Forex Brokers With Guaranteed Stop-Loss Orders

OANDA is my pick for most traders who want a guaranteed stop, because the premium is charged only when the stop triggers and there is no minimum deposit to get started. If you hold positions over news events or weekends, the add-on matters: you can attach a GSLO to an open position, so protection is not locked out once your trade is live. Note that the GSLO runs on OANDA web and mobile, not on MT4, MT5 or TradingView.

The GSLO is offered by OANDA Australia, OANDA Asia Pacific (Singapore) and OANDA Europe Limited (UK), regulated by ASIC, MAS and the FCA respectively, and it works on OANDA web and OANDA mobile only. It is not offered by the US or Canadian entities, and a GSLO set on OANDA web shows as a normal stop inside MT4, where it cannot be modified.

The premium is charged only if the GSLO is triggered. A GSLO can be attached to a new order or an existing position, but only during market hours. It must sit beyond a minimum distance from the price, shown on the ticket, and it is not allowed on hedged positions, so a trader running long and short on the same instrument needs standard stops. A stop loss is the default setting on OANDA web and mobile tickets, and you can change it. The GSLO covers CFDs across forex, indices and gold, and it is not available on crypto.

There is no minimum deposit, so the account can be opened at whatever size suits the trading plan. OANDA Australia lists 68 forex CFDs and 86 share CFDs, and its platforms are OANDA web, OANDA mobile, MT4, MT5 and TradingView, though the GSLO works on OANDA web and mobile only. OANDA Europe Limited (UK) offers one spread-only account, with EUR/USD spreads advertised from 0.6 pips, and OANDA Australia offers spread-only pricing from 0.7 pips and raw pricing from 0.0 pips plus AUD 3.50 commission per side per 100k. My advice is to start with the account that matches your region.

Published premium rates are why I send detail-minded traders to StoneX Trading: it lists its GSLO premium rates by market, so you can read the rate before placing the stop and know the worst-case cost in advance. There is nothing to pay for attaching the stop, and the premium is charged only if it triggers. If you want to see the price of protection before you trade, StoneX Trading publishes rates you can check.

StoneX Trading is a trading name of StoneX Financial Ltd, authorised and regulated by the FCA (FRN 446717), and the GSLO sits on the StoneX platform. There is no upfront charge for attaching it. If it triggers, the premium is charged as a separate item on the account, so check the rate before you place the stop.

The published premium examples include 1.4 x quantity on a UK 100 CFD, 1.2 x stake on an EUR/USD CFD, 0.25% of notional on a Barclays share CFD, and 3 x quantity on Wall Street. Because the premium scales with position size, a larger trade means a larger bill if the stop fills.

There is no minimum deposit, though card deposits carry a GBP 100 minimum per transaction. Compare the two accounts before funding one: Standard, with spreads as low as 0.8 points, and MT4, with spreads as low as 0.5 points. The platforms are the StoneX web trader, the mobile app, MT4 and TradingView. Which of these carry the GSLO is not stated, so confirm in the platform before you rely on it. I would pick the Standard account for traders who work from the browser.

Free-to-place guaranteed stops are why I like IG: there is no charge to set the stop, and the premium is payable only if it triggers, varying by market. In the regions where the Limited Risk Account is offered, that account adds a guaranteed stop to every position you open, so check availability where you live before counting on it.

Guaranteed stops are available on IG's web platform and app, and they are not available on L2 Dealer. They are free to place, and the premium is payable only if the stop triggers, varying by market, so compare the rate on each instrument before you set the stop.

IG also offers a Limited Risk Account, which is available in some regions, including Australia and Singapore, and French-branch retail clients get it by default. It is not listed for the UK, Europe, NZ, Dubai, Japan or the USA. Where it is available, it changes how the whole account handles risk rather than one stop at a time.

IG's GSLO runs on its web platform and app. The regulators to know are the FCA, ASIC and MAS, depending on which entity serves the account, and the US business trades as tastyfx, not IG. I would open the account that matches your region, then check the premium rate for each market in the platform before placing a first guaranteed stop.

My pick for traders who want a guaranteed stop on every position without thinking about it is CMC Markets, because GSLOs can be set as the default stop through Order Settings. The charging model is the trade-off: you pay the premium when the order is set, and it is refunded only if the stop does not trigger. If you close most positions manually, that refund model works in your favour.

The GSLO premium is paid when the order is set, not when it triggers. It is refunded if the GSLO is not triggered, including when the GSLO is removed, changed to a regular or trailing stop, or the trade is closed, so a manually closed position does not cost you the premium.

The GSLO is available for most assets but not all, so check the ticket before assuming protection is on. GSLOs can be set as the default stop through Order Settings, which means every new position starts with a guaranteed stop rather than a standard one.

There is no stated minimum deposit figure, so the account can be sized to the trading plan. CMC Markets, founded in 1989, is regulated by the FCA, ASIC, MAS and CIRO, and its platform carries over 330 currency pairs, with 175 on MT4. My recommendation is to open the account, then decide through Order Settings whether the GSLO should be your default stop.

If you trade from TradingView, easyMarkets is where I would send you, because it is the only broker on this page that states its guaranteed stop works there, alongside its own web platform and app. The GSLO is an optional add-on paid through a wider spread, so you take protection trade by trade. It is not on MT4 or MT5.

The GSLO is an optional add-on activated with a wider spread, so protection is paid for on the trades where you want it rather than on every trade, and the cost shows up as that wider spread on the position carrying the GSLO. It works on the easyMarkets web platform, the mobile app and TradingView, and it is not available on MT4 or MT5, so a trader on MetaTrader does not have this tool. easyMarkets is regulated by ASIC and CySEC, and support runs 24/5.

Commission is 0 on every account. The international Web/App/TradingView Standard account has fixed spreads from 0.6 pips on EUR/USD and a USD 25 minimum, while the MT4/MT5 Standard account has floating spreads from 1.2 pips and the MT4/MT5 VIP account runs from 0.6 pips with a USD 2,500 minimum. In Australia the minimum is AUD 200, and the MT4/MT5 Pro account requires AUD 5,000. I would choose the Standard account if the GSLO on TradingView is your draw.

My pick for traders who work from the app is Plus500, because its GSLO sits on its proprietary platform, web and mobile, with no MetaTrader route to think about. The cost model is the trade-off: you pay a wider spread, charged at order time, and the GSLO can only be set when a position is opened or an order is placed, and it cannot be removed once set.

The GSLO is available on some instruments only, so check the ticket before you assume protection. It is charged as an extra spread, and that spread is non-refundable, so it is paid whether or not the stop triggers. A GSLO can only be set when opening a position or placing an order, and it cannot be removed once set, which means the decision is locked in at entry. The GSLO runs through Plus500's UK and Australian CFD entities, regulated by the FCA and ASIC. The US entity offers futures, not CFDs, so there is no GSLO there.

Plus500 does not publish a single minimum deposit figure, because it varies by payment method, so check the deposit screen for the method you plan to use. The GSLO sits on the proprietary platform, web and mobile, and it is set in the order ticket when the position is opened, since it cannot be added later. The UK and Australian CFD entities, regulated by the FCA and ASIC, are the ones that carry the GSLO.
