GO MarketsForex Broker ReviewUp to 500:1 leverage

Eighteen years of ASIC-regulated operation

GO Markets has held its ASIC licence since its founding in 2006, a track record that is meaningfully longer than most newer ECN competitors. For traders who place weight on regulatory history and longevity alongside the licence itself, GO Markets' eighteen years of operation under ASIC distinguishes it from brokers founded in 2017-2020.

ECN pricing on all three major platforms

The GO Xtreme ECN account delivers USD 5 round-turn with EUR/USD spreads averaging 0.0-0.1 pips, among the tightest in retail forex, across MT4, MT5, and cTrader. All three platforms receive the same ECN pricing, no upsell needed to access cTrader's built-in depth-of-market or MT5's extended instrument range.

Positioning toward experienced traders

The USD 200 minimum deposit on the ECN account is higher than Fusion Markets (none) or FP Markets (USD 100), placing GO Markets toward better-capitalised, more experienced traders. The ECN Go account at USD 200 is the standard entry point; the premium account types require higher funding. This is not a broker targeting the smallest accounts.

ASIC-only: Australian Tier 1 regulation, no FCA or CySEC dual-licence

ASIC (254963). Australian Tier 1 regulation exclusively, no CySEC or FCA dual-licence. International clients use GO Markets International with weaker protection.

Where it falls short

No FCA or CySEC licence, which limits options for UK and EU clients. The USD 200 minimum ECN account is higher than most peers. Research and educational content is adequate but not particularly distinguished. Brand recognition has not grown proportionally to the broker's age and quality.

Bottom line

GO Markets suits Australian traders who want a long-standing ASIC-regulated ECN broker, platform flexibility across MT4, MT5, and cTrader, and USD 5/lot pricing, particularly those who value the proven track record that newer competitors can't match.
