Platforms include MT4, MT5, TradingView, TradeLocker. Eightcap provides 800+ CFDs (56 forex pairs, 120+ crypto CFDs, 590+ stock CFDs, 16 indices, ~16 commodities) across Forex, funded via Visa/Mastercard, Bank Wire (J.P. Morgan / Eurobank), PayPal, Skrill, Neteller, Cryptocurrency (Bitcoin and others).
Eightcap earns strong trust marks through simultaneous ASIC, FCA, and CySEC regulation, meaning retail clients in major jurisdictions benefit from negative balance protection, segregated funds, and compensation schemes. Its Raw account pricing ($7 round-turn on near-zero spreads) is competitive but not the cheapest in the ECN space. The TradingView integration and ~120 crypto CFDs are genuine differentiators; the lack of proprietary tools, thin education suite, and mid-tier commodity range are the clearest gaps relative to top-tier peers like IC Markets or Pepperstone.
