Trading Conditions

Minimum Initial Deposit

Direktbroker-fx’s clients are required to invest at least €100, which is an average amount to start with.

Spreads & Commissions

Direktbroker-fx offers variable spreads, which are really tight, averaged 0.1 pips on EUR/USD. Even if we add the applicable commission of €2.4 per standard lot round trip, the trading costs are incredibly low. However, we noticed that the execution on the Sirix web demo is slow, so may be slippage is an issue with this broker. In fact, that’s the main problem of Direktbroker-fx, highlighted in a user review in the FPA forum.

Leverage

The default leverage with this broker is 1:50, in line with CySEC’s latest regulations. The maximum leverage, however, is is 1:200, which is average. If you need higher leverage, you may check out a list of brokers, providing leverage equal to or exceeding 1:500 here.

Trading Platforms

Direktbroker-fx supports the popular MetaTrader 4 (MT4) platform, as well as Sirix.

In fact, the all-in-one forex and social trading platform Sirix is developed by the company behind the brand, Leverate.

Sirix allows investors to copy trades directly from the “Social Stream” section of the platform. The "Copy" function enables them to have positions opened, updated and closed without any explicit action or confirmation on their side.

Conclusion

Direktbroker-fx is a well-regulated broker that offers online trading in wide range of products with really good conditions. According to us, the main disadvantage of this broker is the slow execution speed. To sum up the above, here are the advantages and drawbacks with regards to this broker:
