Residents of Spain can trade forex and CFD products. Forex brokers are not required to become authorised by the Comisión Nacional del Mercado de Valores (CNMV) to accept residents of Spain as customers. The English translation of "Comisión Nacional del Mercado de Valores" is National Securities Market Commission.
The Comisión Nacional del Mercado de Valores is the financial regulatory body in Spain. Website: http://www.cnmv.es/. We recommend residents of Spain follow the CNMV on Twitter: https://twitter.com/CNMV_Medios.
The CNMV was established in 1988 and is responsible for ensuring stability and transparency in the financial markets. For a historical breakdown, here's a link to the Comisión Nacional del Mercado de Valores webpage on Wikipedia.
CFDs are complex instruments and come with a high risk of losing money rapidly due to leverage. Between 65% and 82% 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.Best Forex Brokers Spain

Each broker was graded on 108 different variables, including our proprietary Trust Score algorithm. This innovative scoring system ranks the level of trustworthiness for each broker based on factors such as licenses, regulation and corporate structure (read about Trust Score here).
As part of our annual review process, all brokers had the opportunity to provide updates and key milestones and complete an in-depth data profile, which we hand-checked for accuracy.
Ultimately, our rigorous data validation process yields an error rate of less than .1% each year, providing site visitors with quality data they can trust. Learn more about how we test.
