The Radar Chart below highlights how the brokers stack up against each other across various metrics. The highest score a broker can receive in each area is 5.
At FxScouts, we help traders find the broker that suits their trading needs. In many cases, the best way to achieve this is to compare brokers side-by-side.
To compare markets.com and Weltrade, we used the same factors we use when reviewing brokers: The trust and regulation of the broker, the trading platform, the costs and trading conditions, and the level of education and market analysis available at the broker.
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.
In our comparison, we found that markets.com holds three Tier 1 and no Tier 2 licences, and Weltrade holds no Tier 1 and no Tier 2 licences.
Based on these findings, markets.com earned a higher trust rating than Weltrade.
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 markets.com has overall lower trading costs than Weltrade.
Traders want Forex brokers to offer them a choice of trading platforms, so we give brokers who offer multiple platforms higher ratings. Trading platforms we consider include MetaTrader4, MetaTrader5, cTrader and proprietary mobile and web-based platforms.
In this case, markets.com offers support for MT4, MT5 and markets.com and Weltrade offers support for MT4 and MT5.
In this case both markets.com and Weltrade offer copy trading.
A variety of CFD instruments – and a large range of CFDs for each instrument category allow traders more opportunities for profitable trading. The best brokers will have thousands of CFDs to trade, covering all these instrument categories. We found that markets.com offers a greater range and depth of instruments to trade than Weltrade. markets.com offers 56 Forex pairs to trade and Weltrade offers 37 Forex pairs to trade.
In this case, markets.com offers 25 cryptocurrencies while Weltrade offers 15 cryptocurrencies. So if you want to trade cryptocurrencies, we advise trading with markets.com.
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 Weltrade charges a withdrawal fee and markets.com does not. Overall, markets.com has better deposit and withdrawal processes than Weltrade.
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. Beginner traders need well-structured, well-presented materials in multiple formats to get a good start at trading. More experienced traders also benefit from webinars led by experts in the field and advanced trading strategy sections with new trading ideas.
markets.com has better educational support than Weltrade. Both markets.com and Weltrade offer educational support for more experienced traders.
To successfully predict the price movements of an instrument, traders will need access to frequent market research and analysis. We find that research and market analysis are always better when they are produced in-house and updated frequently. Third-party resources don’t show the same expertise in trading ideas, so we place a strong emphasis on frequent in-house updates. Some brokers also often offer interactive webinars where traders can learn from experts in the field.
We found that markets.com offers better research analysis than Weltrade and that both markets.com and Weltrade offer frequent webinars.
Markets.com offers traders fast, low-cost trading on a broad range of financial instruments, including over 1500 stock CFDs, Forex, commodities, cryptocurrencies, indices, ETFs, and bonds.
Although Markets.com offers only one live account, it offers more account benefits with higher minimum deposits. Spreads are extremely competitive, starting at 0.6 pips (EUR/USD), with no commissions and a minimum deposit requirement of only 100 USD on its Basic Account tier, making it accessible to beginner traders.
Full support is offered for MT4, MT5, and Markets.com's award-winning in-house platform. An advanced multi-asset trading platform, the Markets.com platform is packed full of features, including excellent trading tools, expert analysis, and in-depth charting.
Markets.com also provides a high level of customer service compared to other brokers, and its educational materials provide an excellent resource for beginners starting their trading careers.
For beginner traders who want low minimum deposits and prefer to trade in smaller trade sizes, Weltrade may be a tempting option. However, ongoing trading costs are higher than most other brokers, and Weltrade is not regulated, so trading security and safety cannot be verified.
An STP broker, Weltrade offers trading on a small range of tradable instruments, including 37 forex pairs, 2 commodities, 4 metals, and 15 cryptocurrencies, which is severely limited compared to other brokers.
Weltrade offers five live accounts and an unlimited demo account. Although the minimum deposit on its entry-level account is low at 25 USD, trading costs are high, with spreads averaging at 1.5 pips on the EUR/USD. Spreads tighten to 0.5 pips on the Pro Account, but this is in exchange for a minimum deposit requirement of 500 USD. Additionally, the trading costs on its Zulutrade Account are exorbitantly high.
Weltrade offers full support for MetaTrader4 and its successor, MetaTrader 5, but offers virtually no trading tools. It also lacks educational and market analysis materials, forcing traders to self-educate elsewhere.
