Eightcap supports several platforms, but the platform alone does not determine the trading experience. The account’s spread-and-commission structure and the protections tied to the client’s legal entity matter just as much.
What stands out
- MT4, MT5, TradingView and TradeLocker are available, with platform-specific automation options.
- Raw pricing combines spreads from 0.0 pips with a stated commission of $3.50 USD per side per standard forex lot.
- A $100 minimum deposit applies to both Raw and Standard accounts.
What to weigh up
- Leverage, product availability and client protections depend on the contracting entity and client classification.
- Overnight swap charges apply, and Eightcap does not offer a swap-free Islamic account.
- Full MetaTrader EA development and testing are desktop- or VPS-centric.
Eightcap by Client Region and Legal Entity
8.8/10
Legal Entities by Client Region
| Client Location / Group | Contracting Entity | Regulator | Licence | What Changes for the Client |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Australia | Eightcap Pty Ltd | ASIC | 391441 | Australian retail CFD rules apply to retail clients, including leverage limits, margin close-out and negative-balance protections. Professional-client treatment differs. |
| EEA / Cyprus | Eightcap EU Ltd | CySEC | 246/14 | The Cyprus/EEA MiFID framework applies. Retail leverage and product rules, complaint arrangements and investor-protection eligibility differ from those under offshore entities. |
| United Kingdom | Eightcap Group Ltd | FCA | 921296 | The UK FCA framework applies. Retail leverage and product rules, client-money safeguards, complaint routes and compensation eligibility differ from those under offshore entities. |
| International / Bahamas entity (subject to exclusions) | Eightcap Global Limited | SCB (Bahamas) | SCB SIA-F220 | The local SCB framework applies. UK, EU and Australian retail protections and compensation schemes do not automatically apply; leverage, products and dispute routes may differ. |
Protection by Entity
Eightcap identifies entities regulated by ASIC, FCA, CySEC and SCB, and states that client funds are segregated from the firm’s operating funds. It also states that retail negative-balance protection applies across its regulated entities; this protection may not apply to elective professional clients. Eightcap does not offer an investor compensation scheme as a general feature. Eligibility for any entity-specific compensation arrangement depends on the client and contracting entity.
Founded in 2009, Eightcap is not publicly traded. The entity named in the account agreement determines the applicable regulatory framework, so protections and leverage available under one entity should not be assumed to apply to another.
Trading Costs by Account and Instrument
9/10
Representative Trading Costs
| Instrument | Spread Basis | Commission | Important Condition |
|---|---|---|---|
| EUR/USD | Broker-reported average: 0.8 pips | Raw: $3.50 USD per side per standard lot for forex; Standard: no commission | Raw spreads start from 0.0 pips; Standard spreads start from 1.0 pips. The reported average and account starting spreads are different measures. |
| GBP/USD | Broker-reported average: 1 pips | Raw: $3.50 USD per side per standard lot for forex; Standard: no commission | Raw spreads start from 0.0 pips; Standard spreads start from 1.0 pips. Actual spreads are floating. |
| Gold (XAU/USD) | Broker-reported average: 0.16 points | Raw: $3.50 USD per side per standard lot for forex; Standard: no commission | The stated forex commission is not a gold commission schedule. |
| S&P 500 CFD | Broker-reported average: 0.5 points | Not publicly specified as a fixed figure; check the broker’s current contract specification or live trading platform. | Floating spread; a commission value for this instrument is not specified here. |
| Share CFDs | Instrument-specific share-CFD spread; current Eightcap specifications publish minimum spreads by symbol and account type (for example 0.1 pip for several US share CFDs). | $2 USD per side per lot ($0.02 USD per share) | This share-CFD commission applies to both account types. |
Raw pricing separates the forex commission from the spread; Standard has no forex commission and starts from a wider spread. Compare both components for the instrument and account you intend to trade. Quoted average spreads are not guaranteed rates.
Costs Outside the Trade
| Trader Behavior | Possible Cost | Broker Rule |
|---|---|---|
| Holding leveraged positions overnight | Swap or financing charge | Applies to overnight positions and varies by instrument and direction. Triple swaps apply on Wednesday nights for forex and metals, and on Friday nights for stock and index CFDs. |
| Leaving an account inactive | $10 USD per month | Charged after 12 months of inactivity. |
| Depositing or withdrawing | No internal broker fee | Payment-provider, bank or network charges may still apply. |
| Converting currency | No broker currency-conversion fee | Other payment-provider or bank conversion costs are not ruled out. |
Trading costs depend chiefly on the account’s spread-and-commission mix. Overnight positions add financing costs, while extended inactivity can trigger a monthly charge.
Key Trade-Offs to Consider
Raw pricing separates spread from commission
The Raw account offers spreads from 0.0 pips but charges $3.50 USD per side per standard forex lot. Standard has no forex commission and spreads from 1.0 pips. Compare the combined spread and commission for the instrument and trading activity, rather than relying on the headline spread alone. This is particularly relevant to active forex traders making frequent entries and exits.
High leverage is entity-specific, not a universal account feature
Eightcap’s SCB-regulated entity offers leverage up to 1:500 for forex and major commodities, while UK and EU retail limits are lower and product-specific. Under the UK FCA asset schedule, retail forex leverage is 1:30, indices and commodities are 1:20, share CFDs are 1:5, and EU retail crypto leverage is 1:2. The high-leverage headline does not describe every client’s account and may come with a different protection and dispute framework.
Platform choice comes with platform-specific automation limits
Eightcap supports MT4, MT5, TradingView and TradeLocker, including desktop automation options for MetaTrader and TradeLocker. TradingView strategies use its broker emulator; unattended live execution requires a compatible broker, API or bridge. When choosing a platform for automation, distinguish chart-based strategy testing from orders executed in a live account.

Account and Platform Compatibility
| Account | Compatible Platforms | Pricing Model | Automation | Important Constraint | Natural Use Case |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Raw | MT4, MT5, TradingView | Spreads from 0.0 pips; $3.50 USD per lot per side for forex | MetaTrader Expert Advisors; TradingView strategies and alerts with compatible execution arrangements | $100 minimum deposit; leverage depends on entity and client classification. | Forex traders comparing tighter starting spreads plus commission. |
| Standard | MT4, MT5, TradingView | Spreads from 1.0 pips; no forex commission | MetaTrader Expert Advisors; TradingView strategies and alerts with compatible execution arrangements | $100 minimum deposit; share-CFD commission also applies. | Traders preferring spread-based forex pricing without a separate forex commission. |
| TradingView | TradingView | Standard-style pricing from about 1.0 pip; a Raw option may differ | Pine strategies, server-side alerts and webhooks; direct unattended execution requires a compatible connection | Platform route rather than a separate pricing tier; $100 minimum on the cited account page. | Chart-led traders who want to place trades through TradingView. |
Platform-Specific Differences
| Platform | Web | Desktop | Mobile | Automation | Main Limitation |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| MetaTrader 4 | MT4 WebTrader | Desktop terminal | iOS and Android | Expert Advisors (MQL4) on desktop or VPS | Full MQL4, EA and custom-script functionality is desktop- or VPS-centric; browser and mobile versions do not provide the full desktop automation environment. |
| MetaTrader 5 | MT5 WebTerminal | Desktop terminal | iOS and Android | Expert Advisors (MQL5), Strategy Tester and MQL5 automation on desktop or VPS | EA development, custom code and testing are desktop-centric; browser and mobile versions focus on trading and monitoring. |
| TradingView | Yes | Desktop app | iOS and Android | Pine strategies, server-side alerts and webhooks; direct unattended execution requires a compatible broker, API or bridge | A Pine strategy alone does not universally execute live orders; TradingView evaluates strategy orders through its broker emulator. |
| TradeLocker | Yes | Desktop app | Yes | Public REST API and TradeLocker Studio for bots, Python scripts, backtesting and API workflows | TradeLocker Studio is desktop-only; automation and API permissions can be restricted by the connected broker or prop firm. |
Practical Setup Assessment
Manual traders can choose among MetaTrader, TradingView and TradeLocker interfaces. MT4 and MT5 support Expert Advisors, and Eightcap offers VPS hosting through partners for strategies intended to run continuously. The broker also supports copy trading through third-party services, including Pelican Trading, and API trading. These options depend on the relevant platform, integration and account permissions, rather than a proprietary Eightcap copy-trading app.
Trading Conditions and Position Management
9/10
Entering the Market
Eightcap permits scalping, hedging, Expert Advisors and news trading on its standard retail platforms. Slippage can occur during volatility, news events, limited liquidity, transmission delays or large orders. Limit, stop and stop-loss prices are not assured; a triggered stop-loss becomes a market order, and guaranteed stop-loss orders are not offered. The minimum lot size is 0.01.
Leverage
Leverage depends on the relevant entity, client classification and instrument. The following schedule gives UK FCA retail and professional figures where specified, alongside EU retail and professional figures for crypto. Eightcap’s SCB-regulated entity offers up to 1:500 for forex and major commodities, but that maximum does not apply universally.
| Market | Maximum Retail Leverage | Professional / Other Eligible Leverage | What Determines It |
|---|---|---|---|
| Forex | 1:30 | 1:200 | UK / FCA retail and professional schedule; position size, volatility, news and legal entity can reduce the maximum. |
| Indices | 1:20 | 1:200 | UK / FCA retail and professional schedule; position size, volatility, news and legal entity can reduce the maximum. |
| Commodities | 1:20 | 1:200 | UK / FCA retail and professional schedule; position size, volatility, news and legal entity can reduce the maximum. |
| Stocks | 1:5 | 1:5 | Share CFDs under the UK / FCA schedule; position size, volatility, news and legal entity can reduce the maximum. |
| Cryptocurrencies | 1:2 | 1:20 | EU retail / professional schedule; crypto access and leverage vary by entity and jurisdiction. |
Margin Calls and Stop-Outs
Eightcap sets the margin-call level at 80% and the stop-out level at 50%. These thresholds relate to account equity versus required margin. Leverage increases the exposure controlled by a given amount of capital and can bring positions closer to closure as losses accumulate.
Trading Restrictions
| Trading Activity | Status | Important Conditions |
|---|---|---|
| Scalping | Allowed | Permitted on the standard retail platforms. |
| Hedging | Allowed | Supported on MT4 and MT5; restrictions may apply to certain regulated entities or accounts. |
| Expert Advisors and automated strategies | Allowed | MetaTrader EAs and other supported automation are subject to platform, margin and execution rules. |
| API trading | Available | Access depends on the supported integration and applicable account permissions. |
| News trading | Generally allowed on standard retail platforms | Volatility can increase spreads and slippage. Eightcap Challenge payout-stage accounts prohibit news trading within 10 minutes before and after major data releases or high-impact macroeconomic events. |
Tradable Markets: Range and Restrictions
8/10
| Asset Class | Approx. Instruments | What Is Notable | Main Restriction / Gap |
|---|---|---|---|
| Forex | 55 | Margin FX trading; swaps may apply | Maximum can fall at larger position sizes, during volatility or news, or under another legal entity. |
| Indices | 20 | Cash- and futures-referenced index derivatives | Maximum can fall at larger position sizes, during volatility or news, or under another legal entity. |
| Commodities | 16 | Spot- and futures-referenced commodity derivatives | Maximum can fall at larger position sizes, during volatility or news, or under another legal entity. |
| Stocks | 800 | Share CFDs; no ownership or voting rights | Maximum can fall at larger position sizes, during volatility or news, or under another legal entity. |
| Cryptocurrencies | 250+ | Crypto access varies by entity and jurisdiction | Leverage can vary by legal entity, account type, position size and instrument; exact conditions are symbol-specific. |
Eightcap’s listed markets are derivatives, not direct ownership of the underlying assets. Its stock offering consists of share CFDs without ownership or voting rights. Crypto availability is particularly dependent on entity and jurisdiction.

Who Eightcap Fits

|---|---|---|
| Active forex trader comparing pricing models | Raw pricing starts from 0.0 pips with a stated per-side forex commission, while Standard has no forex commission and spreads from 1.0 pips. | Overnight swaps apply, and total costs depend on the spread and commission for the chosen account. |

FxFind's Assessment on Eightcap
Eightcap combines four trading platforms with distinct pricing routes and support for desktop automation. Traders can choose among MetaTrader tools, TradingView charting and TradeLocker, and compare spread-based Standard pricing with Raw pricing plus commission. The key trade-off is that the entity serving the account determines leverage, protections and product conditions; the SCB 1:500 forex and major-commodity maximum is not universal. Overnight swaps also make the offering less suitable for traders who need swap-free terms or routinely hold leveraged positions.
Eightcap is most relevant to intermediate and advanced traders who can select an appropriate account structure and are comfortable with CFD trading. Those who require a specific compensation scheme, swap-free terms or a uniform retail leverage regime may prefer a broker whose legal and pricing structure better matches those requirements.
