AUTU Securities offers an international derivatives account range built around MT5, cTrader and its own mobile app. The current market menu covers currencies, indices, metals, energy, share CFDs and cryptocurrencies. Its website promotes algorithmic trading and scalping, but the cost tables need more interpretation than the headline account names suggest.[2]
Accounts, entity and eligibility
Sections ↑This profile concerns Autu Securities International Inc. The website terms identify that company behind the AUTU brand and name autu.global, autu.finance and autuglobal.com. They exclude users in the United States, Iran and Canada, among other restricted locations. A residence option in a contact form is not confirmation that an account will be accepted.[3]
VFSC lists the entity as active.[1]
Published account choices
These are account-page figures, not an all-in trading-cost quote. The deposit symbol is printed without an ISO currency code. The 50% figure is expressly a margin call; it should not be relabelled as the automatic liquidation threshold. The page permits funding after initial sign-up and requires verification for withdrawals.[5]
The funding FAQ instead requires verification before deposits and live trading. It also shows a $100 minimum for every listed payment method, which may prevent using the Raw Spread account’s lower opening figure through those methods. Confirm the applicable verification sequence and payment floor in the portal before sending money.[17]
The legal hub links website terms, execution rules, privacy and risk documents. These refer to a separate Client Agreement, but that agreement was not retrievable from the current public hub. The document accepted at account opening therefore remains essential for contractual fees, termination rights and the precise account configuration.[4]
Demo accounts are available for practice with virtual funds. They provide a way to learn platform functions and order handling without funding a live account; practice results do not establish real execution quality or withdrawal performance.[6]
Markets and contract checks
Sections ↑Representative products in the current market pages
| Market | Examples | Published leverage ceiling | What the exposure represents |
|---|---|---|---|
| Forex | EURUSD, USDJPY, AUDUSD, EURGBP | 1:500 | Leveraged currency trading; instrument-specific quotes and swaps.Source 8 |
| Metals | XAUUSD and XAGUSD; additional metal crosses | 1:500 | Gold and silver price exposure; verify contract size in the terminal.Source 9 |
| Energy | WTI OIL, WTI.f, UKOil | 1:500 | Oil instruments with distinct spot/futures labels.Source 10 |
| Indices | SP500, NASDAQ, DJIA, HK50, DAX30 | 1:500 | Index derivatives rather than ownership of constituent shares.Source 11 |
| Shares | AAPL, MSFT, NVDA, TSLA, META | 1:10 | Stock CFDs, with financing separate from the entry spread.Source 12 |
| Crypto | BTCUSD, ETHUSD, SOLUSD, XRPUSD | 1:100 | Crypto CFDs; do not treat this as a coin custody account.Source 13 |
The separate futures page currently displays currency-pair rows rather than a usable dated futures catalogue. Before trading an expiring product, obtain its current symbol, contract size, last trading date and settlement or rollover treatment. The presence of a futures menu is insufficient to establish a current exchange contract.[14]
The commissions schedule also retains March 2025 orange-juice, cocoa and cotton symbols. Those entries should not be presented as live October 2026 expiries.[15]
Spreads, commission and overnight holding
Sections ↑AUTU’s market tables label their spread and commission columns “in pips”, yet commission cells contain dollar amounts or percentages and spread cells sometimes look like raw price increments. The following figures preserve the printed values. They are not converted into a round-trip dollar comparison because charging side, lot basis and percentage denominator are not consistently specified.[15]
Representative printed pricing
| Instrument | Spread cell | Commission cell | Interpretation limit |
|---|---|---|---|
| EURUSD | 0.00005 | $10 | The page calls this an average spread in pips; price/pip convention and commission basis need confirmation.Source 8 |
| XAUUSD / XAGUSD | 0.18 / 0.3 | $10 | No safe per-lot round-trip calculation follows from these cells alone.Source 9 |
| WTI OIL / UKOil | 0.01 / 0.02 | $10 | Confirm the exact spot or futures symbol and contract size.Source 10 |
| BTCUSD / ETHUSD | 6 / 1 | 3% | The percentage’s base and whether it applies on each side are unstated.Source 13 |
| AAPL / NVDA | 0.2 / 0.1 | 3% | A percentage commission cannot be compared with a per-lot FX amount without its denominator.Source 12 |
Overnight examples require the account tab
| Account/instrument | Published long / short cells | What to establish before holding |
|---|---|---|
| Standard EURUSD | 1.07 / 2.503 | The table does not clearly establish signs, charging period or cash conversion.Source 8 |
| Standard XAUUSD | 0.367 / 0 | Confirm whether the non-zero value is a debit or credit and its unit.Source 9 |
| Standard WTI OIL | 0.0286 / 0.0286 | Read the current terminal specification for this exact oil instrument.Source 10 |
| Standard BTCUSD | 14.221 / 14.221 | Raw and cTrader tabs instead display zero-percent swap cells; establish the booked account treatment.Source 13 |
| Standard shares | 18% / 18% | No period is specified, so these entries are not treated as annual rates.Source 12 |
The Islamic account page describes swap-free treatment for selected instruments under fair-use review. It does not establish that every asset can be held indefinitely without an alternative charge. Ask for the applicable instrument list, any holding limits and the consequences of losing eligibility before transferring an overnight strategy.[7]
Execution, margin and platform operation
Sections ↑Execution policy: the practical consequences
| Issue | Published treatment |
|---|---|
| Counterparty | AUTU remains principal and sole counterparty, despite transmitting orders to liquidity providers; transactions are OTC.Source 16 |
| Stops, limits and gaps | Orders may fill at the next available price. Some pending orders require 50 points’ distance for unspecified account types.Source 16 |
| Failed or completed instructions | Technical or quote faults may cause rejection. An executed order cannot then be cancelled or amended.Source 16 |
| Liquidation | Stop-out can occur without notice; the client remains responsible for any outstanding balance.Source 16 |
Forex is advertised for 24-hour weekday trading, indices follow market-specific sessions, and crypto CFDs have advertised 24/7 availability. Holidays and special events can change these sessions. The trading-hours page is a broad guide rather than a full symbol-by-symbol holiday calendar.[18]
Available platform routes
| Route | Published capabilities | Operational distinction |
|---|---|---|
| MetaTrader 5 | Desktop, browser and mobile access; charting and MQL5 automation. | Use the broker’s current server and account credentials. A mobile login does not itself establish that a desktop program is running.Source 19 |
| cTrader | Desktop, web and mobile access; depth of market, advanced orders and automation. | Platform availability does not establish a particular API permission or broker integration.Source 20 |
| AUTU mobile app | iOS and Android; balances, margin, charts, positions and order management. | These are documented features; device persistence, outage handling and authentication recovery were not tested.Source 21 |
AUTU advertises a VPS for operating a platform and automated strategies when the local device is off. The page promotes free availability without a complete qualifying deposit, volume or renewal schedule. Confirm eligibility and what happens to running strategies if the hosting benefit ends.[24]
Funding, withdrawals and usable cash
Sections ↑Current payment-page terms
| Published group | Deposit / withdrawal minimum | Commission | Advertised processing |
|---|---|---|---|
| Visa / bank, WeChat Pay, Alipay | $100 / $100 | $0 | Deposit instant; withdrawal within two working hours.Source 17 |
| Crypto payment card | $100 / $100 | $0 | Deposit within one working hour; withdrawal within two working hours.Source 17 |
The method-specific currency and provider availability should be confirmed in the portal. The page generally returns withdrawals to the funding method where applicable. Its processing estimates do not guarantee when a bank, wallet or blockchain transfer is finally received.[17]
The account page separately advertises instant withdrawals only for credit-card withdrawals up to 2,000 in euros, dollars or pounds. That narrower statement is not a promise of instant bank or crypto withdrawals.[5]
The execution policy permits cancellation of bonuses, withheld funds and a 5% deposit penalty for suspected bonus hunting, including particular under-10-point profit patterns involving non-turnover bonuses. That is not a general prohibition of every short trade. No current, fully specified retail bonus offer was established from the inspected account pages.[16]
Client money and the limits of protection
Sections ↑AUTU says client money is segregated from operating funds and held with banking partners. The safety page does not identify an insurer, policy certificate, per-client payout cap or aggregate cover. Segregation and promotional references to security should therefore be read separately from any compensation or insurance entitlement.[25]
The risk disclosure warns that leveraged losses can exceed the initial deposit. Do not infer an unconditional negative-balance guarantee from margin controls or a stop-out mechanism. Price gaps and market liquidity can affect the final amount remaining in an account.[26]
Support, records and account administration
Sections ↑Public support route
Scope General account and service enquiries. The current contact page does not establish an authenticated emergency dealing procedure.
If access fails while positions are open, use the current portal and support route promptly, provide the account and order identifiers, and retain timestamps and any reply. A general contact form should not be assumed to accept a binding cancellation or telephone trade. An execution acknowledgement is needed before treating an instruction as completed.[27]
The privacy agreement describes identity and contact verification, activation codes and account passwords, together with disclosures needed for regulatory and tax obligations. It does not provide a customer procedure for restoring lost authentication or a published withdrawal hold after recovery. Its references to tax authorities also do not establish customer tax certificates or post-closure export access.[28]
Copying, automation and additional services
Sections ↑Copy trading lets a funded client select a provider, set allocation and risk limits, and mirror positions. The page says copying can be stopped, but does not explain whether existing positions close, pending orders remain, or exposure returns to manual control. Establish those consequences and any provider fees before disconnecting a strategy.[22]
The trading-bot page describes automated execution according to user-defined rules, with controls to adjust or stop the bot. It does not document a broker API’s read, trade or withdrawal permissions, or identify those rules as an autonomous AI service. Treat any additional automation connection as a separate authorization decision.[23]
A separate company brochure promotes AutuGPT for creating, testing and refining strategies without coding, and mentions an open API. That brochure does not establish current account eligibility, live execution authority, approval controls or API permission scopes. The promoted AI service should not be assumed to have authority over a newly opened account.[32]
An economic calendar supplies scheduled event information for planning around announcements. It does not alter the order-execution or gap rules. Introducing-broker and affiliate programmes are separate commercial relationships; referral compensation should not be mistaken for a cash benefit available to every trading account.[29][30]
Company context
Sections ↑AUTU’s own history dates platform development and internal testing to 2020, followed by the mobile application’s official launch in 2021. These are product milestones. They do not establish the company’s incorporation date, the start of a particular licence or a verified current customer count.[31]
