Why we choose GO Markets

You've got a choice to make — plenty of brokers will let you run an EA. This page isn't here to tell you there's only one option; it's here to explain, honestly, why GO Markets is the broker we run our own models on, and why the EA support we've built around it means you're not doing this alone as you learn to trade automated strategies.

The choice of broker is always yours. This is ours — and here's why.

GO Markets
The Baseline

Everything you'd expect from a globally respected broker

Before we get to what makes GO Markets different for EA traders, here's the baseline — the things we simply won't compromise on, because your EAs depend on them:

  • ✓
    ASIC-regulated, since 2006. A properly licensed Australian entity (AFSL 254963), not an anonymous offshore shell.
  • ✓
    Full native MT5 EA support. MQL5, the built-in Strategy Tester, hedging, Depth of Market, partial fills — your EAs run exactly as written, not in some cut-down environment.
  • ✓
    Genuine raw-spread execution. You've got a range of accounts to choose from. The GO Plus+ account gives raw spreads from 0.0 pips with no dealing-desk interference — the fill quality automated entries and exits actually rely on.
  • ✓
    Automated strategies genuinely welcomed. Scalping, hedging and EAs are all permitted — no quiet restrictions that break a strategy mid-run.
  • ✓
    Fast online account opening, and the range of instruments you'd expect. FX majors, minors and exotics, indices, commodities, ASX and international share CFDs, and crypto CFDs.
  • ✓
    Test your strategies on the same account you will trade. Test new strategies using MetaTrader "strategy tester" in the environment you'll actually trade them in — there's a real case for having a LIVE account when you're backtesting and optimising an EA before going live, so you're modelling against real spreads and conditions rather than a demo feed.

GO Markets EA support is built around you — not a generic add-on

Here's why we think GO Markets is a good place to be as an EA trader specifically. This is what you often won't find with a standard broker sign-up:

🎧
A dedicated EA account desk

Not a general helpline. A support channel set up specifically for automated traders — people who understand VPS, SET files and the Strategy Tester without you having to explain them.

🖥️
Your VPS covered for the first 3 months

Every new EA trader gets a full VPS rebate for three months, with ongoing rebates based on your trading activity — so your EAs run around the clock on low-latency infrastructure from day one.

🤝
Retail and professional traders looked after

Whether you're a retail client or qualify as a professional/wholesale client, there's an account structure and a level of support to match where you're at.

⚙️
VPS tiers matched to your EA load

We've hand-picked VPS specifications for real-world EA performance, with different levels of access — so a single-chart EA and a full portfolio each get the right machine, not a one-size-fits-nobody box.

🔁
Change your account type whenever your trading changes

Start where you are today and move up or across as your strategies grow — quickly, without reopening from scratch. The right account for now, and for later.

📊
We test on GO Markets LIVE accounts — the same environment you'll trade

The models, EAs and SET files we teach are developed and tested on live GO Markets accounts. When you follow along in a course, you're working in the identical environment we are — same spreads, same execution, same conditions.

🎟️
An invite-only annual EA Traders conference

A live, online, invite-only event for our EA trading community — the kind of room you can't just buy your way into.

Trader IQ provides educational materials, trading tools and courses relating to trading financial markets including the use of automated trading models.
EAs are market tools that should be tested before, during and on an on-going basis and you must take responsibility for the choice to put these in a LIVE market environment based on defined criteria being met.
Any scaling should again be actioned only when your results meet set criteria on performance in a live market.
It is strongly suggested that you begin trading any EA on minimum volume for that specific instrument and any scaling should again be actioned only when your results meet set criteria on performance in a live market.
Positions taken in highly leveraged and derivative products including Forex, and Contracts for Difference (CFDs) carry the risk of loss greater than your initial investment in that position. Share trading also involves a high level of risk and any of the above may not be suitable for all investors.
