EC Markets has won three awards at the Global Forex Awards 2026, claiming titles for best copy trading platform, best gold trading broker, and best low spread broker across global categories. The recognition comes as the awards program recorded more than 25,000 public votes in 2026, marking its largest voting year to date in its eighth year of operation.
- Awards Won: Best Copy Trading Platform – Global, Best Gold Trading Broker – Global, Best Low Spread Broker – Global
- Total Public Votes 2026: More than 25,000
- Verified Votes Across All Holiston Media Awards: Nearly 295,000
- Awards Program Age: Eighth year of operation
- Technology: M.A.T. multi-liquidity aggregation system for spread optimization
The best low spread broker award recognizes EC Markets‘ pricing competitiveness, supported by its M.A.T. multi-liquidity aggregation technology, which consolidates pricing from multiple liquidity providers to deliver tighter spreads and efficient execution. The best gold trading broker title acknowledges the company’s offering in one of the world’s most actively traded commodity markets, where reliable execution and competitive conditions serve both direct clients and its global partner network.
The best copy trading platform award reflects developments in EC Markets‘ copy trading ecosystem, which includes EC AutoTrade and Copy Wealth platforms. The company operates on a high-water mark performance fee model, applying fees only to new gains above previous equity peaks rather than on recovered losses, allowing clients to choose between proportional automated replication and more granular position control.
We’re very pleased to receive recognition across three areas that are important to the experience we provide our clients. Pricing, gold trading and copy trading are very different parts of our business, so seeing all three recognised is a reflection of the work happening across our teams.
Matthew Smith, Group Chairman and CEO of EC Markets, stated that the company has made deliberate investments in trading infrastructure, from liquidity sourcing to technology and product development.
