"European Tiger" takes the lead regarding active FX/CFD traders numbers, reaching 175,000.
However, investors' trading activity decreased compared to the record-breaking 2022.
The number of the Polish FX/CFD traders is constantly rising
The number
of active clients of Polish brokers offering retail FX and CFD trading
increased 23% in 2023, reaching over 175,000. The Polish Financial Supervision Authority's (KNF) data shows that the jump occurred despite a
decrease in overall trading activity.
More FX/CFD Traders in
Poland, but Fewer Transactions
Since 2018,
when statistics began being collected, the KNF has observed a continuous increase
in the number of active clients using the services of FX/CFD brokers registered
in Poland. Six years ago, the total number of active investors in this market
segment was less than 45,000, growing to 175,000 in 2023.
Poland
boasts a mature retail FX/CFD market, home to XTB, one of the biggest publicly
traded brokers in the industry. In addition, OANDA chose to shift its European
base to Poland from Malta, its former regional headquarters.
"The
analysis shows that most active clients (73%) lose on transactions involving
these types of instruments. In 2023, the percentage of clients who incurred a
loss decreased. Both the average profit and the average loss per client
decreased," the KNF commented in its report.
The figures increased 23% compared to 2022, which was a record year in this regard,
rising from 142,000. However, it should be noted that these data include Polish
residents and foreign clients served by brokers from Poland.
As for
traders directly from this European region, the number of active traders
exceeded 83,000, increasing nearly 17% from the level of 71,500 reported a
year earlier.
Arkadiusz Jóźwiak
"The data show, which pleases us greatly, that an increasing number of people in Poland want to invest actively. And that's in the difficult, speculative, and leveraged CFD markets," Arkadiusz Jóźwiak, the Editor-in-Chief of the retail investor media outlet Comparic.pl, commented for Finance Magnates. "The current number of active retail investors places us at the forefront in Europe."
For instance, the number of active traders in Germany is 65,000, in France 33,500, and in Spain 47,000. It is only higher in the UK, where it exceeds 200,000.
Despite
such a significant jump in the number of retail traders, the KNF observed that the total profit and loss from active traders were lower than in previous years.
Loss Still Substantial,
but More Modest than in 2022
According
to official statistics, in 2023, clients' realized profit amounted to PLN 394.2
million, compared to PLN 519.5 million. Net loss also dropped from the record
level of PLN 1.9 billion in the previous year to PLN 1.7 billion in 2023.
Jacek Kubrak
“Too many
people mistakenly assume that one can effectively earn on Forex by taking a
position whenever they have time,” commented Jacek Kubrak, a trader and expert in
Polish capital markets. “Furthermore, intense marketing communication creates
the false belief that success is ‘almost’ guaranteed, which fuels over-optimism
and leads to neglecting the need for basic skills and thorough knowledge of
market operations.
Some of
these losses were incurred as part of Poland's latest "fool me twice" fraud scheme, which may have caused hundreds of investors to lose PLN
9 million.
With a
larger number of clients, the average loss and profit per client additionally fell. The average losing trader lost PLN 13,745 on FX/CFD in Poland in 2023, compared to PLN 17,570 a year earlier. The average profitable trader earned PLN 7,457, compared to PLN 17,444 in 2022.
"Inappropriate
psychology and compulsive behaviors instead of rational investment decisions
exacerbate the risk of losses, resulting in a significant disproportion between
the total value of losses and gains in the Forex market in Poland and beyond," added Kubrak.
"The
average result per client represented a loss (smaller than in the previous
year). In 2023, the total value of losses incurred by losing clients was 5
times the total value of profits made by clients who achieved a profit," the KNF added. However,
the percentage of clients who realized a profit among active clients was a
record high, reaching almost 27%, compared to less than 21% in 2022. A better
percentage was achieved only in 2021 when this ratio was 28.1%.
As in
previous years, retail clients accounted for the overwhelming majority in the
FX/CFD market, representing 99.8% of all accounts and 87.1% of executed
transactions.
The "KNF
emphasizes that over-the-counter derivative instruments carry a high level of
risk and should be acquired only by investors with adequate knowledge and
experience," the Polish financial markets regulator concluded in its
report.

Damian's adventure with financial markets began at the Cracow University of Economics, where he obtained his MA in finance and accounting. Starting from the retail trader perspective, he collaborated with brokerage houses and financial portals in Poland as an independent editor and content manager. His adventure with Finance Magnates began in 2016, where he is working as a business intelligence analyst.
In this conversation, we sit down with Drew Niv, CSO at ATFX Connect and one of the most influential figures in modern FX.
We speak about market structure, the institutional view on liquidity, and the sharp rise of prop trading, a sector Drew has been commenting on in recent months. Drew explains why he once dismissed prop trading, why his view changed, and what he now thinks the model means for brokers, clients and risk managers.
We explore subscription-fee dependency, the high reneging rate, and the long-term challenge: how brokers can build a more stable and honest version of the model. Drew also talks about the traffic advantage standalone prop firms have built and why brokers may still win in the long run if they take the right approach.

In this conversation, we speak with Aydin Bonabi, CEO and co-founder of Surveill, a firm focused on fraud detection and AI-driven compliance tools for financial institutions.
We start with Aydin’s view of the Summit and the challenges brokers face as fraud tactics grow more complex. He explains how firms can stay ahead through real-time signals, data patterns, and early-stage detection.
We also talk about AI training and why compliance teams often struggle to keep models accurate, fair, and aligned with regulatory expectations. Aydin breaks down what “good” AI training looks like inside a financial environment, including the importance of clean data, domain expertise, and human oversight.
He closes with a clear message: fraud is scaling, and so must the tools that stop it.

Interview with Jas Shah
Builder | Adviser | Fintech Writer | Product Strategist
In this episode, Jonathan Fine sat down with Jas Shah, one of the most thoughtful voices in global fintech. Known for his work across advisory, product, stablecoins, and his widely read writing, Jas brings a rare combination of industry insight and plain-spoken clarity.
We talk about his first impression of the Summit, the projects that keep him busy today, and how they connect to the stablecoin panel he joined. Jas shares his view on the link between fintech, wealthtech and retail brokers, especially as firms like Revolut, eToro and Trading212 blur long-standing lines in the market.
We also explore what stablecoin adoption might look like for retail investment platforms, including a few product and UX angles that are not obvious at first glance.
To close, Jas explains how he thinks about writing, and how he approaches “shipping” pieces that spark debate across the industry.
