TrioMarkets is a newer player in the field, and one that takes advantage of recent technology developments. TrioMarkets is a trading name owned and operated by EDR Financial Ltd, a financial services company authorized and regulated by the Cyprus Securities Exchange Commission (CySEC) under license number 268/15 as well as BaFin, FCA, ACP and MiFID.
The “Trio” name comes from Trio’s three processing options, operating inside an STP/ECN environment. Metatrader4 desktop is available with all of its standard features, but TrioMarkets also includes Sirix WebTrader, which has its supporters. Trio also bundles the MT4 mobile trading application for IOS devices.
TrioMarkets offers a broad range of account options, including a free Demo and Islamic account, plus training materials. The firm supports nearly fifty currency pairs and a broad spectrum of CFDs. Complete regulatory compliance provides peace of mind in every respect, but unfortunately, U.S. customers are not accepted at this time. Helpful customer service reps are available for any problem, and if you prefer to go it alone, TrioMarkets provides video tutorials, ebooks, fundamental and technical analysis articles, and more.
