About ThinkMarkets

ThinkMarkets began trading in 2010 in New Zealand as ThinkForex. It moved to Melbourne in 2012 under ASIC, then opened in London in 2015 under the FCA. It was renamed ThinkMarkets in 2016. It now holds nine licenses worldwide, led by the FCA, ASIC, CySEC, and FSCA, plus a Seychelles unit.

A Standard account opens from $50, with spreads from 0.4 pips and no commission. The ThinkZero account starts at $500, with spreads near 0.0 pips plus a $3.50 per lot fee. ThinkMarkets offers over 4,000 instruments on MetaTrader 4, MetaTrader 5, its own ThinkTrader app, and TradingView. A fee applies after a quiet period.

ThinkMarkets holds around 4.3 out of 5 on Trustpilot from over 600 reviews, a strong score. Independent tracker WikiFX tells a rougher story, flagging a rise in complaints about blocked withdrawals and canceled accounts. Reviewers often mention slow support and withdrawal codes that never arrive. A 2020 UK court case shows the broker can freeze suspect accounts.
