Admiral Markets

Admiral Markets was established in 2001. The firm is a multi-asset broker, meaning they offer not only leveraged CFD and FX products but also physical stock investing.
Admiral Markets holds licences in the UK, Australia, Cyprus, and Jordan. They maintain physical offices in Bulgaria, Chile, Cyprus, Estonia, Georgia, Germany, Jordan, Malaysia, Poland, Romania, and the Seychelles.

Admiral Markets is an MT4 and MT5 broker, offering only these trading platforms.

Given the size of Admiral Markets and their global presence, you are in good hands from a customer support perspective. Admiral Markets goes to great lengths to educate their customers. Depending on your geographic location, you will be able to access leverage ranging from 1:30 up to 1:500.

There isn’t a great deal to worry about when it comes to Admiral Markets. However, if you are seeking a highly competitive broker, there are other options that are cheaper than Admiral Markets.

Considering that Admiral Markets does not offer its own proprietary platform, it feels like the broker is more of a “safely down the middle” option without any significant unique selling points.

For instance, they offer EUR/USD at 0.80. This is not particularly cheap, nor is it overly expensive. We have seen brokers offering EUR/USD spreads as high as 1.60 and others as low as 0.30.
Admiral Markets is a variable spread broker, so the spreads will (unfortunately) fluctuate.

Admiral Markets has an overall score of 30.80 and ranks reasonably well on TraderGuide’s ranking list.

If you choose Admiral Markets, you will benefit from strong regulatory oversight, but you will also find yourself working with a broker that is average in terms of platform offerings and slightly expensive in terms of pricing.
