Comment by Reviewer
"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."	"Fusion Markets is a standout option for forex traders looking for excellent pricing with spreads near zero, industry-low commissions and recently TradingView integration. It’s a particularly good broker for Australian traders where the company is headquartered and regulated by the ASIC."
Pros
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	The market analysis features, Market Buzz and Analyst Views, are great tools for discovering opportunities and conveniently integrated into the client dashboard. The range of charting platforms and social trading features is excellent, with MT4, MT5, cTrader and more recently TradingView, catering to a wide range of trader preferences. Fusion Markets continues to impress with its pricing that provides tight spreads with below-average commissions that will appeal to active day traders. Fusion Markets is set up to support algo traders with a sponsored VPS solution and a 25% discount if you opt for the NYC Servers VPS for MT4 or cTrader. Average execution speeds of around 37 milliseconds are noticeably faster than many rivals and can help day traders secure optimal prices in fast-moving markets. Fusion Markets offers best-in-class support with very fast, friendly and helpful responses during tests and no frustrating automated chatbot to navigate.
Cons
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	Fusion Market trails alternatives, notably eToro and IG, in the education department with limited guides and live video sessions to upskill new traders. While the selection of currency pairs trumps most rivals, the broker's alternative investment offering is average with no stock CFDs beyond the US. Traders outside of Australia must sign up with weakly regulated global entities with limited safeguards and no negative balance protection. There is no proprietary trading platform or app built with beginners in mind, a notable drawback compared to AvaTrade. The demo account expires after 30 days, limiting its potential as a useful trading tool alongside a real-money account.

App Review
The FBS Trader app allows clients to manage their finances and speculate on 44 forex pairs, among other assets. Instant deposits are available, as well as one-click trading. Users can also conduct technical analysis via interactive charting with multiple indicators. The app is free to download from the respective app stores.	Fusion Markets offers seamless integration with the cTrader, MT4, MT5 and TradingView apps, available on Android or iOS. Although we find the design of the MetaTrader app increasingly outdated, detracting from the user experience, it excels for its premium charting package, integrated news stream and push notifications. The cTrader app performed even better during tests, featuring a superior design and an extensive suite of over 70 indictors and 26 timeframes, making it the obvious choice for advanced day traders.
