Trading With Us

Yes, Admiral Markets is a regulated broker which is authorised by independent financial regulators across various jurisdictions: the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) in the UK, the Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission (CySEC), and the Financial Services Authority (FSA) in Seychelles. 

A regulated broker is supervised by a financial authority that enforces rules on client protection, reporting, segregating client funds, transparency, and business conduct. On the flipside, an unregulated broker is not subject to such oversight. 

Regulation significantly reduces the risk of fraud and misuse of client funds. 

The protections you have as a client depend on the specific Admiral Markets entity you trade with. But, in general, regulated brokers like Admiral Markets provide safeguards like segregated client accounts, negative balance protection, and in some cases investor compensation schemes. For more details, you can check our Financial Security Page.  

Negative balance protection prevents a trading account from going below zero, so clients cannot owe more than the funds they have deposited. It is typically offered by regulated brokers. However, the availability and terms of this protection may vary depending on the broker, regulator, and client classification. 

Client funds are held in segregated accounts at top-tier banks, separate from company funds. Combined with regulatory oversight and independent audits, this means your money is identifiable and protected even in extreme scenarios. 

As with any company, there is a possibility that a broker could become insolvent. Choosing a regulated broker with segregated client funds and compensation schemes provides additional protection if financial difficulties occur. 

There are a number of safeguards in place designed to protect client funds in the event of insolvency. Client money is kept in segregated accounts, separate from the company’s funds. Depending on which entity you trade with, your funds may also be protected by regulatory safeguards and insurance, according to the policy terms. These protections cover eligible cash and securities, not trading losses, ensuring your funds remain safeguarded.  For more details, you can check our Financial Security Page. 

A Forex broker is an intermediary between you and the interbank market (networks of banks that trade with each other). Typically, a Forex broker will offer you a price from the banks that act as their liquidity provider. Admiral Markets uses multiple banks for pricing and we offer you the best available price quotes with fast execution.

Trading on interbank is possible for private individuals, however it requires significant investment. So, unless a trader has at least $50,000.00 to $100,000.00 on hand, financial leverage is also required. Forex brokers such as Admiral Markets provide that very leverage.

Admiral Markets offers a range of educational material for Forex trading - such as articles and webinars - as well as tools to equip and assist traders in making informed trading decisions.

We provide regular trading and investing webinars for our clients. Visit the Webinars section of our website to view the upcoming schedule and to reserve your space!

If the financial instrument that you hold via your Admiral Markets account pays dividends, we will fund your account with the net amount remaining after deduction of the applicable withholding tax on such dividends. The withholding tax corresponds to the tax rate that is applied to Admiral Markets by its counterparties.

Please note that you may be liable for additional taxes on dividends, other than the above. However, Admiral Markets will neither be responsible for calculating and/or deducting and/or informing you of any such taxes, nor will it provide you with any form of tax advice on any such matter. If you have any specific questions regarding tax, you should speak to a tax specialist or your local tax authority.
