Our take on FP Markets

We've traded through this broker's MT5 Raw account and can vouch for its low spreads and reliable trading environment. Its Raw account is designed for day traders and scalpers, and its Standard account will suit all others.

We also like the breadth of instruments available through its platform. You'll find over 70 currency pairs, as well as gold and silver priced in US dollars, euros and Aussie dollars. You can also go long or short on stocks and government bonds through over 40 ETFs.

Its free educational content also sets it apart from the competition. Fund your account to get access to trading signals from Trading Signal and Autochartist. You'll also get access to free trading courses for beginners and experienced traders, weekly webinars and e-books.

Our take on Pepperstone

We particularly enjoy Pepperstone's integration with TradingView, which makes it possible to open and close positions directly from the charts. This in addition to its support for the popular MetaTrader 4, 5 and cTrader platforms.

Fees are a big factor for any trader. And Pepperstone's competitive spreads and commissions are a significant plus point for us. Its Standard account with low and variable spreads will appeal to all traders. And its Raw account is designed for Forex day traders and scalpers.

Deposits and withdrawals are easy and hassle-free, which is exactly what we look for in a broker. Whenever we've reached out to customer service, we've found their agents to be responsive and attentive.

About the Hong Kong Dollar

The Hong Kong Dollar, abbreviated as HKD, is the official currency of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region. In 2022, it was the 9th most traded currency by volume, according to the Bank for International Settlements⁽¹⁾.

The Hong Kong Dollar was pegged to the US Dollar in 1983, and trades in a narrow range between 7.75 and 7.85 HKD to 1 USD⁽²⁾. This system, known as the Linked Exchange Rate System (LERS), compels Hong Kong's Monetary Authority (HKMA) to align its monetary policy on that of the Federal Reserve.

The peg is and remains a cornerstone of Hong Kong's financial stability. However, the ability and desire of the HKMA to defend its currency's peg against the US Dollar has, for decades, been the subject of speculation. Rising tensions between China and the United States have cast fresh doubts over its future⁽³⁾.
