Global Prime — where it wins, where it loses
Global Prime wins on no minimum deposit, platform choice. No column in our set puts it behind the field. Its cost per ten lots is not confirmed, so it is left out of the cost ordering rather than estimated.
Column by column
The split
Two lists, no averaging. A broker that takes a column outright appears on the left of it; one that gets beaten on a column appears on the right. Nothing is scored into a single number, because a single number hides which side you actually care about.
Wins on
- no minimum deposit
- platform choice
Loses on
No column in this set puts Global Prime behind the field.
Cost per 10 lots is the EUR/USD spread cost of ten round-turn standard lots at the figure above, commission excluded. Where a broker publishes a "from" spread rather than an average, the comparison inherits that limitation — see the unconfirmed list further down.
Licensing

Excluded from the maths
Not verified
Not verified
These fields are not confirmed. They are shown as gaps, not filled in, and they do not feed any column of the matrix:
- whether client money is held in segregated accounts is missing, so it is excluded from every comparison on this page.
- whether negative balance protection applies is missing, so it is excluded from every comparison on this page.
- whether the group is publicly listed is missing, so it is excluded from every comparison on this page.
- a typical EUR/USD spread (advertised 'from' figure on the Raw account, not an independently measured average) is missing, so it is excluded from every comparison on this page.
- the real minimum deposit (advertised $0 on the broker's Australian site) is missing, so it is excluded from every comparison on this page.
