Tradeview Markets combines three FX account models with real shares and exchange futures. EDGE offers lower advertised FX commission than ILC, alongside lower leverage and a narrower platform and instrument list. Stocks and futures have separate deposits, fees and operational rules.[1][20]

Account and service routes at a glance
| Account / service | Contract and customer scope | Platform and principal condition |

| EDGE | Tradeview Ltd. — Global offer; actual entity confirmed at onboarding; retail clients | MT4 / MT5. Restricted .edge instruments and entity eligibility; micro group needs approval.Source 20Source 1 |
| ILC | Tradeview Ltd. — Global offer; actual entity confirmed at onboarding; retail clients | MT4 / MT5 / cTrader. Subject to account eligibility.Source 24Source 1 |

Legal entity and regional scope
Sections ↑Entities & regulation02
What the group disclosures establish
| Entity or issue | Relevant distinction |
|---|---|
| Tradeview Ltd., Cayman | The global website identifies this company and claims CIMA securities-broker permission 585163. A current named register result was unavailable.Source 3 |
| Tradeview Europe Limited, Malta | Separate EU/EEA offering. Company registration C93990 is distinct from its stated MFSA authorisation ID TRDV.Source 9 |
| Cyprus passport record | CySEC currently lists Tradeview Europe as a cross-border firm with MFSA as home supervisor. That entry is not a CySEC-issued home licence.Source 48 |
| TVM Global, Labuan | The group claims a money-broker permission but publishes LL15870 as a registration number; this profile does not convert that corporate number into a licence.Source 3 |
| Peru | The group’s SUNARP company number 13089531 establishes a company-registration claim, not an investment-services authorisation.Source 3 |
| US eligibility | The global site excludes the United States and US persons. Regional acceptance depends on the actual contracting company and local restrictions.Source 1 |
Protections & eligibility03
Protection and contracting boundaries
| Issue | Published position |
|---|---|
| Below-zero balances | The global policy makes clients responsible for debit balances. Occasional discretionary credits or settlements do not establish universal negative-balance protection.Source 4 |
| Client funds | The company advertises segregated funds at major banks. This is a company statement, not an independently audited custody finding.Source 2 |
| Collateral rights | The linked agreement permits pledging, lending or re-using margin/collateral and transfers between the client’s accounts. Segregation wording alone does not explain all asset-use rights.Source 5 |
| Regional protection | Malta services are a separate regional offer. Its permissions and retail safeguards must be assessed under the Europe contract.Source 9 |
Global FX accounts: EDGE, ILC and XLev
Sections ↑Account comparison04
Published FX pricing and opening requirements
| Model | FX charge | Deposit / trade minimum | Leverage ceiling |
|---|---|---|---|
| EDGE | Raw spread from 0; USD 4 per standard lot round turn | Opening deposit not published; 0.10 lot | 1:100Source 24 |
| ILC | Raw spread from 0; USD 5 per standard lot round turn | USD 1,000; 0.10 lot | 1:200Source 24 |
| XLev | Spread includes the trading charge; no separate commission | USD 100; 0.01 lot | 1:400Source 24 |
At a glance05
EDGE account details that change practical access
| Feature | Condition |
|---|---|
| Platforms | MT4 and MT5 only; cTrader is not included.Source 20 |
| Instrument scope | The .edge demo list contains FX and metals. Indices, oil and crypto are absent, despite broader EDGE wording in general market guides.Source 20Source 27 |
| Micro group | Ordinary minimum is 0.10 lot; 0.01-lot access requires permission to a separate, limited-availability group.Source 20 |
| Currencies | USD, EUR or GBP, fixed at creation; another base currency needs another account.Source 20 |
| Another EDGE account | A second is available after the first has been funded.Source 20 |
At a glance06
Moving an existing account to EDGE
| Condition | Operational consequence |
|---|---|
| Existing ILC or XLev | No open trades or pending orders before conversion. Credentials and history remain.Source 21 |
| Introduced account | An account attached to an introducing broker cannot simply be converted; an additional EDGE account is required.Source 21 |
| Automation | EAs must use the correct .edge symbols. An unsuffixed symbol does not establish EDGE pricing.Source 21 |
| Margin | Lower leverage means more margin for the same exposure. Minimum size and instrument access also change.Source 21 |

Market access and the instruments actually held
Sections ↑At a glance08
CFD range
| Market | Exposure and limitations |
|---|---|
| Forex | The guide lists 60 pairs across majors, crosses and exotics. ILC supports MT4, MT5 and cTrader; XLev uses MT4/MT5.Source 23Source 24 |
| Indices | US, European and Asian index CFDs; these do not confer ownership of the constituent shares.Source 26 |
| Metals and energy | Gold, silver, platinum and palladium CFDs; WTI, Brent and natural gas include non-expiring energy products.Source 28 |
| Cryptocurrency CFDs | BTC/USD, ETH/USD, LTC/USD, XRP/USD and BTC/JPY; price exposure, without coin ownership or wallet withdrawals.Source 30 |
| Other group product | The crypto guide separately mentions the YimmiT spot exchange. That is a different product whose terms and contracting entity require their own review.Source 30 |
Pricing & charges09
Contract sizes, adjustments and financing
| Item | Basis |
|---|---|
| FX size | One standard lot is 100,000 units of the base currency; 0.10 lot is 10,000 and 0.01 lot is 1,000.Source 25 |
| Precious-metal size | Gold: 100 ounces per lot; silver: 5,000 ounces per lot. EDGE gold commission is USD 6 per lot round turn.Source 29 |
| Index dividends | Long index-CFD positions may receive an adjustment and shorts may pay one; overnight swap is a separate item.Source 27 |
| Energy rolls | Non-expiring oil/gas CFDs receive a cash adjustment when their reference futures contract changes. It is not delivery of the commodity.Source 29 |
| Crypto financing | Long and short crypto CFD positions can incur overnight financing. The published guide does not give a universal numeric leverage limit.Source 31 |
At a glance10
Margin and trading rules
| Condition | What applies |
|---|---|
| Dynamic FX leverage | Larger exposure receives lower leverage on the portion above each threshold. The guide does not publish the numeric exposure tiers.Source 25 |
| Account position model | MT4/cTrader support hedging; MT5 account creation offers hedging or netting. Automation must match that position model.Source 25 |
| Liquidation | The FX guide describes closing losing positions until margin recovers, without a universal numeric stop-out level.Source 25 |
| Margin changes | The agreement permits immediate changes without notice, including risks to hedged positions when spreads widen.Source 5 |
| Order types | MT5/cTrader Forex-CFD access includes stop-limit orders; the cross-market guide expressly excludes stop-limit orders on MT5 futures.Source 40 |
Trading & service hours11
CFD sessions and rollover
| Market | Published window or adjustment |
|---|---|
| Forex | Daily 00:05–23:59 in the terminal’s server time; weekly opening/closing and holiday changes still apply.Source 19 |
| Forex swap | Long/short rates differ; Wednesday normally carries three days’ swap.Source 19 |
| Metals and energy | The cross-market guide gives metals 01:05–23:59 and energy 01:00–23:59, in server time.Source 40 |
| Crypto CFDs | Weekdays 00:05–23:59 server time, not continuous weekend trading.Source 30 |
Real shares and ETFs
Sections ↑Pricing & charges12
Stock account scope and platform pricing
| Platform | Starting dealing charge | Monthly software | Scope |
|---|---|---|---|
| EQView | USD 0.0025 per US share | Free | Non-US markets have separate brokerage/custody fees.Source 33 |
| MT5 | USD 0.01 per share | Included | All-in rate applies to unleveraged accounts.Source 33 |
| DAS Trader Pro | USD 0.005 per share | USD 180 | Other applicable charges additional.Source 33 |
| Takion | USD 0.005 per share | USD 250 | Full market-data package included.Source 33 |
| Sterling Trader Pro | USD 0.005 per share | USD 250 desktop | Web/mobile: add USD 50 bundled, or USD 70 standalone.Source 33 |
At a glance13
Stock ownership, borrowing and access
| Feature | Important account distinction |
|---|---|
| Ownership | The current stock guide describes real exchange-traded shares and ETFs, not stock CFDs. NYSE/Nasdaq access is distinct from non-US EQView markets.Source 32 |
| Additional EQView products | The guide also lists fractional shares, mutual funds and bonds; specific markets and custody charges vary.Source 32 |
| Opening amount | No account minimum is stated for stock accounts on MT5 or EQView.Source 34 |
| Leverage | DAS/Takion/Sterling up to 6:1; MT5 up to 5:1. Non-US EQView markets have no leverage. The MT5 all-in tariff excludes leveraged accounts.Source 34 |
| Short selling | Hard-to-borrow names require locates and can incur borrow charges. Availability is security-specific.Source 34 |
| Other charges | Pass-through regulatory charges, data not bundled with software, margin interest and locates can add to dealing costs.Source 33 |
Trading & service hours14
Stock cash, sessions and tax documentation
| Item | Published treatment |
|---|---|
| US regular session | 09:30–16:00 Eastern Time, weekdays.Source 35 |
| Extended session | 04:00–09:30 and 16:00–20:00 Eastern Time; selected EQView US stocks and supported routing only.Source 35 |
| Sale proceeds | US shares settle T+1; cash becomes withdrawable after settlement.Source 35 |
| Dividends and corporate actions | Credited or applied to real-share holdings; US withholding depends on the submitted tax information.Source 35 |
| Non-US holder | W-8BEN is required before US share trading. It is separate from ordinary identity verification.Source 34 |
Exchange futures and options
Sections ↑At a glance15
Futures accounts and market access
| Item | Published service |
|---|---|
| Range | Micro, mini and standard exchange contracts; the guide claims 155 contracts on 13 exchanges across eight product groups.Source 36 |
| Platforms and minimums | MT5: USD 500; CQG Desktop or MultiCharts: USD 1,000. Subscribe to the relevant exchange data.Source 36 |
| Options on futures | CQG Desktop and MultiCharts with a qualifying futures account; MT5 does not carry options.Source 39 |
| Stock options | Takion and eligible stock accounts; separate option permissions, exercise, assignment and expiry rules apply.Source 39 |
Pricing & charges16
Futures cost components
| Charge | Standard contract | Micro contract |
|---|---|---|
| Commission, per contract per side | From USD 0.99 | From USD 0.49Source 37 |
| Routing, per contract per side | USD 0.25 | USD 0.25Source 37 |
| Clearing, per contract per side | USD 0.80 | USD 0.45Source 37 |
| One round turn at those rates | USD 4.08 before exchange/data fees | USD 2.38 before exchange/data feesSource 37 |
| Other fees | Exchange fee and market-data subscription vary | CQG Desktop software: USD 25 monthlySource 37 |
At a glance17
Futures margin and expiry
| Rule | Consequence |
|---|---|
| Initial versus maintenance | Initial margin opens an overnight position; maintenance is the continuing requirement. Both are contract-specific.Source 38 |
| Intraday concession | A lower day margin applies only where offered and within the relevant session; it is not an overnight funding amount.Source 38 |
| Falling equity | The guide calls for adding funds or reducing positions below maintenance; continued deterioration can trigger liquidation.Source 38 |
| Expiring futures | The agreement says futures positions are closed at expiry rather than automatically rolled; any replacement trade is separate.Source 5 |
Opening, funding and keeping an account
Sections ↑At a glance18
Application and security
| Task | Process |
|---|---|
| Registration | Create the Cabinet profile, verify email, choose live or demo, and complete the relevant account application.Source 12 |
| Legal account category | Individual, joint or corporate where available for the country and entity; this choice is separate from the trading platform or pricing group.Source 12 |
| KYC | Identity and proof of residence are separate verification requests. The Cabinet shows Pending, Processing, Completed and Expired statuses.Source 13 |
| Document renewal | Rejected or expired evidence needs replacement; an uploaded file does not by itself mean the account is approved.Source 13 |
| Login protection | Cabinet two-factor authentication uses an authenticator app and six-digit code. Cabinet access is separate from platform trading credentials.Source 14 |
At a glance19
Deposit routes and limits
| Method | Practical rule |
|---|---|
| Availability | Methods, fees, currencies and limits depend on entity, location and account; the selected Cabinet route displays the applicable conditions.Source 41 |
| Cards and wallets | Follow the supported provider flow; under-review status differs from a completed credit.Source 42 |
| Cryptocurrency | Use the asset, network and deposit address supplied for that particular request. A blockchain transfer is not an internal account transfer.Source 43 |
| Bank transfer | Use fresh bank instructions for the selected account/currency and the required payment reference.Source 44 |
| Internal transfers | Between supported accounts under the same Cabinet user; no third-party beneficiary or external broker transfer.Source 46 |
At a glance20
Withdrawing money
| Condition | Published treatment |
|---|---|
| Ownership | Original and destination accounts must have the same holder as the trading account.Source 7 |
| Return order | FIFO by original funding source; card refunds cannot exceed the amount deposited through that card.Source 7 |
| Profits | The withdrawal policy directs excess card-funded profits to a same-name bank account. The refund policy more broadly refers to other approved providers.Source 7Source 8 |
| Currency | Conversion differences are borne by the client; refunds ordinarily use the original deposit currency.Source 8 |
| Processing | Available cash, verification and any open requests affect approval. “Processed” does not mean the receiving provider has delivered funds. No universal arrival promise is published in the guide.Source 45 |
Pricing & charges21
Charges and restrictions outside the spread
| Trigger | Consequence |
|---|---|
| Inactivity | The currently linked client agreement charges USD 50 monthly after six months of inactivity.Source 5 |
| Interest-free account | The agreement permits discretionary interest-free arrangements but allows financing charges to resume without prior notice.Source 5 |
| Older website terms | The December 2023 website terms instead describe the lesser of USD 50 and remaining balance, without a monthly frequency. The linked client agreement is the more specific account document.Source 6 |
| Inactive account controls | After at least 180 days without activity across accounts, trading and funding can be disabled pending reactivation and updated identification.Source 5 |
| Dormancy | The agreement permits archiving accounts not reactivated for one year and retaining remaining dormant funds; resolve closure and withdrawal while the account is accessible.Source 5 |
Copying, managed accounts and client control
Sections ↑At a glance22
Three distinct services
| Service | Platform | How it works |
|---|---|---|
| CommuniTraders | MT4 and MT5, demo/live | Follower copies a provider’s trading at the configured size.Source 15 |
| MultiMAM | MT4/MT5 FX; separate stock/futures arrangements | A manager allocates master-account trading under an agreed limited power of attorney.Source 15 |
| cTrader Copy | cTrader | Select a strategy within the cTrader Copy service; separate provider history and terms.Source 15 |
At a glance23
CommuniTraders sizing and loss controls
| Setting | Operational meaning |
|---|---|
| Fixed lots | Every copied trade uses the specified fixed size, irrespective of the provider’s size.Source 17 |
| Proportional | Provider size × follower/provider equity ratio × risk multiplier; account-currency conversion may apply.Source 17 |
| Small accounts | The minimum can raise a calculated small copy to 0.10 lot on ordinary ILC/EDGE accounts; XLev permits 0.01 lot.Source 17 |
| Drawdown threshold | An account value, not a percentage. Equity protection includes floating results; balance protection reacts to realised results.Source 17 |
| Provider fee | The settings reference permits 0%–50% of generated profit; settled monthly. This is a client service fee, not an introducing commission.Source 17 |
At a glance24
Copying limitations
| Issue | Consequence |
|---|---|
| Provider count | One provider per follower account. A different provider requires unfollowing the existing one.Source 16 |
| Pause versus exit | Copy status pauses new copies; unfollow ends the subscription. Trades are managed in MetaTrader, not in CommuniTraders.Source 16 |
| Results diverge | Entry prices, account groups, commission, currency and copy sizes can differ from the provider’s.Source 16 |
| After protection triggers | A follower under equity protection can enter read-only mode and need support review; gaps and delays can change the actual exit value.Source 17 |
At a glance25
MultiMAM authority, fees and eligibility
| Item | Published condition |
|---|---|
| Client control | Funds remain in the client’s account; the signed LPOA defines manager authority. Revocation requires processing and does not undo existing trades.Source 18 |
| Allocations | Equity or balance allocate positions; Cash Equity/Cash Balance distribute realised master results without a client-side position to close independently.Source 18 |
| Fees | Management and performance terms are agreed in the LPOA; monthly calculation with a high-water mark by default, unless otherwise agreed.Source 18 |
| Eligibility conflict | The current MAM landing page says three funded clients; the guide requires more than three. Neither supports assuming that three always qualifies.Source 11Source 18 |
| Manager legal route | The MAM page says managers onboard through the Peru company. That statement does not make Peru incorporation a securities licence.Source 11 |
| EDGE allocations | The EDGE guide requires master and sub-accounts on EDGE and minimum-size compliance; no minimum assets-under-management amount is stated.Source 22 |
Support and complaints
Sections ↑At a glance26
Service contacts and evidence
| Route | Published process |
|---|---|
| General help | [email protected]; the company advertises 24/5 account-manager support.Source 4Source 2 |
| Formal complaint | [email protected] with account ID, registered email and any case number. The policy promises a response within two business days, not necessarily final resolution.Source 4 |
| Funding enquiry | Provide account, date, amount, method and request status. The support guide discourages sharing passwords, full card data or private keys.Source 47 |
