CMS Forex Review
CMS Forex was a 1999 founded broker that GAIN Capital bought in 2010, and GAIN Capital itself became part of StoneX Group in 2020, so the old brand no longer runs on its own.

Cons

- Traders searching for CMS Forex may land on the wrong broker by mistake
CMS Forex opened in 1999. A team of traders, brokers, and developers built it into one of the larger retail forex brokers of its time, known for its own VT Trader charting platform.
In October 2010, GAIN Capital, the company behind FOREX.com, bought CMS Forex. The brand first became an introducing broker for GAIN, then its accounts and technology moved fully into the FOREX.com brand over time.
GAIN Capital itself was bought by StoneX Group in July 2020 for about 236 million dollars. Today cmsforex.com does not load, and the business lives on only inside FOREX.com under StoneX. A separate company called CMS Prime uses a similar name today, but public records show no link between it and the original CMS Forex.
