Global comparison
Compare futures brokers
Listed futures need a broker that can connect to the exchange and a margin system that can call you for cash. This page names firms that publish that capability somewhere in their group. It does not say the contract you want is enabled, or that the margin schedule is attractive.
Interactive Brokers and Schwab, through its futures affiliate and thinkorswim, are the clearest names in the current register. Other firms may offer CFDs on futures prices; those firms are not added here just because an index CFD exists. Tick value, expiry and intraday margin are Not confirmed and dominate the economics more than a headline commission.
How to read this table
Providers appear because their published business overlaps this category in at least one country. That is an editorial classification, not a statement that the product is open to you. Fees, minimum deposits and several product details are shown as Not confirmed until they are taken from the entity that would hold the account. The table sorts by name. WiT Markets does not publish a hidden score.
What WiT Markets will not do here
- Name a provider of the year, a house favourite, or a default choice.
- Copy another country’s fee card into this one.
- Treat an affiliate programme, if one existed, as a reason to include or order a firm. No commercial relationship is active in this data.
Fee, FX and minimum-deposit sorts stay off until those figures are sourced. Capability filters for options, futures, fractional shares and similar fields stay off for the same reason. Nothing here is ordered as best.
