Olive Markets Review

About Olive Markets

Olive Markets (operated by Olive O. Markets Global Financial LTD, registered in Majuro, Majuro Atoll, Marshall Islands) is not regulated by any reputable financial authority. It purports regulation under the so‑called Global Financial Services Authority (GLOFSA), which is not a recognized regulator; searches of the UK’s Financial Conduct Authority, Australia’s ASIC, the EU’s CySEC, or Turkey’s Capital Markets Board returned no records of licensing (). The broker offers access to multiple asset classes — including currency pairs, precious metals, commodities, cryptocurrencies, and stocks — via its proprietary Olive Trading Platform as well as MetaTrader 4; it supports demo accounts, applies leverage up to 1:300, and requires a minimum deposit of USD 100 ().

No information is available regarding spreads, commissions, account currency types, swap‑free / Islamic accounts, hedging, scalping, expert advisors, or negative balance protection. Regulatory transparency is insufficient, and claims of segregated accounts or fund protection cannot be verified via recognized authority disclosures ().
