ForexMart is the trading name of a Cyprus Investment Firm located in Limassol, Cyprus and regulated by the Cyprus Securities Exchange (CySEC). Last year, it was named by ShowFx World as the Best Broker in Europe 2015 and Most Perspective Broker in Asia 2015.
Accounts
There are two accounts at ForexMart—the Standard and the Zero Spread. A minimum deposit of 1 USD is required to open either of the accounts and currencies in both can be in USD, EUR and GBP. The only difference in the two accounts is the spread of 2 pips that is charged for major currencies in the Standard account and the fee of 2 pips applied to major currency pairs in the Zero Spread account.
Leverage for both accounts range from 1:1 to 1:1000 and demo accounts are available.
Account Types Comparison

Features

ForexMart has designed different user-friendly, glitch-free widgets, as well as promotional materials, which can be integrated into any website and traders can take advantage of this when building their site.

Bonuses/Promotions
When a trader opens a ForexMart account and makes a deposit, he/she has the opportunity to get 30% of the total amount of money deposited. For example, if he deposits $100, a $30 bonus will be deposited in his account for a total balance of $130. The automatic system will generate the right amount of bonus.
The No Deposit Bonus program enables traders to test the trading platforms without experiencing any investment risk. All it takes is creating and validating an account. The bonus can be availed once and cannot be combined with other kinds of bonuses. Traders may receive a no deposit bonus of up to $150.
