Libertex (Europe) Review

When trading with new brokers, traders usually have many concerns regarding the security of their funds and malpractices. Libertex has a history of over a decade in operations and a solid track record. The company is also a sponsor of FC Bayern, as well as Kick Sauber F1 Team, and is a popular name among brokerages. 

When trading with a regulated broker, traders get multiple layers of account security. With CySEC regulation, the broker offers segregated accounts (traders’ funds from the company’s funds), negative balance protection, and investor protection with funds up to €20,000. These are all top-tier features traders generally expect from the best brokers. 

Libertex offers a truly extensive range of underlying assets such as CFDs on forex pairs, indices, stocks, cryptocurrencies, commodities, options, bonds, and ETFs. The total number of all CFDs on the platform is above 300+. Most brokers generally have 100+ to somewhere between 200+ assets. So, it’s clearly an impressive feat by Libertex. The wide variety of underlying assets makes the broker suitable to many types of traders. Forex CFD traders, crypto CFD traders, stock CFD traders, etc., can all trade from the same platform. 

Besides trading in CFDs only like most CFD brokers, Libertex stands out by offering the option to invest in stocks. Other brokers offering something similar are eToro and Robinhood. The Stock Investment account has no commissions charged (market spreads apply). The ability to invest in stocks and trade in CFDs allows a lot more flexibility to the traders. 

Most seasoned brokers often have a preference for a trading platform. For example, some people prefer MT4, whereas others may prefer the more advanced MT5. Libertex goes above and beyond in their trading platform game by offering both MT4 and MT5 on top of their proprietary trading platform. So, you have access to all the features offered with these trading platforms and can trade from any device of your liking.

Different types of fees and commissions often come as a surprise to traders. They learn about other charges in real-time. A good thing with Libertex is that you are much less likely to get unpleasant surprises. Libertex has tight spreads (from 0.1 pips only) and very low fees. High fees are generally a challenge for traders but you don’t have to worry about those with Libertex.

The available account types on Libertex are not as spread out as most brokers. Generally, most brokers have 5+ tiers with differences in commissions and other features. Libertex has a more simplistic approach with one trading account and a demo account to learn different strategies.

This is the standard account available to all traders on Libertex.com. This account has a straightforward €100 initial deposit to start trading. You get access to MT4, MT5, and proprietary trading accounts from the broker.The commissions on different assets start from zero percent and leverage is up to 1:30 for retail clients. Lastly, you have negative balance protection which means you can not lose more money than you have in your account.

The Stock Investing account is different from the CFD trading account. This account allows clients to invest in real stocks and earn dividends in Libertex. This is a commission-free account from the company which means the broker does not charge commissions on buying or selling of stocks. The only spreads applied to these accounts are the market spreads. 

The demo account is a great platform for anyone who wants to learn trading. Libertex gives you 50,000 virtual EUR to try different trading strategies, develop an understanding of markets, and hands-on trading. It is highly recommended for all types of traders to benefit from it.
