With minimum deposits ranging from $1 (Exness) to $250 (IG Markets), the 10 brokers listed here cover every account size and trading style.

1What Regulation Means for Hungarian MT5 Traders
A surprising number of traders pick brokers based on spreads alone, ignoring the regulatory tier that determines whether client funds are actually protected. In Hungary, the MNB oversees domestic financial institutions, but EU passporting means brokers licensed by CySEC (Cyprus) or FCA (UK) can operate legally and compliantly for Hungarian clients.
Think of regulatory tiers like building codes: a CySEC license means the broker meets EU MiFID II standards — negative balance protection, segregated client funds, and mandatory participation in a compensation scheme covering up to €20,000 per client. FCA regulation adds an additional layer, with the UK's Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS) covering up to £85,000.
Among the brokers listed, Pepperstone holds licenses from ASIC, FCA, CySEC, DFSA, and BaFin — five regulators across three continents. IC Markets carries ASIC, CySEC, and FSA licenses. Both represent the highest regulatory density available to Hungarian retail traders. Exness (FCA, CySEC) and FxPro (FCA, CySEC, FSCA, SCB) also meet the EU standard comfortably.
The actionable implication: prioritize brokers with at least one Tier-1 license (FCA, ASIC, BaFin, or CySEC) before evaluating any other feature.
