Fxview: global ECN accounts and the separate September 2026 EU fee schedule

The general commission FAQ still quotes USD 1 per USD 100,000 each way, while its worked calculation starts with the traded pair’s first currency and converts into account currency. Neither explanation identifies Raw versus Premium. The cards above therefore preserve their stated units; the account-specific cash commission and notional-currency basis need to be fixed before an all-in comparison.[20][21]

The homepage also advertises a Zero Commission account from 0.6 pips with a USD 50 minimum, and an Islamic account from 0.6 pips.[1]

FC Global’s agreement provides for Islamic-account maintenance charges beyond two days. The linked November 2024 Islamic policy instead names Orivest (Pty) Ltd and uses instrument-specific grace periods. That older policy cannot establish the FC Global account’s current fee schedule. The global agreement also makes negative-balance protection conditional on compliance with its anti-abuse provisions.[7][9]

For accounts without a bonus, the margin FAQ starts liquidation below 50%: MT4/MT5 positions close until margin returns above 50%, while ActTrader targets above 100%. MetaTrader closes the biggest losses first; ActTrader uses the oldest positions first. Bonus accounts have separate stop-out mechanics, so the ordinary account thresholds should not be applied to them automatically.[24][25]

The global financing FAQ applies overnight swaps at server-day rollover, on GMT+3 during daylight saving and GMT+2 otherwise. Triple swaps usually fall on Wednesday for FX and commodities, Thursday for specified pairs including USD/CAD and USD/TRY, and Friday for indices. Swaps affect equity while a position remains open and are booked to balance on closing.[18]

Current long and short rates can be read in MetaTrader’s instrument specifications or ActTrader’s Roll.Buy and Roll.Sell fields. They can be charges or credits. The global inactivity FAQ states there is no inactivity fee; the separate EU company’s dormant-account provisions are set out below.[19][22]

The page advertises no broker funding charge but allows payment-provider costs. Capital generally returns through its original method; profits cannot go to a card. The refund policy permits currency conversion using the company’s internal rate and says no interest is paid on client cash. Its processing target is the same business day, or the next working day for requests received outside working hours.[6][8]

Formal complaints use the website or portal complaint form. FC Global’s agreement targets a response and attempted resolution within 30 days, with written notice if the investigation needs longer. It also refers to South Africa’s FAIS Ombud despite naming a Comoros counterparty and Comoros courts. That contractual reference alone does not establish that the Ombud accepts a claim against this entity; external jurisdiction needs confirmation.[7]

Charlgate’s September 2026 schedule charges USD 1 per USD 100,000 of trade value each way, or USD 2 round turn; crypto costs USD 75 per USD 1 million each way. Both sides are charged when opening. Its example of one EUR/USD lot at 1.1100 has USD 111,000 notional and USD 2.22 round-turn commission. That demonstrates why the charge is not a fixed USD 2 for every one-lot forex trade.[12]

CySEC’s current record confirms Charlgate’s licence and its approved domains. The Cyprus company participates in the Investor Compensation Fund under the applicable eligibility rules. Its 2025 prudential report records EUR 191,658 of capital requirements and a 186.47% own-funds ratio at 31 December 2025. Those figures describe Charlgate’s financial position on that date, not FC Global’s resources or a guarantee against trading losses.[10][11][14]

The international footer also names Finvasia Capital South Africa (PTY) Ltd under FSCA 50410 and a UAE introduction-services company. FC Global excludes EU and UK residents. Group-company licences and compensation arrangements do not transfer between these separate contracting entities.[1]
