CLMarkets

CLMarkets, officially known as Core Liquidity Markets, launched in 2013 and is registered under CLMarkets Ltd in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines. The broker also maintains a presence through Core Liquidity Markets Pty Ltd in Australia. It offers Forex and CFD trading via the MetaTrader 4 (MT4) platform, a popular and trusted interface known for its robust charting tools, automated trading capabilities, and support for Expert Advisors. The trading portfolio includes a diverse mix of over 50 currency pairs—both major and exotic—plus stocks, commodities, global indices, and cryptocurrencies. Account types are differentiated as Standard and ECN. The Standard account typically offers fixed spreads and requires a minimum deposit of around USD 100, while the ECN account provides raw spreads close to 0.0 pips at the cost of a fixed per-lot commission. Leverage can go up to 1:500, depending on the instrument and client classification. Payments are flexible—clients may deposit and withdraw via credit/debit cards, bank transfers, e-wallets (e.g. Skrill, Neteller), and even cryptocurrency. Customer support is available 24/6 in multiple languages including English, Spanish, and Portuguese. However, CLMarkets' regulation is limited. While the Australian entity is reportedly licensed by ASIC, its actual operational authority appears opaque, and the SVG entity offers little in terms of investor protection. SVG is not considered a robust regulatory jurisdiction, and there's no evidence of fund segregation or compensation schemes. This raises concerns about client fund safety and dispute resolution. Feedback from traders is mixed. Some praise the low spreads, access to MT4, and flexibility in funding. Yet, other users report withdrawal delays and note that regulatory oversight is weak. In summary, CLMarkets offers strong trading tools, competitive trading conditions, and versatile instrument access. But due to its regulatory ambiguities and offshore presence, it remains a higher-risk broker—best suited for traders who value product variety but are comfortable with limited regulatory safeguards.
