About Dukascopy

Dukascopy was founded in 1998 in Geneva, Switzerland, and is not just a broker but a Swiss bank regulated by FINMA (Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority). This provides traders with the highest degree of deposit protection, with coverage of up to CHF 100,000 per client. Dukascopy operates as an ECN broker with direct access to institutional liquidity and is known for the highest security standards and professional trading infrastructure. The trading offering includes Forex, metals, index CFDs, commodities, stock CFDs, crypto CFDs, and bond CFDs. Particularly noteworthy is that Dukascopy also offers binary options through the JForex platform. Spreads start from 0.1 pips with a volume-based commission that decreases to a maximum of $3.50 per lot at higher trading volumes. The proprietary JForex platform is a powerful tool for professional traders, though it presents a steeper learning curve for beginners.
