Our verdict on each
Errante
Errante suits active traders who want one account spanning equities, currency, contracts for difference, crypto and metals, and who can work with leverage of 1:1000. EU clients sit under CySEC, and the retail loss share of 40.3% runs below the field, though the starting balance is higher than the cheapest accounts around.
Windsor Brokers
Windsor Brokers suits traders who want a single account spanning forex, CFDs, crypto, metals, stocks and ETFs under the Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission. Eligible deposits sit under EU ICS up to EUR 20,000, and stocks, etfs and forex keeps the whole range inside the same regulated entity.

Pros and cons
Errante
Pros
- One account covers stocks, etfs and forex, so there is no need to hold positions across separate brokers.
- Protection is listed as EU ICS up to EUR 20,000 for clients of the CySEC entity, which is the EU regulated side.
- Copy trading and a mobile app both sit in copy trading and mobile app, so the phone works as a full route to the account.
Cons
- The opening balance of $50 sits well above $0 at CFI and $5 at Vantage, so small accounts start in the wrong place.
- Leverage of 1:1000 is high for a retail account and it cuts both ways on a losing position.
- Retail accounts here lose money at a rate of 40.3%, below the 70.15% across the field but a real part of the account base.
Windsor Brokers
Pros
- Market list stocks, etfs and forex covers forex, CFDs, crypto, metals, stocks and ETFs without leaving the same regulated entity.
- Eligible deposits are covered by EU ICS up to EUR 20,000, attached to the Cyprus licence rather than to the brand name.
- Platforms listed are MT4, MT5 and Mobile App, so desktop and mobile are served by the same broker.
Cons
- The share of retail accounts that lose money is 78.3%, above the site median 70.15%.
- Retail leverage of 1:30 magnifies losses on forex and CFD positions.
- The minimum deposit of $50 is well above the €4.64 site median.
Who each suits
Errante
Who it suits
- Active retail traders who keep positions in several asset classes and prefer one account and one platform set
- EU clients who want a CySEC licence and EU ICS up to EUR 20,000 rather than an offshore only setup
- Copy trading users who want charts, orders and the mobile app in one place, with MetaTrader 5 and TradingView behind the account
Who should look elsewhere
- Anyone starting with a small balance, since CFI opens at $0 and Vantage at $5 against Errante's $50
- Traders who want futures in the same account, since eToro covers stocks, etfs and forex and Errante's list does not carry them
- Traders who want a low leverage ceiling, because 1:1000 leaves the sizing decisions entirely with the client
Windsor Brokers
Who it suits
- Traders who want forex and CFDs alongside crypto, metals, stocks and ETFs in a single account.
- Copy traders, since copy trading and mobile app lists copy trading alongside a mobile app.
- Readers who weigh regulation first and want a Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission licence.
Who should look elsewhere
- CFI if a very small entry matters: its minimum deposit is $0.
- Vantage for a lighter first deposit, where the minimum deposit is $5.
- eToro if futures sit on your list: stocks, etfs and forex includes futures, which the stocks, etfs and forex range here does not.

Questions about each
Errante
What is the minimum deposit at Errante?+
The minimum deposit is $50. That is a real starting point for an account rather than a token amount, and it sits well above the free entry at CFI, $0, and above Vantage at $5. Anyone funding with a small sum should check whether the broker's own minimum leaves enough room to trade with leverage.
Which regulators licence Errante?+
Errante lists CySEC and FSA (Seychelles). The CySEC licence covers the EU entity and the Seychelles FSA licence covers the offshore entity, so a client should confirm which of the two the account sits with before funding. Both licences sit in different countries, which makes that check worth doing.
Windsor Brokers
What is the minimum deposit at Windsor Brokers?+
The minimum deposit is $50, above the $5 Vantage entry and well above the $0 CFI entry. It is also above the €4.64 site median, so the account is not aimed at very small first deposits.
Who regulates Windsor Brokers?+
The broker is regulated by the Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission under licence 030/04. The regulated company is Windsor Brokers Ltd, and eligible deposits fall under EU ICS up to EUR 20,000, so the scheme attaches to the entity rather than the brand.
