Accounts and entity selection
Sections ↑The Australian issuer is AETOS Capital Group Pty Ltd. The separate UK company is not a current regulated account alternative: the FCA’s indexed register entry for FRN 592778 says it can no longer provide regulated activities and was previously authorised. Older UK professional marketing remains online.[1][9]
Australian Standard account
| Term | Published specification |
|---|---|
| Initial funding | AUD 250Source 2Source 1 |
| Minimum standard FX order | 0.01 lotSource 2Source 1 |
| Maximum standard order | 50 lots per trade, subject to the stated conditionsSource 2Source 1 |
| Client classification | Retail by default unless wholesale criteria are metSource 2Source 1 |
| Platforms | MT4 and MT5; product availability differsSource 2Source 1 |
The Standard page counts the larger side of a hedged position, including relevant pending orders, for its stated trading limit. That volume rule is not evidence of a retail margin discount for hedged positions.[2]

CFD markets and contract differences
Sections ↑Market families
| Family | Examples from Australian pages |
|---|---|
| FX | Major and cross-currency CFDsSource 4Source 3Source 5 |
| Metals | Gold, silver and copper-linked contractsSource 4Source 3Source 5 |
| Energy | Crude-oil and natural-gas CFDsSource 4Source 3Source 5 |
| Indices | Cash and futures-linked indicesSource 4Source 3Source 5 |
| Shares | Australian and US share CFDsSource 4Source 3Source 5 |
| ETFs | US ETF CFDs, including iShares and Vanguard referencesSource 4Source 3Source 5 |
These instruments give derivative price exposure, not ownership of the referenced shares or ETF units. Cash and futures-linked symbols can have different funding and rollover treatment; the symbol specification matters more than the broad market label.[1][4]
Share and ETF order units
| Feature | Published terms |
|---|---|
| Trading platform | MT5Source 3Source 5 |
| Unit | One share or ETF CFD per lotSource 3Source 5 |
| Order range | 10–1,000 units, in increments of 10Source 3Source 5 |
| Stated maximum exposure | 10,000 units; verify the account-level applicationSource 3Source 5 |
| Published margin | 20% of notionalSource 3Source 5 |
| Product-page liquidation threshold | 80%; this is product-specificSource 3Source 5 |

Commission-only examples
| Transaction | Calculation | Commission |
|---|---|---|
| AUD 5,000 Australian share-CFD trade | 0.07% = AUD 3.50, below minimum | AUD 7Source 3 |
| AUD 20,000 Australian share-CFD trade | 0.07% × 20,000 | AUD 14Source 3 |
| 200 US share CFDs | 0.02 × 200 = USD 4, below minimum | USD 10Source 3 |
| 1,000 US share CFDs | 0.02 × 1,000 | USD 20Source 3 |
Opening and closing are separate trades, so minimum commissions can materially affect smaller positions. Australian share data costs AUD 10 per month under the published schedule, waived after four share-CFD trades in that month. Funding and dividend adjustments can remain payable even when commission is modest.[3]
Reading the FX specification
| Field | Practical interpretation |
|---|---|
| Typical spread | An indicative schedule value, not a guaranteed live executable spreadSource 4 |
| Long and short swap | Separate entries; both can be negativeSource 4 |
| Tick value | Varies with contract and quote currencySource 4 |
| Trading break | May prevent immediate entry or exitSource 4 |
| Cash versus futures CFD | The schedule distinguishes overnight financing from futures-linked productsSource 4 |
The recovered official product index was several months old and labels its spread figures without a sufficiently clear pip convention. It is unsuitable for an unqualified current-spread comparison. Use the live symbol specification and the Australian agreement for current swaps, financing and administrative charges.[4][1]
Platforms and execution
Sections ↑AETOS platform comparison
| Feature | MT4 | MT5 |

Pending orders described by AETOS
The comparison describes platform tools, not a tested execution speed, an uptime guarantee or permission for every automated strategy. An accepted stop order also does not by itself establish guaranteed protection against price gaps.[6][7]
Deposits and withdrawals
Sections ↑Cash movement
| Step | Published process |
|---|---|
| Funding identity | Depositor must match the trading clientSource 7Source 8 |
| Telegraphic-transfer arrival | Typically 1–5 business days, depending on banksSource 7Source 8 |
| Withdrawal instruction | Submit through the client portalSource 7Source 8 |
| Broker processing target | Within one business daySource 7Source 8 |
| Bank receipt | A further 1–5 business days can applySource 7Source 8 |
| Beneficiary | Client’s own name; third-party payouts are not acceptedSource 7Source 8 |
Client classification and loss protection
Sections ↑Australian retail versus wholesale
| Issue | Retail | Wholesale |
|---|---|---|
| Default classification | Retail unless another classification is established | Must meet applicable criteriaSource 1Source 10 |
| Loss beyond deposits | Australian disclosure says no subsequent payment obligation beyond deposited funds | Losses can exceed depositsSource 1Source 10 |
| CFD intervention protections | Australian retail CFD rules apply | Do not assume the retail protections carry overSource 1Source 10 |
ASIC’s retail CFD intervention includes leverage limits, standardised close-out arrangements, negative-balance protection and restrictions on inducements. These measures do not turn the CFD account into an insured bank deposit or protect deposited capital from trading loss.[10]
Support and complaint handling

| External complaint assessment | AFCA considers eligible complaints against members; contact the firm firstSource 1Source 5Source 11 |
No current Australian emergency-dealing procedure was recovered that promises orders can be placed by phone, email or chat during an outage. The public support number should not be described as a guaranteed backup execution desk.[1]

Documentation limitations
Sections ↑Several Australian agreement and tariff links were unavailable during the review. The detailed share and FX schedules above are attributed to the official indexed pages rather than represented as newly downloaded contracts. No universal inactivity fee, withdrawal fee, base-currency list or wholesale leverage limit is inferred from other AETOS entities’ documents.[1][3][4]
