MasterECN Review

About MasterECN

MasterECN formerly claimed a registration number 25422 with the Financial Services Authority of St. Vincent and the Grenadines (SVG FSA); that registration has since been cancelled and the broker is unregulated (). Prior to cancellation, it offered trading via the MetaTrader 5 (MT5) platform, with asset classes including forex and CFDs, and advertised leverage up to 1:400, minimum deposits from USD 500 to USD 5,000 depending on account type, and spreads from approximately 1 to 2 pips ().

Information from secondary sources indicates account tiers such as “Master Mini” (min deposit USD 500, leverage up to 1:300, spreads ~2 pips), “Master Elite” (USD 1,000, leverage 1:400, spreads ~1.5 pips), and “Master STP” (USD 5,000, leverage 1:200, spreads ~1 pip) (). Another overview noted no regulatory oversight, lack of segregated accounts, no negative balance protection, and no compensation scheme ().

Regulatory and risk warnings classify MasterECN as an offshore, unregulated broker presenting substantial risk. The official SVG authority does not provide oversight, and the entity’s website is disabled, reinforcing serious concerns about its legitimacy ().
