CMS Prime is an international forex and CFD brand whose market pages cover currency pairs, commodities, indices and stock CFDs. Its platform choice and managed-trading services sit alongside three account tiers, with the approved agreement determining the account’s precise product and legal scope.[6][7][8][9][1]
Accounts and opening requirements
Sections ↑Core, Master and Signature: published comparison
| Account | Minimum deposit | Advertised spread from | Maximum leverage | Platforms and minimum trade |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Core | USD 0 | 1.0 pip | 1:500 | MT4 / MT5; 0.01 lotSource 1Source 20 |
| Master | USD 5,000 | 0.6 pip | 1:200 | MT4 / MT5; 0.01 lotSource 1Source 20 |
| Signature | USD 10,000 | 0.0 pips | 1:100 | MT4 / MT5; 0.01 lotSource 1Source 20 |
The comparison page and the funding FAQ’s minimum-deposit answer, updated on 22 April 2026, agree on the figures above. However, the separate Core, Master and Signature pages each display USD 1,000. The public material therefore does not establish one consistent opening threshold: the amount shown in the approved application needs to resolve this before funding.[20][2][3][4]
The account-opening FAQ requires identity evidence and a recent proof of address, dated within three months. CMS Prime says most applications are approved within 24 hours after valid documents are supplied; this is a provider target rather than a guaranteed opening time. Multiple trading accounts are supported. The account’s base currency is fixed at creation, so a different base currency requires another account rather than an edit to the existing one.[5][22]
Markets and products
Sections ↑Main trading range
| Market | Published examples and structure | Practical scope |
|---|---|---|
| Forex | More than 40 pairs, including EUR/USD, GBP/USD and USD/JPY | Leveraged currency-price exposure through the trading accountSource 6 |
| Commodities | Gold, silver, crude oil and copper | CFDs; the applicable contract specification determines lot size, financing and dealing hoursSource 7 |
| Indices | S&P 500, Nasdaq, FTSE 100 and DAX examples | Index CFDs rather than ownership of a basket of sharesSource 8 |
| Shares | Stock CFDs on international companies in US and European markets | Exposure to price movements without acquiring the underlying stockSource 9 |
The platform pages advertise different instrument totals: MT4 is described with more than 200 CFDs, while MT5 promotes more than 2,000 instruments and a broader stock and ETF range. These are platform-level marketing counts, so an instrument available on one account or server should not be assumed to appear on the other.[14][15]
Spreads, charges and inactivity
Sections ↑The account table quotes starting spreads, which can widen with market conditions and do not establish the total cost of a completed trade. The pricing FAQ still uses older Standard and RAW Spread account names: it describes commission-free Standard trading and a per-lot RAW commission without providing a current numeric rate. Those labels cannot reliably be mapped onto Core, Master and Signature from the inspected pages.[10][1]
Costs beyond the headline spread
| Item | Published treatment | What fixes the charge |
|---|---|---|
| Overnight financing | Instrument-dependent swap charges or credits | The rate shown for the actual instrument in the platformSource 10 |
| Inactivity | A fee may apply after six consecutive months without trading | The inspected FAQ does not give the amountSource 10 |
| Funding and withdrawals | CMS Prime says it charges no deposit or withdrawal fee | Payment providers or banks may still deduct chargesSource 20Source 21 |
| Currency conversion | Conversions use prevailing rates of the relevant banking institutions under the terms | The customer bears exchange-rate effects; a funding currency is not necessarily the account’s base currencySource 12Source 22 |
A separate deactivation form lets the customer request account closure or deactivation for review. This is distinct from the inactivity rule: submitting the form is not evidence that an account has already closed, and the page does not define an automatic archiving timetable or reactivation charge.[23]
Platforms, execution and account records
Sections ↑Ways to trade and manage the account
| Interface | Published capabilities | Scope |
|---|---|---|
| MetaTrader 4 | Desktop, web and Android/iOS access; Expert Advisors | Charting, order entry and supported automated strategiesSource 14 |
| MetaTrader 5 | Desktop, web and Android/iOS access; Expert Advisors | A separately advertised, broader instrument catalogueSource 15 |
| CMS Prime Webtrader | Browser trading, one-click dealing, stop-loss, take-profit and trailing-stop controls | Custom layouts and synchronisation are advertised; uninterrupted operation is not guaranteedSource 16Source 13 |
| CMS Prime App | Android/iOS trading, charts and account functions | Includes Acuity market signals; these do not by themselves confer authority to trade for the customerSource 17 |
| My CMS Hub | Multiple live/demo accounts, funding requests and reports | An account-management portal alongside the dealing platformsSource 18 |
The Terms of Business state a 100% margin-call level and a 30% stop-out level. They also reserve action against specified abusive or erroneous-price trading and expressly include scalping or trades held for under four minutes. Automated-platform availability therefore does not mean every short-duration strategy is permitted.[11]
The online agreement directs customers to notify CMS Prime immediately in writing about lost credentials, unexpected orders or missing confirmations. During an internet or platform interruption it contemplates other contact, including calling a CMS representative. It does not supply a dedicated emergency dealing number or a telephone-order verification protocol.[13]
Active trading accounts receive daily confirmations under the Terms of Business. Missing or disputed confirmations must be raised within 24 hours, while trade, funding or system complaints have a stated 15-day notification window. Keeping portal records and transaction identifiers is therefore relevant even when a broader complaint is still being investigated.[11][18]
Deposits, withdrawals and account currency
Sections ↑Funding route and withdrawal workflow
| Stage | Published position | Timing or condition |
|---|---|---|
| Select a method | Bank transfers, Visa/Mastercard, selected wallets and local payment services are advertised; Tether also appears on the payment page | Methods depend on region; a listed deposit method does not establish withdrawal availabilitySource 19Source 20 |
| Deposit | Cards and electronic wallets are usually credited promptly; bank transfers take longer | FAQ target: usually instant for cards/wallets and 1–5 business days for bank transfersSource 20 |
| Request withdrawal | Submit through the client portal; normally return funds to the original method | An alternative route needs verification and approvalSource 21 |
| Withdrawal processing | FAQ target of 1–3 business days | Method and verification affect processing; bank/provider receipt can differSource 21 |
| Choose currency | The payment page lists USD, EUR, AED and CNY; trading-account base currency is fixed when opened | A new trading account is required to use another base currencySource 19Source 22 |
Where promotional credit applies, the Terms of Business allow removal at stop-out or company discretion; they do not make that credit unconditionally withdrawable.[11]
Entity scope and client protection
Sections ↑The regulation page advertises Mauritius FSC reference GB19024331 alongside corporate registration references in Saint Lucia and Saint Vincent and the Grenadines. A readable independent FSC firm entry establishing the named legal holder was not obtained in this review. Corporate registration is a different record from financial-services authorisation; a permission claimed for an affiliate does not establish protection for another company’s account.[24]
The Core page promotes negative balance protection, but the general Terms and Conditions require payment of deficit balances. The inspected material does not reconcile which clause applies to which account. That leaves the protection’s contractual scope unresolved; a marketing heading alone does not establish an unconditional loss cap. The terms also allow margin requirements and position limits to change.[2][12]
The account-settings help page describes two-factor authentication and an email password-reset process. It does not specify a withdrawal hold following a reset or explain whether changes of email or payment details trigger a separate security delay. These details matter when an account is being recovered at the same time as a funding request.[22]
Support and complaints
Sections ↑Published CMS Prime contacts
Scope Support and first-stage written complaints
Hours Trading support: Monday–Friday, 07:00–16:00 UTC
The contact page advertises round-the-clock general multilingual support, while separately publishing the narrower trading-support hours shown above. Its complaints procedure requires a written account of the issue, including the client name, account number, affected transactions and incident time. Support is the first stage; a dissatisfied customer can request escalation to Compliance. The stated initial-response target is three business days, with resolution as soon as reasonably practicable rather than a fixed final-response deadline.[25][26]
Social trading, managed accounts and integrations
Sections ↑Additional services and operating boundaries
| Service | Published function | Responsibility or access condition |
|---|---|---|
| Social trading | Copy selected providers with allocation and risk settings; the page says copying can be stopped | The inspected page does not establish whether stopping a subscription closes already copied positions or leaves them openSource 27 |
| PAMM | A manager trades pooled allocations; the published entry condition is USD 25,000 collectively across at least five clients | Investors have read-only access and do not intervene in the manager’s trades; performance fees and proportional profit/loss allocation applySource 28 |
| FIX APIs and bridges | Connectivity for brokers, funds and algorithmic clients, including FX, metals and indices | Institutional connectivity is marketed separately from ordinary retail access; detailed API entitlements and access thresholds are not published on the inspected pageSource 29 |
| Trading Central and Acuity | Technical analysis, research and AI-assisted sentiment or signal tools | Research output supports a customer’s decision; these pages do not grant autonomous account-trading authoritySource 30Source 17 |
PAMM and social-copy arrangements create different forms of control. The former gives the manager trading discretion over the allocation, whereas social-copy marketing emphasises customer-selected providers and risk settings. Neither inspected service page gives a complete schedule for performance-fee crystallisation or the treatment of open positions at withdrawal or disconnection. Those operating terms remain part of the service-specific agreement rather than the ordinary account spread table.[28][27]
