Libertex Review
CFDs are complex instruments and come with a high risk of losing money rapidly due to leverage. 82% of retail investor accounts lose money when trading CFDs with this provider. You should consider whether you understand how CFDs work and whether you can afford to take the high risk of losing your money.
Libertex is a low-cost CFD broker built around forex and crypto, with a choice of three trading platforms. I traded across its proprietary web platform and mobile app, and both MetaTrader 4 and MetaTrader 5, testing the pricing, working through the order ticket field by field, and following its Trading Central signals from watchlist to fill.
What emerged is a broker that prices well and covers a lot of ground, then stops short of teaching you what to do with it. The crypto lineup is one of the deepest I have tested, and the screeners and signals are the tools I reached for most. Education is thin, in-house research runs to a few pieces a week, and the mobile app cannot draw a trend line. Libertex suits traders who arrive already knowing what they want to trade.

Trust Score
Developed by ForexBrokers.com and in use for nearly 10 years, Trust Score is a proprietary rating system powered by a range of unique quantitative and qualitative metrics, including each company’s number of regulatory licenses. Trust Scores range from 1 to 99 (the higher a broker’s rating, the better). Learn more.
Is Libertex safe?
Libertex is considered Average Risk, with an overall Trust Score of 79 out of 99. Libertex is not publicly traded and does not operate a bank, but is authorised by one Tier-1 regulators (Highly Trusted), one Tier-2 regulators (Trusted), zero Tier-3 regulator (Average Risk), and two Tier-4 regulators (High Risk). Libertex is authorised by the following Tier-1 regulators: European Union via MiFID .
It is worth checking which Libertex entity holds your account before you fund, as the group also operates under the FSCA of South Africa and offshore regulators, including the FSC of Mauritius and the VFSC of Vanuatu, where client protections differ from those under its EU license.

Range of investments
Libertex covers the major asset classes through CFDs, and I counted 1,573 tradeable symbols across its platforms. The core is 46 forex pairs, sitting alongside more than 1,000 CFDs spanning indices, crypto, commodities, shares, and ETFs. Commodity and index exposure is well covered, from gold, oil, and silver to the DAX, Dow Jones, FTSE, Nikkei, and S&P 500.
With over a thousand CFDs on offer, you will find the more popular instruments, but traders hunting for specific exchanges or niche listings will come up short against the broadest brokers I review. The equity lineup is deep for a CFD broker, at 1,313 stock CFDs and 23 ETFs, though these are contracts for difference rather than the underlying shares (the exception is the separate Invest account, which trades exchange-traded equities).
Cryptocurrency: The crypto lineup is where Libertex separates itself from most peers. I found 109 cryptocurrency CFDs, including meme coins and more exotic tokens, which is well above the industry average and trails only a handful of brokers such as eToro, Capital.com, and Eightcap. These are crypto CFDs, not underlying coins, and they are not available to retail traders from any broker's U.K. entity.
Options and other products: Beyond spot CFDs, Libertex offers more than 25 vanilla options, with puts and calls on popular assets and one forex pair (EUR/USD). Futures and spread betting are not available, and there are no thematic indices. Leverage varies by entity and client classification: EU retail traders sit under regulatory caps, while the offshore entity advertises leverage as high as 999:1, which is extreme and, in my view, best avoided given how quickly it can amplify losses.

Libertex offers 46 forex pairs and 1,573 total tradeable symbols, including 109 cryptocurrency CFDs, 1,313 stock CFDs, and 23 ETFs, alongside indices, commodities, and more than 25 vanilla options.

Libertex fees
Libertex sits in the more competitive tier on pricing, at least on its headline pairs. The most recent published average spread on EUR/USD was 0.3 pips, which is tight, though the broker publishes a single most-recent trading day figure rather than a full monthly average, so I would treat it as indicative rather than a guaranteed long-run number. Pricing runs on a spread-plus-commission model in forex at 5 euros per side (10 euros round turn) per 100,000 units on the Libertex platform, rising to 6 euros per side on MT4 and MT5. That makes the proprietary platform the cheaper route for active forex traders.
Account types: Account structure is straightforward. Libertex runs three platforms, the proprietary Libertex platform, MT4, and MT5, each available in a default retail mode or a Pro mode you apply for, which mainly changes your leverage and regulatory treatment. There is also a separate Invest account for trading exchange-traded shares rather than CFDs. The minimum deposit is a low $10, and execution is market execution only across every account type.
Miscellaneous fees: On non-trading costs, Libertex charges a 10 euro monthly inactivity fee, but it only triggers after six months with no trades, open positions, or funding activity, which is more forgiving than brokers that start charging after 60 or 90 days. International wire transfers are free.
Trading tiers: For higher-balance traders, three deposit-based tiers cut trading costs: Platinum takes 10% off with a 1,500 euro deposit, VIP takes 30% off at 10,000 euros, and Exclusive halves trading fees at 50,000 euros. Those thresholds can be met through lifetime deposits rather than a single transfer, and the discounts apply only to instruments that actually carry a commission. I liked that this rewards account size without the volume quotas most active-trader programs attach. One structural detail worth knowing is that the EUR/USD maximum trade size is capped at 10 million units, or 100 standard lots, which larger accounts will want to factor in.
Trading fees
Libertex charges a 0.3 pip average spread on EUR/USD plus a commission of 5 euros per side on the Libertex platform, rising to 6 euros per side on MetaTrader 4 and MetaTrader 5. Inactivity fees of 10 euros per month begin only after six months with no trading or funding activity. Deposit-based tiers cut commission costs by 10% at 1,500 euros, 30% at 10,000 euros, and 50% at 50,000 euros.

Mobile trading apps
I spent considerable time in the Libertex mobile app, and it is a clean, well-designed piece of software that gets the fundamentals right while leaving gaps active traders will feel. A fixed bottom bar splits it into five tabs: Markets, Trades, Search, Wallet, and More. Most of the depth lives inside Markets, including screeners and the News, Lab, and All views. My main gripe is that News and the research pieces (Market Overview, Economic Calendar, Weekly Digest) sit two levels deep inside Lab, when they would be easier to reach as their own tab.
Charting: Charting is the weakest part of the app. There are no technical indicators and no drawing tools at all, even in landscape or full-screen mode, so you cannot lay down a simple trend line, which puts it behind peers for real technical analysis. You do get ten timeframes, from one second to one month, a decent range. Because so little can be added to a chart, cross-device syncing is limited to your favorites list.
Order management: The order ticket is simplified and nicely designed, and placing a trade takes two taps once you accept the default amount, leverage, and direction. Drag-to-modify for stops and take-profits exists, but it is tucked inside a small chart icon in the ticket rather than sitting on the chart by default. One thing beginners should watch out for is that the "Amount" field is your margin, not your position size, so 1,000 euros at 30:1 is actually a 30,000 euro trade. The true size does appear as a "volume" figure just below, but it goes unlabeled, so confirming your real exposure takes the same mental math I had to run, and a beginner who skips it could open a far larger position than they intended. Complex order types beyond basic entry limits and stops are not supported on mobile.
Discovery and tools: Discovery is where the app is at its best. You cannot build multiple custom watchlists, but the predefined and dynamic screeners are excellent, from Top Movers and Trending to Biggest Losers and Top Volatility. Trading Central signals sit in both the watchlist and the charts, and copying one with its stop-loss and take-profit is a single tap. Price alerts are available, though buried in the notification settings rather than on the chart. An AI support agent, Lisa, handled my questions with screenshots before offering a handoff to a human. Native copy trading, however, is not available.

Every forex pair in the mobile watchlist carries a Trading Central signal, and tapping one loads the trade with its stop and target already set. The five-tab bottom bar keeps Markets, Trades, Search, and Wallet one tap away, though News and the Lab research sit two levels deep. What you cannot do from here is truly chart since the app ships with no indicators and no drawing tools.
Available mobile platforms and tools
The Libertex mobile app includes zero built-in charting indicators and no drawing tools, but does offer ten timeframes, price alerts, a news feed, an economic calendar, market movers, and integrated Trading Central signals. MetaTrader 4 and MetaTrader 5 are available as separate mobile downloads and do include indicators. We tested all three apps on Android.

Trading platforms
Libertex gives you three platform environments: its proprietary platform on web plus MetaTrader 4 and MetaTrader 5. There is no cTrader and no TradingView integration, which will disappoint traders who have standardized on either. The proprietary web platform is the flagship, and it is modern and easy to navigate, though the layout is fixed: you cannot resize the watchlist or chart panels, only expand the chart to full screen.
Charting: The charting is more capable than it first appears. I counted 43 technical indicators across Trend, Oscillator, and Volatility groups, plus more than 30 drawing tools including trend lines, channels, and pitchforks. The catch is discoverability: both the indicators and the drawing tools stay hidden until you right-click the chart to reveal the side panel, with no tooltip pointing you there. There is also no way to save a chart layout, so any indicators you add are lost the moment you switch instruments.

Trading Central signals sit right in the instrument list as Buy and Sell badges, and the tabs above them work as dynamic screeners. The chart is clean but empty on arrival, since all 43 indicators and 30-plus drawing tools stay hidden until you right-click. The panels are fixed, so full screen is the only way to give the chart more room.
Order management: The order ticket is clean and balances simplicity with function. I could see the value of a stop-loss in euros for a given price, though I could not set risk in pips, and drag-to-modify on the chart takes a few extra clicks. Advanced order types, including trailing stops, are absent on the proprietary platform but available on MetaTrader. There is no depth-of-market window, no risk/reward visual, and neither OCO nor OTO orders are supported.
Tools and automation: Discovery is a strength here too, with dynamic screeners and a client sentiment gauge that make it easy to scan for opportunities, and Trading Central signals built into the watchlist and charts. Automation is where you get pushed to MetaTrader, which handles algorithmic trading and Expert Advisors. However, the proprietary platform has no strategy builder, trade journal, or API. Copy trading is not offered through the EU entity and runs only via the offshore, Pelican-powered app. One point worth flagging from the terms and conditions is that Libertex treats placing entry stop orders around news events, and running Expert Advisors without written permission, as potentially abusive trading, which is more restrictive than most brokers I review.
MetaTrader: The MT4 and MT5 experience is the standard developer build with Libertex branding, and the back-end integration is smooth. I opened an MT5 account from the proprietary platform and copied the login credentials in a couple of clicks. The market range is narrower on MetaTrader, at 297 tradeable assets on MT5 versus over 1,000 on the flagship platform, and commissions run slightly higher.

Research
Research at Libertex is functional rather than deep, and most of what I valued is baked into the platform rather than published separately. News headlines are clean and easy to read, split into Quick News and Breaking News, each with a short read on the price action of the affected asset. One handy feature I found is that many headlines carry a chart button that opens the related instrument, so a headline on the ECB can take you straight to a EUR/USD chart. It is a workflow that suits an active trader glancing at the market between trades more than an analyst who wants long-form macro coverage.
In-house content: In-house analysis is thinner. The Financial News and Digest sections publish only a few pieces a week, well short of brokers that put out several analyses a day, and the Market Overview and Weekly Digest series (found in the Lab section) are useful but light. There are no macro reports, no podcasts, and no webinars, and the YouTube channels look largely dormant, with little posted in the past year.

The Lab section holds what research Libertex has, including the Market overview, an economic calendar, and the Weekly Digest. Each themed idea carries a risk rating and turns into a one-click basket trade, with the amount and multiplier set for you. It is closer to a trade suggestion than an analysis you can read, which is the trade-off across Libertex research.
Data and third-party tools: The economic calendar is a highlight, with actual, forecast, and downloadable historical data plotted on a bar chart, which is the standard I expect from the best. For sentiment, the Traders Sentiment tool shows the percentage of clients long versus short on select assets, a quick read on positioning bias. Third-party coverage is limited to Trading Central, which powers the integrated signals and some technical analysis. Autochartist, Acuity, and TipRanks are not offered. There is no earnings calendar or financial-statement data on the stock side.

Education
Education is the weakest link at Libertex, and it is the one area where I would point beginners elsewhere. There is a set of lessons on the website, organized well enough, but many are extremely short, a few paragraphs each, and read more like platform tutorials or a funnel to open an account than genuine instruction. The "What is a stop loss?" lesson, for example, gives a high-level overview without using a single real stop-loss value.

Six lessons make up the introductory course, and the summaries give away the depth as stop loss is defined as a pending order that limits losses, and that is close to the whole lesson. Two of the six cover opening a Libertex Invest account and funding it. The illustration budget clearly ran ahead of the instruction budget.
Depth and format: The lessons scratch the surface of CFD trading without going much beyond defining the acronym, and it is not always clear who authored an article or voiced a video. There are no beginner or advanced trading videos to speak of, no webinars, and no education section inside the mobile app. There is also no progress tracking and no quizzes, both of which peers use to keep learners engaged. For a broker courting newer traders, that is a meaningful gap.
Where it does better: The saving grace is contextual learning inside the platform. Each asset carries a detailed description under its Traders Sentiment and "Learn more" sections, which I found especially useful when sizing up an unfamiliar instrument. The platform also coaches you through mistakes such as when you try to over-order and it shows your maximum position size for the available margin. If you enter an invalid stop or target, it tells you the exact correction to make. The blog has improved too, with longer, readable articles like "Forex Market Hours" that would be far more valuable folded into structured courses.
Available educational offerings
Libertex offers written lessons on its website and contextual asset explainers inside the trading platform, but no webinars, no video library, no quizzes, no progress tracking, and no education section in the mobile app. Most lessons run a few paragraphs. We reviewed the full education library in 2026.

Final thoughts
Libertex gets the basics right for cost-conscious CFD and crypto traders with tight pricing on the popular markets, a clean proprietary platform, and MetaTrader alongside it for the automation and trailing stops that the flagship platform lacks. The Trading Central signals and dynamic screeners are the tools I reached for most, once I found where they were hidden.
What holds the broker back is the support around the trading, not the trading itself. Education is thin and there is limited in-house research. The mobile app ships without a single indicator. Copy trading means moving to an offshore entity with thinner protections. If you know what you want to trade and need it priced well, Libertex earns a place for your portfolio. If you want to be taught, armed with research, or shown what to trade, the brokers ranked above it overall may be a better fit.

Founded in 1997 as Forex Club, Libertex is part of the broader Libertex Group, which includes the Forex Club brand name in some of its international entities. Clients trade forex and CFDs through its proprietary Libertex platform, MetaTrader 4, and MetaTrader 5, held under one of several regulated entities depending on their country of residence. The group carries one Tier-1 license through its European arm, alongside additional regulators that include the FSC of Mauritius, the FSCA of South Africa, and the VFSC of Vanuatu. Which entity holds your account determines the client protections that apply, so it is worth confirming before you fund.
