ACY SecuritiesStock Broker ReviewHas commissions

ACY Securities provides share CFDs under ASIC regulation, providing retail traders access to equity markets with institutional-grade ECN execution. As an ASIC-regulated ECN broker, ACY applies the same execution model to equity CFDs as it uses for forex, providing spread-plus-commission transparency on share positions. The Platinum account provides the tightest ECN spreads on equity CFDs, making it the most cost-effective entry point for active share CFD trading at ACY.

Share CFD range

ACY offers major share CFDs including US large-caps (Apple, Amazon, Tesla, and other NYSE and Nasdaq names) and select Australian equities. ECN pricing on Platinum accounts provides competitive spread-plus-commission structure. The ECN execution model means equity CFD prices are sourced from multiple liquidity providers, producing tighter spreads during liquid market hours than fixed-spread or dealing-desk alternatives.

Platform

MT4 and MT5 are the primary platforms. Professional charting and technical analysis tools are available. No proprietary stock screener or fundamental research integration. MT5's built-in economic calendar and market news feed support fundamental analysis of equity CFD positions alongside the standard technical analysis toolset.

Regulatory position

ASIC regulated, retail clients receive negative balance protection and segregated client funds. ASIC is a tier-1 regulator with strict capital adequacy requirements. Client funds are held in segregated accounts at Tier 1 Australian banks, separate from ACY's own operational capital under ASIC's client money rules.

Limitations

Share CFD selection is narrower than dedicated stock brokers. No real share ownership, dividends, or ISA/SIPP wrappers. Research tools are basic.

Bottom line

ACY Securities suits active forex traders who want to extend into equity CFD markets within a familiar ASIC-regulated ECN environment.
