Base Markets is our rank-1 pick and the recommended broker on Best Trading Signal for Indian traders. It is a clear, low-cost broker focused on the essentials — forex, gold, indices and crypto CFDs — on the full MetaTrader 5 platform, with deposits from $0 and spreads from 0.0 pips. The bigger reason it tops our list is the offer attached to it: open your account through our link and deposit $400 (roughly ₹35,000 — the deposit is in US dollars, and the capital stays yours to trade), and you unlock our complete trading calls service free. That is the same feed of gold, forex, oil, indices and crypto intraday calls our paid Telegram subscribers receive — each with a defined entry, take-profit and stop-loss — replacing a subscription worth about $2,500 a year. One honest note upfront: Base Markets is an offshore broker and is not SEBI-regulated. Read how to start and our published track record before you decide.
Regulation and safety — the honest SEBI picture
Base Markets operates under 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. It is not registered with SEBI, and no offshore forex/CFD broker is — that is the honest baseline for every Indian trader comparing platforms like this.
What that means in practice: you will not have SEBI investor-protection recourse, so the FSC licence, the broker's own conduct and your own risk management are what you are relying on. Our trading calls themselves are analysis and education — opinions with a defined entry, TP and SL — never guaranteed profit.
As with any leveraged trading, regulation reduces operational risk but does not remove market risk. Start with a demo account and an amount you can genuinely afford to lose.
Accounts and costs
The standout feature of Base Markets is cost: an initial deposit starting from $0 and spreads from 0.0 pips put the cost of entry and of trading among the lowest in its class. For a trader used to comparing brokerage in rupees, tight spreads matter more than any flat fee — on intraday calls, the spread is effectively your brokerage on every trade.
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. Note that accounts are funded in US dollars, so plan your deposit with the exchange rate in mind.
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) — which matters for Indian traders, because most of our calls land during the London and New York sessions, roughly 1:30 PM to 11:30 PM IST. You can place the entry, TP and SL from your phone during evening hours without sitting at a desk.
Free trading calls 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 calls subscription. The $400 is not a fee — it stays in your account as your own trading capital. The offer is denominated in US dollars (around ₹35,000 at recent rates), not in rupees.
The calls cover gold (XAUUSD), forex majors, oil, indices and crypto, each delivered on Telegram with an entry price, take-profit and stop-loss — the same Telegram-first format Indian traders already know from signal groups, except with a published record behind it: 94% average weekly accuracy by points and +135,081 net points over 25 published weeks, 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 — 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.
