Base Markets is our number-one pick: a clear, low-cost broker on the full MetaTrader 5 platform, with deposits from $0 and spreads from 0.0 pips — almost no barrier to entry. The bigger reason it holds rank 1: open your account through our link and deposit $400, and you unlock our complete trading signals service free — the same forex signals, gold, oil, indices and crypto calls paying subscribers get, each with a defined entry, take-profit and stop-loss, replacing a subscription worth roughly $2,500 a year. See how to start and our published track record before you decide.
Regulation and safety
Base Markets operates under the supervision of the Financial Services Commission of Mauritius (FSC), a regulator that oversees trading firms and imposes requirements on client-fund segregation and know-your-customer (KYC) procedures.
As with any trading in global markets, regulation reduces operational risk but does not remove market risk. We always recommend starting with a demo account and an amount you can afford to lose.
Accounts and costs
The standout feature of Base Markets is its low cost: an initial deposit starting from $0 and spreads from 0.0 pips make the cost of entry and of trading among the lowest in its class.
That combination — practically no deposit minimum plus tight spreads — is what makes it a fit for anyone starting with a small amount of capital who wants to test the market for real without taking on a large commitment.
Platform and execution
Base Markets runs exclusively on MetaTrader 5 (MT5), the most advanced retail platform on the market: advanced charting, pending orders, automated trading via Expert Advisors, and multi-asset support.
MT5 is available on web, desktop and mobile apps (iOS and Android), so you can follow your positions — and our signals — from anywhere.
Free trading signals with a $400 deposit
This is the exclusive part of the deal for Best Trading Signal readers: open your account through the button on this page, deposit $400 and activate the account, then contact us to switch on your free signals subscription. The $400 is not a fee — it stays in your account as your own trading capital.
The signals cover gold (XAUUSD), forex majors, oil, indices and crypto, each delivered on Telegram with an entry price, take-profit and stop-loss. Our track record — 94% average weekly accuracy by points and +168,166 net points over 32 published weeks — is documented on the performance page.
If you prefer not to open a broker account, the same service is available as a paid subscription through our Telegram bot — the signals page compares both paths.
Swap-free accounts
Swap-free account options (no overnight interest) are available for clients who need them — make sure you request the option when you register and confirm its terms.
This matters for traders who hold positions overnight for religious or cost reasons; check how the account type affects your other trading conditions before committing.
