Colin Graves is a Winnipeg-based financial writer and former banker with more than seven years of experience covering investments, online brokerages, and the forex markets.
CFDs are complex instruments and come with a high risk of losing money rapidly due to leverage. You should consider whether you understand how CFDs work and whether you can afford to take the high risk of losing your money.
As a Canadian investor and longtime reviewer of online brokers, I’ve spent a significant amount of time testing Questrade Global, Questrade’s dedicated forex and CFD trading platform. I’ve placed trades on both its mobile and web platforms, analyzed spreads, explored its research tools, and measured its forex pricing against competitors like Interactive Brokers. While Questrade’s self-directed investing platform is well-established, its forex and CFD offering is an entirely different product, so it warrants a closer look, especially when it comes to costs and usability.
In my view, Questrade Global is best suited for beginner and everyday Canadian forex traders looking for a simple, all-in-one platform that’s backed by a reputable domestic brokerage. You’ll find a solid range of tradeable instruments and a fairly intuitive trading experience, but it falls short on pricing competitiveness and advanced research tools. I’m also not a big fan of its mobile trading app, which could use a major refresh.
Overall, casual forex traders will find plenty to like about Questrade Global, but more experienced or cost-conscious users may find better value elsewhere.

Range of investments
Questrade Global offers a solid, though far from best-in-class, selection of forex pairs and CFD instruments. With over 675 tradable symbols, Questrade covers the basics well, but it lacks the depth and breadth of top global forex brokers. For example, you cannot access crypto CFDs or actual stock shares. But if you’re looking for a Canadian-based platform that you can use to speculate across currencies, indices, commodities, and international stocks, Questrade can get the job done.
Forex & CFDs: Questrade Global offers over 110 currency pairs (I counted 113). In addition, it offers over 250 stock CFDs, 250+ EFT CFDs, and 13 index CFDs, including the US 30 (Wall Street, Dow Jones), US 500 (S&P 500), Germany 40 (DAX), Hong Kong 50 (Hang Sang Index), and more. You can also access 48 commodity CFDs across agriculture, energy, and metals.
This screenshot shows Questrade Global’s built-in screener, which allows traders to filter and explore a wide range of forex pairs and CFD instruments. In addition to over 250 stock CFDs, users can browse and sort opportunities across currencies, indices, ETFs, and commodities, including metals, energy, and agriculture. In total, Questrade has over 675 instruments available to trade.
You can’t trade actual individual stock shares, but Questrade has a separate self-directed brokerage. This means you could open a stock trading account and keep everything under the same roof, which is very convenient. Finally, I spoke with a Questrade representative who confirmed that there are no crypto offerings, but that Questrade plans to add them in the future.
Available investment products
While Questrade offers an impressive self-directed stock trading account, its forex and CFD catalog on Questrade Global is narrower than international competitors. During our audit, we verified access to 110 forex pairs, alongside over 250 CFDs spanning indices, commodities, and U.S. stocks.

Questrade fees
Questrade Global is a spread broker, which means that your trading costs are built into the price you see on the screen. Instead of charging a separate trading commission, Questrade earns its revenue solely through a marked-up bid-ask spread, the small difference between the buy and sell price of a currency pair or CFD.
Forex pricing summary: According to Questrade, spreads can be as low as 0.8 pips under “normal market conditions”. And that’s likely the case, but upon review at the time of writing, I found the average spreads for major pairs to be closer to 2.1 – 2.5 pips. Interactive Brokers (IBKR), by comparison, offers much tighter spreads along with a separate commission. To put this into perspective, let’s consider a trade of one standard lot (100,000 units). With Questrade Global, a typical spread of around 2 pips results in an all-in cost of roughly $20 per trade. IBKR, on the other hand, might charge a spread of about 0.2 pips (approx $2), plus a small commission of $4 to $7 per trade. In this case, your total cost with IBKR would be around $6 to $9, less than half the price of Questrade Global.
CFD pricing: Questrade charges a small spread on CFDs, but adds a $9.95 USD trading fee per unit, so you really need to understand your costs before you trade, as it can get expensive.
For example, as shown in the screenshot below, if you were to purchase one Tesla CFD unit, you would pay a tiny spread of $ 0.05 (0.015%), but you would be subject to a $9.95 USD trading fee when you open and close the position, for a total transaction cost of $19.95 USD, or 5.813%. This doesn’t include the overnight financing costs (swap fees), which for one month would be an additional $2.23 USD (0.65%). In other words, you would need a return of over 6% on the CFD just to break even.
The trading costs page, accessible from the trade ticket, provides traders with a clear view of the total cost before placing a trade. It itemizes the spread, commissions on entry and exit, and estimated overnight financing, and highlights Questrade Global’s pricing transparency.
Other fees: Depending on your account activity, you may incur additional costs when dealing with Questrade. For example, the broker charges a rollover cost for any position that stays open after 5 PM ET. These costs will vary depending on the instrument you are trading. In addition, a carrying cost is charged on the overnight positions in Expiring CFDs. Like the rollover cost, this fee will vary by CFD. Non-expiring CFDs are subject to an overnight credit/debt charge (if held overnight).
Trading fees
Questrade Global operates as a spread-only broker for forex, but CFD traders should be aware of additional transaction costs. In our live pricing analysis, despite advertised minimum spreads of 0.8 pips on the EUR/USD, we observed real-time spreads of 2 pips alongside a $9.95 USD trading fee per unit on CFD positions.
| Feature |
Questrade

|---|---|
| Average spread (EUR/USD) - Standard account | 0.8 or higher |

Account types
Questrade keeps its account structure simple by focusing strictly on variable spreads without an Active Trader rebate program or VIP tiers. We confirmed the absence of fixed spreads, professional accounts, and Islamic (swap-free) options during our evaluation.

Mobile trading apps
Questrade Global offers a mobile trading app that is available for download on iOS and Android devices. I spent a lot of time in the app, creating watchlists, monitoring trades, and using the charts and research tools. My overall impression is that the app is pretty mediocre. For starters, the iOS app is designed for the iPad, so I found myself constantly having to scroll sideways to view menus and content that didn’t fit on my iPhone screen. And while you can add indicators and trendlines to charts in the mobile app, it’s pretty cumbersome.
I also found it annoying that the app doesn’t yet support facial recognition (Face ID). I had to retrieve a new code from my authenticator app every time I logged in. It didn’t help that the session times out after 15 minutes. Only the Windows desktop platform allows you to set your session timeout to “never”. I wasn’t surprised to see that the most recent update on The App Store (iOS) was from January 2023 — over three years ago! And the iOS version of the app has a 2.1-star rating (out of 5). The Android version of the app has a similar rating of 3/5 stars.
All that said, the product overview screen, which includes charts and market news, is well laid out, and placing trades is a breeze, making the mobile app sufficient for the average trader. Furthermore, most of the functions on the web platform are also available in the app, and the two systems are integrated. You can create and edit watchlists in the app, set price alerts, and edit charts, and your changes will appear in the web and desktop applications.
This screen shows the product overview for the EUR/USD currency pair in the Questrade Global mobile app, including real-time pricing and key market data. Traders can view the current bid and ask prices, spread, and intraday chart, while also accessing the trade ticket directly from this page using the “Trade” button.
Available mobile platforms and tools
The Questrade Global mobile app provides the essential tools needed to monitor markets and execute trades on iOS and Android devices. In our hands-on testing, we found 64 built-in charting indicators and watchlist syncing, though the app currently lacks advanced biometric login features like Face ID.

Trading platforms
Questrade Global offers a single trading platform available via web, a downloadable desktop version (Windows only), and the aforementioned mobile app. You can also open a free practice account for 30 days.
Platform overview: Questrade Global’s trading platform is well-developed and uses a white-labeled version of Saxo’s platform. Questrade considers itself a 24/6 trading platform, meaning you can trade around the clock throughout the week, except for the period from Friday evenings until Sunday afternoons.
While it lacks the depth of top platforms, it offers more than enough functionality and tools to appeal to the everyday Canadian forex trader. The trade ticket includes five order types: Market, Limit, Stop, Trailing Stop, Stop Limit, and One Cancels the Other (OCO). There is even a Quick Trade option for fast trading. By clicking the information icon in the trade ticket, you can bring up a cost calculator, trading rates, and instrument details for the currency pair or CFD you are trading. You can easily set price alerts, create and edit watchlists, or access Questrade’s preset watchlists.
Charting: Questrade offers 9 different chart types, including Bid/Ask, Line, three Candlestick charts, Bar OHLC, and Bar HLC, and I counted 64 available indicators and studies. You can customize your chart configuration and open a trade ticket by right-clicking on the forex pair or CFD displayed on the chart or on the chart itself.
Screener: Questrade’s forex and CFD screener is a helpful feature that makes it easy to sort through the hundreds of available instruments. You can filter by FX and CFD indices, stocks, futures, and ETFs. You can also sort by % price change, popularity, and alphabetically. As with the trade signals tool, clicking on an instrument in the screener brings up a trade ticket, so you can place an order directly from the screener.
Demo account: If you want to give Questrade Global a test run, you can open a free web-based practice account that's available for 30 days. You’ll be able to trade with $100,000 in practice cash, switch between web and mobile platforms, and try out all of Questrade Global’s charting and research tools.
Available trading platforms and features
Powered by a white-labeled version of Saxo's technology, the Questrade Global platform delivers a solid, web-based trading experience alongside a downloadable Windows desktop app. Our platform walkthrough verified 64 charting indicators, built-in trading signals, and full API access, though it notably excludes MetaTrader 4 (MT4) and MetaTrader 5 (MT5).

Research
Questrade Global lacks the in-depth research capabilities of more advanced trading platforms and relies on a few third-party research tools from companies such as NewsEdge and Autochartist, with market data provided by Saxo.
Trading signals: If you want to filter structured trade ideas without leaving the trading platform, Questrade has a built-in trade signals feature. It’s a third-party tool from Autochartist, and is very easy to navigate. At a glance, it tells you the signal’s direction, the price forecast, interval, pattern name, when the signal was identified, the signal type, expiry, the percentage probability, and the quality of the signal. When you click on a specific pairing or CFD, it displays a detailed snapshot of the signal along with a trade ticket, so you can place your order without leaving the tool.
The above screenshot is from Questrade Global’s Trade Signals tool, which is powered by Autochartist. It scans the market for potential trading opportunities based on technical patterns. Traders can filter by asset class and view identified setups, such as channel patterns, along with directional bias, recent performance, and pattern stage (e.g., emerging or breakout).
Market news and calendar: In addition to Trade Signals by Autochartist, Questrade offers the latest economic and market news, as well as a calendar of economic events, which you can filter by event type (macro, earnings, dividends), importance, time frame, and country.
Available research tools
Questrade relies heavily on third-party integrations to deliver market research and trading ideas. Our analysis highlights the inclusion of Autochartist for technical trading signals, TipRanks, and Trading Central, though the platform lacks daily in-house market commentary.

| Trading Central | Yes |
| Mobile Research - News | No |

| Mobile Research - Market Movers | No |
Education
Questrade’s educational tools are limited. There is a learning centre on its website, where you can access articles and webinars on a wide range of investing topics. Unfortunately, I found very little educational content pertaining to forex and CFD trading. And while the webinars are very high quality, I only counted 13 in total, so they don’t seem to publish them regularly. If you want to learn the finer points of forex trading, you’re better off relying on outside resources.
I will point out one small caveat here. When you open an account with Questrade, you can book a free training session with a Questrade representative via Google Meet. In fact, they may reach out to you to book one. Shortly after opening my account, I spent 45 minutes with a very knowledgeable representative who brought me up to speed on the platform.
Available educational offerings
Questrade’s educational resources are primarily geared toward traditional stock and ETF investing rather than advanced currency trading. While the website features a dedicated learning center with general investing content, we found a distinct lack of beginner or advanced videos and webinars focused specifically on forex and CFDs.

Final thoughts
Questrade Global makes it easy for Canadians to trade forex and CFDs, especially if you’re already immersed in the Questrade ecosystem. Unfortunately, its higher trading costs, lack of in-depth research tools, and an underwhelming mobile trading experience prevent it from being a top-tier platform. For beginners looking to dip their toes into the world of forex trading, the free practice account and ease of use are definite positives, but for traders focused on securing the tightest possible spreads and more advanced tools, I recommend checking out other alternatives before you commit.
