About the broker

Libertex is the CySEC-regulated stocks and CFD broker. Here's what it offers, where it's strong, and what to keep in mind.

What is Libertex

Libertex is a stocks and CFD broker, which has operated since 2012. In the EEA Area and Switzerland the service is run by Indication Investments Ltd, a Cyprus-based company regulated by CySEC (licence 164/12). Libertex's clients may trade currencies, indices, commodities, stocks and crypto as CFDs (contracts for difference) rather than as the underlying assets, as well as invest in real shares.

Platforms and minimum deposit

Libertex pairs the familiar MetaTrader 4 and MetaTrader 5 with its own Libertex platform and proprietary mobile app, which offers one-click trading and a user-friendly interface — handy for all traders. The minimum deposit is €100, and funding has several options for clients: the broker supports popular payment methods such as bank transfers, credit card, PayPal, Skrill, iDEAL and Przelewy24. The overall experience is deliberately user-friendly, favouring user-friendliness and account safety standards.

Pricing

One thing to understand up front is how costs are charged. On the flagship Libertex platform, pricing is a low-commission (from 0% depending on the underlying asset) and tight-spreads model, so the real cost depends on your trade size and the relevant CFD — it's worth running your expected volume through a cost calculator.

Regulation and protection

As a CySEC-regulated broker, Libertex offers coverage under the Investor Compensation Fund (ICF) and negative balance protection, which ensures you can't lose more than your account balance. Retail leverage can be set up to 1:30, in line with CySEC limits.

What to keep in mind

A few caveats. Libertex is a single-jurisdiction firm: its oversight comes solely from CySEC, without an FCA or ASIC fallback. Leverage can be set up to 1:30, which can be limiting for some traders. And because you're trading CFDs, you don't own the underlying assets — as with any leveraged product, CFDs carry a high risk of losing money quickly.

Who it's for

EEA Area and Switzerland residents who want a regulated broker.
Traders who prefer Libertex's user-friendly proprietary platform and app together with MT4/MT5.
Traders who value various payment methods — deposits are commission-free.
Traders willing to practice in real market conditions — a demo account is available for all users.

If you specifically want very high leverage, the CySEC cap of up to 1:30 here will feel too restrictive — but that cap is obligatory for CySEC-regulated brokers.
