GO Markets Review 2026

How safe is GO Markets?

GO Markets has a trust score of 61, based on its regulation, reputation, and reviews.

1. Regulation

An international client opens an account with GO Markets Pty Ltd (MU), a Global Business Company registered in Mauritius, company number 170969, holding FSC Mauritius licence GB19024896 as an Investment Dealer since February 20, 2020. The registered office is Level 7, Office 9, ICONEBENE, Lot B441, Rue de L’Institut, Ebene, Mauritius, and the Terms and Conditions (version September 2025) are governed by the laws of Mauritius. The firm is not directed to residents where use would be contrary to local law, it serves no sanctioned jurisdictions, and its FAQ states “We cannot accept US clients”, so check your own position before applying.

AFSL is an Australian Financial Services Licence.

Under Terms 3.6, you are categorised as a Retail Client unless you give enough proof to be categorised as a Wholesale Client. Client money is paid into a segregated bank account with the Mauritius Commercial Bank (MCB), reconciled daily and monthly, but the Terms say segregation does not protect money from the risk of loss, it may be commingled with other clients’ money, and the firm keeps any interest. The documents disagree on hedging: the Disclosure Statement says the firm does not use retail client funds for hedging, while the Terms let money be withdrawn to hedge the firm’s own risk. Under Terms 3.1.9 the firm acts as principal and Market Maker, so it takes the other side of its clients’ trades. Negative balance protection is stated both ways: the Disclosure Statement says the firm takes negative balances onto its own balance sheet as a cost of business, but its Terms let the firm refuse where misconduct or market abuse caused the loss, and another clause says the client remains liable for any shortfall after close-out. The stop-out sits at a 50% margin level. Leverage runs to 500:1, the firm’s published maximum. No compensation scheme is named anywhere in the firm’s documents or Mauritius pages. A complaint is reviewed with a resolution attempt inside 2 business days, a written complaint to [email protected] gets an answer within 30 days, and the Office of the Ombudsperson for Financial Services in Mauritius can take the matter after that.

The ASIC and CySEC licences sit with other firms in the group: GO Markets Pty Limited serves Australian clients, and GO Markets Ltd serves EU clients. Their protections, from leverage caps to compensation cover, stay with those firms’ own clients and none reaches a client of the Mauritius firm. In my opinion the distinction matters more than the headline: the group holds ASIC and CySEC licences, but you would not be opened with those firms or get their protections.

2. Reputation

GO Markets was founded in Melbourne, Australia in 2006. GO Markets draws 90,500 worldwide branded Google searches for September 2026, which ranks it seventeenth among the 61 brokers this site tracks. Similarweb reported 109,198 global visits in February 2026, placing it 52nd. The broker does not disclose its client numbers or trading volumes, so your picture of its scale rests on those search and traffic figures alone. I read GO Markets as a niche operator with modest visibility rather than a mass-market name.

3. Reviews

There are good reasons to choose GO Markets: I think its low forex commission is the standout, the spreads are tight, the platform line-up covers MT4, MT5, cTrader and TradingView, and the education and support are good. Remember that your account sits with GO Markets Pty Ltd (MU), regulated by the FSC of Mauritius, not with the Australian or EU firms. If those terms suit, the cost side of the offer is strong.

Our score for GO Markets is set against every other broker on compare broker accounts.

How this is measured

Google Ads reports how many times a month people searched each broker's brand terms, and the brokers are ranked on that figure alone.

A term counts for a broker only when that broker's own website holds the first organic Google result for it; bare brand words that any company could own are left out.

A month-on-month change prints only where the previous month reached 1,000 searches, because Google rounds smaller volumes.

The figures refresh on the 15th of each month with the newest month Google has published, and the first-result check repeats every quarter.

GO Markets spreads and fees

What trading GO Markets costs

One standard lot of EUR/USD on GO Markets' raw account costs US$8.80 for the round turn: 0.38 pips of spread (US$3.80) plus US$5.00 commission. One standard lot of EUR/USD on GO Markets' standard account costs US$13.40 for the round turn: 1.34 pips of spread (US$13.40), with no commission.

Cost of trading EUR/USD with GO Markets, at 1 standard lot and 20 trades a month

Account	A month of trading	One round turn, 1 lot
Raw spread plus commission0.38 pips, tested, US$5.00 commission	US$176.00	US$8.80
One spread, no commission1.34 pips, tested	US$268.00	US$13.40

A pip on EUR/USD is US$10.00 per standard lot, so the cost of a round turn is the spread in pips times that, plus any commission.

As a client of GO Markets Pty Ltd (MU), your account options are listed below:

• Standard Account (spreads from 0.8 pips, no commission, up to 500:1)
• GO Plus+ Account (spreads from 0.0 pips, US$2.50 per side on FX, up to 500:1)
• Micro Account (US$10 minimum, no commission, up to 500:1)
• GO Professional Account (by application, selective criteria apply)

1. Raw Account Spreads

The GO Plus+ account is the commission account at GO Markets Pty Ltd (MU), with spreads published from 0.0 pips and a commission of US$2.50 per side per lot on forex. I think the low commission is what makes this account cheap, because the spread you pay stays tight while the commission stays low. The GO Plus+ spreads compare well for most currency pairs, and the commission is the standout part of the pricing. If you trade actively, the maths on entry and exit costs favours this account over Standard.

Avg. spreads are taken from each broker’s website and updated monthly. Last update on 1 Sep 2026, corrected 12 Oct 2026

The spreads on this account are tighter than the standard average, except for the EUR/JPY pair but only by a small margin.

Raw-spread pricing on this commission account starts from 0.0 pips, and the firm’s published EUR/USD average is 0.1 pips, with the low commission cost remaining the account’s strong point. Use the calculator below to compare GO Markets’ trading costs with competitors such as Pepperstone, Eightcap and CMC Markets adjusting for trade size, currency pair, and base currency.

2. Raw Account Commission Rate

GO Markets commissions are USD 2.50 / AUD 3.00 per side and USD$5.00 / $6.00 round-turn, which is among the best in the industry. A commission of $3.50 per side and a $7.00 round-turn is relatively standard among most brokers. This means you are paying $2 less per round-turn when you close your trading position, which will save you a lot over time.

In my opinion, GO Plus+ suits active and high-volume traders more than anyone else. Because you pay the commission on each lot when you enter and exit, frequent trading is where the low rate earns its keep. Occasional traders may find Standard a better fit.

3. Standard Account Fees

The Standard Account is commission-free, with Standard spreads published from 0.8 pips, and the firm’s own EUR/USD table shows a 0.9 pip average for that account. In my view that spread level is fair for a commission-free account, though you pay less overall on GO Plus+ if you trade often.

In my opinion the Standard account suits beginners, because the main charge sits in the spread rather than a separate commission. The swap-free (Islamic) variant is available on MT4 only, with 11 free days before daily admin fees apply. A demo account lets you practise without risking money: US$50,000 in virtual funds, covering forex, indices, commodities and share CFDs, and it runs for 30 days. That is a fair stretch of time to test a strategy before any live deposit.

GO Markets Pty Ltd (MU) pays volume rebates worth up to 30% of the spreads and commissions paid, on both the Standard and GO Plus+ accounts. Forex tiers run by monthly notional volume: 10% from US$10 million, 15% from US$50 million, 25% from US$100 million, and 30% from US$250 million. Crypto, indices and commodities carry their own tiers, with gold and silver excluded, and if you qualify in one asset class you get the same tier on the others. The rebate lands in the trading account in the first week of the next month. I think the real savings here belong to active traders, whose monthly volume clears the first tier most easily.

GO Professional Account

GO Professional is available by application, with selective criteria, and brings increased leverage to clients who qualify. In my view it is worth knowing about even if you never apply, because it explains the firm’s margin model. The Dynamic Margin schedule, which the firm makes available exclusively to GO Professional (wholesale) clients, sets the maximum leverage below:

• FX majors and FX minors: 500:1 (non-DM period), 200:1 during DM window
• Major and other indices: 500:1 (non-DM), 200:1 during DM window
• Gold (XAUUSD): 500:1 (non-DM), 100:1 during DM window
• Silver: 100:1
• Oil (US/UK): 200:1
• Natural gas, soft commodities, copper: 50:1
• VIX: 20:1

The Dynamic Margin period starts one hour before weekend market close and applies to new positions only. Existing positions opened outside the DM window are not affected. GO Professional is by application only and subject to selective eligibility criteria.

4. Other Fees

The deposits page for GO Markets Pty Ltd (MU) states 0% fees, but the Disclosure Statement tells a different story for cards: 1.8% handling on AUD deposits and 3% in other currencies. Nowhere on the Mauritius site or in its documents is an inactivity charge mentioned. I would check the card fee before you fund, since a 3% charge eats into what you deposit.

Micro Account

The Micro account is listed on the Mauritius account page with a US$10 minimum, no commission, and up to 500:1 as the firm’s published maximum leverage. Its Create account button, however, opens a form naming GO Markets International Ltd, a Seychelles firm holding FSA Securities Dealer licence SD043, not GO Markets Pty Ltd (MU). So a Micro account may not sit with the Mauritius entity at all. I would read the agreement at sign-up carefully before you fund this account.

Verdict Of GO Markets Fees

I think GO Markets Pty Ltd (MU) holds its own on cost, with spreads in line with or better than the industry and low commissions. If you trade at volume, the rebates add further savings.

Deposits and withdrawals with GO Markets

To open an account with GO Markets, there is a range of funding methods available.

What is the minimum deposit at GO Markets?

The answer depends on where you look: the FAQ says there is no minimum deposit requirement to open a live trading account, the Disclosure Statement puts the initial deposit at generally AUD 200, and the Micro account shows US$10. I would treat the FAQ’s answer as the firm’s current position and check the account terms before relying on the US$10 figure.

Account Base Currencies

To fund your account, GO Markets allows several base currencies including AUD, USD, EUR, GBP, NZD, CAD, SGD, CHF and HKD. GO Markets has no minimum deposit requirement, so you can start trading with any amount.

Deposit and Withdrawal Options and Fees

GO Markets Pty Ltd (MU) takes Visa and Mastercard deposits in AUD, USD, GBP, EUR, NZD, SGD, CAD, CHF and HKD, processing in up to 1 hour, plus Skrill, Neteller, local bank transfer in THB, MYR or IDR, international bank transfer in 13 currencies, and crypto in USDT. The deposits page states 0% fees, but the Disclosure Statement charges card handling at 1.8% on AUD deposits and 3% in other currencies. Accounts come in nine currencies: AUD, USD, GBP, EUR, NZD, SGD, CHF, CAD and HKD. I would fund by a method that avoids the card fee, and check the timing before your first deposit.

GO Markets trading platforms and app

Clients of GO Markets Pty Ltd (MU) get MetaTrader 4, MetaTrader 5, cTrader and TradingView, plus GO WebTrader for MT4 and MT5 in the browser, with all four platforms also on Android and iOS. I think that line-up covers almost any trading style. If a specific platform matters to you, confirm it before signing up.

Both MT4 and MT5 are available for mobile trading on Android or iOS compatible devices, on desktop for windows or mac PCs and as a WebTrader.

MetaTrader 4

The MT4 platform is the most popular forex platform globally and GO Markets is one of the first brokers to introduce the platform in Australia. Key features of the platform include:

• Trading across forex, commodities and indices
• +61 technical analysis objects and indicators
• Automated trading through Expert Advisors (EAs)
• 30 built-in indicators that monitor market movements

While not as intuitive as other platforms, the MetaTrader 4 interface is functional. The platform was designed with de-centralised trading in mind, hence why it is popular for forex trading. This, combined with the fast execution speed is the founding reason for the MT4 platform’s popularity.

The other key strength is the Expert Advisors (EAs). EAs allow you to buy and sell trading applications to automatically trade on the market. With the MT4 platform being the most popular, this marketplace has the most applications available worldwide.

Overall, the MT4 platform is suited for currency markets but is limited to share trading. Other than that, the platform is great for those considering automation and purchasing algorithmic packages from developers. Choosing the MT4 platform also makes it easy to switch providers, as the best forex brokers mostly offer the MetaTrader 4 platform.

MetaTrader 5

MetaTrader 5 is an upgrade of MT4, in nearly every way. MT5 allows you to trade on centralised exchanges, which means a bigger range of share CFDs, in particular. The platform also gives you access to a greater range of advanced trading tools, including:

• 80+ technical analysis objects and indicators
• 21 timeframes
• Market depth insights
• Exchange trading (particularly shares)
• One-Click trading
• EAs, scalping and day trading available

While MetaTrader 5 is slightly newer than MetaTrader 4, it shouldn’t be viewed as a better platform. Rather, a trader should view this as a different trading platform where MetaQuotes have focused on an integrated trading experience. This means that instead of just focusing on forex trading, the platform has a balanced trading experience for shares (stocks), futures and CFDs.

Overall, if you are looking to trade more than just currency markets on a regular basis, you may want to consider MT5 over MT4.

cTrader

cTrader runs on Mac, Windows, web, Android and iOS for clients of GO Markets Pty Ltd (MU), and I rate it a strong alternative for order management. It also carries cTrader Copy Trading, so you can copy signal providers directly inside the platform. Advanced order protection tools include:

• Choice of trigger methods (pending orders and stop loss)
• Two stop-out types (including Smart Stop-Out)
• Quick trade
• Volume tooltips
• Symbol info
• Market snapshot
• Unlimited watchlists
• Live market sentiment indicator
• Email alerts

Other Trading Tools with GO Markets

The social and copy trading tools at GO Markets Pty Ltd (MU) are cTrader Copy Trading, MetaTrader Copy Trading across MT4 and MT5, PAMM for money managers, and the Signal Centre from Acuity Research. I would also count TradingView itself, which the firm describes as a social trading community, and the add-ons can sharpen your strategies.

You can also link with a fast, reliable server using a VPS (Virtual Private Server) on both MT4 and MT5.

Virtual Private Server

The VPS for MT4 and MT5 costs US$25 a month at GO Markets Pty Ltd (MU). I think that is fair value, since the full fee is returned once 10 standard forex or gold lots trade in the month, and if you trade that volume the VPS is effectively free.

Copy Trading, PAMM and Signal Centre

MetaTrader Copy Trading lets you follow signal providers on MT4 and MT5, PAMM hands capital to a money manager who allocates it across followers, and the Signal Centre, from Acuity Research, delivers trade ideas inside the platform. cTrader Copy Trading adds a fourth route on that platform. I like that these services cover both self-directed traders who want ideas and hands-off investors who want someone else managing the execution. TradingView itself is described by the firm as a social trading community, so your charting platform doubles as an idea source.

GO Markets app

Markets you can trade with GO Markets

CFDs

GO Markets Pty Ltd (MU) offers CFDs across forex, shares, indices, commodities, bonds and crypto, and its FAQ counts over 2,000 markets, so your choices are broad:

• 119 forex pairs (majors, minors and exotics, per the Mauritius spreads table)
• Share CFDs from the ASX, NYSE, NASDAQ and HKEX
• 16 indices
• 13 metals (gold, silver, palladium and platinum among them)
• 5 energies
• 39 crypto CFDs (tradeable 24/7, including Bitcoin, Ethereum and Litecoin)
• 5 bonds/Treasuries

GO Markets Pty Ltd (MU) publishes its maximum leverage by asset class outside the weekend Dynamic Margin window: 500:1 on forex majors and minors, major indices, gold and crypto on a tiered model, 100:1 on silver and on ESP35, HK50, CHINA50 and USDOLLAR, 200:1 on oil, 50:1 on natural gas, wheat, soybean and copper, and 20:1 on share CFDs, with VIX at 20:1. The Dynamic Margin window starts one hour before the weekend close and applies to new positions only. In my view, high leverage is a risk multiplier. The more leverage in play, the faster a small move works through your margin, so size positions accordingly.

GO Markets customer service, research and education

GO Markets won the Investment Trends customer service award in 2022 and again in 2023, the last year Investment Trends ran the programme. This award is based on real traders’ responses to an industry-wide survey asking several elements about the broker(s) they trade with.

Our team last put the GO Markets support desk through a round of test enquiries in February 2024, covering both simple and complicated questions. The desk answered every one, and answered them quickly.

Support at GO Markets Pty Ltd (MU) runs 24/7 by live chat, phone on a +230 international line, and email at [email protected]. The team is multilingual, though the languages are not listed, so I would ask in the chat. If you prefer to find your own answer first, the help centre of FAQs covers the basics before you contact the team.

Awards

Alongside the customer service wins, GO Markets took Education Materials in 2022 and 2023 and was rated number one for Trading Ideas and Strategies in 2023, having won Value for Money in 2021. Investment Trends has published nothing since 2023. Recognition has continued from other bodies, most recently Most Secure Trading Environment Global 2026 and Excellence in Forex and CFD Brokerage Services APAC 2026 at the World Business Outlook Awards, and Most Trusted Forex Broker APAC 2025 from International Business Magazine.

Verdict On Customer Service

Based on our team’s contact with GO Markets combined with awards the broker has received, we gave GO Markets the maximum score available for Customer service. It’s evident as well that their customer support team knew more than just the basics from regulation to an in-depth understanding of the forex trading platforms they offered.

Research and education

Go Markets has a range of research, news and educational materials for deeper market analysis. These educational materials include tutorials, webinars, courses, and a detailed FAQ section.

If you’re new to trading online, GO Markets’ video training courses and webinars will help you get started, as well as save you the expense of learning through trial and error. Even for more experienced traders, GO Markets still supports you with a daily market news feed to keep you up to date with the economic events of the world.

Our final verdict on GO Markets

I think GO Markets Pty Ltd (MU) earns a look on cost: the low forex commission, tight spreads and a platform line-up of MT4, MT5, cTrader and TradingView. Remember that the account sits with the Mauritius firm under the FSC, and no compensation scheme is named in its documents. I would weigh that gap against the pricing before committing. If you value the fees, you should still read the Disclosure Statement first.

CompareForexBroker has given GO Markets multiple awards including: The broker with the best liquidity, lowest commissions and best broker for Malaysian and Singaporean traders.

Notable features GO Markets offers include:

• Among the lowest FX commission costs in the industry
• Low-fee trading accounts with spreads from 0.0 pips
• MetaTrader 4, MetaTrader 5, cTrader and TradingView for clients of GO Markets Pty Ltd (MU)
• Share CFDs from the ASX, NYSE, NASDAQ and HKEX
• Great range of tools for copy and auto-trading

If this review leaves you interested but unsure, I suggest the demo account before any live deposit. It comes with US$50,000 in virtual funds across forex, indices, commodities and share CFDs, and runs for 30 days, so you can test the platforms before committing real money.
