GO Markets review 2027: an Australian broker with nearly two decades behind it

GO Markets was established in Melbourne in 2006 and was one of the first brokers in Australia to offer MetaTrader 4. It has grown steadily without the heavy marketing of some competitors, building a reputation for consistent service and fair pricing. In recent years it has added cTrader and TradingView, opened a European entity and launched share trading for Australian clients. This review covers the broker's offer for 2027.

Regulation

GO Markets is licensed by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission and, through its European company, by the Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission. International clients are served by entities regulated by the Financial Services Commission of Mauritius and the Seychelles Financial Services Authority. Australian and European retail clients have leverage capped at 1:30 with negative balance protection. Client funds are segregated in accounts with major banks.

Accounts

Two accounts cover most needs. The Standard account has no commission, with spreads from 1.0 pip on EUR/USD. The GO Plus+ account offers raw spreads from 0.0 pips and a commission of about $2.50 per lot per side, which places it among the more competitively priced raw accounts. The minimum deposit is $200. Swap-free accounts are available on request. There are no deposit fees, withdrawals are free by most methods, and there is no inactivity fee.

Platforms and tools

Clients can trade on MetaTrader 4, MetaTrader 5, cTrader and TradingView. MetaTrader is supplemented by the Genesis suite of add-ons, which includes advanced order tools, a sentiment indicator and a correlation matrix. Autochartist and Trading Central provide pattern recognition and analysis, a-Quant offers trading signals, and a free VPS is available to clients who meet volume requirements. Copy trading is offered through an in-house service and Myfxbook AutoTrade.

Markets

More than 1,000 instruments are available: around 50 currency pairs and CFDs on indices, commodities, metals, treasuries and shares from the US, Australia and Hong Kong. Australian clients can also buy real ASX-listed shares through a separate platform at low brokerage rates.

Leverage

Outside Australia and Europe, leverage of up to 1:500 is offered on major forex pairs. As always, the level you choose should reflect your strategy and risk tolerance, not the maximum on offer.

Education and research

GO Markets has invested in education for years. It runs regular webinars, publishes courses for beginners and intermediate traders, and produces daily market commentary. The content is practical and well organised. Clients are assigned an account manager, a level of service that is increasingly uncommon at low-cost brokers.

Support

Customer support is available 24 hours a day on weekdays by live chat, phone and email. Withdrawals requested before the daily cut-off are usually processed the same day. Account opening is digital and typically completed within a day.

Execution and trading rules

GO Markets routes orders to a group of liquidity providers without dealing-desk intervention, using servers in the Equinix data centres. There are no restrictions on scalping, hedging or expert advisors. Funding is available in ten base currencies by card, bank transfer and e-wallets, and the broker does not charge internal fees on deposits. A demo account with virtual funds is available on every platform.

Pros and cons

• Pricing: raw spreads with a commission near $2.50 per side.
• Platforms: MetaTrader 4 and 5, cTrader and TradingView.
• Experience: operating since 2006 under ASIC regulation.
• Service: personal account managers and good education.
• Minimum deposit: $200 is higher than some rivals.
• Range: smaller than at the largest multi-asset brokers.

Who is GO Markets for?

GO Markets suits traders who want low raw pricing from an established, service-minded broker, and Australians who would like CFD and share trading with one provider. Traders starting with very small sums may prefer a broker with no minimum deposit.

Verdict

GO Markets is a steady, well-priced broker that has kept pace with platform trends. For 2027 it is a reliable option in a crowded Australian field. Leveraged CFD trading carries a high risk of loss.
