Accounts & headline costs
Sections ↑easyMarkets provides currency and CFD trading alongside its own web and mobile tools, TradingView and MetaTrader. This reference covers the EU account contracted with Easy Forex Trading Ltd. Its distinguishing feature is the ability to add a guaranteed stop to supported trades through a wider spread, while retaining a choice of platform and account pricing.[4][2][8]

Execution & trading rules
Sections ↑The 7 October 2026 execution policy describes the EU company acting as principal on client trades. It transfers market risk to EF Worldwide Ltd and may also use Broctagon Prime Ltd. For retail accounts, automated stop-out begins at or below 50% margin level and closes the least profitable positions first. Stop-out has priority over an attached stop and occurs at the prevailing price.[7]
The January 2026 client agreement specifically prohibits scalping between 21:00 and 23:59 GMT and trading exclusively during that illiquid period. That restriction is relevant to automated strategies even though the MetaTrader terminals support Expert Advisors.[5]

Deposits, withdrawals & transfers
Sections ↑EU funding methods and published processing estimates
Withdrawal processing is targeted within one business day after the required verification, while receipt can take 3–10 business days. Cards and e-wallets have no published withdrawal minimum; bank-account withdrawals require at least USD 50. Funds return to the original payment route, with amounts above the original deposit sent by an alternative method.[9][5]
Protection & regulation
Sections ↑CySEC records the EU licence as granted on 29 May 2007 and continues to list the company in its investment-firm register. A historical enforcement notice, announced in August 2009, imposed EUR 45,000 in fines for failures including client-account records, client-fund handling, categorisation and transaction records. That dated action concerns the Cyprus company; it is separate from its current register status.[2][11]
Opening an account & support
Sections ↑The EU site lists [email protected] and +357 25 828 899 for customer contact. Its feedback procedure separates a routine query from a formal complaint: unresolved concerns can be sent to [email protected] for the Compliance Officer, or by post to P.O. Box 53742, Limassol 3317, Cyprus. The page promises acknowledgement and investigation but does not itself establish a numerical final-response deadline.[12]
The EU privacy policy allows customers to request their personal-data copy through the EU support address, subject to identity verification. Account closure does not erase regulatory recordkeeping: the policy states a minimum five-year retention period after the relationship ends, potentially extended for a further five years. This is data retention, not a guarantee that an expired trading login stays available.[13]
Company background & evidence
Sections ↑Blue Capital Markets also lists the Australian easyMarkets company and EF Worldwide businesses in Seychelles and the British Virgin Islands. Those companies form part of the group structure; the EU prices and contract rules above belong to Easy Forex Trading Ltd.[3]
