Macro Markets: accounts, trading conditions and client protections

Macro Markets publishes three accounts using MT4 and USD. The current account comparison labels all three as market execution, with a 20% stop-out threshold, a free demo and no stated maximum number of open orders. The limits below describe the website’s account data, not a guarantee that every instrument has the same trade size.[3]

The account FAQ describes personal details, identity and address documents followed by an initial deposit. Its beginner example refers to USD 100, while the forex FAQ quotes a USD 50 minimum. Neither resolves a definitive minimum for each account and payment method. The cent account’s lot scale also needs confirmation before comparing its nominal size with a standard lot.[8]

The metals section explicitly describes XAU/USD and XAG/USD CFDs through MT4. Its wider explanatory text mentions other metals, but that educational list is not a verified live instrument catalogue.[13]

The cryptocurrency page is framed as CFD access through ECN and STD accounts. That establishes leveraged price exposure, rather than custody of coins or an exchange wallet. The available symbols, financing, weekend schedule and contract values still need checking in the selected trading account.[6]

The ECN commission is labelled USD 7 per lot without a clear per-side or round-trip basis. No complete instrument-level spread measurement and commission convention were established together, so a like-for-like EUR/USD total cost cannot be calculated. A dash in the CENT and Standard commission row is not independently treated as a numerical zero.[3]

The overnight-interest page says open positions are rolled at 5 p.m. Eastern time, with a credit or debit depending on the position and current rate. It describes Wednesday financing as normally triple to account for the weekend. Rates change; current long and short figures are more useful than a generic claim of low financing.[12]

The addendum makes Standard and ECN swap-free status discretionary. Each position has its own grace period; the examples show roughly one month, but they do not establish a universal fixed period. Approval can convert all live accounts under the same client. Administrative charges survive stop-out, and alleged abuse can lead to withdrawal of the concession, recovered swaps or account closure. The document names Macro Global Markets, without the current Seychelles entity’s full legal name.[16]

The current download feed provides MetaTrader 4 links for Windows, Android and iOS. This is firmer evidence of the offered terminal than the company page’s generic reference to MT5. No broker-specific documentation establishing a client API, its permissions or withdrawal reach was located. Platform availability alone does not establish permission for every automated strategy.[7]

The forex FAQ prohibits exploiting platform delays, simultaneous opposing orders in the same instrument and risk-avoidance hedging across accounts or platforms. It says violations can lead to profit deductions and potentially withholding principal. This is a material trading restriction; a strategy that the terminal can technically submit may still breach the broker’s published rules.[9]

The public market descriptions do not establish pending-order validity, stop distances, liquidation order, guaranteed stops or trailing-stop operation after a terminal disconnects. Those gaps matter when relying on unattended orders.[11]

The share-market FAQ says Macro charges no deposit fee. A complete public payment-method table, withdrawal minimum, processing timetable, return-to-source rule and conversion markup were not established for the current Seychelles route. USD account denomination does not mean every local-currency payment is converted without cost.[15]

The deposit-bonus terms allow proportional removal on withdrawals or internal transfers and removal after ninety days of inactivity. That is a promotional-credit condition, not proof of a general account inactivity fee or closure rule. With a dated expiry already passed, the offer needs written current terms before it is included in expected trading capital.[4]

The Seychelles FSA roster lists Macro Markets Solutions Ltd, trading as Macro Markets, and links macromarkets.sc.[14]

The current website identifies that company under SD232 for securities dealing, OTC derivatives and leveraged spot FX. This profile follows that route. It does not apply permissions of a similarly named Australian, Comoros or earlier Seychelles company to this account.[1]

The company page claims segregated trust accounts with AA-rated banks, liability protection and indemnity insurance. It does not identify a policy limit, insurer, coverage period or compensation trigger. These broad statements therefore cannot establish a particular insolvency payout or a contractual negative-balance limit. A public current client agreement was not located to resolve those boundaries.[2]

The help centre presents chat as its quickest contact channel. It does not state that support accepts binding trading instructions during a platform outage, nor does it give authentication steps or emergency dealing hours. The different published email addresses should be checked against the issue being raised.[10]

The broker’s published platform description does not set out statement exports, tax-document formats, access after account closure, or a security-recovery withdrawal hold. MT4’s familiar interface cannot by itself establish the broker’s retention and recovery arrangements.[7]

Macro advertises charting, performance analysis, economic-calendar and volatility tools. The current public material does not establish an AI service with discretionary authority over an account. A generic advanced-tools description should not be treated as permission to place trades or transfer money.[2]

The public FAQ feed contains a copy-community description and says qualifying copied positions must be held longer than five minutes. It does not establish a current Seychelles subscription agreement, leader remuneration, disconnection behaviour or responsibility for existing positions after copying stops. A complete broker-hosted copy service is therefore not treated as a verified account feature here.[8]

The current site uses both Macro Markets and Macro Global Markets branding. Older promotion PDFs retain the latter name and 2025 dates. These are continuity clues, not evidence that a client contract automatically moved between entities. The site excludes residents of several locations, including the US, Canada, Europe and the UK; acceptance elsewhere remains conditional.[1]
