RoboForex has been operating since 2009 and is best known for two things: very cheap raw-spread accounts and very high leverage. It runs MetaTrader 4 and 5 alongside its own R StocksTrader platform, which opens up thousands of real stocks and ETFs.
It is also an offshore broker. Retail clients deal with RoboForex Ltd in Belize, and its European sister company stopped serving retail clients in 2025. This review covers what that means for you, plus costs, accounts and platforms, based on RoboForex’s own pages and independent reviews from October 2026.
RoboForex started in 2009 and built its business on low-cost MetaTrader accounts with small minimum deposits. It added its own multi-asset platform, R StocksTrader, and a copy trading service originally called CopyFX.
The group’s Cyprus company, RoboMarkets Ltd, held a CySEC license but stopped serving retail clients on 1 January 2025. A German company, RoboMarkets Deutschland GmbH, is BaFin regulated but only offers EU retail clients stocks, bonds and ETFs, not forex or CFDs.
All RoboForex trading accounts covered in this review are with RoboForex Ltd, licensed by the Financial Services Commission of Belize. RoboForex is also a member of the Financial Commission, an independent dispute resolution body whose compensation fund covers up to €20,000 per case if a member refuses to follow its ruling, and it carries civil liability insurance up to €2.5 million.
RoboForex does not operate in the US, Canada, Japan, Australia, Brazil, Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, Turkey, Iran or Indonesia, among others, and does not target UK or EU clients.
In total RoboForex lists over 12,000 instruments, most of them on R StocksTrader. The forex list is short compared with most brokers.
All accounts are available swap-free. Leverage drops to 1:1000 on Pro and ProCent once equity passes $10,000, and may be cut over weekends.
RoboForex accepts clients from many countries, but its excluded list is long: the US, Canada, Japan, Australia, Brazil, Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, Turkey, Iran, Indonesia and a number of smaller territories. It also does not target UK, EU or EEA residents. Check the list on RoboForex’s site before you sign up.
RoboForex’s copy trading service, formerly CopyFX, lets you follow traders on MT4, MT5 (with hedging enabled) and R StocksTrader accounts. Traders set their own fees for followers. Given the high leverage available on these accounts, copy carefully, cap how much you allocate and check each trader’s worst drawdown.
Deposits are free across all methods, including cards, Skrill, Neteller, STICPAY and local options. Base currencies are USD, EUR and gold.
Withdrawals are where RoboForex gets expensive. Independent reviewers list fees of about 1% for Skrill, 1.9% for Neteller, up to 2.6% plus $1.30 for cards, 2.5% plus $0.30 for STICPAY and up to 4% for local bank transfers. Factor these in, especially if you plan to withdraw often.
The Prime and ECN accounts are among the cheapest ways to trade forex anywhere. The Pro account, by contrast, is expensive at 1.3 pips.
