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.

Methodology
For our 2021 Forex Broker Review we assessed, rated, and ranked 27 international forex brokers. Each broker was graded on 108 different variables and, in total, over 50,000 words of research were produced.
While encouraged, broker participation was optional. Each broker had the opportunity to complete an in-depth data profile and provide executive time (live in person or over the web) for an annual update meeting.
All data submitted by brokers is hand-checked for accuracy. Ultimately, our rigorous data validation process yields an error rate of less than .1% each year, providing site visitors quality data they can trust. Learn more about how we test.
