Seven Capitals: account sizes and the DFSA entity distinction

Seven Capitals publishes Standard, Variable, Pro and ECN accounts, with deposits from $100 to $20,000 and materially different minimum trade sizes. The Mauritius trading brand must be distinguished from the separate DIFC company whose DFSA licence was withdrawn on 22 April 2026.

Accounts, eligibility and retail account conditions

The official schedule is substantially more informative than third-party headline descriptions: Pro requires a one-lot minimum, while the other accounts permit 0.01 lot. All four list a 20-lot maximum per trade. Commission is described only as subject to conditions.[4]

Corporate background, regional availability and open questions

Sections ↑

The brand is a case study in why regulator-name matching must be exact. The DFSA identified four similarly named entities that had never been DFSA-licensed and a separate DIFC company that once held limited permissions. That licence has since been withdrawn.[2][3][1]

The trading-account page’s restriction list expressly includes the UAE, India, the United States and EU member states. Its /en-ae/ URL is therefore not evidence that UAE residents are accepted. The same page names Seven Capitals Foreign Brokerage Limited, Mauritius registration 179225.[4]
