The platform line‑up includes MetaTrader 4 and MetaTrader 5 for desktop, mobile and web, with claims of low‑latency execution via Equinix NY4, plus a WebTrader link and VPS offering. Markets listed cover CFDs on 61 forex pairs (up to 1:500), 25 indices (up to 1:200), over 20 commodities (up to 1:500), 2,100+ stocks (up to 1:20) and 40+ cryptocurrencies (up to 1:200). Official site Official site

Account types shown are Standard (spreads from 0.8 pips, $0 commission) and Raw Spread (spreads from 0.0 pips; commission shown as $3.0–$3.5 per lot per side), with a stated minimum deposit of $200 and “Islamic Accounts” indicated. The site presents leverage up to 1:500 on the accounts page, while the MT4 page states “up to 1:1000,” a direct inconsistency. Trading‑style disclosures also conflict: marketing pages say “no restrictions” and allow hedging/EA/scalping, whereas the Terms and Conditions explicitly prohibit scalping and high‑frequency trading. Funding methods listed include Visa/Mastercard, PayPal, Neteller, Skrill, UnionPay and bank wire, with accepted funding currencies including AUD, USD, EUR, JPY, NZD, SGD, GBP and CAD. The site claims segregated client accounts; its Risk Disclosure notes that losses can exceed the initial capital. Official site Official site
