What is CedarFX?

Forex and CFD broker CedarFX entered the market earlier this year with the promise of being the cheapest and most environmentally-friendly online trading platform.

The new broker, which offers investors access to more than 180 assets via MetaTrader4, is the first company in the online CFD market to join the trend of fighting climate change by offering the Eco Account.

Through the Eco Account, investors will donate a commission of $ 1 per lot traded, which is enough to plant 5 trees.

CedarFX’s contribution to climate change solutions comes through an organization called Ecologists which essentially raises funds from companies around the world to increase tree planting and reduce carbon emissions.

So far this year CedarFX is already responsible for planting 5170 trees.

CedarFX is a Crypto-Friendly platform

In addition to being the world’s first green broker, CedarFX aims to become a crypto online trading platform.

Therefore, users can make deposits and withdrawals using bitcoin and also trade on more than 35 different digital asset pairs with a leverage ratio of 100: 1.

Specifically, the leverage ratio on cryptocurrency coins on CedarFX is one of the most highs in the industry that investors can get.

At CedarFX, investors have access not only to popular crypto coins like Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, and Ripple, but also some of the most traded altcoins in the cryptocurrency market which include EOS, Quantum, TRX, ETP and many more.

Additionally, the broker supports ultra-fast withdrawals and ensures that all withdrawal requests are processed within 24 hours. When a user makes a deposit on the platform, it only takes 5 minutes to an hour for the funds to appear in the client’s account.

CedarFX zero commission trading account

CedarFX offers two types of accounts, the zero commission account and the eco account.

The difference between the two accounts is the additional charge of $ 1 per lot traded that is collected for the cause of climate change on the eco account.

However, keep in mind that the broker allows users to open more than one account and thus, you can take advantage of both types of accounts.

If you opt for the zero commission account, CedarFX does not charge any fees such as deposit and withdrawal fee, account management fee and fixed trading fees.

Instead, a user only pays the spread of buying and selling a given asset.

After all, the broker offers very tight spreads starting from 0.7 pips for the EUR / USD pair, which is below the industry average.

Finally, users can start trading on CedarFX’s MetaTrader4 platform with an initial deposit of just $ 10 if they make a deposit in Bitcoin.

If not, the broker requires a minimum deposit of only $ 50 for all other payment methods.

Traders can also sign up for a free demo account to test the platform and all the features provided by CedarFX.

CedarFX enables traders to open as many trades as they want, with Zero commission.

CedarFX’s account type and Ecologi

CedarFX offers two account types: the 0% commission accounts and Eco Accounts.

The only difference between these two accounts is the commission rate.

With a 0% Commission Account, traders can trade all assets without paying any commission to the broker.

With an Eco Account, traders are charged $1 commission per lot traded, and all commissions will be used to support environmental causes through Ecologi.

All other aspects of the account, such as spreads, leverage and instruments, are identical.

What is Ecologi?

Ecologi is a UK-based social enterprise that raises money from businesses worldwide, to fund environmental causes, such as tree planting and carbon reduction projects.

Ecologi’s tree-planting partner is The Eden Reforestation Project, while all carbon reduction projects are certified by Gold Standard. For more information about the projects Ecologi supports, visit https://ecologi.com/projects.
