This kind of diversity will give you the opportunity to expand your trading portfolio and this deserves a Tradable assets score of 4/5.

If you’re a Variable account holder, you will be provided with variable spreads depending on market conditions and fast execution of orders. With an ECN Premier account, you will be able to enjoy tight spreads for as low as 0.1 pips via their electronic communication network which will connect you to tier 1 liquidity providers.

There’s a 24/5 hour live help and you can reach them via phone, email and live chat. The good news is that they have agents that speak Bahasa Melayu so you can communicate with someone who speaks your local language. We had the chance to test out most of these channels and were very satisfied on the customer service quality hence the Support score of 13/15.

All our orders were executed without any delays or slippages and this is most likely due to their nature of being an ECN broker which allows traders to enter the market with the best available price. This warrants a Quote Accuracy Score of 10/10.

FXPrimus is currently regulated by the Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission (CySEC) and the Vanuatu Financial Services Commission (VFSC). But aside from the fact that they are a licensed broker, they are known for launching supplementary protective measures for trading and that makes them a standout in the forex trading industry. This and the majority of good reviews from their Malaysian clients earned them a strong Reputation score of 18/20.
