Eightcap

Regulation

The group holds six licences: ASIC, FCA, CySEC, SCB Bahamas, FSA Seychelles and FSC Mauritius. Clients from Kazakhstan are onboarded through Eightcap International Ltd under FSA Seychelles SD100, where the trading account is held. The client agreement is governed by the laws of the Seychelles. Complaints are handled through the broker's internal procedure and can be referred to the Seychelles Financial Services Authority.

Platforms and instruments

The broker lists more than 800 CFD instruments across forex, indices, commodities, shares, ETFs and cryptocurrencies. Trading conditions vary by platform, so the available account type and leverage depend on the platform chosen. Copy trading is offered through a separate Eightcap Copy Trading mobile app.

Account types

• Standard: EUR/USD spread from 1.0 pips, no commission, minimum deposit $100
• Raw: EUR/USD spread from 0.0 pips, commission of $7 per lot round turn ($3.50 per side), minimum deposit $100

The Raw account is available on MetaTrader 4, MetaTrader 5 and TradeLocker; TradingView offers the Standard account only. The minimum trade size is 0.01 lots on both accounts, with a margin call at 80% and a stop-out at 50%. Maximum leverage on the FSA Seychelles entity is 1:500; the selectable leverage ladder starts at 1:10 on MetaTrader 4 and MetaTrader 5, and at 1:30 on TradingView and TradeLocker. Negative balance protection applies: if the account goes negative, the broker waives the deficit and returns the balance to zero. Accounts can be opened in AUD, CAD, EUR, GBP, NZD, SGD and USD; there is no tenge (KZT) account. A swap-free option is not offered.
