Trade Nation started in 2014 as Core Spreads and took its current name in 2019. The main UK entity, Trade Nation Financial UK Ltd, is authorised by the FCA under reference 525164. Sister companies hold licenses from ASIC in Australia, the FSCA in South Africa, CMVM in Portugal, and regulators in Seychelles and the Bahamas.
The broker focuses on fixed spreads instead of the usual floating pricing, starting near 0.6 pips on major forex pairs, with no set minimum deposit. Leverage tops out at 1:30 for FCA and ASIC retail clients, rising to 1:200 on the offshore entities. Trading happens on the in house TN Trader platform, MetaTrader 4, or TradingView charts.
Trade Nation also runs a points based loyalty scheme paying a monthly cash rebate of up to 20 percent, though this is only open to clients outside the FCA and ASIC entities. It sponsors Aston Villa FC. The broker does not target the United States or countries beyond the UK, Australia, South Africa, the Bahamas, and Seychelles.
