ActivTrades was founded in Switzerland in 2001 and is one of the leading brokers for trading currencies and CFDs on indices, stocks, commodities and crypto currencies using the MetaTrader 4 and MetaTrader 5 platforms as well as its own ActivTrader. In 2005, ActivTrades moved its headquarters to the financial metropolis of London, where it has since been supervised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority. The Cyprus-based broker UFX enables traders to trade currencies, ETFs and CFDs on equities, indices and commodities. The company was founded in 2007 and has been regulated by the Cypriot financial regulator CySEC since 2011. Despite its international orientation, the broker is still relatively unknown in Europe.
