Public conditions of three CFD providers, read from their own official pages and from the CNMV. It is not a ranking, not an offer and not a recommendation: we found no EU entity for any of the three, and all three appear in CNMV warnings.

Data read on 2026-10-31

Read this first

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. This page contains no affiliate links and no links to any broker. Deepwick has introducing-broker agreements with the brokers listed here and may receive a commission if you open an account with one of them. That does not affect the data or the criteria below.
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, including communications that redirect to a website offering them. For that reason this page links to no broker and carries no affiliate links to CFD or forex providers. Nothing here is an invitation to open an account or to trade.

How to read this table

  • Every datum shows the official page(s) it was read from and the date it was read. Sources are shown as text: this page links to no broker.
  • "Not published" means the provider does not publish it; "Not verified" means we did not find it on the official pages checked. Nothing is filled in from memory, comparison sites or third parties.
  • Licence numbers are the ones each provider declares: they were not confirmed in the regulator's register (see each row).
  • Spreads and commissions are indicative figures of the provider and change with the market. Check the current ones with the provider.
