BEST TRADING APPS

BEST TRADING APPS IN LUXEMBOURG

You probably went into Google searching for the best online brokers available in Luxembourg. You are interested and wish to trade a particular asset class like Forex, International Stocks or Cryptos, or maybe a specific asset like Apple Stocks, Oil instruments or the latest DeFi Cryptocurrency.

Although you already know the asset or asset class you want to trade, Google isn't inside your mind (yet). So, Google couldn't figure out whether you wished to trade Forex, US stocks, or buy investment fund units, and it brought you here. This article is long, but it has the basics of what you need to know about the best investment and trading platforms. So, let's talk about Luxembourg's top online trading apps, divided by asset class.

Which Asset Class are you looking for?

  • Top FX Brokers in Lux


    The foreign exchange market is the most liquid financial market in the world. Traders include governments and central banks, commercial banks, other institutional investors and financial institutions, currency speculators, other commercial corporations, and individuals.


    Unlike other jurisdictions like the UK, the US or Australia, it is worth noting that the European Union doesn't have a single regulator; on the contrary, each country has its own. In some countries, the regulators are the Central Bank (Ireland, Czech Republic), and in others, there are specially created organizations. For example, EU's top FX regulators are BaFin from Germany and CySEC from Cyprus.


    One of the critical features of the EU's MiFID II directive (the one governing financial services) is the possibility of passporting within the EU. A Forex broker with a MiFID II license issued by one of the regulators has the right to operate throughout the EU, not only in the country whose regulator issued this license. Every FX Trading app presented on this list is regulated in the EU.

    FX PLATFORM #1

    AvaTrade is an extraordinary FX online brokerage.

  • Top Crypto Trading Apps in Luxembourg


    Cryptocurrencies are mined or purchased from exchanges. Their skyrocketing value of them has made them popular as trading instruments. Also, to a limited extent, they are used for cross-border transfers. 


    Cryptos have taken over (by surprise) the financial world. As a result, everybody is talking about them, both for good and bad reasons. There's an innumerable amount of new cryptos launched every week to tackle or solve a problem in particular (Like cross-border payments, tokens used for purchases in the metaverse, etc.). You even get meme coins launched with the sole objective of making a trading profit (A shady strategy called pump and dump). So, you have to be able to separate the wheat from the chaff. This list displays the top crypto trading platforms available in Luxembourg. We show here 3 platforms that we have used, deposited money, traded and withdrawn successfully.


    Important: Investing in cryptocurrencies, Decentralized Finance (DeFi), and other Initial Coin Offerings (ICOs) is highly risky and speculative, and the markets can be highly volatile. Consult with a qualified professional before making any financial decisions. This article is not a recommendation by Asinko or the writer to invest in cryptocurrencies, nor can the accuracy or timeliness of the information be guaranteed.

    CRYPTO APP #3

    StormGain takes a different approach to the other crypto trading platforms. They offer a trading platform via cryptocurrency futures contracts. So, with StormGain, you do not own the crypto tokens, but instead, you aim to make a profit based on the crypto's price volatility.

    If your goal is to trade and you do not care about owning cryptocurrencies, this platform might be a good alternative since it is based and quoted in Tether (USDT).

  • Top Stock Broker Platforms in Luxembourg


    US Stocks like Apple, Tesla or even seniors like Ford and McDonalds. UK Stocks like BP, Rolls-Royce or Tesco. European Stocks, Japanese Stocks and Australian Stocks.

Conclusions on our List of Top Trading Brokers

Many websites that write about trading and financial instruments topics will recommend "The Best Online Broker", and it will probably be the platform that pays them the best commissions. Moreover, they will do it in a way that looks professional. But, on the contrary, we remark that there is no "Best Broker" that covers all the needs of a trader because, should there be a "perfect trading platform", it would have to have the following:

  • 0 commissions,

  • 0 spreads,

  • Outstanding order execution,

  • A Great Visual interface,

  • Complete access to every financial market.

 

Unfortunately, no online trading app offers all of these features simultaneously. However, many aspects make them stand out in specific aspects/markets. This article lists 3 Brokers per asset class (Forex, stocks, crypto, etc.) and why it can be recommendable over the others available, specifically for local traders. Why do we present just three options? We believe that when trading instruments of each asset class, there are not 100 infallible brokers available; some stand out above others. Also, you will find that some apps appear more than once because they are the top option on several.

 

ASINKO receives a commission from specific online platforms for referring clients, but it does not charge a commission to you nor from all the ones we present here. Notwithstanding this, if we consider that a platform has to be in the Top 3, we will do so whether we promote them or not. Please note that the lists presented here are part of our professional opinion: there is a possibility that this does not fit 100% of all traders' needs. In other words, try them before depositing money.
