Libertex review 2027: zero spreads with a commission per trade

Libertex traces its origins to 1997 and is one of the longer-established online trading brands, with a large following in Europe and Latin America. It operates from Limassol and is known for its own trading platform and an uncommon pricing model: on its main account there is no spread, and clients pay a commission on each trade instead. It is also a familiar name from football sponsorship. This review explains the model and the broker's offer for 2027.

Regulation

In Europe, Libertex is operated by a company authorised by the Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission, which allows it to serve clients across the European Economic Area. Retail clients receive leverage capped at 1:30, negative balance protection and cover from the investor compensation fund within its limits. Outside Europe, the brand is offered by a separate international entity with offshore registration, higher leverage and fewer protections.

The pricing model

On the Libertex platform, instruments are quoted with zero spread and a commission is charged as a percentage of the trade value when a position is opened. The rate varies by instrument and is very low on major currency pairs. Because the cost is shown up front, it is easy to see what a trade will cost before placing it. Whether it is cheaper than a spread-based account depends on the instrument and trade size. MetaTrader accounts use a more conventional spread and commission structure.

The platform

The proprietary Libertex platform is available on web and mobile. It is simple and visual, built around a multiplier that sets leverage for each trade, with integrated news, signals and risk controls. MetaTrader 4 and MetaTrader 5 are also available for traders who want expert advisors and custom indicators.

Markets

Around 300 CFDs are offered: about 50 currency pairs, plus indices, commodities, metals, shares, ETFs and cryptocurrencies. European clients can also buy real shares through a separate investment account with no commission.

Minimum deposit and leverage

The minimum deposit is €100 in Europe. Retail leverage is up to 1:30 on major pairs, with higher limits for professional clients. The international entity offers much higher leverage.

Fees

Deposits are free. Some withdrawal methods carry a small fee. An inactivity fee applies after 180 days without activity on accounts with a low balance. Overnight financing is charged on leveraged positions.

Education and support

Libertex offers video lessons, webinars and a demo account with virtual funds. Support is available on trading days by chat, phone and email in several languages.

Client status programme

A loyalty scheme gives discounts on commissions and other benefits as the total deposited or traded increases. It rewards active clients and should not be a reason to trade more than planned.

Working out the real cost

To compare Libertex with a spread-based broker, convert the commission into the same terms. Multiply the percentage rate by your trade value to get the cost of opening, then compare that with the spread cost elsewhere for the same size. Remember that leverage multiplies trade value, so a higher multiplier means a higher commission in money terms.

Pros and cons

• Transparent cost: zero spread with a visible commission.
• Platform: an easy proprietary platform plus MetaTrader.
• Regulation: CySEC-authorised in Europe.
• Investing: commission-free real shares for EU clients.
• Range: a limited number of instruments.
• Fees: inactivity and some withdrawal charges.

Who is Libertex for?

Libertex suits beginners and casual traders who like a simple platform and clear, up-front costs. Active traders who need a large product range or raw interbank pricing may prefer other brokers.

Verdict

Libertex offers a long track record and an approachable way to trade CFDs. For 2027 it is a reasonable choice for European retail clients. A large majority of retail accounts lose money trading CFDs.
