TabTrade: five MT5 accounts, entity-specific markets and funding rules

TabTrade combines spread-only, commission, cent and swap-free pricing with MT5 automation. Account choice changes trade sizing and holding charges; the contracting entity also determines whether cryptocurrency CFDs are available.

By FXBrokers ResearchOperating status: ActiveSources checked Published
Profile scope

Current international website; Mauritius contractual rules are identified separately from the Saint Lucia route. Checked 20 October 2026. TabTrade Ltd: Company 2025-00919. Incorporation is not an investment-dealer permission. Insert Money Ltd: HE487167; administrative/payment support. The website disclaims regulated Cyprus/EU financial, investment or payment services.

  • Cent balances use US cents and one-hundredth of ordinary lot exposure.
  • Swap-free positions incur a service charge after each seven-calendar-day interval.
  • Mauritius clients cannot access the cryptocurrency instruments marked for Saint Lucia.

Accounts and headline costs

Sections ↑

TabTrade offers five live MT5 account arrangements. Standard incorporates commission into its spread; Edge separates raw pricing from a per-lot charge; VIP negotiates pricing. Cent changes the denomination and contract exposure, while Swap-Free changes overnight charging. A zero opening minimum does not remove the margin needed for a trade.[2]

The website supplies separate Mauritius and Saint Lucia agreements. Residence and onboarding determine the counterparty; this profile labels Mauritius contract terms explicitly. Read the assigned document set before accepting an account, because a common brand does not make the two routes interchangeable.[41]

Cent displays USD 10 as 1,000 USC. One Cent lot has the exposure of 0.01 ordinary lot; the larger displayed balance does not create extra capital. Other CFD classes are excluded from Cent. The Swap-Free account is intended for religious requirements in supported regions; creating it applies swap-free status to the profile and accounts without separate approval.[4][5]

Transaction, holding and account charges

Sections ↑

For an illustrative one-lot EUR/USD round trip, the published April Edge spread of 0.03 pips × USD 10 per pip is USD 0.30. Adding USD 7 commission gives USD 7.30. At Standard’s one-pip advertised minimum, the spread component is USD 10. These use different spread bases, so they do not predict which account is cheaper on a particular trade. Financing, slippage and conversion are excluded.[9][8]

Execution, margin and sessions

Sections ↑

The Mauritius execution policy allows the company to be the OTC execution venue even when external firms supply prices, liquidity or hedges. Market orders can fill at the next obtainable price; requested prices and stops are not guaranteed. Orders can be partially filled, rejected, cancelled or subject to fill-or-kill conditions. Automation permission remains subject to market-integrity and platform-capacity controls.[44]

Margin controls and session clock

Margin controls and session clock
RuleScope
Margin call / stop-outStandard and Edge: 100% / 50% of used margin. The help table does not establish identical thresholds for the other accounts.Source 21
Leverage ceilingUp to 1:1000 on selected accounts/products. Equity, instrument, region, open exposure and risk settings can reduce it. Changes are requested through the portal.Source 22
FX and metalsFX generally Sunday 17:00–Friday 17:00 New York; metals broadly 23 hours on weekdays. Individual symbols and holidays override general hours.Source 23
Platform clockUTC+3 during New York daylight saving; UTC+2 otherwise. The daily close follows 17:00 New York.Source 23

Planned maintenance is announced through the portal, email and platform; weekends are the usual window, but urgent repairs can interrupt other periods. The inspected maintenance guidance does not establish a telephone order-taking service. Use official support to resolve an uncertain order status; an unanswered message is not confirmation of execution.[24]

The landing schedule lists a shorter one-business-day card/wallet withdrawal figure; the detailed withdrawal article gives one to three days for cards and Apple/Google Pay. The broader range is used above. Approval, bank settlement and additional checks are distinct stages.[27]

No internal funding fee is the current published policy. External banks, processors, blockchain networks and conversion providers can charge. Payments must be in the client’s legal name. Card-funded capital normally returns to that card up to the deposit amount; excess profits may use another verified same-name method.[28]

With positions open, the withdrawal guide says clients can usually request up to 90% of free margin. Larger or unusual transactions may need additional KYC/source-of-funds checks.[26]

Mauritius terms permit extra payment verification, return-to-source routing and charges where trading activity is insufficient. Margin-allocated funds must first become available wallet funds. Currency conversion may include a fee embedded in the rate.[43]

Protections and their limits

Protections and their limits
AreaCurrent documented position
Client moneyThe broker describes separate client-bank accounts, daily balance reconciliation and independent review. These are company disclosures, not an audited solvency opinion.Source 30
Negative balancesTabTrade expressly says automatic negative-balance protection is unavailable. A price gap can leave a repayable deficit despite margin call and stop-out controls.Source 29
Account securityThe site describes encrypted sensitive data, multi-factor authentication and continuous unusual-activity monitoring. Public recovery timing and post-reset withdrawal holds are not specified.Source 31

Account opening, records and support

Sections ↑

Individual verification normally requires unexpired government photo ID and address evidence bearing the same legal name. Address documents usually must be within six months; mobile-phone bills and PO boxes are generally excluded. Additional checks depend on jurisdiction and transaction risk, and manual review can require further documents.[32]

The portal exposes balances, transaction history and linked accounts. The execution policy provides electronic trade confirmations and account information; clients must report discrepancies promptly. A broker-specific downloadable tax certificate or export-format schedule was not established.[20][44]

Scope Business enquiries

For Mauritius complaints, provide the account and transaction references, chronology, supporting evidence and requested remedy. The 4 September policy targets acknowledgement within five working days, a full response within 21 working days and resolution within 30 working days; delays should be explained. Copy-service issues may need referral to the independent provider.[47]

For Global Business complaints, FSC directs clients to its online form, outside the Ombudsperson’s remit.[46]

Copying, hosting and optional benefits

Sections ↑

TabTrade Social uses independent Pelican functionality to transmit selected strategy orders; TabTrade executes them in the brokerage account. Clients choose providers, allocations and whether to follow. Web, iOS and Android access are listed; the Windows app is described as forthcoming. Provider regulation does not extend UK protection to the TabTrade trading contract.[34]

The setup guide uses a dedicated copier account and exposes trade sizing, provider performance fees and a choice to copy already-open trades. Minimum-volume rounding can alter copied exposure. Confirm the selected provider’s fee and settings before activation.[35]

Ending copy authority does not undo instructions already received or executed. The Mauritius agreement leaves monitoring and exposure management with the client; it does not establish automatic closure of remaining copied positions.[43]

Optional services and conditions

Optional services and conditions
ServiceEligibility, price and operational limit
TabTrade+Eligible Edge accounts only. USD 59 monthly or USD 588 annually; founding annual plan USD 348 until 31 December 2026. Seven-day trial excludes complimentary VPS. Cancellation keeps benefits to period-end.Source 36
Subscription benefitsUSD 1 cashback per eligible lot, optional VPS and priority help. Region and eligible-volume conditions apply; this is separate from the ordinary account tariff.Source 36
VPSPortal-requested third-party hosting or MT5 virtual hosting can keep EAs running with the home computer off. Provider, location and account eligibility must be established.Source 38
FIXApply through a VIP account manager; approval precedes credentials, technical documents, sandbox testing and live execution. The public page does not establish withdrawal permissions or a universal API tariff.Source 39

TradePoints are non-cash, non-transferable reward points. The campaign runs 14 April–31 December 2026: first-deposit points require five eligible lots within 30 days; ongoing rewards use completed FX/metals trades after linking. Points expire after 12 months without earning or redeeming. They cannot be withdrawn from the trading account.[37]

The separate Mauritius promotion rules treat bonus amounts as trading credit unless campaign terms expressly differ. Withdrawal before qualifying turnover can remove credit and attributed profits. The default validity is 30 calendar days, with campaign-specific exceptions. Credit is not client money; removal can reduce trading equity, so a bonus balance must not be read as available cash.[45]

The international site excludes Australia, New Zealand, the US, Iran, North Korea, Russia, Belarus and Myanmar, alongside applicable sanctions restrictions. A non-local office or payment provider does not change the entity assigned during onboarding.[40]

Company background and evidence

Sections ↑

The company announced its Mauritius Investment Dealer licence on 30 July 2026, saying it was issued on 2 July. The announcement does not establish an automatic transfer of existing Saint Lucia accounts, balances or positions to Mauritius. The agreement shown during onboarding remains the relevant counterparty evidence.[42]

The structured inventory distinguishes the Mauritius dealer, Saint Lucia company and Cyprus support company. Licence particulars are broker-stated: the FSC public-register route did not return an inspectable named firm record during this review. Public sources were checked on 20 October 2026; no account, support-speed, execution or withdrawal test was performed.[40]
