Selecting and opening the account
| Measure | Value | Context |
|---|---|---|
| Minimum deposit | Current tier thresholds were not established. Bonus entry deposits are separate. | Source 2 |
| General limits | Advertised leverage up to 1:1,000; instrument and risk limits apply. | Source 2 |
| Proof of address | The FAQ requests a utility bill or bank statement dated within six months; it excludes online statements and mobile-phone bills. Confirm document acceptability before funding. | Source 3 |
| Verification | Individuals over 18; documents require approval. | Source 13 |
| Cent sizing | USD 100 becomes 10,000 US cents. This specifies balance denomination, not underlying lot size. | Source 2 |
| Additional accounts | The portal supports new accounts and internal transfers. Leverage changes require no open positions on the affected account. | Source 3 |
Markets and trading platforms
Sections ↑Product range
| Market | Representative exposure | Trading structure |
|---|---|---|
| Forex | EUR/USD, GBP/USD, USD/JPY; over 80 pairs advertised | Leveraged OTC currency CFDsSource 6 |
| Metals | Gold, silver, palladium and platinum | Precious-metal CFDsSource 7 |
| Indices | FTSE 100, DAX and Australia 200 examples | Index CFDsSource 8 |
| Commodities | Crude oil and the current commodity symbol list | Commodity CFDs; individual contract terms applySource 9 |

| Shares | Apple, Amazon, Tesla, Microsoft and other named companies | Share CFDs without ownership or shareholder voting rightsSource 11 |
Platforms, sizing and trading clock
| Measure | Value | Context |
|---|---|---|
| MetaTrader 4 | Windows, macOS, Android and iOS downloads are linked, alongside browser-based MT4 WebTrader. Desktop automation and trailing-stop features are supported. | Source 12 |
| Contract size | Minimum order: 0.01 lots. Underlying units depend on the symbol. | Source 3 |
| Forex hours | The FX page states Monday–Friday 00:00–24:00 server time, GMT+2 in winter and GMT+3 in summer. Named exotic pairs have narrower sessions. | Source 6 |
| Futures expiry | Use each CFD’s expiry and rollover details. The futures market page’s general description does not establish physical delivery or clearing-house membership for the customer. | Source 10 |
Spreads, financing and non-trading fees
Sections ↑Price conditions
| Measure | Value | Context |
|---|---|---|
| Fixed-spread exception | The spreads page says fixed spreads become floating between 23:00 and 02:00 GMT+2. Fixed should not be understood as an unchanged price throughout the trading day. | Source 4 |
| Zero Fixed exception | The separate comparison page quotes three pips on major pairs during 23:00–02:00 GMT+2 for Zero Fixed. It does not clearly establish that this is the same product as the current VIP Zero Spread account. | Source 5 |
| FX rollover | The FX page specifies 23:59 server time, Wednesday-to-Thursday triple swap and conversion into the account currency. Rates depend on the current symbol and direction. | Source 6 |
| Share CFDs | The share page advertises zero MT4 commission; spreads, financing and long/short dividend adjustments can still affect the result. | Source 11 |
Swap-free periods in the account conditions
| Instrument category | Published concession | After the concession |
|---|---|---|
| Major forex | 30 calendar days | Applicable swap or storage-equivalent chargeSource 2 |
| Other eligible instruments | 10 calendar days | Applicable swap or storage-equivalent chargeSource 2 |

| Chargeback administration | EUR 60Source 13 |
Execution, leverage and close-out rules
Sections ↑Contractual margin close-out thresholds
Margin and order handling
| Measure | Value | Context |
|---|---|---|
| Generic FAQ limitation | The FAQ describes a 20% stop-out. The newer contract separately specifies STP thresholds, so the FAQ figure is not a universal account rule. | Source 3 |
| New-position event limits | Friday 21:00–24:00 server time, weekends and selected major news: FX maximum 1:100; gold margin 8× standard; other instruments 4×. | Source 13 |
| Other risk limits | The published risk table gives reduced major/minor FX leverage of 1:200 or 1:100, stock CFDs 1:4 and index CFDs 1:50. Reductions apply to new orders; listed volume caps can also shrink. | Source 20 |
| Volume example | Major FX standard net/gross limits are 200/400 lots, reduced to 100/200 at the stated risk levels. This is a position-limit schedule, not a deposit or guarantee of order acceptance. | Source 20 |
| Execution venue | The order policy describes OTC execution with Tradeco as principal and sole execution venue. Customer orders do not become direct exchange orders merely because the platform displays a futures symbol. | Source 15 |
| Slippage and stops | The policy permits market-price execution and slippage. A normal stop is not a guaranteed-price order. | Source 15 |
| Strategy restrictions | Price-latency arbitrage and specified spot/futures carry hedges permit trade/profit reversal. | Source 13 |
Deposits, withdrawals and payment conditions
Sections ↑Public payment information
| Item | Published condition |
|---|---|
| Available methods | The portal supplies the client’s country-specific options and deposit currenciesSource 3 |
| Deposit timing | Up to 24 hours by method; bank wires up to three working daysSource 3 |
| Deposit charges | No broker deposit fee; bank/payment-provider fees may applySource 3 |

Withdrawal and bonus effects
| Measure | Value | Context |
|---|---|---|
| Destination | Original deposits normally return to source; excess funds may use another company-approved method. | Source 13 |
| Profit-route discrepancy | FAQ: bank-wire profits only. Contract: approved alternatives permitted. Confirm availability. | Source 3Source 13 |
| Open positions | The requested withdrawal plus payment charges must fit within free margin. | Source 3 |
| Bonus removal | Programme terms can remove the whole trading bonus after withdrawal or internal transfer. Do not assume the FAQ’s proportional-removal description controls every promotion. | Source 17Source 18Source 19 |
| Loss-sharing calculation | The Supercharger and Takeoff examples allocate remaining funds between client cash and bonus. The withdrawable amount can be lower than the displayed account balance. | Source 17Source 18 |
| Welcome calculation | The Welcome terms subtract remaining bonus when calculating withdrawal eligibility. A depleted cash portion can leave no withdrawable amount. | Source 19 |

| T4Trade / UK FCA | Current warning, updated 3 August 2026 | UK authorisation absent; no FOS or FSCS protection under the warningSource 25 |
| Damadah Holding Limited / Cyprus | Website identifies a payment facilitator | Payment role does not confer Cyprus investment-firm authorisation on this accountSource 1 |
Protection and its limits
| Measure | Value | Context |
|---|---|---|
| Negative balance | The Risk Disclosure promises protection per trading account. It is a contractual company protection, not deposit insurance or a guarantee that open-position losses stop at a chosen price. | Source 14 |
| Segregation | The policy describes separate client-money arrangements. It also permits third-party omnibus holdings and warns that insolvency can leave clients without a claim to a specific segregated sum. | Source 14 |
| Where money is held | Client funds can be held inside or outside Seychelles. Different local legal rights and third-party solvency risks can apply. | Source 14 |
| Private insurance | No current private insurance certificate, insurer, policy period or per-client/aggregate compensation limit was established from the reviewed protection and legal disclosures. | Source 24Source 14 |
| Address discrepancy | The current FSA entry lists an Ile du Port office; the broker footer lists Eden Plaza, Eden Island. Use the regulator’s current record and confirm the company’s correspondence address. | Source 26Source 1 |

| Escalation | An unsatisfied client can approach the Seychelles FSA with the complaint and final response. The policy asks clients to answer company responses within ten days or the complaint may be treated as resolved. | Source 16 |
| Account security | The security page identifies official t4trade.com email channels and states that the company will not request the client’s password. Verify unsolicited contacts independently. | Source 24 |
