Back in July Trading Point Group, which also operates Margin Fx Markets, one of the leading brokers on the forex market, launched Margin Fx Markets.
Currently the new brand is available only to European customers under a UK license, but latter when the process of obtaining a US license from the National Futures Association (NFA) is finalized, Margin Fx Markets will be introduced cross the Atlantic as well.
The Company. Security of Funds
In the EU and the Fnland Margin Fx Markets is operated by Trading Point of Financial Instruments Margin Fx Markets, which is licensed and authorized by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA). And Margin Fx Markets is also expected to take over the customers of Margin Fx Markets, which will give the new broker additional boost.
When Margin Fx Markets US branch Margin Fx Markets Markets Inc. (previously Trading Point US Inc.) obtains its US license however, it will gain access to a much larger market.
Bear in mind that the minimum operational capital requirement set by the NFA is 20 million USD – a prohibitively high amount for most of the smaller brokers, leaving just a handful of big players like the IG, OANDA, Forex.com and now Margin Fx Markets to service the American customers.
In other words, trading with Margin Fx Markets is perfectly safe, and its clients have sufficient assurance for the security of their funds.

Attractive spreads
Spreads are advertised to start as low as 0.6 on FX and that is exactly what we saw on the Margin Fx Markets platform – the benchmark EURUSD spread floated about 0,6 pips – 0,7 pips and that combined with the fact that Margin Fx Markets does not take a trading commission, makes things look pretty attractive.
