On average, 73.2% of retail CFD accounts lose money across the 85 EU- and UK-regulated brokers tracked by Brokers Watch (median 74%).
Every broker tracked reports that most retail CFD accounts lose money: the lowest figure is 49.38% (Errante) and the highest is 89% (ATFX).
69 of the 85 brokers tracked say 70% or more of their retail accounts lose money.
What the figure measures
- The share of a broker's retail CFD accounts that lost money, as required by ESMA, the FCA and the Central Bank of Ireland.
- Brokers calculate it over the previous 12 months and refresh it every quarter.
- It counts accounts, so one large account weighs the same as one small one.
What it does not tell you
- How much money was lost, or how much winners made.
- Whether a lower figure means a better broker: client mix and products differ.
- Results for professional clients or brokers outside these regulators.
