Mitrade by Client Region and Legal Entity
Legal Entities by Client Region
| Client Location / Group | Contracting Entity | Regulator | Licence | What Changes for the Client |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Australia | Mitrade Global Pty Ltd | ASIC | 398528 | Australian retail CFD rules apply to retail clients, including leverage limits, margin close-out and negative-balance protections. Professional-client treatment differs. |
| EEA / Cyprus | MiTrade EU Limited | CySEC | 438/23 | The Cyprus/EEA MiFID framework applies. Retail leverage and product rules, investor protections and complaint arrangements differ from those of offshore entities; compensation eligibility depends on the entity and client. |
| International / Mauritius entity (subject to exclusions) | Mitrade International Ltd | FSC (Mauritius) | GB20025791 | The local FSC (Mauritius) framework applies. UK, EU and Australian retail protections and compensation schemes do not automatically apply; leverage, products and dispute routes may differ. |
| South Africa (or clients routed to SA entity) | Mitrade Markets (Pty) Ltd | FSCA | 54842 | South African FSCA rules apply. Protections and product terms can differ depending on whether the entity acts as product issuer or intermediary. |
Mitrade also identifies the Cayman Islands, Mauritius and the United Arab Emirates among its regulatory jurisdictions, alongside Australia, Cyprus and South Africa. The table lists contracting entities and licence details for the specified client groups; it does not assign an entity to clients outside those groups.
Protection by Entity
Mitrade states that client funds are segregated and that it provides negative-balance protection. It also describes an investor compensation scheme covering eligible CFD traders for up to $1,000,000 in USD, AUD or EUR, depending on region. Eligibility and protection depend on the client’s entity and circumstances, so the scheme does not provide universal coverage.
Corporate Transparency and Ownership
Mitrade was founded in 2011 and is not publicly traded.
Trading Costs by Account and Instrument
Representative Trading Costs
| Instrument | Spread Basis | Commission | Important Condition |
|---|---|---|---|
| EURUSD | Average spread: 0.5 pips | No commission | Standard account spreads float. The account description gives spreads from 0.6 pips, which is a different measure from the instrument average. |
| GBPUSD | Average spread: 0.7 pips | No commission | Standard account spreads float. |
| Gold (XAU/USD) | Average spread: 0.465 points | No commission | Spread is quoted in points, not pips. |
| S&P 500 CFD | Average spread: 0.6 points | No commission | Spread is quoted in points, not pips. |
Costs Outside the Trade
| Trader Behavior | Possible Cost | Broker Rule |
|---|---|---|
| Holding positions overnight | Overnight swap fees | Swap fees apply; amounts depend on the instrument and position. |
| Leaving the account inactive | $10 per month | Charged after six months of inactivity. |
| Trading in a currency different from the account currency | Currency conversion fee | A conversion fee applies; no rate is specified here. |
| Depositing or withdrawing | Third-party or intermediary charges may apply | Mitrade lists no deposit or withdrawal fee. Payment providers or intermediaries may charge separately. |
Commission-free trading does not make holding costs uniform. Floating spreads shape entry costs, while overnight swaps and prolonged inactivity can add charges outside an active trade.
Key Trade-Offs to Consider
One account simplifies setup, but regional terms still differ
Mitrade offers one Standard account rather than several account tiers. This reduces account-selection complexity, but the legal entity and client classification still determine key protections, leverage and product access. When comparing brokers across jurisdictions, assess the terms attached to your contracting entity rather than assuming one account description applies globally.
Commission-free pricing still includes floating spreads and holding costs
The Standard account has no commission, but spreads float and overnight swap fees apply. A $10 monthly inactivity charge begins after six months. Active traders need to account for spread-based pricing; those who hold positions longer or leave accounts unused should also factor in the additional charges.
Browser and mobile access do not include automation or copy trading
Mitrade offers browser-based WebTrader and iOS and Android apps, but no native desktop installation, API trading or copy trading. The setup supports manual trading through the broker’s interfaces. Users requiring programmable automation, API access, or social and copy-trading features will need a different platform.
Build a Trading Setup
Account and Platform Compatibility
| Account | Compatible Platforms | Pricing Model | Automation | Important Constraint | Natural Use Case |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Standard | Mitrade WebTrader, iOS app, Android app | Floating spreads; no commission | No user-programmable automation or API trading is documented; copy trading is not offered. | WebTrader runs in a browser; there is no native desktop installation. | Manual trading through a browser or mobile app. |
Platform-Specific Differences
Mitrade WebTrader runs in a browser rather than as a native desktop program. The iOS and Android options are mobile apps, not desktop platforms. The available platforms do not include a user-programmable automation route.
Practical Setup Assessment
Users can trade CFDs manually through WebTrader or the mobile apps, and a demo account is available for practice. Mitrade does not offer API or copy trading, and social trading is unavailable. An Islamic account is available only through specific Middle Eastern/UAE regional entities regulated by the CMA.
Trading Conditions and Position Management
Entering the Market
Mitrade operates as a market maker. The minimum lot size is 0.01. Slippage is possible during rapid markets, news events or periods of low liquidity.
Leverage
| Market | Maximum Retail Leverage | Professional / Other Eligible Leverage | What Determines It |
|---|---|---|---|
| Forex | 1:30 | 1:200 | Instrument and client classification; the applicable legal entity also affects the available terms. |
| Indices | 1:20 | 1:200 | Instrument and client classification; the applicable legal entity also affects the available terms. |
| Commodities | 1:20 | 1:200 | Instrument and client classification; the applicable legal entity also affects the available terms. |

Retail limits are substantially lower than professional or other eligible limits in several markets. The headline maximum of 1:200 applies to eligible clients under offshore/international entities; retail clients under ASIC and CySEC rules are capped at 1:30 overall, with instrument-specific limits also applying.
Margin Calls and Stop-Outs
Mitrade sets the margin call level at 100% and the stop-out margin level at 50%. These thresholds matter when account equity falls relative to the required margin.

FxFind's Assessment on Mitrade
Mitrade’s setup centres on one commission-free Standard account, browser and mobile access, and a demo option. Its markets extend beyond forex to indices, commodities, stock CFDs, cryptocurrencies, ETFs, futures and options. The trade-offs are regional differences in leverage, product access and protections, alongside floating spreads, overnight swaps and inactivity charges that affect total costs. The setup may suit beginners and mobile-first manual traders comfortable trading CFDs through Mitrade’s own interfaces. It is less suited to traders requiring API automation, copy or social trading, a native desktop application, or share ownership. Those seeking uniform regulatory terms across regions or a programmable platform may prefer a different setup.
