	Review
IC Markets has closed or no longer accepts UK clients.	Founded in 2006, GO Markets is a well-regarded CFD broker, providing various accounts, pricing models, and dependable execution for traders. Their consistent product enhancements, including MT5, TradingView, new stock CFDs, a PAMM service, and convenient local payment methods for Latin American traders, have been noteworthy.
Pros
	GO Markets simplifies complex topics, creating a supportive learning community. Its educational offerings include courses, webinars, podcasts, and weekly live coaching, perfect for new traders. MT4, MT5, cTrader, and TradingView support lets traders access top platforms with fast execution and strong charting capabilities. PAMM accounts and copy trading services serve both novice and experienced traders. The rebate programme benefits high-volume traders by lowering expenses. GO Markets has enhanced its services, adding over 1000 new stock CFDs in 2024. In 2025, it will introduce local payment options for traders in Latin America, such as Pago Efectivo in Peru and Paynet in Mexico.
Cons
	GO Markets depends wholly on third-party platforms, lacking a proprietary charting system, which might restrict innovation or customised features for traders seeking advanced tools. GO Markets' research tools are quite basic, missing the depth and frequent updates of larger rivals that provide daily insights, analyst commentary, and sophisticated forecasting tools. While offering decent multi-asset coverage, our analysis revealed restricted options in categories such as commodities and indices, providing only about 15 indices and 10 commodities. During testing, we discovered that GO Markets limits TradingView access in demo mode unless a live account is registered first—a restriction contrasting with firms providing full demo platform access immediately.
