Read full description
The company's primary business involves offering a platform for trading Contracts for Difference (CFDs) across a wide array of asset classes. Clients can access over 400 instruments, including Forex pairs, global indices, stocks, energies, precious metals, and cryptocurrencies. Orbex caters to a diverse clientele, from novice retail traders to institutional partners and asset managers. While headquartered in Cyprus for its European operations and Mauritius for its global entity, the firm has a significant presence in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) and Asian markets, recently expanding its reach through the acquisition of HonorFX's retail client business.
Revenue is generated primarily through spreads, which can be as low as 0.0 pips, and commissions that vary based on the client's account type. Orbex provides three main account tiers—Starter, Premium, and Ultimate—each offering different fee structures and features. The business model is structured around providing direct market access with a No Dealing Desk (NDD) execution model, which facilitates fast order processing.
The core of Orbex's service is its trading platform, which utilizes the widely recognized MetaTrader 4 (MT4) and MetaTrader 5 (MT5) systems, available on desktop and mobile devices. These platforms are supplemented by a suite of analytical tools, including free Virtual Private Server (VPS) hosting for uninterrupted trading, daily market analysis from an in-house research team, and access to the Trading Central portal. The firm also provides extensive educational resources, such as webinars and seminars, to support trader development.
