Account terms
Sections ↑Highness publishes Basic, Premium and Institutional account tiers under a Saint Vincent company identity. Its Basic page contains a material leverage conflict: the specification table says up to 1:400, while the FAQ on that same page says Basic is limited to 1:100.[1][4][5][6][3]
At a glance01
Account terms
| Item | Published terms and scope |
|---|---|
| Basic tier | Published minimum $20; spread floor 1.2 and zero commission. Basic page also lists MT5, Highness Trader, .01 minimum lot and 10% stop-out.Source 1Source 4 |
| Premium tier | Public material states a US$1,000 entry threshold and a 0.8-pip headline spread; exact symbol and overnight charges are instrument-dependent.Source 1Source 5 |
| Institutional tier | Company advertises a US$50,000 funding threshold and 0.5-pip minimum spread; the name itself does not confer professional client classification or protections.Source 6Source 1 |
| Trade increment | Basic table says up to 1:400, but the FAQ beneath it says Basic 1:100. The live account’s actual ceiling is unresolved by that inconsistent page.Source 1Source 6 |
| Scope mismatch | Brand-wide 470-plus instrument claim and an account comparison mentioning 28 forex pairs use different denominators; do not assert 470 currency pairs.Source 1Source 3 |
Products and platforms

Products and platforms
| Item | Published terms and scope |
|---|---|
| Forex exposure | Major and cross FX CFD prices and a published 28-pair account description should be distinguished from the 470+ cross-asset catalogue.Source 1Source 3Source 7 |
| Indices | US and European benchmark index CFDs appear in the public product family, with margin and trading hours determined per symbol.Source 1Source 8 |
| Commodities and energy | Gold, silver, oil and natural-gas themes appear in product menus; spot and dated products may have different financing and expiration terms.Source 1 |
| Share-linked trading | The website references individual companies or “shares”; it does not establish that an overseas client receives registered physical share ownership.Source 2Source 1 |
| Platform-availability filter | Published MT5 and proprietary Highness Trader references should be checked per tier and region; server login permissions may differ from the complete marketing menu.Source 6Source 3 |
Trading costs

Trading costs
| Item | Published terms and scope |
|---|---|
| Basic minimum spread example | At EUR/USD one standard lot and USD quote, 1.2 pips would imply about US$12 spread cost if that floor were actually filled.Source 4Source 1 |
| Premium indicative spread | 0.8-pip floor implies about US$8 on the same lot/pip-value basis; requires the higher stated funding tier and actual market quote.Source 5Source 1 |
| Institutional indicative spread | 0.5 pip corresponds to about US$5 on one standard lot in the same artificial scenario; commissions and financing must be separately verified.Source 6 |
| Currency and swap fees | FAQ describes Wednesday triple rollover, dividends for some indices and differences between Islamic/swap-free accounts and standard swaps.Source 3 |
| Bank transfer expenses | FAQ references bank settlement windows, but intermediary bank charges and conversion rates are not established as a guaranteed zero.Source 3 |
Trading rules

Trading rules
| Item | Published terms and scope |
|---|---|
| Leverage envelope | Basic has an unresolved 1:400 table / 1:100 FAQ conflict. Institutional marketing states up to 1:400; instrument-specific limits can be lower.Source 1Source 6 |
| Stop-out indication | Both the Basic and Institutional pages publish 10% stop-out. This is an account-page trigger, not a guarantee that a gapping position closes at exactly that level.Source 4Source 6 |
| STP/ECN language | FAQ describes aggregated liquidity and named banks but supplies no independent per-venue fill, cancellation or adverse-slippage audit.Source 3 |
Funding and withdrawals
Sections ↑At a glance05
Funding and withdrawals
| Item | Published terms and scope |
|---|---|
| Minimum live funding | Basic $20, Premium $1,000, Institutional $50,000 are tier labels in public brochures, not identical minimums for every method or region.Source 1Source 4Source 5Source 6 |
| Third-party restrictions | Official FAQ says incoming payments from third parties are not allowed; customers should use verified payment details matching their account identity.Source 3 |
| Bank withdrawal times | FAQ refers to approximately 2–5 business days for international bank processing, subject to bank and compliance stages.Source 3 |
| Swap-free eligibility | Premium/Islamic marketing requires the actual account tariff: “swap free” does not prove all instruments are exempt forever from administrative holding charges.Source 3Source 5 |
Legal entities and protection
Sections ↑At a glance06
Legal entities and protection
| Item | Published terms and scope |
|---|---|
| Business registration | Highness Investment LLC is linked to 1465 LLC 2021 under Saint Vincent and the Grenadines company description; that formation does not itself licence OTC retail CFDs.Source 2Source 3 |
| Mauritius claim | About page asserts Investment Dealer number GB23201935; its connection to an exact Mauritius incorporated issuing entity and live permission was not independently matched here.Source 2 |
| Conflicted FAQ phrase | A FAQ calls “The Act” International Financial Services Commission a regulator linked to the SVG corporate number; exact authority/permission must be resolved independently.Source 3 |
| Segregation claim | Company says client funds are segregated but no named bank statement, third-party custody audit or entity-specific investor-compensation sum was established.Source 2Source 1 |
| Cross-border redress | Offices/branches in Turkey, UAE, Mauritius and elsewhere do not transfer a UK or EU compensation or ombudsman right onto the SVG agreement.Source 2Source 3 |
