Not investment advice
This content is informational and is not investment advice or a personal recommendation. It does not take into account your objectives, your situation or your experience. Check that a provider is authorised in your country before you use it.
Commercial relationship
Deepwick has an introducing-broker (affiliate) agreement with the brokers listed here and may receive a commission if you open an account through the links on this page. It does not change the criteria below and the links are not a recommendation.
Risk warning
Trading leveraged products such as CFDs is complex and carries a high risk of losing money quickly because of leverage. Most retail accounts lose money with these products. For each CFD provider listed we show the percentage of retail accounts that lose money: the provider's own figure with its date and source when it publishes one, and ESMA's standard 74–89 % range when it does not. Only trade with money you can afford to lose and make sure you understand how the product works.
Spain: CNMV rules on CFD advertising
In Spain, the CNMV Resolution of 11 July 2023 restricts the advertising of CFDs to retail clients. Providers listed here may appear in CNMV warnings as not authorised in Spain: check the CNMV list of warned entities before opening any account. Nothing here is an invitation to open an account or to trade.
Criteria
- Regulation and supervisor, with a verifiable licence number and the date it was last checked.
- Protection of client funds and negative balance protection.
- Costs (spread, commission, financing), with the date they were read.
- Supported platforms and whether they work with Deepwick.
- Customer support in Spanish, and withdrawals.
- For CFD providers: the percentage of retail accounts that lose money — the provider's own figure when it publishes one, otherwise ESMA's standard 74–89 % range.
- Any commercial relationship with Deepwick, stated openly.
