To place short-term trades on local and global financial markets, such as currency pairs containing the Swedish krona (SEK) or stocks listed on the Nasdaq Stockholm, you’ll need an online broker.

The Financial Supervisory Authority of Sweden, Finansinspektionen (FI), regulates the financial markets, and by extension trading providers. But other EU brokers can onboard Swedes through the region’s passporting scheme.

Discover DayTrading.com’s pick of the best day trading brokers in Sweden. Every platform accepts Swedes, while some excel with local securities, SEK accounts, and convenient deposit options like Sweden’s Klarna.

Methodology

To find the best day trading platforms in Sweden, we scoured our database spanning hundreds of online brokers and removed any that don’t accept Swedish traders.

We then ranked the remaining brokers by their overall rating, which combines 200+ data points with our findings from hands-on tests.

How To Choose A Day Trading Broker In Sweden

Our many years evaluating trading platforms of all stripes have helped us pinpoint the key factors to consider:

Trust

Choose a well-regulated broker to help protect you from trading scams. This is especially important given the rise in clone investment websites across Scandinavia in recent years, as reported by Finance Feeds.

We recommend brokers we trust, and preferably with authorization from a respected authority in line with DayTrading.com’s Regulation & Trust Rating. Additionally, we look for long-standing providers with large, active client bases and transparent trading practices.

In Sweden, the Financial Supervisory Authority (FI) oversees the financial markets and trading providers.

However, you can also sign up with other brokers regulated in the European Economic Area (EEA) through the region’s passporting initiative.

Financial Markets

Choose a broker that provides access to the asset classes that you’re interested in, enabling you to spread your risk and capitalize on diverse trading opportunities.

For Swedish traders, this may include currency pairs involving the Swedish krona (SEK) such as EUR/SEK, as well as stocks listed on the Nasdaq Stockholm, such as Swedbank and Novotek.

Swedes may also be interested in the country’s chief export commodities like oil and iron ore.

Trading Fees

Choose a broker with competitive, transparent costs, which can quickly accumulate for active traders.

The most common costs you’ll incur are spreads and commissions, though we also evaluate non-trading fees such as inactivity charges or costs for depositing in Swedish krona if your trading account is based in say euro. Brokers with SEK trading accounts help Swedish traders minimize or eliminate conversion fees.

Also consider whether any additional tools justify higher fees. For example, analyst insights into the Nordic stock market or fiscal updates from the Riksbank, which could impact the value of the krona, could be valuable for aspiring traders.

Charting Platforms

Choose a broker with a reliable and powerful charting platform for technical analysis – a popular way active traders identify short-term trading opportunities.

Terminals like MetaTrader 4 (MT4), MetaTrader 5 (MT5), cTrader and TradingView are preferred by many day traders for their comprehensive range of charting features, including technical indicators and timeframes. At least one of these is available at most reputable brokers.

However, we’ve found proprietary platforms available at some firms, often with scaled-down features and streamlined interfaces, offer a smoother entry point for beginners.

Leverage Requirements

Choose a broker that is upfront about the risks and requirements of trading with leverage, an approach adopted by many day traders.

Leverage gives you exposure to larger positions whilst only requiring a small cash outlay (known as margin).

Let’s say I want to trade EUR/SEK with leverage of 1:20 and a down payment of €250.

This would mean the value of my position would magnify by 20, to €5,000.

Whilst this can magnify gains by a factor, in this case 20x, it can also contribute to heavy losses. Therefore, solid risk management and a sound understanding of your broker’s margin requirements are essential.

Execution Quality

Choose a broker that executes trades swiftly and efficiently. Day traders rely on precise execution more than longer-term traders, who aren’t typically as impacted by narrow margins.

We assess this by examining execution speeds whenever data is available. We also take into account latency and slippage, which measure the time delay and price difference between when a trade is placed and executed.

Account Funding

Choose a broker that makes deposits and withdrawals to your trading account a breeze.

Most brokers that we evaluate allow you to open an account with €250 or less (approximately SEK 2800), though some have no minimum deposit, making them ideal for beginners.

Also consider whether the broker that offers convenient funding solutions, which could help you save on transaction costs. According to Pay.com, Klarna remains one of the top five payment methods in Sweden.

FAQ
