AMarkets is an offshore CFD & forex brokerage company registered in the Cook Islands, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, and Mwali in the Comoros. The broker is not regulated by any reputable onshore government agencies, but has instead chosen to join the private dispute resolution organization known as The Financial Commission (FinaCom), along with many other unregulated offshore forex brokers.
One positive consequence of not being regulated by any government agency is that the broker’s sign-up process is quite simple, without the need to submit and verify a lot of documents. Be aware, however, that the issue of document verification often arises when it’s time to withdraw money from offshore brokers. It is therefore advisable to ensure you have all relevant documents in order before depositing any funds into your trading account at AMarkets, or any other offshore broker for that matter.
Another typical benefit of trading with forex brokers based in offshore jurisdictions like the Cook Islands or Saint Vincent and the Grenadines is that the leverage available on trading instruments is usually quite high.
In the case of AMarkets, leverage is capped at 1:3,000, which is far more than what is available in the EU, North America, and Australia/New Zealand. In fact, it is even higher than the 1:400-1:500 leverage that is common with many brokers in other offshore jurisdictions.
The trading assets that are available from AMarkets includes such things as forex, stock CFDs, commodities, cryptocurrencies, bonds, and indices. Perhaps most notable here is the pretty large selection of more than 400 individual stock CFDs to choose from, based on US and various European companies.
When it comes to trading instruments, we also appreciate the fact that spreads on most instruments are in fact pretty low. This is particularly true for major forex pairs like the EUR/USD and USD/JPY, but also for a lot of the single stock CFDs that are offered through this broker. As an example, the beginner-friendly FIXED account offers spreads from 3 pips and no commissions, while the ECN account offers spreads from 0 pips with a commission of $2.5 per lot per side.
All instruments that are offered by AMarkets can be traded on either the MetaTrader 4 or 5 (MT4/MT5), which are the two only desktop trading platforms this broker supports. Although this may seem like a limitation for some traders, the MT4 & 5 are still the most popular trading platforms in the retail trading segment, with a huge user base spread across the world.
Both trading platforms also give access to a vast library of automated trading strategies (“Expert Advisors”) and technical trading indicators via a built-in marketplace.
Trading accounts with AMarkets can be funded through all the usual methods like major payment cards and the popular e-wallets ADVcash, PerfectMoney, and TopChange. In addition, this broker also accepts deposits via a range of cryptocurrencies, including Tether (USDT), USD Coin (USDC), Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH) and others.
Unlike certain other brokers, AMarkets does not charge any fees for accepting deposits via any of these payment methods (other than the fees charged by the payment provider).
Contacting customer support at AMarkets should also be a hassle-free experience in most cases. The broker has provided contact information for Telegram, in addition to a regular web-based live chat, email, and a UK phone number. The broker also assures clients that their support line is open 24/7, which is something we appreciate.
In conclusion, we consider AMarkets to be a decent choice for people who feel comfortable trading with forex brokers based offshore. Given the fact that the broker is a member of FinaCom, it is in our view a better choice than many other offshore forex & CFD brokers out there that have no system for dispute resolution whatsoever.
I started trading with AMarkets as a beginner, and I really liked that they offer high-quality educational materials. Everything is clear, and the demo account helped me understand things without any risks. Now I trade actively and am happy with the results.
AMarkets impresses with its high level of service and a wide selection of trading assets. I'm very pleased with the order execution speed – trades are processed instantly, which is especially important in volatile conditions. Low spreads help save on costs, and the quality analytics assist in making well-informed decisions. I also want to highlight the convenient copy-trading service – an excellent opportunity for passive income.
I started working with Amarkets relatively recently, about six months ago, but I already managed to evaluate all the advantages of this company. One of the main advantages is the convenience and functionality of the trading platform. There are all the necessary tools for analysis and trade, as well as the ability to configure the interface for your needs.
For clarity, AMarkets used to accept clients from Europe, but not anymore. That's why below you can find reviews from EU citizens.
Their platform offers a great selection of tools for trading. In addition, their customer service is top notch - always quick to answer my questions. Very professional support.
I have been using Amarkets for over a year now and am very happy with my choice. At first it was a little difficult to understand all the features and functionality, but with the help of a convenient platform and responsive support, I quickly got the hang of it.
I can't say anything negative about working with this company. The results of the work suit me quite well, and there were no problems with the withdrawal. And there are interesting promotions.
AMarkets provides excellent conditions, so if you have a good trading system, you can make a profit. Support responds quickly to any question.
About trading, everything is on the level, the speed of execution depends on the type of account chosen, I recommend ECN with a spread of 0 pips, though at least for an account of $200.
