Market Equity — Vanuatu FX and multi-asset CFD accounts

The current website identifies two affiliated operators: Market Equity Inc in Vanuatu and Market Equity Capital Ltd in Mauritius. This profile uses the Vanuatu trading-policy route. The footer excludes the United States, Russia, North Korea, Iran and Myanmar; it does not establish that every other country is accepted.[2]

VFSC lists Market Equity Inc as active.[1]

The Mauritius licence, GB24203983, is stated on the broker’s regulatory page, which names Market Equity Capital Limited and company number C222538. An independent current Mauritius register entry was not retrieved, so that permission is recorded as not independently verified. Confirm the legal entity on the agreement presented to you.[3]

The website terms instead exclude US, Belize and EU citizens or residents. These lists should not be silently combined into a promise of eligibility elsewhere. Those terms are website conditions and defer to written agreements; a separately executed account agreement was not obtained during this public-document review.[4]

The common account table gives a 0.01-lot minimum and 50-lot per-ticket limit. Its per-symbol net-open-position entry is 100 without a unit beside that figure. Treat the spread floors as advertised minima, not average EURUSD costs or guaranteed market quotes.[5]

Opening follows a registration and activation-email process, followed by KYC review and compliance approval before trading credentials are issued. The FAQ asks individual applicants for identification and address evidence, but gives different address-document age limits in adjacent answers. Submit the document age requested in the actual onboarding workflow.[9]

The AML policy permits refusal or closure where the client or beneficial owner cannot be verified. It also describes ongoing monitoring and enhanced scrutiny of higher-risk relationships. Approval therefore involves more than receiving a registration email, and an established account can still be asked for updated evidence.[10]

View full spreads & trading costs

The forex page advertises variable-spread currency trading. The commodities offer names gold, oil, natural gas and copper. The specifications provide a more useful contract-level check than general market descriptions: lots and minimum trade sizes differ between currencies, metals, oil and share CFDs.[12][13]

The catalogue contains December 2026 index and oil symbols, plus November 2026 natural gas. Some tick-size cells display zero after formatting, so they should not be used to infer a tradable zero increment. Current terminal specifications remain necessary for order distance, sessions and margin.[11]

There is a material futures distinction: the educational futures page expressly says the platform does not trade futures contracts, despite the dated derivative symbols elsewhere. A retail account should not be described as an exchange-futures or physical-delivery service on that evidence. Establish the contract actually offered before placing a dated product.[14]

The shares page explains share ownership in general terms, whereas the current specification catalogue puts named share symbols in its CFD category. This profile does not establish a separate stock-custody agreement, voting rights, incoming securities transfer service or a transferable portfolio of physical shares.[15][11]

For a trade closed in an instrument currency different from the account currency, the website terms allow a currency-conversion charge of up to 1% when converting profit or loss. This is additional to spread, commission and financing; the USD account label does not remove cross-currency conversion.[4]

These are published point amounts, not dollar charges. Swaps can change daily. Swap-free treatment requires approval and can exclude particular instruments or carry another overnight charge. The swaps page separately says holding charges may activate after more than a month of inactivity, which is distinct from the trading policy’s dormancy fee.[16]

The conditions page’s boundaries overlap, and account-specific ceilings still apply. Confirm how the platform assigns a boundary position and aggregates exposure. It also says trading starts three minutes after market opening and ends three minutes before closing; pending orders may be rejected in the last ten minutes.[17]

The execution policy allows slippage, including on stop and limit orders, and permits rejection when liquidity, volatility or exceptional events prevent execution. Orders should not be assumed filled merely because the requested price appears on a chart. Execution quality and provider access were documented, not tested.[18]

Exceptional conditions can change margin on existing positions, restrict trading and interrupt transfers. The general policy claims priority over the client agreement; the extraordinary-event notice instead gives the agreement priority. EAs and trailing stops rely on the client terminal and remain the client’s responsibility.[19]

Funding must originate from the client; card withdrawals return to the original source. Bank-transfer charges depend on the provider. The page also says transferred funds will not be refunded, without explaining its relationship to ordinary withdrawals. Clarify that clause and any fee where little or no trading occurs before depositing.[21]

A payment method’s lower minimum does not replace the account’s USD 100 opening requirement.[5]

Withdrawals are requested from the selected live account in the client area. The FAQ estimates one to two working days to the bank account; this is not a guaranteed receipt time. Internal transfers use the dashboard’s Transfer function, and a separate wallet supports deposits, withdrawals and transfers.[9]

The August documents each describe deficit compensation capped at USD 1,000 for qualifying market gaps, with abuse, hedging and coordinated-trading exclusions. These are campaign provisions, not a verified unlimited protection for every account. They can be changed or ended without notice, and prohibit certain opposite-account and rapid-turnover patterns.[22][23]

The September document prints the deficit cap as “$1,00”. That ambiguous amount is preserved here rather than corrected to USD 100 or USD 1,000. Its bonus also disappears after a withdrawal or internal transfer. Obtain written clarification of the applicable cap before relying on that promotion’s protection.[24]

Market Equity says client funds are segregated from company money and not used for hedging or investment. Its safety page also mentions professional-indemnity insurance, but supplies no insurer, policy limit, aggregate ceiling, beneficiary definition or claim procedure. This does not establish a personal deposit guarantee.[25]

The general risk statement allows for losses exceeding initial investment. The safety page’s aim of preventing negative balances must therefore be read alongside the risk terms and any separately accepted promotion. A 20% stop-out is a margin control, not proof that a gap cannot leave a deficit.[26][25]

Headquarters

Profiled account entity: Vanuatu

Emergency phone orders require the registered number, account identification and order details. Emergency emails must use the registered address, identify the account and order, and accept market-price execution. Verification can cause refusal. Report trading errors within 24 hours; retain ticket numbers and timestamps.[19]

The complaint form asks for contact and account details, the complaint, supporting documents and previous discussions with support. Retain a completed copy and acknowledgement. Filing a complaint is a separate process from obtaining execution of an emergency order, and does not itself close an open position.[27]

After 90 days without activity, the policy classifies accounts as dormant and charges USD 10 monthly, stopping at zero. Continued inactivity reaches closure after 180 days. Dormant and closed accounts are frozen; reactivation requires KYC, funding and a trade. The document’s sequence should be confirmed before trying to trade a frozen account.[19]

The AML policy retains identification records for at least ten years. That is a regulatory record-retention statement, not a promise of customer portal access for ten years. Request and save the trading records and tax information you need before dormancy or closure removes ordinary access.[10]

The privacy policy provides [email protected] for changes to personal information and describes authentication safeguards. It does not establish a timed recovery procedure or the duration of a withdrawal hold after changing security details. A recovery request should not be treated as completed until the broker confirms the account’s access and payment status.[29]

MT5 is offered for Windows, Mac, iOS, Android and browser access. Mobile setup instructs users to select the Market Equity real or demo server before entering credentials. The platform page advertises one-click trading, hedging and automated strategies; these functions do not establish that every desktop program continues when its device is offline.[20]

The FAQ points clients to MetaQuotes’ VPS through MT5. It does not establish a broker-funded hosting allowance. Check the hosting provider’s fee and the active environment before relying on an automated strategy through a local outage.[9]

The MAM service distributes a manager’s MT5 positions across sub-accounts using multiple allocation methods and supports EAs. The public page does not specify the authority-revocation procedure, handling of existing positions after disconnection or a universal management fee. Establish those terms in the management mandate before allocating capital.[30]

The current website includes ME Guide, an AI support assistant with a handoff to human support. Its reachable public interface documents chat and voice-input functions, not authority to place orders, withdraw money or change risk limits. No conversation or transaction was submitted in this review; service availability and answer quality were not tested.[31]
