Back in 2001, the easyMarkets founders recognized that there was a complete lack of democracy in trading. Simply put, it was the banks, or nothing. The requirements for successful trading involved having enough capital (often meaning tens of thousands of dollars) to ward off issues such as wide spreads and slippage. We changed that by opening Forex trading up to anyone who wanted to be involved.

Back then, the industry only offered Forex trading, which we fundamentally changed as well. We made trading more accessible by allowing traders to deposit just $25 via credit cards. Our customers found this system favourable and responded with their loyalty – which in turn, helped us grow.

Subsequently, our CFD offerings would grow to include indices, energy, metals, cryptocurrencies and more. Because of this diversification of services, we rebranded from easy-Forex to easyMarkets.

easyMarkets is proud that it has successfully accomplished its goal of democratising trading and making it more accessible and easy - but still, we seek to offer more.

We continuously seek to innovate, providing our customers with the best possible tool kit for trading, which includes a Guaranteed Stop Loss with No Slippage, Inside Viewer, and our most innovative tool yet: easyTrade.*
