ADFX broker profile

ADFX’s international Vanuatu FX/CFD service, three account plans, product-specific tariffs, margin and funding terms, managed accounts, cash-reward conditions and independently checked protection limits.

By FXBrokers.ai ResearchOperating status: ActiveSources checked Published
Profile scope

The international website expressly assigns current contracts to ADFX Global Limited. Affiliate licences are not merged into this route. Claimed Financial Commission membership was not established on the scheme owner’s current public roster.

ADFX offers margin forex and CFDs on metals, energy, stock indices, US shares and cryptocurrencies through MT4 and MT5. This profile follows the international website’s ADFX Global Limited contract in Vanuatu, checked on 19 October 2026. The three account plans share the same published opening minimum, while product-specific commissions, margin and promotional rules materially affect how each account works.[1][2][19]

Applicants must be at least 18 and complete identity, address and source-of-funds checks. Corporate verification includes directors and beneficial owners holding at least 25%. The international service excludes the United States and jurisdictions where the offer would be unlawful; it may reject accounts funded from restricted or sanctioned jurisdictions. The Australian affiliate’s separately described wholesale service does not make this a Vanuatu account with Australian retail protections.[19][23][1][29]

ADFX permits more than one account plan under a client profile, with upgrades subject to support review and eligibility. Its forex FAQ describes 1:500 as the default for majors and minors, with application for up to 1:800, and 1:100 for exotics. The USDCNH contract row nevertheless displays 1:500. That pair-specific discrepancy should be resolved in the accepted margin schedule; the headline ceiling is not a single leverage setting for the entire catalogue.[2][3]

ADFX may adjust cash, contract size or positions for corporate actions, and can suspend or value an instrument following a delisting or disruption. Its index FAQ describes dividend adjustments at the session start for positions held through the preceding trading day: a credit for a long position and a debit for a short one. These are derivative-account adjustments, not ownership of the underlying shares.[19][5][6]

ADFX mobile appBalances, transaction history, deposits, withdrawals, news, notifications and in-app chatThese are documented account-administration functions. The app page’s broad trading language does not establish a separate native execution workflow.Source 10
Order types and expiryMarket, limit and stop orders; pending orders may be Good for Day or Good Till CancelledAvailability and expiry follow the platform/instrument rules. A submitted instruction is not freely cancellable: the agreement lets ADFX decline amendment or cancellation.Source 19
Margin and liquidationAccount comparison: 100% call; 20% stop-out; zero hedged marginMargin can change immediately for existing and new positions, including around news or weekends. A warning is discretionary; ADFX may choose the positions to close without prior notice.Source 2Source 19
Execution and errorsOrders are subject to pricing feeds, liquidity and system availabilityAcceptance does not guarantee execution or the quoted price. The contract permits aggregation, rejection and correction or cancellation of manifest-error trades.Source 19Source 20
EA, scalping and hedgingThe account and forex pages advertise these as allowedThe agreement still restricts suspicious activity, including high-frequency scalping beyond normal parameters, latency exploitation and coordinated or artificial-volume hedging; affected trades or profits may be adjusted or voided.Source 2Source 3Source 19

For a connection or platform failure, the agreement accepts orders through the platform or another method only if ADFX permits it. The current support page offers general assistance, but a dedicated emergency dealer number and guaranteed outage execution procedure were not established. Sending a support message therefore does not itself confirm that an order has been accepted or a position closed.[19][12]

Available balance must cover margin and liabilities; AML review, destination/source mismatch or exceptional circumstances can delay release.Source 11Source 19
Withdrawal destinationNormally return to the original funding source and client’s own accountADFX may refuse an alternative destination or require verification. No fixed contractual bank-arrival guarantee or complete processor tariff was established.Source 19Source 23Source 11
Statements and discrepanciesElectronic confirmations and account statements; history in the appClient agreement §3.2 requires manifest errors to be identified and notified within 24 hours of issue. This record-objection clause is separate from the formal complaint handling timetable.Source 19Source 10
Closing an accountClient termination requires at least five business days’ written noticePositions and liabilities must be settled. Contingent obligations can justify retaining money after the closure request.Source 19

USDT is a funding method, not proof of a USDT-denominated trading account or a guaranteed one-to-one conversion rate. For instruments with a separate profit currency, ADFX calculates contract value and P&L in that currency before conversion into the account currency. The client remains responsible for tax liabilities; the public documents do not establish a country-specific tax-form service.[26][19][3][5]

The privacy policy permits sharing data with group companies, service providers, introducers and authorities, including transfers abroad. Access, correction and other applicable data-rights requests go in writing to compliance, with identity verification possible. These general security provisions do not establish a specific two-factor login setup, password-recovery procedure or fixed withdrawal hold after changing credentials.[22][19]

Entity, client money and loss protections

Sections ↑

The VFSC’s current financial-dealer list independently matches ADFX Global Limited, licence 701016, with active A, B and C classes and a 6 February 2026 date. The website and contract identify this same Vanuatu operator. References to affiliated companies in Australia, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines and Seychelles do not combine those jurisdictions’ protections into this agreement.[30][1][19]

Protection and counterparty limits

Protection and counterparty limits
ItemWhat the documents establishBoundary
Client moneyAgreement §2.7 promises segregation from company money, with client funds pooled at an authorized financial institutionPooling is not a separate bank account for each customer. Bank/intermediary failure can affect recovery; the risk notice warns of unsecured claims. The company retains interest earned.Source 19Source 20
Retail negative balance protectionAgreement §11 provides an account-level reset to zeroExcludes fraud, abuse, suspicious trading and circumstances outside the company’s control where protection is not reasonably practicable. Professional clients and eligible counterparties are excluded unless agreed in writing.Source 19
Multiple accounts and liabilitiesThe negative-balance provision is account-specific; the contract separately permits consolidation and set-off across accountsA credit in one account is not necessarily insulated from a liability elsewhere. Conversion may apply when accounts use different currencies.Source 19
Execution relationshipThe risk notice states principal-to-principal dealing with ADFX as counterpartyNo-dealing-desk and liquidity-provider marketing does not eliminate this contractual exposure. The conflicts policy permits disclosure where conflicts cannot otherwise be managed.Source 20Source 2Source 24

The risk notice also warns of losses beyond deposits, so the retail loss limit should be read through the agreement’s specific eligibility and exceptions, not described as an unconditional guarantee. Neither the Professional plan name nor a high leverage setting settles the client’s legal classification.[20][19][2]

ADFX’s website claims Financial Commission membership and compensation of up to EUR 20,000. On 19 October 2026, the scheme owner’s participating-member roster and broker-check page did not establish a match for ADFX, its domain or the profiled legal entity. This claimed benefit is therefore unverified for this account; it is a separate question from the confirmed VFSC licence.[17][33][34][30]

The Financial Commission’s own fund terms specify a cap of EUR 20,000 per client of a member, rather than the broker page’s per-claim wording. Payment concerns an unpaid qualifying Commission decision, with identity checks and potentially reduced distributions if the fund is insufficient. Ordinary trading losses, blanket compensation on broker insolvency, managed-account trading and digital-currency market cases are excluded. The fund is not a government deposit guarantee.[17][35]

New-client deposit bonus: reward record before cash conversion

The current new-client campaign runs from 1 September through 31 December 2026, using the server trading-day close. Eligibility is limited to designated regions and live Standard, Pro and ECN accounts. Each account is assessed separately: qualifying net deposits are accumulated during the first seven calendar days after its first deposit, and the required volume must be completed within three calendar months of that first deposit.[25]

80,000–119,9997,8882,000Source 25
120,000 or more8,8883,000Source 25

Before conversion, §5.6 makes the bonus solely a reward record: it cannot be traded, transferred or withdrawn, does not count as account equity or margin, and cannot absorb losses. After completing the volume requirement, the client may request cash conversion without waiting for the three-month period to end; the stated completion clock is ten business days after verification. Converted cash then follows normal withdrawal rules.[25]

Withdrawals and internal transfers can reduce a qualifying account’s net deposit and bonus tier. The terms’ examples also reduce entitlement following later withdrawals, so the first-seven-day calculation should not be treated as permanently locking the reward. The PDF contains inconsistent example dates; the operative first-deposit volume window and conversion rule above are the usable published provisions. Suspected coordinated accounts, artificial volume or other promotional abuse can lead to revoked rewards, profit adjustments or account restrictions.[25]

USDT deposit rewards: monthly cash settlement

A separate USDT campaign began on 1 January 2026 and is stated to continue until further notice. It aggregates qualifying monthly net USDT deposits and closed trading lots across the same client’s accounts, with one reward per client per calendar-month cycle. This differs from the account-by-account new-client campaign.[26]

20,000–49,99920020Source 26
50,000 or more50050Source 26

The stated settlement window is ten business days in the following month after the cycle closes. Once credited, the USDT reward is cash that can be traded or withdrawn. Combining it with another offer remains subject to both sets of terms; anti-abuse exclusions and company cancellation or amendment powers remain relevant.[26]

The Reward Center separately grants AD points for qualifying funding, closed trades and app activity, with five membership levels and different point multipliers. Redeemed cash is described as usable for trading, transfer or withdrawal; points themselves are not cash. A complete points-to-cash tariff and expiry schedule were not established. The still-linked 22nd-anniversary bonus page is a different offer whose published terms ended on 31 August 2026, so it is not counted as active alongside the September campaign.[15][28][27][25]

Company history and service boundaries

Sections ↑

ADFX’s own history traces its origins to commodity trading in 2004 and describes a later expansion into online multiasset brokerage and managed accounts. That is company-reported group history, distinct from the regulator’s February 2026 date for the current Vanuatu licence. The profiled operator’s registered address is Malapoa Estate, Port Vila, Vanuatu; the international footer explicitly assigns its website contracts to that company unless stated otherwise.[13][30][1]

The company history also mentions APIs and AI-assisted customer support as technology developments. The reviewed public material does not establish a current retail API’s permissions, funding authority or key-revocation controls, or an AI service authorized to place client orders. These historical claims do not change the execution-only contract or the need for separate written manager authority.[13][19][20]
