GO Markets strives to be the first choice for trading CFDs for aspiring and experienced traders

    Overall Rating

    Presentation

    GO Markets – considered by many to be the first MetaTrader4 broker to open in Australia – has more than a decade of experience in this part of the world, and represents the southern hemisphere with distinction on the global trading stage.

    Aiming to offer the best trading experience possible, GO Markets strives “to be the first choice for trading CFDs for aspiring and experienced traders”.

    GO Markets provides a solid collection of financial instruments available for trading, with more than 350 CFDs on Forex, Indices, Shares, Commodities and Cryptocurrencies.

    Launched in 2006 in Melbourne, Australia, GO Markets now has clients across the globe in over 150 countries and has branches in Melbourne, London, Taipei and Hong Kong.

    Over their years in the business, GO Markets has justifiably gained the reputation of a trustworthy, forward-thinking and intuitive trading company. Their Forex offering appeals to newbies and experienced traders alike and is highlighted by advanced technologies, competitive spreads, improved trading conditions and compliance with regulations. Their fast execution of orders, access to multiple liquidity providers and comprehensive educational resources are a major reason for their success.

    GO Markets is licensed and regulated in Australia, with their headquarters in Melbourne. Unsurprisingly, and as with most brokers, GO Markets is an advocate of the world-famous MetaTrader family of platforms produced by MetaQuotes Software Corporation.

    As recognition for their outstanding activity and reliable services, GO Markets has been awarded a series of prestigious awards, the most recent of which were those awarded by the Investment Trends in their Australia Leverage Trading Report of December 2019. GO Markets was the winner of the “Educational Materials/Programs” and “Customer Service” categories.

    Safety and Regulation

    When choosing a broker, savvy investors and traders will always check their licenses and regulating authorities. The security of a trader’s funds is paramount.

    GO Markets is regulated by the Australian Securities & Investment Commission (ASIC) in Australia, with the license number AFSL 254963 for GO Markets Pty Ltd.

    GO Markets has consistently complied with the rigours of the regulation and the standards of law, ensuring clients’ investments are safe and secure.

    Clients’ funds are held in segregated accounts which are in the custody of prominent Australian banks, such as Commonwealth Bank and National Australia Bank. “Segregated accounts” means that the funds deposited by clients in their trading accounts with GO Markets are kept in separate accounts from those of the company. These funds are not accessible for the broker’s current operations and, in the case of financial struggles, client funds will not be affected.

    GO Markets’ clients are able to check all legal details and policies related to GO Markets’ activity via their website’s “Legal” page. On this page you can see all the policies put in place for the smooth development of your trading activity with GO Markets. For example, General Advice Warning, ASIC Regulatory Benchmarks, Hedging Policy, Data Protection, Fair Usage Policy, etc.

    Plus, given that all trading operations are done online (account opening, deposit, withdrawal, etc.), GO Markets has implemented standard digital security processes. For example, firewalls to protect their servers, secured socket layer (SSL) protocol implemented for the websites and platforms and encryption protocol for data protection.

    Financial Instruments

    GO Markets is primarily a Forex broker, so they rely heavily on Forex trading. However, you can also trade a range of other popular classes of assets, such as CFDs like shares, indices, commodities or cryptocurrencies. In total GO Markets offers over 350 financial instruments, a selection that would be considered satisfactory by both beginners and pro traders.

    GO Markets’ offer of financial instruments comprises the following:

    Forex – 50+ currency pairs (6 major pairs, 20 minor pairs, 24 exotic pairs and two metals related XAG/USD, XAU/USD)
    Shares – CFDs on shares, a selection of 200 important shares traded on the Australian stock exchange and other prominent exchanges like NYSE & Nasdaq
    Indices – 14 indices available as CFDs, 12 cash indices – FTSE 100, DAX 30, US 500, US 2000, ASX 200, HK 50 – and 2 futures index China A50 and US Dollar Index
    Commodities – 4 commodities traded as CFDs including spot metals – gold and silver and spot energies – oil
    Cryptocurrencies – 5 cryptocurrencies traded as CFDs, not as assets – Bitcoin, Ripple, Litecoin, Ethereum and Bitcoin Cash
    Metals – the most popular precious metals gold and silver are tradeable as CFDs on pre-set lot sizes. The lot size for gold equals 100 oz, and for silver it’s 5,000 oz.
    Leverage is another important tool that experienced traders pay attention to. GO Markets allow maximum leverage on most assets, like 1:500 for Forex and commodities, 1:200 for indices and 1:10 for cryptos. Leverage is a great tool that allows traders to multiply their earnings with low deposits, if they know what they are doing. However, the reverse is also true; losses are multiplied not just profits. Leverage is a double edged sword. Use it wisely.

    Unique Features

    You may wonder why GO Markets is a contender with the most prestigious Australian brokers. What makes them outstanding?

    Well, they are a regulated broker, but all leading brokers are. They have a good selection of trading instruments, but, again, all top brokers have that.

    Here are the major reasons why GO Markets are such a distinguished trading provider:

    AutoChartist
    MT4 & MT5 Genesis
    Trading Central

    Economic News Calendar – since fundamental news is important for any trader, following official news, gathering data that other traders release on social media and collecting them in one place is highly useful

    GO Plus+ Account

    It’s possible to open an account as an individual trader, a joint account, a company account or as a trust/superannuation fund.

    Account Opening
    Opening a live trading account with GO Markets is a simple process. Just click on the ‘Open a live account’ button you can see on almost every page of the site (at the top)

    To open an individual account you will need to complete a five page form and include your personal details (name, date of birth, phone, email), information about yourself, trading preferences, identity check, fund and trade. Once your personal details are inserted, you will be directed to your Individual Account on GO Markets where you can make financial operations and access reports and a range of other useful tools.

    Taking into consideration that GO Markets is a regulated broker, you will need to provide documents that prove your identity before finishing the registration process.

    Demo Account
    As with all reputable Forex brokers, GO Markets offers their clients a demo account that can be used to test their services.

    GO Markets’ demo account comes preloaded with funds of $50,000 or equivalent, has an expiration interval of 30 days and can be used on MetaTrader 4 and 5’s desktop and mobile versions.

    A demo account allows you to test GO Markets’ services, as it will show you all the conditions of a live account without needing to involve your trading capital.

    If you’re just beginning to trade then using a demo account is an absolute must as you figure out how the financial markets work and what the trading activity implies. Use the demo account to learn how to trade and build your trading strategies without spending money. Remember to start small on a live account and invest in financial markets only the amount of money that you can afford to lose.

    If you are already an established trader, use the demo account to test the services of other brokers if you think you need improved or superior trading conditions. You can also use the demo account to test trading strategies and new EAs as well as backtesting them. By doing so you can spare yourself from otherwise costly mistakes.

    Fees

    GO Markets’ spreads and commissions depend on the type of account a trader has and can also vary with the instrument being traded. GO Markets offers variable spreads.

    Standard account holders pay just spreads and no commissions, while GO Plus+ account holders pay lower spreads but some fixed commissions. Quotes are derived from a selection of 22 liquidity providers.

    Taking these factors into consideration, our GO Markets broker review considers that it is a competitive broker in Australia in terms of fees and commissions. GO Markets is a good option for traders aiming to get the lowest trading costs.

    It is also worth noting that with GO Markets, traders can change their desired leverage as per their preferences. By default, all accounts have a set leverage rate of 1:100. A trader may, however, change his leverage to anywhere between 1:1 to 1:500 taking into consideration his trading balance.

    Forex trading
    Average spreads are listed on the GO Markets website. For Forex pairs they start at 0.2 pips for instruments like EURUSD or USDJPY, while the leverage for Forex pairs can go up to 1:500, the maximum allowed in the industry. All details about Forex trading are provided in the Products tab.

    GO Markets Forex Spreads
    Figure 12: GO Markets Forex Spreads
    Share Trading
    GO Markets provides share trading services only in the form of CFDs, which means you cannot buy stocks as assets. You can, however, trade CFDs having as support stocks listed on the ASX, NYSE and Nasdaq.

    To trade CFDs on shares you pay some commissions when the trade is opened and closed. Shares can be traded only on MT5 and the leverage is 1:20.

    Costs associated with trading CFDs on shares are:

    GO Markets Share CFD trading
    Figure 13: GO Markets Share CFD trading
    Cryptocurrency Trading
    The hottest trend in the trading world in recent years is cryptocurrencies. With GO Markets, you can trade CFDs on Bitcoin, Ripple, Ethereum, Bitcoin Cash and Litecoin with a 20% margin.

    As with most Forex brokers, GO Markets charges swaps (overnight fees) at the end of each day. Unlike some other brokers, however, there is no inactivity fee when trading with GO Markets.

    Deposits and Withdrawals

    All deposits and withdrawals with GO Markets will be executed from a trader’s Client Portal. To access the Client Portal you will need to login on the GO Markets site. Inside the Client Portal you can then choose a payment method that best suits you. Be aware, however, that you will need to use the same method to deposit and to withdraw funds. For example, if you deposit via credit card you will have to withdraw via credit card and not via some other method, like Neteller.

    GO Markets does not operate third party transactions, meaning you will have to deposit and withdraw from an account under your own name.

    GO Markets does not charge fees for deposits and withdrawals. There may, however, be fees incurred for international payments.

    Overall, GO Markets presents a standard collection of payment methods:

    Credit/Debit Card – MasterCard and Visa. Processed instantly
    Online Payment gateways: POLi, BPay and Fasapay. In general, payments via these methods are processed in a few hours.
    e-Wallets: Skrill and Neteller. Processed instantly.
    Bank Transfer. Payments are executed in 2-7 business days, depending on the financial institutions involved.
    Withdrawals are processed within the same day if requests are made before 1 PM Sydney time, and the following business day if the request is made after 1 PM.

    GO Markets payment methods and accepted currencies
    Figure 14: GO Markets payment methods and accepted currencies
    Minimum Deposit
    Score 4.8 out of 5

    GO Markets imposes a minimum deposit of 200 AUD, a level that permits virtually anyone to start trading. This level of minimum deposit is competitive among Australian brokers, even if there are some other brokers that do not impose any minimum. The reality is that if you want to see decent results with your trading activity you will have to start with a decent sum. You can, of course, start with the minimum – this would even be recommended for beginners – but, if you want to make consistent profits then trading with only a couple hundred dollars will not be enough most of the time.

    Platforms

    GO Markets is a MetaTrader broker and thus they use the world-famous suite of platforms produced by MetaQuote Software Corporation which is used by most traders around the world. GO Markets was among the first brokers who brought MT4 to Australia.

    Besides the standard offer of MetaTrader, GO Markets also provides a collection of plugins and add-ons to improve their customers’ trading experience and performance. These add-ons are: MT4 & MT5 Genesis, AutoChartist, VPS, Myfxbook, a-Quant.

    GO Markets offers solid trading services with competitive spreads; the most used trading platform in the world (MetaTrader) and a selection of the most traded financial instruments.

    GO Markets is a good option for beginner traders that are just starting their activity in the financial markets thanks to their strong educational resources.

    However, we also recommend GO Markets for more advanced traders that require automated trading features, social trading facilities and a combination of trading styles like hedging and scalping.

    Pros:

    Regulated by an authority with good reputation (ASIC)
    Lengthy experience in the industry (14+ years)
    Special features: MetaTrader Genesis, AutoChartist, Trading Central and a-Quant, among others
    Competitive commissions and spreads starting with 0 pips
    STP and ECN execution
    Fast order execution thanks to innovative technology
    The industry leading trading platform MetaTrader with versions MT4 and MT5
    A good selection of payment methods
    Professional customer service
    Strong education and resources library
    Cons:

    A comparatively small selection of financial instruments
    Not regulated by the FCA or in Europe
    Does not provide services in US and 35 other high-risk jurisdictions
    Only two types of accounts offered

    Conclusion

    Is This Broker a Good Option For Me?
    This is a tough question and is rather difficult to offer a general answer, as the services of a Forex broker cater to personal needs and purposes. It is up to you what requirements you have for a broker; what are the criteria that it should meet; what are your goals and trading strategies etc.

    GO Markets is a good option if you are a beginner or if you are focused particularly on Forex, interested in social trading and automated trading and if you do not require an extended selection of financial instruments.

    If you need a large variety of markets to choose from, or if you want to buy stocks and not just trade CFDs on stocks, you might consider the offer of 350+ instruments of GO Markets unsatisfactory.

    Conclusion
    GO Markets is one of Australia’s top Forex brokers and offers a range of features that make it a reliable choice. These are: a prominent trading platform, special plugins to improve trading activity, an extensive educational library and a good selection of instruments.

    This review of GO Markets would recommend them as a broker to seriously consider for your trading activity if you are not an extremely sophisticated trader yet.
