Eightcap review 2027: a TradingView-focused broker

Eightcap was founded in Melbourne in 2009. For years it was a quiet, MetaTrader-only broker with good pricing. It raised its profile by committing early and fully to TradingView, becoming one of the main brokers through which traders place orders directly from that charting platform, and by listing a wide range of crypto CFDs. It has also been a technology and liquidity partner to several prop trading firms. This review looks at the retail brokerage for 2027.

Regulation

Eightcap entities are licensed by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission, the UK's Financial Conduct Authority and the Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission, with international clients served through an entity regulated by the Securities Commission of The Bahamas. Retail clients in Australia, the UK and the EU have leverage capped at 1:30 and receive negative balance protection. The Bahamian entity allows higher leverage with fewer statutory protections.

Accounts

There are three account types. The Standard account has no commission and spreads from 1.0 pip on EUR/USD. The Raw account quotes from 0.0 pips and charges $3.50 per lot per side. A TradingView account offers spread-only pricing for clients who trade exclusively through that platform. The minimum deposit is $100 for each. Deposits and withdrawals are free from the broker's side, and there is no inactivity fee.

TradingView integration

Linking an Eightcap account to TradingView allows orders to be placed, modified and closed directly on TradingView charts across desktop and mobile. For traders who already use TradingView for analysis, this removes the need to switch to another platform to execute. The integration is stable and well regarded, and the broker has won TradingView's own broker awards.

Other platforms and tools

MetaTrader 4 and MetaTrader 5 are supported. Capitalise.ai lets clients automate strategies by writing conditions in plain English. FlashTrader adds one-click order management with automatic stop and target calculation to MetaTrader. An AI-powered economic calendar and regular market analysis are provided through the broker's research hub.

Markets

Around 800 instruments are available: more than 50 currency pairs, CFDs on indices, commodities and shares, and a large selection of cryptocurrency CFDs, one of the widest among mainstream brokers, where local rules permit. Crypto CFDs are not available to UK retail clients.

Leverage

Leverage for international clients reaches 1:500. Regulated regions follow local caps. Crypto CFDs carry lower leverage and can be especially volatile over weekends.

Support and education

Customer service is available 24 hours a day on weekdays by live chat, email and phone. Educational material includes guides, webinars and platform tutorials. It is serviceable, with less depth than at brokers that specialise in beginner education.

Pros and cons

• TradingView: direct, reliable trading from TradingView charts.
• Pricing: competitive Raw account with no payment or inactivity fees.
• Crypto CFDs: a wide range where permitted.
• Regulation: ASIC, FCA and CySEC entities.
• Range: fewer share CFDs than large multi-asset brokers.
• Education: limited compared with the market leaders.

Execution and funding

Orders are executed without dealing-desk intervention on servers located in the Equinix data centres in New York and London, and all trading styles are permitted, including scalping and expert advisors. Funding is available by card, bank transfer, PayPal, Skrill, Neteller and crypto in supported regions, with most deposits credited instantly. Withdrawals are normally processed within one business day and returned to the original payment method.

Who is Eightcap for?

Eightcap is an obvious choice for TradingView users and for traders who want crypto CFDs alongside forex with a regulated broker. Those who need extensive research or a huge stock list may prefer a larger firm.

Verdict

Eightcap has carved out a clear niche with its TradingView integration and tidy pricing. For 2027 it is a well-regulated, good-value option for chart-driven traders. Leveraged products carry a high risk of loss.
