In this comparison of ActivTrades and Fusion Markets, we examine two brokers with a shared rating of 3.56/5 but distinct offerings tailored to different trader profiles. ActivTrades, established in 2001 and headquartered in London, appeals to traders seeking strong regulatory oversight with its FCA and CySEC licences, alongside a diverse platform selection including the proprietary ActivTrader. In contrast, Fusion Markets, based in Melbourne and regulated by ASIC, attracts cost-conscious traders with its highly competitive commission structure and zero-pip spreads, although it lacks a proprietary platform and has fewer educational resources. While both brokers offer a wide range of markets, ActivTrades is more suited for traders prioritising regulatory protection, whereas Fusion Markets is ideal for those focused on cost efficiency.
