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]

Accounts and eligibility
Sections ↑Current account plans
| Plan | Published opening and pricing terms | Scope |
|---|---|---|
| Standard | USD 500 minimum; 0.01-lot minimum; displayed spread from 1.7; headline commission USD 0 | MT4/MT5 offering. The product schedules supply the usable spread units and asset-specific charges.Source 2Source 8Source 9Source 3 |
| Professional | USD 500 minimum; 0.01-lot minimum; displayed spread from 1.2; headline commission USD 0 | Professional is the account-plan name. It does not establish the client’s legal classification or automatic exclusion from retail protections.Source 2Source 19 |
| ECN | USD 500 minimum; 0.01-lot minimum; displayed spread from zero; headline commission USD 5 | The account page does not state the USD 5 quantity or charging side. FX, commodity, index and crypto schedules must be distinguished.Source 2Source 3Source 4Source 7 |
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]
Markets and contract exposure
Sections ↑Published market range
| Market | Examples and contract scope | Published leverage or operating detail |
|---|---|---|
| Foreign exchange | More than 50 pairs advertised; EURUSD, GBPUSD, AUDUSD and other majors, crosses and exotics. Standard FX contracts use 100,000 base-currency units per lot. | Majors/minors: 1:500 default, up to 1:800 by application. Exotic FAQ and the USDCNH table differ as described above.Source 3 |
| Precious metals | Gold and silver plus platinum and palladium CFDs. Listed gold contract: 100 ounces; silver: 1,000 ounces. | Gold/silver tables: 1:500; platinum/palladium: 1:100. No bullion ownership or physical delivery.Source 4Source 20 |
| Energy | WTI and Brent oil plus natural gas. Cash oil pricing is described as derived from underlying futures. | Published 1:200. The cash contracts’ absence of a scheduled expiry does not remove daily financing charges.Source 4 |
| Indices | US, European and Asian equity indices, including S&P 500, Nasdaq 100, DAX, FTSE, Nikkei and Hang Seng; a US Dollar Index is also listed. | Published 1:200. Sessions and breaks vary by symbol; the dollar index is currency-index exposure rather than an equity basket.Source 5 |
| Shares | More than 100 US share CFDs advertised, including Apple, Amazon, Alphabet and AMD. | Published 1:50. Share CFDs do not convey voting rights or attendance at shareholder meetings.Source 6Source 19 |
| Cryptocurrencies | Bitcoin and Ether CFD specifications are published alongside other crypto instruments. | Bitcoin table displays 1:100. Crypto trading is separate from depositing USDT and from promotion-eligible trading volume.Source 7Source 25Source 26 |
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]
Spreads, commissions and ongoing charges
Sections ↑Published spread and commission examples
| Instrument or charge | Standard / Professional / ECN | How to read the figure |
|---|---|---|
| EURUSD spread | 17 / 12 / 1 points | The FX schedule calls these reference typical spreads, expressed in minimum platform quote increments. It supplies no observation window; they are not fixed execution prices.Source 3 |
| Gold spread | 28 / 22 / 7 points | The metal schedule uses platform points. Different quote increments and contract sizes prevent direct monetary comparison with the FX figures.Source 4 |
| S&P 500 CFD spread | 25 / 15 / 10 points | Published for SPX500.S, SPX500 and SPX500.E. Variable spread, with market and liquidity conditions affecting execution.Source 5 |
| FX/index commission | 0 / 0 / 5 in the product tables; ECN account headline USD 5 | The public display does not establish whether 5 is per lot, per side or per completed trade. A round-trip cost cannot be calculated reliably.Source 2Source 3Source 5 |
| Commodity commission | 0.00 in the Standard, Professional and ECN commodity tables | This product-specific display differs from the general ECN commission headline; confirm the selected symbol’s accepted tariff.Source 2Source 4 |
| Share commission | Landing-page/FAQ claim: zero; instrument table: 0.02 | The 0.02 amount has no clear currency, percentage, per-share or charging-side basis. The published inconsistency remains unresolved.Source 6 |
| Crypto commission | USD 7 per lot advertised | Charging side is not identified. Contract sizes vary across crypto symbols, so per-lot commission is not a common notional charge.Source 7 |
Financing and non-trading charges
| Item | Published rule | Material qualification |
|---|---|---|
| Overnight swaps | Instrument-specific debit or credit after 23:59 server time | FX, gold and silver use triple Wednesday; energy and indices use triple Friday. Server time is described as GMT+3 in US daylight time and GMT+2 in standard time; dated holiday/session notices can change hours.Source 3Source 4Source 5 |
| Swap-free treatment | Available only on the company’s terms; alternative fees or rates may apply | The agreement allows retrospective charges or withdrawal of the concession for abuse. Conversion requires a written request after open positions are closed and balances reconciled.Source 19 |
| Dormancy | USD 10 monthly, or account-currency equivalent, after three continuous months without client-initiated trading or funding | Automatically deducted while dormant. A zero or non-positive balance that remains so can lead to disabling or closure; that is separate from the monthly fee.Source 19 |
| Currency conversion | The company’s prevailing conversion rate | Deposits, trading P&L and cross-currency account adjustments can require conversion. No fixed conversion markup or complete current base-currency menu was established.Source 19Source 3 |
| Special administration | Additional charges may apply to manual processing, duplicate statements or requested documents | The agreement does not provide a complete numeric schedule for these services.Source 19 |
Platforms, execution and margin
Sections ↑Platforms and order controls
| Feature | Published operation | Limit or condition |
|---|---|---|
| MT4 and MT5 | Desktop, browser and iOS/Android access; MT4 uses MQL4 and MT5 MQL5 automation | The platform pages describe expert advisers, analytical tools and order controls. They do not establish that desktop EAs run on a phone or continue through a disconnected terminal.Source 8Source 9 |
| ADFX mobile app | Balances, transaction history, deposits, withdrawals, news, notifications and in-app chat | These 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 expiry | Market, limit and stop orders; pending orders may be Good for Day or Good Till Cancelled | Availability 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 liquidation | Account comparison: 100% call; 20% stop-out; zero hedged margin | Margin 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 errors | Orders are subject to pricing feeds, liquidity and system availability | Acceptance 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 hedging | The account and forex pages advertise these as allowed | The 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]
Funding, withdrawals and account records
Sections ↑Cash and account administration
| Process | Published route or timing | Conditions |
|---|---|---|
| Funding methods | Bank transfer, cards and e-wallets, subject to country and portal availability; USDT funding is separately documented | The agreement and AML policy require payment accounts in the client’s own name. Cash and third-party deposits are not accepted.Source 11Source 19Source 23Source 26 |
| Deposit timing and fees | Usually immediate or within a few hours; no company funding fee advertised | Method-specific minimums appear in the portal. The USD 500 account opening minimum is a separate rule. Banks, processors and conversion can add costs.Source 11Source 2Source 19 |
| Withdrawal request | Submit the account and amount through the client portal; typical processing stated as 1–3 business days | An estimate, dependent on method and bank. Available balance must cover margin and liabilities; AML review, destination/source mismatch or exceptional circumstances can delay release.Source 11Source 19 |
| Withdrawal destination | Normally return to the original funding source and client’s own account | ADFX 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 discrepancies | Electronic confirmations and account statements; history in the app | Client 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 account | Client termination requires at least five business days’ written notice | Positions 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
| Item | What the documents establish | Boundary |
|---|---|---|
| Client money | Agreement §2.7 promises segregation from company money, with client funds pooled at an authorized financial institution | Pooling 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 protection | Agreement §11 provides an account-level reset to zero | Excludes 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 liabilities | The negative-balance provision is account-specific; the contract separately permits consolidation and set-off across accounts | A credit in one account is not necessarily insulated from a liability elsewhere. Conversion may apply when accounts use different currencies.Source 19 |
| Execution relationship | The risk notice states principal-to-principal dealing with ADFX as counterparty | No-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]

Managed accounts, rewards and research
Sections ↑Additional trading and account services
| Service | Documented operation | Conditions that matter |
|---|---|---|
| PAMM | Investors contribute to a pool traded by a manager, with proportional profit/loss allocation and shared reporting | The public description does not establish a complete manager fee schedule, minimum subscription or exit/valuation timetable. The manager makes trading decisions.Source 14 |
| MAM | A master account allocates trades to separate client accounts, with individual lot/risk settings and reporting | Automation is advertised, but removing manager authority is not documented as automatically closing existing positions. The client agreement keeps accepted authority effective until written revocation is received.Source 14Source 19 |
| Research and education | Market commentary, an economic calendar, calculators, glossary and educational material | Execution-only information does not take the place of an individualized recommendation or authorization to trade.Source 1Source 20Source 19 |
| App research sections | The 24 September 2026 update announced News and Strategies sections | The same announcement described Lucky Draw as a planned future addition, so it is not treated as an established current feature.Source 16 |
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]
New-client bonus thresholds
| Qualifying net deposit (USD) | Potential cash bonus (USD) | Required standard lots |
|---|---|---|
| 500–1,999 | 58 | 15Source 25 |
| 2,000–4,999 | 188 | 50Source 25 |
| 5,000–9,999 | 488 | 120Source 25 |
| 10,000–19,999 | 988 | 250Source 25 |
| 20,000–49,999 | 1,988 | 500Source 25 |
| 50,000–79,999 | 4,888 | 1,250Source 25 |
| 80,000–119,999 | 7,888 | 2,000Source 25 |
| 120,000 or more | 8,888 | 3,000Source 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]
USDT monthly reward thresholds
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]
