Eightcap is an Australian forex and CFD broker founded in 2009 in Melbourne, that has carved a distinctive position in the market through its integration with TradingView, one of the world's most popular charting platforms. Regulated by ASIC (Australia), FCA (UK), CySEC (Cyprus), and SCB (Bahamas), Eightcap provides a strong multi-jurisdictional regulatory framework with tier-1 credentials from both ASIC and FCA.
What sets Eightcap apart is its direct TradingView integration, allowing traders to execute trades directly from TradingView's powerful charting interface. This is a significant differentiator, as TradingView boasts millions of users who can now trade through Eightcap without leaving their preferred analysis platform. Combined with MetaTrader 4 and MetaTrader 5, Eightcap offers three platform options that cover the full spectrum of trader preferences.
Eightcap has also built a strong reputation for its cryptocurrency CFD offering, providing access to a wide range of crypto assets alongside traditional forex, indices, commodities, and share CFDs. The broker's Raw account delivers spreads from 0.0 pips with a $3.50 per lot per side commission, making it competitive with the industry's leading ECN brokers.

Eightcap offers two account types with clear pricing structures. The Raw account provides spreads from 0.0 pips on EUR/USD with a commission of $3.50 per lot per side ($7 round turn), matching the industry standard for top-tier ECN brokers. The Standard account features spread-only pricing from 1.0 pips with no commission for traders who prefer simpler cost structures.
The broker's $100 minimum deposit is moderate and positions Eightcap for traders who are serious about their trading. Eightcap does not charge deposit fees for most payment methods, and the broker supports cryptocurrency deposits. Withdrawal processing is generally free, though processing times may vary by method.
Compared to fellow Australian brokers IC Markets and Pepperstone, Eightcap's Raw account pricing is in line with the industry's best. The $7 round-turn commission matches IC Markets and Pepperstone exactly. The TradingView integration provides added value that these competitors do not offer, making Eightcap's overall proposition competitive when accounting for platform capabilities alongside pricing.
Eightcap's standout feature is its direct integration with TradingView, allowing traders to connect their Eightcap account and trade directly from TradingView's world-class charting platform. TradingView offers hundreds of technical indicators, drawing tools, custom scripts via Pine Script, social trading features, and arguably the most advanced charting capabilities available to retail traders. This integration gives Eightcap a unique advantage over competitors.
Alongside TradingView, Eightcap offers MetaTrader 4 and MetaTrader 5. MT4 provides the standard experience with Expert Advisors and custom indicators, while MT5 adds additional timeframes, order types, and a built-in economic calendar. The MetaTrader platforms support automated trading strategies and the full MQL ecosystem.
Eightcap provides basic educational resources including trading guides, video tutorials, and market analysis. The educational content covers forex and CFD trading fundamentals, though it is less comprehensive than education-focused brokers. The TradingView integration effectively supplements the educational offering, as TradingView's community features provide access to trading ideas, analysis, and educational content from millions of users.
Research tools include those available through TradingView (extensive indicators, community scripts, and social trading features) and the MetaTrader platforms' built-in analysis capabilities. The combination of platforms provides adequate research tools for most traders.
Eightcap provides customer support via live chat, email, and phone during business hours. Support is available in multiple languages from the broker's Melbourne headquarters and international offices. The live chat feature provides quick responses for common inquiries.
The help center covers account management, platform setup (including TradingView connection), and trading conditions. While the support is adequate, the coverage hours could be broader to serve traders across all time zones more effectively.
Eightcap is ideal for traders who use TradingView as their primary charting and analysis tool and want to trade directly from the platform with competitive ECN pricing. It is also well-suited for cryptocurrency CFD traders who want a regulated broker with a strong crypto offering. The dual ASIC and FCA regulation makes Eightcap attractive for safety-conscious traders in Australia and the UK. Eightcap is less suitable for traders seeking extensive educational resources, a proprietary platform experience, or those who require a minimum deposit below $100.
The broker's cryptocurrency CFD offering is particularly strong, with a wide range of digital assets available for leveraged trading. The combination of TradingView's charting prowess with Eightcap's competitive raw spreads creates a compelling package for technically-oriented traders who rely on advanced chart analysis for their trading decisions.
Eightcap holds regulatory licenses from four financial authorities: ASIC (Australia), FCA (UK), CySEC (Cyprus), and SCB (Bahamas). ASIC and FCA are both tier-1 regulators, providing the highest level of investor protection available in the retail forex industry. This dual tier-1 regulatory coverage is a significant safety advantage.
Australian clients under ASIC benefit from mandatory client fund segregation, minimum capital adequacy requirements, and regular compliance audits. UK clients under FCA regulation are covered by the FSCS compensation scheme protecting up to £85,000 and receive negative balance protection. CySEC provides EU regulatory coverage with the Investor Compensation Fund.
With over 15 years of operation since 2009, Eightcap has established a solid track record of regulatory compliance. The broker's multi-jurisdictional regulation ensures that clients in major markets receive meaningful investor protections. Client funds are held in segregated accounts at reputable banks, separate from the company's operational funds.
