Comment by Reviewer
"After testing the accounts, I think ACY Securities is best for global clients looking for low-cost trading on the MT4/MT5 terminals. I was able to access pretty competitive spreads from 0 pips with minimum deposits starting from $50."	"FBS is a great choice for traders of all experience levels and budgets with various account types, plus MetaTrader 4 and MetaTrader 5 access. That said, the broker's Cent account and intensive forex course will be particularly beneficial for beginners."
Pros
I feel reassured that ACY Securities is regulated by top-tier authorization, the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC), with negative balance protection and segregated client funds I was pleased to be able to choose between the industry-renowned MT4 and MT5 terminals, as well as the respective mobile apps and additional tools like Capitalise.ai The range of 15+ commission-free payment methods including POLi, Perfect Money, Skrill and wire transfer is competitive and aligns with top competitors Responsive customer support is available 24/5 with local and international telephone numbers. I also found the live chat support reasonably helpful I think the broker's range of 2200+ CFD instruments is fairly extensive and will serve any trader looking to build a diverse portfolio with low fees I find the suite of analyst insights and educational content is comprehensive and enough to help me make informed trading decisions	There’s a great choice of account types for short-term traders including crypto, cent and ECN options, with decent forex spreads at 0.7 pips FBS maintains its position as a trusted European broker with top-tier licenses, several awards and negative balance protection for clients The MetaTrader terminals deliver a comprehensive day trading environment at FBS, including up to 21 timeframes and 6 pending orders The commission-free payment methods and low minimum deposits make the broker ideal for beginners or those on a lower budget The broker’s NDD technology ensures fast order execution within 0.4 seconds and no requotes There’s a comprehensive learning section with tailored courses, webinars and trade ideas
Cons
I think it's a shame that the global entity is regulated offshore by the St Vincent and the Grenadines Financial Services Authority, so some traders may not receive the same safeguarding measures as the ASIC-regulated branch Crypto traders will be disappointed that digital currencies are not offered	There’s no copy trading solution which would offer an alternative way to trade and is offered at many top competitors like Skilling Account availability, platform access and market coverage all vary by jurisdiction There's a limited range of assets overall, including only 35+ currency pairs

CFD Trading
I appreciate the wide range of over 2,000 CFDs at ACY Securities, encompassing global stocks, ETFs, forex, indices and commodities. New traders can get started with just $50, but I found that the best CFD prices are available for those who can deposit at least $200.	You can go long or short on a decent suite of financial markets with leveraged CFDs. Users can choose between three reliable platforms with over 50 indicators and charting tools, plus fast market execution from 0.3 seconds.

Forex Trading
I was glad to see over 60+ major, minor and exotic currency pairs available to trade on the industry favourites, MT4 and MT5. Traders can leverage up to 1:500 and access liquidity from 16 tier-one global banks.	FBS offers a below-average range of 35+ majors, minors and exotics. That said, spreads are fairly competitive, averaging 0.7 pips for EUR/USD in the Standard account. There’s also an excellent range of forex market resources and tools on offer, including calculators and an intensive forex course.
