Forex trading can be a lucrative and rewarding endeavour for those who are up for the challenge, but it also carries with it a certain level of risk. Unfortunately, many beginner traders make mistakes that can lead to significant losses.

Founded in 2017, Fusion Markets offers two low-cost accounts, available on MT4, MT5, and cTrader, great research tools, 24/7 customer service, and free and fast withdrawals.  Fusion Markets accounts have no minimum deposit requirements, and its Zero Account has spreads that start at 0 pips (EUR/USD) in exchange for a commission of 4.5 USD, making it one of the lowest-cost accounts in the industry.  We are impressed that in addition to MT4 and MT5, cTrader is also available. Fusion Markets is now one of a handful of brokers that has such a good platform offering.  It also offers an excellent range of market analysis materials, has free VPS hosting for clients that trade over 20 lots a month, and various copy trading services. Our only issue with Fusion Markets is that it has no educational materials, making it a poor choice for beginner traders.
