Accounts & headline costs
Sections ↑AIMS presents a Standard account on MT4/MT5 and an Islamic financing waiver. Match these global website terms to the entity in the accepted agreement.[2]
Account comparison01
Account choice and financing treatment
| Attribute | Standard | Swap-free treatment |
|---|---|---|
| Published deposit / order minimum | USD 50; 0.01 lot | No distinct deposit or lot minimum stated on the swap-free pageSource 2Source 3 |
| Platform | MT4 and MT5 | MT4 and MT5Source 2Source 3 |
| Separate trading commission | USD 0 per trade | Same advertised pricing, subject to legal conditionsSource 2Source 3 |
| Overnight treatment | Applicable instrument swap unless waived | Eligible positions: ten-day swap-free windowSource 3 |
| Eligibility | Application and verification | Islamic-faith clients; request and confirmation through supportSource 3 |
Pricing & charges02
Reference-market pricing
| Instrument | Published information | What the figure does and does not establish |
|---|---|---|
| EUR/USD | From 1.5 pips; indicative 1.5–1.6 | Variable company quotation, not an observed or typical averageSource 2 |
| USD/JPY and GBP/USD | Pairs listed; account-specific spread not recovered | Request the live symbol specification and dealing quoteSource 11 |
| Gold / XAUUSD | Indicative spread 1.8–2.8 | The account page leaves the numerical unit unclear; no USD-per-ounce conversion assumedSource 2 |
| WTI crude CFD | Product explicitly offered; no exact cash/dated contract price recovered | Symbol, expiry, lot size and spread require the actual specificationSource 15 |
Products & market access
Sections ↑The core range consists of leveraged, off-exchange derivatives. A CFD tracks a price difference without transferring the underlying asset. The separate fractional-share promotion needs an additional ownership check because its marketing language is broader than the explicit CFD descriptions.[24][13]
Reference table03
FX and exchange-index exposure
| Product | Published examples / breadth | Practical scope |
|---|---|---|
| Forex | 70+ major, minor and cross pairs; EUR/USD, USD/JPY and GBP/USD | Two-way leveraged exposure; per-symbol sessions and financing applySource 11 |
| Equity indices | 15+; US500, Nasdaq, Dow, FTSE, DAX, Nikkei and Hang Seng examples | Index exposure rather than ownership of constituent sharesSource 14 |
| Special index products | Volatility and US-dollar index products are promoted | Check the exact symbol, trading session and contract schedule separatelySource 14 |
Reference table04
Commodity exposure
| Product | Published range | Contract information to distinguish |
|---|---|---|
| Precious metals | Gold, silver, platinum and palladium; gold/silver crosses in more than one currency | Quote currency and ounces per lot can differ; gold account-page spread lacks a clear unitSource 15 |
| Energy CFDs | WTI crude oil, Brent crude and natural gas | No delivery inferred. Cash versus dated contracts, expiry and roll treatment must be checkedSource 15 |
| Access | Commodity page promotes MT5; the MT4 page also lists commodities | This does not establish that every symbol is available on both platformsSource 15Source 16 |
Account comparison05
Share CFDs versus the fractional-share offer
| Attribute | Share CFDs | Fractional-share promotion |
|---|---|---|
| Catalogue | 100+ US, UK and European shares | 1,700+ shares across US, UK, Europe and Hong KongSource 12Source 13 |
| Examples | Apple, Nvidia and other large listed companies | Apple, Tesla, SAP, LVMH, Alibaba and Tencent examplesSource 12Source 13 |
| Platform | MT4 and MT5 | MT5Source 12Source 13 |
| Ownership | Expressly price exposure without underlying ownership | Company describes fractional ownership; custodian, beneficial title and transfer-out rights were not establishedSource 12Source 13 |
| Charges / size | Share page advertises no commission | 0.01 lot advertised; shares represented by one lot and fractional settlement rights need confirmationSource 12Source 13 |
The website also uses broad legal language for options, futures, swaps and forwards. That wording alone does not establish a separately accessible exchange-traded derivatives account. This profile treats the named current product catalogues as the usable evidence of retail availability.[4]
Platforms & products06
Platform capabilities
| Capability | MetaTrader 4 | MetaTrader 5 |
|---|---|---|
| Access | Desktop, web and mobile; Windows, iOS and Android links | Desktop, web and mobileSource 16Source 17 |
| Automation | MQL4 Expert Advisors, scripts and custom indicators | MQL5 Expert Advisors and strategy testingSource 16Source 17 |
| Analysis | 30 built-in indicators and nine timeframes advertised | 21 timeframes, economic calendar and depth-of-market tools advertisedSource 16Source 17 |
| Account modes | Check the selected account and server | Netting/hedging are promoted platform capabilities; the account’s enabled mode still needs confirmationSource 17 |
| Instrument access | MT4 catalogue may differ from newer product pages | The fractional-share offer is specifically promoted on MT5Source 16Source 17 |
Trading costs & account charges
Sections ↑Pricing & charges07
Cost components beyond the spread
| Charge | Published treatment | Material qualification |
|---|---|---|
| Standard dealing commission | No separate per-trade commission | The account-page phrase “all-in spread” does not remove financing and other contractual chargesSource 2 |
| Ordinary overnight swap | Instrument-dependent; rates can change | The risk notice directs clients to contract specifications before tradingSource 24 |
| Client cash interest | No entitlement to interest | No savings-account rate establishedSource 6 |
| Deposit charge | No AIMS deposit fee advertised | Payment-provider or currency-conversion charges remain separate questionsSource 10 |
| Inactivity fee versus closure | No specific inactivity tariff or timed deactivation rule recovered in current terms/FAQ | Silence does not establish zero fees or indefinite accessSource 4 |
Pricing & charges08
Swap-free eligibility, duration and exceptions
| Issue | Published rule | Account consequence |
|---|---|---|
| Normal waiver | Ten days on confirmed eligible FX, metals, indices and oil/gas | Exact eligible list confirmed when status is grantedSource 3 |
| Legal default versus application page | Legal terms say accounts are swap-free by default unless otherwise agreed; account page asks clients to request conversion | Confirm actual account status, rather than infer it from either general statementSource 9 |
| Changes and refusal | The firm can refuse, amend or withdraw the status at its discretion | The legal terms reserve altered pricing and charges despite the page’s identical-pricing claimSource 9 |
| Abuse or carry-trade exploitation | Retroactive swap from opening, administration penalties and revocation may apply | Deductions affect equity and available marginSource 9 |
| After ten days | A public instrument-by-instrument post-waiver tariff was not recovered | Obtain charge, currency, trigger day and any multiple-day accrual before holding through the boundarySource 9 |
Pricing & charges09
Financing and contract events
| Topic | What is documented | Current information limit |
|---|---|---|
| Overnight timing | Daily financing is a separate risk/cost component | The current inspected public pages do not establish one universal rollover time or triple-swap daySource 24 |
| Futures rollover | AIMS maintains a dedicated rollover page | No current dated symbol-by-symbol roll table was retrieved; do not treat an old notice as a current expirySource 19 |
| Currency conversion | Termination may involve currency conversion before returning residual cash | No universal current conversion markup was establishedSource 6 |
Platforms, orders & margin rules
Sections ↑Reference table10
Execution and order behaviour
| Issue | Published rule | Operational implication |
|---|---|---|
| Legal execution model | Non-principal STP broker; orders routed to approved third-party execution venues | This is AIMS’s policy description, not independently measured order flowSource 7 |
| Execution factors | Price and total cost normally prioritised alongside speed and likelihood | A quote is not a guarantee of the best price available elsewhereSource 7 |
| Order types | Market, Buy/Sell Limit, Buy/Sell Stop, stop-loss, take-profit and trailing stop | Market movement and available liquidity affect fillsSource 7 |
| Trailing stops | Run in the client terminal | They stop operating when that terminal is closedSource 7 |
| Large or unusual orders | May need manual pricing or processing | No-dealing-desk marketing is not an unconditional promise of instant automated fillsSource 7 |
| Technical or pricing errors | Orders can be refused and erroneous opening/closing prices adjusted | Save confirmations and query discrepancies promptlySource 7 |
Reference table11
Margin, liquidation and strategy limits
| Field | Published position | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Margin call | 200% margin level | Dashboard changes colour; reduce exposure or add marginSource 5 |
| Stop-out | 100% margin level; FAQ says all open positions close | Do not substitute a highest-loss-first rule from another brokerSource 5 |
| Credit in equity | Included credits can count as margin | Margin usability does not establish withdrawal rightsSource 5 |
| Permitted strategy marketing | Scalping, automated trading and liquidity matching are promoted | Contractual abuse rules remain applicableSource 20 |
| Prohibited patterns | Cross-account hedging, latency/arbitrage exploitation, coordinated exposure and intentional negative-balance abuse | The protection policy allows trade/profit adjustments and account restrictionsSource 8 |
Stops can fill beyond their trigger after a gap; low liquidity can delay exits. The risk disclosure also describes OTC positions as non-transferable to another person and highlights counterparty default exposure. These features matter even when the execution page describes straight-through routing.[24]
Trading & service hours12
Session and simulation limits
| Item | Published basis | Use carefully |
|---|---|---|
| Holiday schedule | The inspected trading-hours page displayed an August 2026 notice in GMT+3 | Check current instrument hours for the intended trading dateSource 18 |
| Fractional-share sessions | Page gives local-market share sessions | Regional holidays and daylight-saving conventions need the live symbol scheduleSource 13 |
| Demo execution | Execution policy says the simulation assumes effectively unlimited liquidity and uses a separate environment | Demo fills cannot verify live depth or execution reliabilitySource 7 |
Deposits, withdrawals & account balances
Sections ↑Reference table13
Public funding information
| Item | What is available | What remains method-specific |
|---|---|---|
| Channels | Bank transfers, cards and popular electronic wallets | Named providers, currencies and residence eligibility are not fully itemisedSource 10 |
| Deposits | No AIMS deposit fee advertised | Method minima/maxima, conversion costs and final credit time need the portal quotationSource 10 |
| Withdrawals | A public funding route is described | No complete withdrawal-fee schedule, cut-off or processing-time guarantee was recoveredSource 10 |
| Return route | Original deposit source where possible | Beneficiary details and AML checks requiredSource 6 |
| Payment review | Identification and source-of-funds information can be requested | A transaction may be delayed or refused for compliance reasonsSource 6 |
Reference table14
Cash, credit and access after closure
| Issue | Practical distinction | Published limit |
|---|---|---|
| Withdrawable cash versus equity | Open profit/loss and margin requirements change equity and free margin | A positive displayed account figure is not an unconditional withdrawal promiseSource 6 |
| Promotional credit | FAQ allows credit to support margin | No current general credit-withdrawal, turnover, expiry or removal schedule was establishedSource 5 |
| Withdrawal-induced risk | A withdrawal reducing margin to 50% or less is listed among potentially abusive behaviour | This is a restriction, not permission to withdraw down to that levelSource 8 |
| Account termination | Either party can give written notice; prior obligations survive | Positions can close, accounts combine and amounts owed be deducted before the residual balance is returnedSource 6 |
No complete dormancy or reactivation timetable was established. Request the applicable fees and restoration procedure before leaving money unused; archiving and legal termination are different events.[4]
Client protections & entity-specific risks
Sections ↑Protections & eligibility15
Protection mechanisms are distinct
| Mechanism | Documented statement | Limit |
|---|---|---|
| Client-money segregation | AIMS says client funds are segregated from its own and not used for company business | Segregation alone does not guarantee recovery in a failureSource 20 |
| Conditional negative-balance policy | Liability cap based on funds in the relevant CFD account, including net pending profit | Abuse findings can remove protection, permit offsets/recovery and lead to account restrictionsSource 8 |
| Private insurance headline | Company says up to USD 2m per client for a shortfall in segregated customer assets, including insolvency | It excludes ordinary trading losses; the policy wording was not inspectedSource 21 |
| Statutory compensation | No applicable retail compensation scheme entitlement established for this global route | Do not equate private insurance with a statutory investor compensation schemeSource 25 |
Protections & eligibility16
Insurance: individual claim versus shared capacity
| Insurance term | What is documented | Remaining evidence gap |
|---|---|---|
| Individual amount | Company-published USD 2m per client | Not independently confirmed against policy wordingSource 21 |
| Coverage enrolment | All retail clients said to be covered automatically at no extra charge | Entity and beneficiary definitions need the actual contractSource 21 |
| Overall aggregate | Not established | A per-client headline does not reveal the shared amount available to all claimantsSource 22 |
| Insurer and policy period | Not established from the accessible certificate route | Named insurer, expiry, deductible, claim route and renewal terms need confirmationSource 22 |
Opening an account, support & trade queries
Sections ↑Reference table17
Onboarding and access
| Requirement | Current published position |
|---|---|
| Age / identification | Adults over 18; government ID or passport and address evidence dated within three monthsSource 5 |
| Suitability information | Appropriateness assessment; financial position and investment experience may be requestedSource 24 |
| Excluded residents | Examples include USA, Iran, Cuba, Sudan, Syria, North Korea and sanctioned statesSource 5 |
| Account deletion / closure | FAQ disallows MT4 deletion; request contractual closure separatelySource 5 |

Reference table18
Outage and disputed-order handling
| Situation | Documented position | Missing dealing detail |
|---|---|---|
| Disconnected terminal | The execution policy makes trailing stops client-terminal dependent | Do not assume a trailing stop continues after disconnectionSource 7 |
| Support versus trading authority | Terms cover electronic orders and recorded communications | Emergency dealing number, authentication and acceptance hours remain unverifiedSource 6 |
| Technical failure | Execution can be delayed, refused or corrected under policy | No public outage-specific complaint deadline or guaranteed compensation tariff was recoveredSource 7 |
| Credential compromise | Keep credentials private and notify AIMS immediately about unauthorised access | Written confirmation is useful when restoring accessSource 23 |
Reference table19
Personal information and account records
| Subject | Policy position | Practical effect |
|---|---|---|
| Data retained | At least six years after transactions or termination | Closing an account does not necessarily erase the required recordSource 23 |
| Data sharing | Regulators, service providers, financial institutions, introducing brokers and group processors where applicable | Read the accepted privacy notice before sending identity documentsSource 23 |
| Access / correction | Requests can be sent to support; administrative fees may apply to access | Deletion is qualified by legal, regulatory and business-record dutiesSource 23 |
Tools, automation & additional services
Sections ↑Reference table20
Research, automated trading and partner services
| Service | Current evidence | Scope / limitation |
|---|---|---|
| Research and calendar | Market overview, economic calendar and education links are provided | Availability is not a verified signal-performance recordSource 1 |
| Expert Advisors | Both MetaTrader platforms support their respective automation languages | Review strategy permissions, uptime and margin independentlySource 16Source 17 |
| Copy trading | MT5 page mentions copying as a platform capability | A current AIMS-specific copying agreement, subscription tariff and disconnect treatment were not foundSource 17 |
| PAMM / MAM / VPS / API | Current global retail eligibility and tariff not established | MetaTrader compatibility does not establish a management mandate or free serverSource 4 |
| Institutional services | Company describes execution, clearing and technical support for retail and institutional clients | Institutional minimums, connectivity and negotiated commercial terms are not published in the reviewed global pagesSource 20 |
| Introducing brokers | An official regional partner page describes referral participation and a portal | The referral relationship is separate from the retail trading contract; remuneration rates are not reproducedSource 28 |
If a copying service is offered during onboarding, obtain the broker-specific terms before connecting it. The inspected global pages do not settle whether disconnecting stops only future copies, closes existing positions, preserves attached orders or crystallises fees. A platform capability alone does not answer those account responsibilities.[17]
Company, legal scope & history
Sections ↑AIMS says it was established in 2015 and reports a presence across more than 21 countries. That footprint is a company description of its business reach, not a list of jurisdictions in which every visitor can open an account. The global website identifies its Labuan contact location.[1]
Event timeline21
Identity and document interpretation
| Issue | Current finding | Account consequence |
|---|---|---|
| Global versus regional brand | The AIMSCAP regional FAQ identifies a separate Cambodian company alongside its Labuan reference | Regional terms and licences are not automatically the protection for an aimsfx.com accountSource 26 |
| Current agreement version | Main-site terms are dated January 2026 and say they supersede earlier terms | The registration route still links an older PDF; retain the agreement actually acceptedSource 6Source 27 |
| Brand or entity transfer | No current global migration notice with automatic-transfer rules was established | A brand label alone does not prove balances, positions or earlier liabilities moved to another entitySource 27 |
| Authority evidence | An official indexed Labuan list names Auric; current detailed permissions were not recovered | The licence number shown in this profile remains company-published rather than independently confirmedSource 25 |

| Payments | Method-specific withdrawal cost, currency and completion time | The public funding page does not provide a full tariffSource 10 |
