Amber Markets: account tiers, futures costs and withdrawals

Amber Markets offers retail forex and multi-asset CFDs. This profile concerns the Mauritius website and the current agreement with Amber Markets Limited.[2]

The FAQ’s minimum-deposit answer uses Standard, Pro and Raw for USD 100/5,000/25,000. Those labels differ from the dedicated account table and the FAQ’s own account-types answer.[4]

The homepage advertises a free demonstration account.[1]

The AML manual requires verification of identity and beneficial ownership, the purpose of the account and the source of funds and wealth. Higher-risk cases can require enhanced checks. The material reviewed does not establish a universal approval time or one fixed document list for every residency.[5]

The specifications page describes cash-settled CFDs without physical delivery. It shows 145 listed instruments and more than 500 additional instruments on request. That is not proof that every advertised contract is enabled on every account.[11]

Mobile notifications do not establish that an EA runs locally on the phone. The page’s broad synchronisation claim does not document which custom indicators or saved layouts transfer across devices.[12]

Swaps are instrument-specific and use points × point size × contract size × lots, converted to USD. The specifications’ illustration of −8.61 points on one EUR/USD lot gives a USD 8.61 nightly charge; this is an example, not an observed current quote. The triple-swap day must be checked per symbol in MT5.[11]

The 2 October 2026 futures guide describes nine non-expiring futures CFDs, with floating spreads and no commission or overnight financing. Positions remain open through an underlying-contract switch. A balance adjustment offsets the price gap, then a service fee of 1% of the absolute gross adjustment is deducted, whether that adjustment is a credit or debit.[13]

The agreement freezes accounts after six months of inactivity/non-operation or zero balance/equity and closes them after twelve transaction-free months. Reactivation requires renewed checks, funding and a trade.[2]

The privacy policy separately mentions deactivation on day 100, but the trigger is poorly worded and cannot be reconciled confidently with the agreement. No fixed inactivity-charge amount was established.[14]

The agreement also uses a general 20% close-out threshold, which does not reconcile the higher-tier account settings.[2]

For these contracts, pending orders can be good-till-cancelled or given an expiry. GERft.c profit/loss is in EUR and converts to the account currency; the other listed contracts use USD.[13]

General specifications provide market, limit, stop and stop-limit orders, with Bid-based charts. Live MT5 symbol specifications override the website.[11]

The agreement requires prior EA approval. It prohibits positions closed within 120 seconds and permits removal of their profits; another ECN exception is inconsistent.[2]

EAs and trailing stops depend on the client terminal; EAs are prohibited on FIX API netting accounts.[2]

The linked expiry and holiday pages were still labelled September 2026 when checked on 20 October. They should not be used as a complete current session calendar.[15][16]

The FAQ lists crypto payments, bank transfers and Visa/Mastercard. Same-day withdrawal processing is advertised for requests before 10 a.m., 2 p.m. and 6 p.m.; the page supplies neither a timezone nor a clear mapping of each cutoff to a payment method. Later requests move to the next business day.[4]

Apple Pay refunds require a front-of-card copy; other specified card routes require it for withdrawals above deposited funds. A card/name mismatch can freeze the account and hold payment for investigation; failure to provide the requested evidence can continue the hold.[17]

The agreement allows the company to take equity generated from its credit. Broker credit is therefore not automatically cash available for withdrawal.[2]

The FAQ says client funds are held in segregated accounts. That is a company disclosure; the underlying bank arrangements were not independently inspected.[4]

The risk warning expressly permits losses beyond the amount deposited and further funding demands at short notice. No unconditional negative-balance guarantee, named insurance policy or quantified compensation entitlement was established from the reviewed legal material.[18]

The FAQ advertises support 24 hours a day, five days a week.[4]

The agreement excludes phone order instructions. Compromised credentials must be reported immediately; orders remain blocked until replacement credentials arrive.[2]

The privacy policy describes keeping personal, trading and account records for six years after the business relationship ends. Retention does not promise continuing portal access. A personal-data copy can be requested, but a tax-ready statement or particular trading-history export format was not established.[14]

Confirmations bind absent manifest error unless disputed in writing within two business days of receipt.[2]

Advanced Insights is described as complimentary for eligible adults with at least USD 10 in total deposits and ten closed lots in the preceding two months. Its terms classify the material as general marketing information and identify a third-party product. They do not establish authority to trade, move money or change account settings for a client.[22]

The introducing-broker programme pays volume-based rebates for referred trading and advertises referral materials and a support team. The public page does not establish one universal rebate amount for every instrument and partner.[23]

The website names Amber Markets Limited, Mauritius company C208909 GBC, and claims FSC licence GB24202807. A usable current named regulator entry was not retrieved, so the licence is company-reported here. The registered-office footer names Nalletamby Road, Morcellement Boucan Phoenix, separately from the contact office above.[1]

The site excludes the United States, Canada, Israel, North Korea, Belgium and UN/EU-sanctioned countries. It also links a separate LC website; this profile does not transfer the Mauritius licence or terms to that route. No dated migration or client-novation notice was established.[1]
