licenses, which contribute to a Trust Score rating of 86 out of 99, classifying it as a trusted broker according to ForexBrokers.com. This high level of regulatory compliance reassures users of its safety and reliability in the trading landscape.

On the other hand, FXGT.com, founded in 2019, presents a newer option for traders but has lower regulatory backing. Also not publicly traded or a bank, FXGT.com holds one Tier-1 license and one Tier-2 license, resulting in a ForexBrokers.com Trust Score of 69. This score places it in the high-risk category, suggesting potential traders proceed with caution compared to more established and trusted options like Questrade.

Fees

Comparing commissions and fees, Questrade lists a target spread of 1.9 pips on EUR/USD, which is high versus the industry average. For FXGT.com, average spread data isn’t available, so a direct spread comparison is not possible, making it harder to gauge day-to-day trading costs from published figures alone.

On expert scoring, FXGT.com earns 3.5 out of 5 stars for commissions and fees and ranks #57 out of 63 brokers at ForexBrokers.com. Questrade earns 3 out of 5 stars and ranks #59 out of 63.

In short, Questrade’s stated EUR/USD spread suggests pricier trades, while FXGT.com edges ahead in ratings despite lacking average spread data. If fees are your priority, consider checking each broker’s live spreads and any extra charges—such as commissions, swaps, and account fees—before you choose.

Market research

Comparing market research, Questrade offers more built-in tools than FXGT.com. Questrade includes Autochartist for pattern ideas, Trading Central for technical and fundamental insights, TipRanks for analyst-driven stock research, and an economic calendar. It does not provide daily market commentary, and it’s not specified here whether it carries top-tier news feeds. FXGT.com provides a sentiment tool that shows the ratio of long vs. short positions and an economic calendar, but it lacks Autochartist, Trading Central, daily market commentary, and top-tier news from sources like Bloomberg, Reuters, or Dow Jones. Both brokers do not use Acuity Trading tools.

For overall research quality, Questrade is rated 3.5 out of 5 stars and ranks 52nd out of 63 brokers on ForexBrokers.com, while FXGT.com is rated 3 stars and ranks 57th.

Neither broker hosts monthly client webinars, and neither offers 10 or more advanced videos. It’s also not specified whether either broker has 10 or more forex- or CFD-specific lessons.

Independent ratings back up the gap: Questrade scores 3.5 out of 5 for Education and ranks 36th out of 63 brokers on ForexBrokers.com, while FXGT.com scores 3 out of 5 and ranks 61st.
