TRADE.com Review 2026

The basic trading model

TRADE.com is a market maker offering leveraged trading. The product list covers forex, stocks, indices, ETFs, commodities, cryptocurrencies, bonds and other markets. Product structure varies by market: stock exposure is mainly through CFDs, so traders do not own shares or receive voting rights; crypto exposure is generally through leveraged derivatives rather than wallet ownership. Index and commodity exposure is also through derivatives, rather than ownership of an index or the underlying commodity.

Customers can use the TRADE App, WebTrader or MetaTrader 5. Copy trading and social trading are available, while API trading is not. A demo account is also offered.

Important regional differences

TRADE.com operates across regulatory jurisdictions including Mauritius, Cyprus, the United Kingdom and the United States. The maximum leverage and investor protections depend on the relevant entity: offshore leverage can reach 1:300, while EU/UK retail accounts under CySEC/FCA are limited to 1:30. The global Mauritius entity has no investor compensation scheme; eligible retail clients under the CySEC entity may be covered by the Investor Compensation Fund up to €20,000. Japan, Canada, Spain, Belarus, Belgium, Russia and the United States are restricted countries.

Trading costs

TRADE.com has floating spreads and charges commission, but the broker-wide commission amount and the instruments to which it applies are not specified here. The spread figures below are average spreads, not minimum or advertised spreads.

Account tiers have different EUR/USD spread figures: approximately 1.9 pips for Silver, 1.4 pips for Gold, 1.0 pip for Platinum and 0.8 pip for Exclusive. Minimum deposits for these tiers range from $100 for Silver to $100,000 for Exclusive. These account-specific figures are distinct from the broker-wide average spread.

Non-trading costs

TRADE.com charges no broker deposit or withdrawal fee, although external-provider fees may apply to withdrawals. A monthly maintenance fee of $50 is deducted after three months of account dormancy. Currency conversion fees and overnight swap fees also apply; their amounts are not specified here.

Cost takeaway

The account tiers make the trade-off between initial funding and quoted EUR/USD spreads clear: the tighter tier figures require substantially higher minimum deposits. Traders should also account for commission, overnight swaps and currency conversion charges, rather than judging costs from spreads alone.

Account options

The tiers are differentiated by their minimum deposits and EUR/USD spreads, with higher deposits unlocking tighter spreads. The entry-level Silver tier starts at $100; the Gold, Platinum and Exclusive minimums are $10,000, $50,000 and $100,000 respectively. Leverage depends on the entity and product.

Platform choices

Base currency and account configuration

Account base currencies include EUR, USD, GBP, PLN, CZK and ZAR. Currency conversion fees apply. TRADE.com offers a demo account and an Islamic swap-free option, which has a $100 minimum deposit and removes overnight interest charges.

TRADE.com covers several leveraged markets. Product structure matters: CFD and other derivative exposure does not give the trader ownership of the underlying asset.

Order execution

TRADE.com identifies as a market maker. Positive and negative slippage can occur during fast-moving, volatile or low-liquidity market conditions. The minimum lot size is 0.01. No execution-speed figure is specified.

Leverage, margin and stop-out

Maximum leverage reaches 1:300 for offshore accounts, while EU/UK retail accounts under CySEC/FCA are restricted to 1:30. Leverage also depends on the entity and product. The margin-call level is 100%, and the stop-out margin level is 50%.

Trading restrictions

TRADE.com allows scalping, hedging and news trading. API trading is not available. MetaTrader 5 supports Expert Advisors (MQL5) and MQL5 automation on desktop/VPS; this does not make API trading available through the broker.

Day-to-day usability

The TRADE App, WebTrader and MetaTrader 5 provide mobile access, while MetaTrader 5 also has desktop and web versions. VPS hosting is available. Copy trading and social trading are supported, and traders can use a demo account before funding a live account.

1. Eligibility

TRADE.com restricts clients from Japan, Canada, Spain, Belarus, Belgium, Russia and the United States. The applicable account and leverage conditions depend on the client’s jurisdiction and the relevant legal entity.

Availability

TRADE.com’s support hours are 24/5. Support is offered in English, Czech and Italian.

How traders can get help

Traders can contact support through live chat, email, WhatsApp, an enquiry form or by phone. The email address is [email protected] and the phone number is +357 22 030 446.

Support limitations

Customer feedback points to inconsistent account-manager support and unclear communication. Some users report straightforward access to chat or phone support, but recurring complaints make support reliability a point to weigh.

TRADE.com operates across Mauritius, Cyprus, the United Kingdom and the United States, with protections that vary by regulated entity. Clients should identify the contracting entity for their account rather than assume one jurisdiction’s protections apply everywhere.

Legal entities and regulators

Client money protections

TRADE.com states that client funds are segregated and that negative balance protection is provided. The global Mauritius entity has no investor compensation scheme. Eligible retail clients under the CySEC entity may qualify for Investor Compensation Fund coverage up to €20,000; that protection does not apply automatically to clients under other entities.

Company transparency

TRADE.com was founded in 2013 and is not publicly traded.

Important distinction

Negative balance protection concerns a client’s trading account balance; it is not protection against losses on trades. Investor compensation is a separate scheme, and eligibility depends on the regulated entity and client status.

What the headline claim suggests

A maximum leverage of 1:300 can sound like a single condition for all clients. It applies to offshore accounts; EU/UK retail accounts under CySEC/FCA are limited to 1:30.

What happens in practice

The entity also affects compensation protection. The global Mauritius entity has no investor compensation scheme, while eligible retail clients under the CySEC entity may qualify for ICF coverage up to €20,000. A client’s account jurisdiction therefore matters for both leverage and protection.

Who should care most

Anyone comparing headline leverage or opening an account outside the EU/UK should establish which entity will hold the account and what protections apply. Traders considering the higher tiers should also compare their minimum deposits with the account-specific EUR/USD spreads.

Practical example

A trader under the Mauritius entity may have access to leverage up to 1:300 but no investor compensation scheme through that entity. An eligible retail client under the CySEC entity may have ICF coverage up to €20,000, while retail leverage under CySEC/FCA is restricted to 1:30.

Consider TRADE.com if you...

• Want to choose among a proprietary app, WebTrader and MetaTrader 5.
• Trade across several leveraged markets and understand that stocks, indices and crypto exposure may be through derivatives rather than ownership.
• Want access to copy trading, social trading, VPS hosting or a demo account.

You may want to look elsewhere if you...

• Require an investor compensation scheme under the global Mauritius entity.
• Need API trading, which TRADE.com does not offer.
• Want to avoid tiered account minimums, currency conversion fees, overnight swaps or the dormancy charge.

TRADE.com’s strongest proposition is its combination of a proprietary app and WebTrader with MT5 access across multiple leveraged markets. The main compromise is that leverage and compensation protection depend on the account’s regulated entity, while support reliability has drawn recurring complaints. Intermediate traders who value platform choice and can verify the entity-specific terms are the most likely to accept that trade-off.

Our assessment weighs regulatory registrations, account and platform conditions, trading costs, instrument coverage, funding terms and customer feedback. It distinguishes broker claims and client reports from account terms and regulatory protections, and does not imply personal testing.
