easyMarketsStock Broker ReviewHas commissions

easyMarkets extends its fixed spread and guaranteed stop-loss model to share CFDs, risk management features that translate well to equity markets subject to earnings gaps and announcement volatility. For equity CFD traders who frequently trade around earnings releases, the fixed spread guarantee eliminates the risk of suddenly widened costs that variable-spread platforms expose clients to during high-volatility events. The dealCancellation feature, unique to easyMarkets, allows traders to cancel a losing trade within a set time window for a fee, functioning as a short-duration insurance policy on equity positions.

Share CFD range

easyMarkets provides share CFDs on major US and European equities. Fixed spreads apply regardless of market conditions, making cost predictable during earnings announcements or macro events that typically widen spreads on floating-rate platforms. The guaranteed stop-loss applies to equity CFD positions at no additional charge, providing a meaningful risk management advantage over platforms that charge extra for guaranteed stops.

Platform

Proprietary web and mobile platform alongside MT4. The easyMarkets platform includes Inside Viewer (sentiment) and dealCancellation, the latter functions as a short-term insurance option on stock positions.

Regulatory position

CySEC regulated (Cyprus), with ICF investor compensation up to EUR 20,000. ASIC regulated (Australia) with negative balance protection for retail clients.

Limitations

Fixed spreads are structurally wider than ECN floating spreads for high-frequency equity traders. dealCancellation fees add to effective trading costs. Share selection is limited.

Bottom line

easyMarkets suits traders who value price certainty and built-in equity risk protection over minimum cost, particularly useful when trading around scheduled corporate events.
