About STP Trading
STP Trading has been operating since 2019, originally under the name STP.Forex. Its motto is "simple and easy trading for everyone, everywhere," built on the idea that access to global markets should not depend on experience or connections. According to the broker, it now serves traders in more than 80 countries.
STP Trading uses an STP/NDD execution model: orders are passed straight to liquidity providers without dealing-desk intervention, with a stated execution speed of under 10 milliseconds.

Standout features
Anti-Margin Call (AMC)
This is STP Trading's signature feature. When an account is at risk of a margin call, the trader can submit a request from the client area. The account is reviewed within 24 hours and, if eligible, up to 50% of the balance is added as free, tradable credit. Positions stay open, and the credit is removed once the risk has passed; it is support, not a loan to repay. According to the broker, the programme has been exclusive to STP since 2022.
Hedging in negative margin
Most brokers block opposing positions exactly when an account is under margin pressure. With NDD execution, STP Trading lets eligible traders open an opposing position in the same instrument even in negative margin, reducing directional exposure. Hedge margin is $1,000 per lot, with no additional margin required.
Copy trading and social trading
The web platform social.stptrading.io lets you review traders' statistics and history and copy their trades automatically. Experienced traders can also become strategy providers and build a following. Nothing needs to be installed.

Trading runs on MetaTrader 5 (desktop, web and mobile), with 100+ instruments:
- Forex pairs
