FXMARE may receive compensation from some brokers listed on this page when you click a tracked link and open an account. Sponsored placements are clearly labelled. Compensation may affect which brokers we feature and where, but it does not affect our independent ratings or rankings, which follow our review methodology, and it never costs you more. See affiliate disclosure and how we make money.
Between 74% and 89% of retail investor accounts lose money when trading CFDs.
You should consider whether you understand how CFDs and leveraged products work and whether you can afford to take the high risk of losing your money. FXMARE is not a broker and does not offer these products; figures are indicative of those disclosed by regulated providers. This page is information, not financial advice.

Copy trading lets you mirror the positions of another trader automatically, so a beginner can follow an experienced strategy provider while learning, and a busy trader can diversify across signals. It is important to be clear up front: most well-regulated, cost-competitive forex brokers do not run their own in-house "social network" the way dedicated copy-trading platforms do. Instead, they enable copy trading through the platforms they support — most commonly cTrader Copy, or third-party signal services and tools layered on top of MetaTrader.
On this list we focus on regulated brokers with strong trading conditions where copy trading is genuinely available, and we are explicit about how each one delivers it. Where the feature comes through a third-party platform rather than the broker's own product, we say so, because that affects who is responsible for the service and what protections apply. Copy trading does not remove risk — you are still exposed to the strategy provider's losses — so the rankings below are editorial opinion based on our methodology, not a recommendation to copy any particular trader.
Availability: Copy-trading features, strategy-provider availability and the platforms that power them differ by broker entity and jurisdiction, and some are provided by third parties rather than the broker itself. Confirm exactly how copy trading is offered, who operates it and what protections apply before depositing or following any provider.
Why it makes the list: Supports cTrader, whose built-in cTrader Copy lets you follow and copy strategy providers natively, and also works with leading third-party copy tools — all under FCA/ASIC regulation with raw pricing that keeps copied-trade costs low. Multi-regulated ECN-style broker with raw spreads and the widest platform choice — MT4, MT5, cTrader and TradingView.
Why it makes the list: Another strong cTrader broker, so cTrader Copy is available out of the box, and its raw spreads matter here because copy trading multiplies your trade count — every pip of cost is replicated across copied orders. Raw-spread specialist with deep liquidity and full MetaTrader + cTrader support — a long-time favourite of scalpers and algo traders.
Why it makes the list: Offers cTrader alongside MT4 and MT5, giving access to cTrader Copy as well as the wider ecosystem of MetaTrader signal and copy services, backed by FCA/CySEC oversight. Long-established, FCA/CySEC-regulated broker with the full platform set — MT4, MT5, cTrader and FxPro Edge.
Why it makes the list: A beginner-friendly, low-minimum option where copy trading is delivered through XM's dedicated copy product and MetaTrader-based signal services rather than an in-house social feed — a gentle entry point for newcomers to social trading. Beginner-friendly, widely-regulated broker with a $5 entry, strong education and multilingual support.
Every broker on this list is independently scored against our published broker review methodology— regulation and safety, trading costs, platforms, instruments, deposits and withdrawals, support and country availability. Rankings are editorial and are never sold; sponsored placements are always labelled. Figures are indicative and vary by entity and jurisdiction — always confirm current terms on the broker's own site.
Trading forex, CFDs and crypto involves significant risk of loss and is not suitable for every investor. Leverage can work against you, and most retail investor accounts lose money trading CFDs. The information on FXMARE is general, is not personal financial advice, and does not account for your objectives or circumstances. Verify all terms with the broker and the relevant regulator before opening an account. See our full risk disclosure.
It varies, and that is the key point. Brokers that support cTrader give you cTrader Copy, a copy-trading system built into the platform itself. Others enable copy trading through their own add-on product or through third-party signal and copy services that connect to MetaTrader. We note the method for each broker on this page so you know whether the feature is native, a broker product, or supplied by a third party — which affects who is responsible for it.
No form of trading is safe or guaranteed, and copy trading is no exception. When you copy a provider you take on their strategy's full risk, including drawdowns and losing streaks, and past performance never predicts future results. Treat strategy statistics critically, diversify rather than copying a single trader, and only allocate money you can afford to lose. Copy trading can be a useful learning and diversification tool, not a shortcut to profit.
With copy trading you keep full control of your own account and can stop copying or close positions at any time — the trades are simply mirrored automatically. A managed account hands discretionary control to a third party who trades on your behalf, which involves different regulation and authorisations. Copy trading keeps the decision to follow or unfollow in your hands at all times.
You pay the same spread and commission on a copied trade as you would on a manual one, but copy trading often increases how many trades you place, because you inherit the provider's full activity. That is exactly why raw-spread or ECN brokers feature here: when costs are replicated across dozens of copied orders, a tighter all-in cost per trade makes a meaningful difference to net results.
