Does CMC Markets or Errante have a better trust and regulation rating?
Trust and regulation are some of the most important factors to consider when choosing a Forex broker. Trust in the Forex trading business is almost entirely founded upon regulation. We spend many hours evaluating the safety of each broker by delving into their fine print and confirming each one of their regulatory licences on the online registers. The more top-tier authorities a broker is regulated by, the higher its trust rating.

Does CMC Markets or Errante have lower costs?
Another important aspect we consider when comparing brokers is the cost of trading. When evaluating trading costs, we always consider the minimum deposit required to open an account and the ongoing trading costs, including the spreads and commissions. When calculating trading costs, we measure the cost to trade one lot of EUR/USD using the broker’s account with the lowest minimum deposit. The cost includes both the spread and any commission charged.
Not all brokers publish their trading costs, so we often open accounts and trade on their platforms to verify the spreads and commissions. Based on our reviews, we found that CMC Markets has overall lower trading costs than Errante.

Which broker offers better deposit and withdrawal processes?
Although brokers may have reasonable trading fees, many traders are caught out by the high non-trading fees charged by some brokers, including deposits and withdrawals. Traders want to be able to deposit and withdraw funds quickly and cheaply. Most brokers have multiple funding methods with zero fees for making deposits, but some brokers make it more expensive and take longer to process withdrawals.
We rate brokers more highly that process withdrawals within 24 hours by multiple withdrawal methods and without charging processing fees. We found that neither CMC Markets nor Errante charges a withdrawal fee. Overall, Errante has better deposit and withdrawal processes than CMC Markets.
Which broker offers better educational support?
We often find that brokers offer very little in the way of educational materials, forcing traders to use other third-party sites or self-educate elsewhere.

More experienced traders also benefit from webinars led by experts in the field and advanced trading strategy sections with new trading ideas.

Our overall Verdict on CMC Markets
Founded in 1989, CMC Markets is a well-known Forex and CFD broker with a high trust rating and a strong presence in the UK. It has local FCA regulation and local customer support and offers spread betting accounts.
CMC Markets offers two live accounts with no minimum deposit requirements - a low-cost commission-free account with spreads starting at 0.7 pips on the EUR/USD, and a commission-based account with spreads of 0.1 pip and commissions of 0.005% (which amounts to 50 USD per lot traded), which is extremely high.
Trading is offered on both MT4 and its powerful, innovative proprietary platform that features numerous technical and fundamental analysis tools. CMC Markets also offers excellent education and market analysis materials to get new traders started, and although customer service is offered 24/5, it does not provide a live chat feature, which is a serious oversight by this broker.
Our overall Verdict on Errante
A regulated broker with no dealing-desk intervention, Errante caters to traders who prefer flexible trading conditions on the MT4 and MT5 platforms. However, traders should be aware that neither the minimum nor average spreads are published on its website.
Errante offers trading on multiple assets, including cryptocurrencies, share CFDs, commodities, metals, indices, and over 50 Forex pairs, an average selection compared to other brokers. Support is offered for both the MT4 and MT5 platforms in addition to a copy trading platform, but Errante offers virtually no trading tools.
With four live accounts, the entry-level account offers comparatively poor trading conditions, with a minimum deposit of 50 USD, and EUR/USD spreads of 1.50 pips. Trading costs improve on the VIP and Tailor-made accounts, but this is in exchange for much higher minimum deposits. The Tailor-made account is a customisable account, where traders receive personalised service can negotiate their trading conditions, making it a good option for professional traders.
One drawback is the lack of educational and market analysis materials available at Errante, forcing traders to self-educate elsewhere.
Which broker has the highest overall rating?
