Trade Nation vs FXPrimus 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

Trade Nation and FXPrimus, both established online brokers, vary notably in their regulatory standings. Founded in 2014, Trade Nation is equipped with two Tier-1 licenses and one Tier-2 license, aligning with a Trust Score of 85 that ranks it within the trusted category according to ForexBrokers.com. It isn't publicly traded nor operates as a bank, yet it maintains a strong regulatory presence in the financial market.

On the other hand, FXPrimus, founded five years earlier in 2009, holds one Tier-1 license and doesn’t hold any Tier-2 licenses, which contributes to its Trust Score of 71—placing it at an average risk level. Like Trade Nation, FXPrimus isn't listed on a stock exchange and does not function as a bank. While both brokers show commitment to regulation, Trade Nation holds a stronger trust factor in the realm of online trading.

Fees

Trade Nation makes its commissions and fees easy to understand. On its TN Trader web platform, spreads are fixed across markets; EUR/USD is listed at 0.6 pip for most of the day, widening for about an hour during the daily rollover (often up to 1.4 pips), which brings the typical average closer to about 1 pip. On MetaTrader, you can choose a commission-free account (higher spreads) or a Raw Spread account that adds a $3.50 commission per side per standard lot ($7 round trip). For Commissions and Fees, Trade Nation is rated 5/5 stars and ranks #7 out of 63 brokers (ForexBrokers.com).

FXPrimus does not publish average spread data, so its day-to-day trading costs are harder to compare head-to-head. Based on available scoring, FXPrimus is rated 4/5 stars for Commissions and Fees and ranks #43 out of 63 brokers (ForexBrokers.com).

Bottom line: if you want predictable pricing and clear costs, Trade Nation’s fixed spreads and transparent commission options stand out, with the flexibility to trade either commission-free or with raw spreads on MetaTrader. With FXPrimus, you’ll likely need to check live quotes and your specific account terms to judge pricing, given the lack of published average spreads.

For currency traders, Trade Nation offers 46 forex pairs versus 42 at FXPrimus.
