Profile
Webull FX is not a standalone broker but rather a speculative extension of the Webull brand, which is primarily known for commission-free equities and options trading in the United States. As of July 2025, Webull does not offer spot forex or CFD trading services to retail clients under the brand “Webull FX.” Any reference to “Webull FX” is either a misrepresentation or an unlicensed offshore entity using the Webull name without regulatory approval.
Regulation and Security
Webull Financial LLC is regulated by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA). It also holds membership with the SIPC, which provides insurance up to $500,000 for U.S. clients on securities accounts (not forex).
However, Webull FX is not a regulated entity. Forex trading is not offered under Webull’s official regulatory licences in the U.S., Hong Kong (SFC), or Singapore (MAS). Any website or firm claiming to offer “Webull FX” services should be treated with extreme caution and verified for legitimacy.
Execution Model
No execution model is applicable, as Webull does not currently support spot FX or CFDs. Webull’s brokerage model is designed for U.S. equities, ETFs, and listed options using a zero-commission model with payment-for-order-flow (PFOF).
Trading Platform
Webull’s proprietary platform supports stocks, ETFs, and options. Key features include:
- Advanced charting with 50+ indicators
- Paper trading and real-time Level 2 data
- Mobile and desktop apps with multi-asset watchlists
There is no support for MT4, MT5, cTrader, or any forex-specific platform under Webull.
Supported Instruments
Webull offers trading in:
- U.S. Equities and ETFs
- Options
- Crypto (via Webull Crypto LLC, where licensed)
It does not offer trading in forex pairs, CFDs, commodities, or indices. Claims of “Webull FX” supporting major pairs like EUR/USD or GBP/JPY are not credible and likely fraudulent.
Account Types and Trading Conditions
Webull provides two primary account types for U.S. clients:
- Cash Account – No margin, no short selling
- Margin Account – Leverage up to 2:1 for equities and 4:1 for intraday positions
There is no forex account, leverage beyond SEC regulations, or support for order types like trailing stops or OCO in a forex context. Webull FX does not offer real products under this label.
Retail and Institutional Features
Webull is focused on retail self-directed traders. It does not offer:
- Institutional accounts or prime brokerage
- API access or FIX connectivity
- Custom liquidity or white-label services
Its platform is geared toward commission-free stock trading with strong UI/UX but not built for multi-asset or professional portfolio management.
Client Protection and Transparency
Clients of Webull Financial LLC benefit from:
- SEC and FINRA oversight
- SIPC protection up to $500,000 for securities accounts
- Regular audited financials and transparent fee disclosures
None of these protections apply to unregulated “Webull FX” entities operating outside the U.S. regulatory perimeter. Traders should verify they are using the official Webull site and app.
Base Currencies, Order Types, and API Access
Webull supports USD-denominated accounts only. Order types include:
- Market, limit, stop, stop-limit (equities only)
- Options strategies: spreads, straddles, iron condors
There is no forex API, no FIX connectivity, and no support for common forex order types such as OCO or trailing stop.
