Overview and regulation
FXGM is an online forex and CFD broker that has operated since 2011, headquartered in Cyprus. It trades under Depaho Ltd, which is regulated by the Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission (CySEC) and subject to the EU's MiFID framework. FXGM also holds authorization from Spain's CNMV (Comisión Nacional del Mercado de Valores) and South Africa's FSCA (Financial Sector Conduct Authority), extending its regulatory coverage beyond the EU.
Leverage
Leverage depends on jurisdiction. Retail clients trading under the EU framework are capped at 1:30 on forex, in line with ESMA rules. Clients who qualify as professional traders can access leverage up to 1:200, and South African clients also have access to higher leverage limits than EU retail clients.

The Discovery account requires a $2,000 minimum deposit with a 5% discount, while the top-tier VIP account requires $30,000 with a 25% discount. The entry-level Basic account requires a $200 minimum deposit.
Professional accounts offer leverage up to 1:200, negative balance protection, and enhanced trade execution.
Accounts left inactive for three consecutive months are charged a €150 inactivity fee.
Instruments and platforms
FXGM offers forex and CFDs on stocks, commodities, indices, ETFs, and cryptocurrencies. Trading runs on the broker's own WebPROfit platform, a browser-based tool with real-time charts and analytical resources that needs no download. FXGM does not offer MetaTrader 4.
