Our verdict
Libertex suits traders who want many markets under a single regulated account, with a commission free model and a stock trade fee of €0. Set aside 83% of retail accounts losing money, because the leverage on offer is a real risk, not a savings rate.

Pros and cons
Pros

- Support runs on email, chat and phone, and a demo account is available.
- Platform choice runs through Libertex, MetaTrader 4 and MetaTrader 5, covering the Libertex app and MetaTrader 4 and MetaTrader 5.
Cons
- The €100 minimum deposit sits far above $0 at CFI.
- An inactivity fee of $5 takes a bite from small or forgotten balances.
- Investor protection is limited to EU ICS up to EUR 20,000, so larger balances sit above that ceiling.

Scored 9.1 / 10 by SumCue.
Who it suits
- People who trade more than one asset type and want stocks, ETFs, forex, CFDs, options, crypto, bonds and metals in a single account.
- Traders who like picking their platform between Libertex, MetaTrader 4 and MetaTrader 5 and practising on a demo account first.
- EU based traders who want a Cyprus regulated broker and know their protection ceiling.
Who should look elsewhere
- Anyone starting very small: CFI takes a $0 minimum deposit against €100 at Libertex.
- Traders who would rather hold everyday money than leveraged markets, who can compare bunq and its €10 minimum deposit.
Fees and currency costs
Libertex runs a commission free model, so a stock trade costs €0. The entry point is a €100 minimum deposit. An inactivity fee of $5 applies, which matters most to small or dormant balances. Getting money out is the part to watch: Withdrawal fees depend on payment method, so the cost of a withdrawal depends on how you choose to be paid.
Who runs it
Libertex is run by Indication Investments Ltd, headquartered in Cyprus and trading since 1997. The Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission regulates the firm under CySEC licence 164/12, which means a single named authority to check rather than several. Support runs on email, chat and phone, so you can reach the team by email, chat or phone.

Frequently asked questions
What does it cost to trade with Libertex?+
Libertex runs a commission free model, so a stock trade costs €0 rather than a percentage per deal. The charges that apply are a €100 minimum deposit, an inactivity fee of $5 and a withdrawal charge that Withdrawal fees depend on payment method.
Is Libertex regulated and is my money protected?+
Libertex is authorised by the Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission, and its CySEC licence number is 164/12. Investor protection is stated as EU ICS up to EUR 20,000, which is the ceiling on a qualifying claim. Balances above that figure are not covered.
How do deposits and withdrawals work?+
You need a €100 minimum deposit to open and fund the account. Money coming out is where costs appear: Withdrawal fees depend on payment method, so the charge depends on the payment method you pick rather than on Libertex alone. Pick a method first, since changing route later changes the bill.
Which platforms and apps can I use?+
You can trade through Libertex, MetaTrader 4 and MetaTrader 5, so the same account works in the Libertex app and on MetaTrader 4 or MetaTrader 5. A demo account is included, which lets you learn the order types before funding. Support runs on email, chat and phone if you need help setting up.
What can I trade on Libertex?+
The market list covers stocks, etfs and forex. Stocks, ETFs, forex, CFDs, options, crypto, bonds and metals all sit on the same account, which suits traders who do not want separate platforms per asset. Retail leverage is capped at 1:30, so position sizes stay inside the European retail limit.
How much do I need to start trading?+
The stated minimum deposit is €100. That is a real hurdle if you are starting small, and it is worth comparing before you sign up: CFI takes $0 and bunq sets €10. The gap matters more here than the trading fee, because the trade itself costs €0.
Do most Libertex traders lose money?+
Most retail accounts at Libertex lose money, at 83%, which is above the typical figure for the brokers compared here. That is the norm for leveraged trading rather than a sign of a broken account. Keep positions small enough that a loss does not swallow the €100 you started with.
