FXOpen review & overview
Platforms, account options and market coverage in one clear profile.
FXOpen's current UK platform materials centre on TickTrader across desktop, browser and mobile, with API access and order controls. The ECN account page lists balance/activity-based Basic, Classic, Advanced and Elite tiers rather than treating every client as eligible for the lowest commission. The pricing schedule distinguishes forex base-currency commissions from other CFD charging models.
