CFD
CFDs are available on key asset classes with high leverage up to 1:400. You can also access the broker's platform on multiple devices, though we are disappointed with the lack of additional trading tools and research.	FP Markets' CFD trading covers a range of markets, including 10,000+ equities, indices, commodities, cryptocurrencies and ETFs. Spreads are tight and traders get fast execution speeds.

Forex
LBLV offers major and minor pairs but fails to offer prospective clients any transparency on forex spreads and fees. Beginners will also struggle to access the high-deposit forex trading accounts.	FP Markets is a good option for forex traders, with 70+ pairs covering an excellent range of currencies. Spreads are already tight on standard accounts and start from zero on raw spread accounts, and the broker offers high leverage up to 1:500 and top-tier liquidity.

Cryptocurrency
Go long or short on a handful of popular cryptos, including Bitcoin. However, the suite of digital tokens is limited vs alternatives so we don't recommend LBLV for dedicated crypto traders.	Take positions on popular cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, Ripple, Bitcoin Cash, and Litecoin with leveraged CFDs. However, you cannot directly buy and own crypto tokens.
