    Eightcap provides an extensive selection of trading options with over 800 CFDs covering equities, indices, bonds, commodities, and digital currencies, subject to regional availability. Traders can access leverage ranging from 1:30 to 1:500. The platform is distinguished by its sophisticated tools, including an AI-powered economic calendar that tracks over 25 countries with filters for varying impact levels. Despite these strengths, Eightcap's selection of commodities, especially softs such as cotton and wheat, along with its range of precious metals and energy assets, remains limited and could benefit from further development.

    Eightcap offers MT4, MT5, and TradingView apps, being the sole FCA-regulated broker with TradingView, ideal for mobile traders seeking advanced charting. Although MetaTrader's design feels dated, its numerous technical indicators, drawing tools, diverse chart styles, and simple horizontal overlays are impressive. Push notifications and an active social network on TradingView are beneficial for traders, with Eightcap providing guidance videos on linking TradingView to iOS and Android.

Our Take On Pepperstone

"Pepperstone is a premier trading platform, providing tight spreads, swift execution, and sophisticated charting tools for seasoned traders. Beginners benefit from no minimum deposit, comprehensive learning materials, and outstanding 24/7 support."

Pros

  • Over the years, Pepperstone has consistently garnered recognition from DayTrading.com’s annual awards. Recently, it was honoured as the 'Best Overall Broker' in 2025 and was the 'Best Forex Broker' runner-up the same year.
  • In recent years, Pepperstone has significantly enhanced the deposit and withdrawal process. By 2025, clients can use Apple Pay and Google Pay, while 2024 saw the introduction of PIX and SPEI for customers in Brazil and Mexico.
  • Pepperstone presents itself as an economical choice for traders, offering spreads as low as 0.0 in its Razor account. The Active Trader programme provides rebates up to 30% on indices and commodities, plus $3 per lot on forex.

Cons

  • Pepperstone doesn't offer cTrader Copy, a favoured feature for copying trades found in the cTrader platform, which is available on other platforms such as IC Markets. However, Pepperstone has launched its own user-friendly copy trading app.
  • Pepperstone's demo accounts expire after 30 days, which may not provide sufficient time to explore various platforms and evaluate trading strategies.
  • Although its market range has improved, its crypto offerings remain limited compared to brokers specialising in this sector, lacking real coin investment options.

Our Take On XTB

"XTB excels for novice traders with its superb xStation platform, minimal trading costs, no required deposit, and outstanding educational resources, many of which are fully integrated into the platform."
William Berg
William Berg
Reviewer

Pros

  • XTB offers a diverse array of instruments, including CFDs on shares, indices, ETFs, commodities, forex, crypto, real shares, real ETFs, and share dealing, along with newly introduced Investment Plans. This allows XTB to serve both short-term traders and long-term investors efficiently.
  • XTB processes withdrawals swiftly, paying within 3 business days, subject to the method and amount.
  • Setting up an XTB account is straightforward and fully online, requiring only a few minutes. This simplicity eases new traders into the world of trading.

Cons

  • It is frustrating that XTB products do not allow traders to modify the default leverage level. Manually adjusting leverage can greatly reduce risk in forex and CFD trading.
  • XTB has stopped supporting MT4, restricting traders to its own platform, xStation. This decision may discourage experienced traders accustomed to using the MetaTrader suite.
  • XTB lacks a raw spread account, a feature increasingly offered by competitors such as Pepperstone. This omission might not satisfy traders seeking the most competitive spreads.

Our Take On Interactive Brokers

"Interactive Brokers ranks highly for seasoned traders due to its robust charting platforms, live data, and bespoke layouts via the new IBKR Desktop app. Its competitive pricing and sophisticated order choices appeal to traders, and its wide equity options are industry-leading."
Tobias Robinson
Tobias Robinson
Reviewer

Pros

  • The new IBKR Desktop platform combines the top features of TWS with customised tools such as Option Lattice and MultiSort Screeners, providing an impressive trading experience for traders of all skill levels.
  • The TWS platform is tailored for intermediate and advanced traders, featuring over 100 order types and a dependable real-time market data feed with exceptional uptime.
  • While initially targeting seasoned traders, IBKR has recently widened its appeal by eliminating its $10,000 minimum deposit requirement.

Cons

  • The learning curve for TWS is quite steep, making it tough for novice traders to navigate and grasp all its features. In contrast, Plus500's web platform is far more accessible for those new to trading.
  • IBKR offers a variety of research tools, but their inconsistent placement across trading platforms and the 'Account Management' webpage creates a confusing experience for users.
  • Support can be sluggish and frustrating. Tests reveal that you may face challenges reaching customer service quickly, which could result in delays in issue resolution.

Our Take On Trade Nation

"Trade Nation is ideal for novice traders seeking diverse markets on an easy-to-use platform. It offers no minimum deposit, complimentary funding options, and robust educational resources."
Tobias Robinson

Pros

  • Access a comprehensive selection of investments through leveraged CFDs, enabling both long and short strategies.
  • Beginners benefit from a modest initial deposit.
  • A variety of trading platforms and apps, such as MT4, make the brand suitable for experienced traders.

Cons

  • Reduced legal safeguards with an offshore entity.

Our Take On Eightcap

"Eightcap excels for traders, offering diverse charting platforms, educational Labs, and AI tools. With over 120 crypto CFDs, it stands out in crypto trading and has won our 'Best Crypto Broker' award twice consecutively."
William Berg
William Berg
Reviewer

Pros

  • In 2021, Eightcap enhanced its lineup, now providing an extensive range of cryptocurrency CFDs. It offers crypto/fiat and crypto/crypto pairs, along with crypto indices for comprehensive market exposure.
  • With spreads starting at 0 pips, minimal commission charges, and leverage up to 1:500 for select clients, Eightcap delivers affordable and flexible trading opportunities. These conditions suit various strategies, such as trading and scalping.
  • In 2026, Eightcap integrated TradeLocker, distinguishing itself as the premier regulated broker for TradeLocker. It continues to offer ultra-fast execution and competitive fees for active traders on the charting platform.

Cons

  • Despite a helpful array of educational guides and e-books in Labs, Eightcap lags behind IG's extensive resources for aspiring traders. IG boasts a dedicated Academy app and features 18 diverse course categories.
  • Eightcap must enhance its range of over 800 instruments to rival top competitors like Blackbull Markets, which offers 26,000+ assets, especially improving its limited commodities selection.
  • Despite the growing range of tools available, Eightcap lacks popular industry resources such as Autochartist and Trading Central. These provide advanced charting analytics, live news, and essential market insights for traders focused on short-term strategies.

Our Take On IG

"IG offers a complete package: an easy-to-use web platform, top-tier beginner education, enhanced charting via TradingView, up-to-date data, and strong trade execution for seasoned traders."
Tobias Robinson
Tobias Robinson
Reviewer

Pros

  • IG excels with its diverse instruments, offering stocks, forex, indices, commodities, and cryptocurrencies. Additionally, it provides US-listed futures, options, and an AI Index, ensuring varied diversification opportunities.
  • The web-based platform supports traders at every level, offering advanced charting tools and real-time market data vital for trading. Additionally, IG now includes TradingView integration.
  • The IG app provides an excellent mobile trading experience with an intuitive design, earning it the Runner Up position in our 'Best Trading App' award.

Cons

  • IG has ended its swap-free account, diminishing its attractiveness to Islamic traders.
  • IG imposes a monthly inactivity fee of $12 after two years, discouraging occasional traders.
  • Beginners may find IG's fees complicated, as they vary depending on the trades or services. This could cause confusion and unexpected costs.

Our Take On Forex.com

"FOREX.com excels in serving traders of all levels, offering more than 80 currency pairs, spreads starting at 0.0 pips, and competitive commissions. Its robust charting platforms provide over 100 technical indicators and comprehensive research tools."
Tobias Robinson
Tobias Robinson
Reviewer

Pros

  • The in-house Web Trader continues to stand out as one of the best-designed platforms for aspiring traders with a slick design and over 80 technical indicators for market analysis.
  • FOREX.com provides top-tier forex rates beginning at 0.0 pips, along with attractive cashback rebates up to 15% for dedicated traders.
  • An abundance of educational resources is available, such as tutorials, webinars, and an extensive YouTube channel, designed to enhance your understanding of financial markets.

Cons

  • Demo accounts are typically limited to 90 days, hindering effective strategy testing.
  • US clients are not protected against negative balances, which means you could end up owing more than your initial deposit.
  • FOREX.com's MT4 platform provides around 600 instruments, a notable reduction compared to the more than 5,500 options on its other platforms.

CFD Basics

Contracts for differences (CFDs) are agreements whereby a trader and broker must pay the difference in the price of an underlying asset between when the contract is purchased and when it is sold. A trader can make a profit from purchasing CFDs if they correctly anticipate the direction that the price of the chosen underlying asset, such as British Airways (AIG) stock, moves in. If the trader anticipates a price rise, they ‘go long’. If the trader anticipates a fall in price, they ‘go short’.

How CFD Trading Apps Work

CFD trading apps are essentially a one-stop shop for managing investments. Some brokers use outsourced software, such as MT4, while others develop their own, in-house applications. The best software is compatible with iOS and Android devices and can be downloaded for free when you register for an account.

Importantly, retail traders are increasingly scanning the markets and opening and closing positions from their smartphones or tablet devices, instead of their desktop computers. In fact, over half of retail trades in 2021 were executed on mobile devices. As a result, CFD brokers are investing in their trading applications to ensure they offer a user-friendly trading environment with a suite of tools and features to aid decision-making.

Comparing CFD Trading Apps

We have compiled a list of the key factors to consider when choosing a CFD trading app:

  • Speed: Does the app offer the best execution speeds? Good quality software will offer ultra-fast executions, helping to protect profits and limit losses in volatile markets.
  • Regulation: Is the CFD broker regulated by the UK’s Financial Conduct Authority (FCA)? This is a sign that the brand is trustworthy and reliable. Alternatively, are they licensed with another reputable financial agency, such as the Australian Securities & Investments Commission (ASIC) or the Cyprus Securities & Exchange Commission (CySEC)?
  • Compatibility: Is the software compatible with your mobile device, be that an iPhone, Android or Windows device? Check if the application is available on the Apple App Store or Google Play. Most brokers also provide free download links on their websites.
  • Fees: Does the CFD trading app offer competitive spreads and commissions? The top providers offer spread-only accounts and trading solutions that combine spreads and commissions. Also check for other fees, including overnight charges, deposit and withdrawal fees, plus subscriptions for additional tools, such as copy trading software.
  • Range of markets: Which underlying assets can you speculate on? Can you trade on FTSE-listed stocks and currency pairs with the GBP, for example? Alternatively, look for access to international markets.
  • Security: Does the CFD investing app offer two-step authentication? Traders can be a target for hackers. Make sure the app you download offers data encryption and two-factor authentication. This is particularly important if you opt for a broker’s proprietary software over a well-known app like MetaTrader 4.
  • Payment methods: Can you deposit and withdraw from the mobile app? Also check the list of available payment options. The top brand support deposits via Visa, Mastercard and wire transfer, plus eWallets like PayPal, Skrill and Neteller. An increasing number of brands are also accepting Bitcoin payments. Look at payment timelines too. The best brokers offer instant deposits and withdrawals within 48 hours.
  • Customer support: How can you reach the customer support team if you experience an issue? The best CFD trading apps have a built-in live chat terminal or links to social media forums. Also check opening times. Leading brands offer 24/5 or 24/7 customer support.
  • Learning tools: The best apps offer integrated resources to support your CFD trading journey. These could be free webinars, blogs or live forums where you can ask questions of other traders. These are great places for beginners to find out about risk management and different trading strategies.
  • Features: Can you access copy trading tools? Does the app offer advanced charting, stock scanners or forex heat maps? Check for tools and features that will upgrade the trading experience.
  • Leverage: How much purchasing power does the CFD trading app provide? FCA-regulated firms usually cap leverage to 1:30 unless you qualify for a professional account.
  • Demo account: Can you test drive the app and broker with a free demo account? This is a good way to check you are comfortable with the application and trading conditions before risking real funds.

Skilling CFD App

Trading Apps Vs Desktop Terminals

The best CFD trading apps essentially replicate the fully-featured desktop platform. This means users don’t have to compromise on the breadth and quality of tools when moving to their mobile device. The top applications provide mobile-optimised charts and graphs, ultra-fast execution speeds and real-time news and alerts. The result is that traders can find opportunities and manage orders while on the go.

Of course, the smaller screen on a mobile or tablet device can affect the trading experience. This is particularly true for technical traders who may rely on multiple charting views alongside historical data. This sort of in-depth financial analysis can prove tricky on a 6-inch iPhone screen.

As a result, many traders prefer to supplement their desktop trading activities with their mobile app. So detailed market research can be conducted on the desktop platform while clients can monitor positions and amend trade parameters from their mobile or tablet device.

Benefits of CFD Apps

  • Constant access: CFD trading apps offer around-the-clock access to traditional and emerging financial markets. This means clients can view the latest market activity in the crypto space over the weekend, for example. Traders simply need a stable internet connection.
  • Information: Trading apps provide up-to-date information that can inform investment decisions. This is particularly important with CFDs which do not typically have fixed expiries – it is up to the trader to choose when to exit a position. Having access to the latest news and market data can support trading decisions.
  • Account management: CFD apps allow users to manage their trading account and portfolio while on the move. Clients can deposit and withdraw funds, claim bonuses and promotions, or engage in copy trading while on the commute to work.
  • Compatibility: Almost all the best online brokers offer free CFD trading apps that can be downloaded to both iOS and Android devices. This also means clients have more choice when choosing a provider.

Drawbacks of CFD Apps

  • Screen size: Many traders prefer larger monitors when conducting detailed technical analysis. Some mobile devices also struggle to run large applications which can cause lags and delays, affecting the user experience.
  • ‘Always on’: CFD trading apps enable investors to always be tapped into the markets. And while this can be positive, it can lead to reactive decisions that don’t align with the original strategy or trading plan.

FAQs

Is A Desktop Platform Better Than A CFD Trading App?

Desktop terminals offer access to larger monitors which can help with detailed technical analysis, especially if you run multiple charts and graphs simultaneously. Importantly though, CFD trading apps do not have to be an alternative to desktop investing; rather a complimentary solution for managing trading activity and positions while on the go.

What Is The Best CFD Trading App?

The best CFD trading app will ultimately come down to personal preference. With that said, MT4 is popular. CMC Markets also offer user-a friendly trading app which receives excellent customer reviews and ratings.

Do CFD Trading Apps Take Commission?

This will depend on the pricing model of the online broker. Some firms offer commission-free trading, while other platforms charge a lower spread with a fixed commission on top. As a result, it’s important to consider all trading costs when choosing a provider.

Are CFD Trading Apps Good For Beginners?

There are CFD trading apps that offer features that are suitable for beginners. These can include free educational resources, market watchlists, platform tutorials, plus copy trading tools. Axi is a good option for new traders.

Is CFD Trading Safe?

All trading involves risk, including speculating with contracts for difference. The leverage element of CFDs, in particular, can lead to large losses. As a result, it’s important to use effective risk management strategies and the alerts and tools available in your trading app. See our guide to CFD trading for more information on managing risk.
