FXGiants review
The entity behind FXGiants, its licence, and how to confirm both yourself.
Last checked
FXGiants is not a broker we would put money with. We are not calling it a fraud, and that distinction matters, but too much about it is unverified or offshore to treat it as safe. Regulated by British Virgin Islands Financial Services Commission (FSC), SIBA/L/24/1175, offering MetaTrader 4, FXGiants WebTrader, PMAM.

A licence is the first thing a fake broker cannot produce, so it is the first thing to check.
FXGiants's licence is offshore (FSC). Offshore entities typically offer higher leverage and lighter reporting, and compensation schemes do not apply - the trade-off is protection, not price.
An FSC licence (Mauritius or Belize, depending on the entity) is an offshore authorisation with lighter reporting duties than a tier-one regulator.

Costs matter less than whether you can withdraw, but an offer that looks impossible usually is.
A quoted spread from 0.0 pips is a raw-spread figure, which almost always means a separate commission per lot. Compare the two together - a "zero spread" account with a high commission can cost more than a wider spread with none.
Quoted spreads are best-case figures on the most liquid pair, in normal conditions. What you actually pay widens around news and at the session open.
FXGiants lists a minimum deposit of $100. Treat it as the cost of opening an account, not the cost of trading one - position sizing on a small balance is what tends to cause damage.

Leverage up to 1:1000 is available on this entity. High leverage does not increase your expected return - it increases position size for the same deposit, and shortens the move needed to close you out.
FXGiants covers forex, metals, indices, commodities, futures, shares. A wider range matters less than depth in the instruments you actually trade.
Funding options: visa, mastercard, bank wire, skrill, neteller and regional payment methods. Check withdrawal routes as well as deposit ones - they are often not the same, and the difference only becomes apparent when you try to take money out.

Questions people ask about FXGiants
Is FXGiants a real registered company?
Yes. At FXGiants, the company you would be contracting with is Notesco (BVI) Limited, registered as 1946338 and based in Road Town, Tortola, British Virgin Islands. A registration number is checkable in the register of the country that issued it, and a broker that will not give you one is telling you something.
Is FXGiants regulated, and by whom?
FXGiants holds British Virgin Islands Financial Services Commission (FSC), SIBA/L/24/1175, which we grade as tier 3. A licence number is the part worth checking, because it is the thing a cloned site copies and the thing the regulator's register will not confirm.
Does FXGiants trade under any other names?
FXGiants also appears as FXGiants. This matters when you are checking a licence or a warning list, because a search for one name will not always find what was published about another.
