MDM markets MT5 CFDs across forex, commodities, indices, shares and crypto. Its international website excludes residents of Australia, Japan, the United Kingdom and the United States, among other restricted jurisdictions.[2]
Accounts and eligibility
Sections ↑Published live-account matrix

| Standard USC STD | USD 300 as displayed | From 1.7+; USD 0 commission | 1:1000 leverage; 20 lots/orderSource 3 |
| Raw USC ECN | USD 300 as displayed | From 0.0+; USD 3/lot/side | 1:1000 leverage; 20 lots/orderSource 3 |
The risk notice describes an appropriateness assessment during the application. Product suitability, country acceptance and identification checks are therefore separate from meeting the advertised deposit minimum. The platform’s ability to accept an order also depends on available margin and the instrument’s current limits.[14]

Sections ↑Published market coverage

Spreads, commissions and overnight charges
Sections ↑The homepage specifies the Raw forex commission as USD 3 per side per lot: opening and closing therefore total USD 6 for one lot before spread and financing. The Standard headline instead includes a spread markup. A “from zero” quote is a minimum advertising claim, not an observed average execution cost.[1]
The 2025 specification table prints EUR/USD Standard average 1.4 and Raw 0.0+, while the account headline starts Standard at 1.7+. Their statistic labels and units do not support one reconciled current quote.[4][3]
Holding and administrative costs
| Item | Published treatment | What remains account-specific |
|---|---|---|
| Overnight financing | Charged or credited at rollover; rates inside MT5 | Long/short rates vary by symbolSource 5 |
| Weekend accrual | Triple swap on Wednesday or Friday | Applicable day depends on productSource 5 |
| Swap-free service | Administration fee replaces swap; Friday holding can trigger a charge | Fee amounts and eligibility are not given on the pageSource 5 |
| Inactivity | No exact tariff established in reviewed account/cost pages | No zero-fee assumptionSource 5 |
The financing page writes its rollover clock as “22:00 (+1) GMT”. The trading-hours page separately sets chart/server time to GMT+2 or GMT+3 during daylight saving. The first notation is ambiguous; it should not be silently translated into a precise UTC deadline. The platform’s symbol schedule is the operative reference for a position.[5][10]
Trading platforms, margin and order execution
Sections ↑Platform and execution arrangements
| Item | Published functionality | Scope |
|---|---|---|
| MT5 desktop | Windows/Mac; MQL5 Expert Advisors and multicurrency testing | Automation requires the appropriate terminal environmentSource 8 |
| MT5 web/mobile | Browser, iOS and Android access | Order and account access; identical automation capability is not establishedSource 8 |
| Execution policy | Broker may act as agent or market maker; aggregates liquidity-provider prices | ECN/STP wording does not make every trade exchange executedSource 13 |
| Pending orders | Stop/limit distance at least the spread; expiry can be set | Policy treats triggered stop/limit orders as market orders; price is not guaranteedSource 13 |
The execution policy permits slippage and partial fills when liquidity or prices change. Its description of triggered limit orders means a requested level should not be read as a guaranteed worst execution price. The risk notice also explains that gaps can occur while markets are closed and that a stop may fail to contain a loss.[13]
Leverage and liquidation mechanics
| Published condition | Effect | Qualification |
|---|---|---|
| Equity of 100,000 or above / 200,000 or above | Maximum 1:200 / 1:20 | Currency is not labelled and the displayed bands overlapSource 6 |
| Used margin thresholds | Further automatic leverage reductions | First band is printed ambiguously as 50,000–200,000 or aboveSource 6 |
| Equal opposite positions in one instrument | Published hedged-margin requirement zero | Does not remove spread, funding or execution costsSource 6 |
| Equity below 50% of required initial margin | Largest losing position closed first, continuing until sufficient equity | Liquidation can follow leverage changesSource 6 |
Deposits, withdrawals and cash handling
Sections ↑Published funding process
| Stage | Broker statement | Practical limit |
|---|---|---|
| Funding methods | Multiple channels shown; return-to-source examples mention cards, PayPal, Skrill and Neteller | Method availability must be checked in the client portalSource 7 |
| Broker fees | No additional deposit or withdrawal fee on the funding page | Banks/intermediaries may chargeSource 7 |
| Withdrawal destination | Deposit returned to the original method; excess profits to an own-name bank account | Third-party payments are excludedSource 7 |
| Processing window | Page prints 00:00–06:00 AM GMT; earlier requests described as same-day | Its cutoff wording is unclear; receipt is a separate bank/provider stageSource 7 |
Bonus credit is withdrawable only after campaign conditions are fulfilled. Internal transfers cancel active bonuses; removal can reduce margin and cause stop-out. No current campaign schedule was established.[12]
The funding page requires the bank account name to match the trading account and directs withdrawals through the client portal. Its payment icons do not resolve a reliable method-by-method list of supported currencies, limits and arrival times in the accessible text. Those details remain transaction specific rather than a universal funding promise.[7]
Counterparty, client money and loss protection
Sections ↑The linked contract names MM Co Ltd, matched by an active VFSC entry. The website instead uses MDM Ltd. No primary document resolving the names was found; the accepted agreement must identify the counterparty. The register match does not settle that gap.[14][16][11]
Material contractual protections and limits
| Issue | Documented treatment | Implication |
|---|---|---|
| Collateral | General lien/set-off and rights to pledge or lend margin property | Do not assume assets are immune from collateral useSource 12 |
| Negative balances | §13.7 refers to nullifying a below-zero account; §§13.9–13.10 retain deficit repayment | These provisions do not establish an unconditional loss capSource 12 |
| Margin risk | Requirements can increase while positions remain open | Additional funding or liquidation may followSource 14 |
| Compensation / insurance | No named payout scheme or insurance policy established in reviewed documents | Regulatory authorisation is not itself a reimbursement guaranteeSource 16Source 14 |
The website identifies Midas MDM Limited in England and Wales solely as a payment processor. It expressly says that company does not provide trading, investment or financial services. A London payment-processing address therefore does not establish a UK-regulated retail trading account.[2]
Support, records and complaints
Sections ↑Published support routes
Scope Listed under Marketing Department; also used by the complaints policy
The public contacts establish assistance routes, but do not supply a complete emergency dealing procedure. No dedicated outage-order channel, caller-authentication sequence or guaranteed execution confirmation was established. The published weekday help hours should not be read as a promise that ordinary support can close every position during a platform failure.[10][11]
Daily, monthly and annual statements are available; objections are due within two business days. Paper statements may cost extra. Closure requires three days’ notice and cleared positions/liabilities; accrued obligations survive.[12]
Company complaint-handling timetable
| Step | Published timing or route |
|---|---|
| Submit | Email [email protected] to compliance; managing director handles complaints about complianceSource 15 |
| Acknowledge | Within 5 business daysSource 15 |
| Initial outcome | Final or holding response within 2 weeks; delay update at 4 weeksSource 15 |
| Escalate | Policy describes VFSC referral after three unsatisfactory attempts, within six monthsSource 15Source 12 |
Managed accounts, research and automation
Sections ↑MDM advertises MAM for managers handling multiple accounts: bulk orders, partial or complete account closure, Expert Advisors and five allocation methods. The page describes an MT4 arrangement, while the main platform page promotes MT5. Its current platform compatibility must therefore be established for the requested manager setup.[9]
The MAM page does not provide a complete investor agreement showing manager fees, investor withdrawal control, disconnection timing or what happens to existing positions after authority is revoked. Managed-account functionality alone does not determine who bears each operational responsibility. These terms need the actual account mandate.[9]
The website publishes market analysis and describes algorithmic trading through MT5. A separate retail API agreement or AI service with authority to place orders was not established in the reviewed platform and company pages. Expert Advisors are an automation facility, not proof that a broker supplies an AI investment service.[8]
