What DOMINION MARKETS legally published, but does not want you to read

Every clause below is published by DOMINION MARKETS itself, on its own website, today. The finding is not that the text exists. It is the distance between what a client is shown and what a client agreed to. Read from its own documents on .

Dominion Markets can cancel your profits, including money it has already paid you, if it decides your trading was abusive. It makes that decision and the contract calls it final. Its own pages promise negative balance protection, no slippage and withdrawals in 24 hours. The contract you sign contradicts all three.

What the documents say

22 clauses worth knowing about, worst first, each quoted from DOMINION MARKETS's own files

01

If Dominion Markets decides your trading was abusive, it can cancel your profit and recalculate your balance, under clause 5.11. That includes profit it has already paid you. Your losses on the same trades stay valid.

Why this matters

Money that reached your bank account is not yours to keep. Clause 5.12 turns it into a debt payable on demand, and Dominion Markets can add its investigation costs, legal fees and interest on top.

Exhibit 1CriticalHarder than usual

Dominion Markets reserves the right to cancel, remove, deduct, or recover any such profits, including profits already withdrawn, and to recalculate the Client’s Account accordingly. Any losses arising from such Transactions shall remain valid and enforceable.
Clause 5.11 in Client Agreement / Terms and Conditions, p.7

Where it sits: section 9 of 43 in the Client Agreement / Terms and Conditions, near the start.

  • Worse together with Exhibit 7Dominion Markets decides your trading was abusive, and you carry the burden of proving it was not.
  • Worse together with Exhibit 3Your withdrawals stay frozen for as long as the investigation that produces the confiscation runs.
02

Dominion Markets can treat separate accounts as one when they share an IP address, a device, a VPS, a payment method, a trading pattern or a copy trading source. Clause 6.9 then lets it cancel profits across all of them and move balances between them.

Why this matters

Two people trading from one home connection, or following the same signal provider, meet this test. Another person's negative balance can then be settled out of your money, and you never agreed to cover them.

Exhibit 2CriticalRarely seen

Dominion Markets may treat multiple Accounts as related where the Company reasonably determines that such Accounts share common characteristics, including but not limited to IP address, device or hardware identifiers, VPS or hosting infrastructure, payment method or funding source, trading strategy or execution pattern, signal provider or copy trading source, trading behaviour or correlation, or beneficial ownership or control.

Where it sits: section 13 of 43 in the Client Agreement / Terms and Conditions, 30% of the way through.

Our readingOffsetting one person's debt against another person's balance is a device from group and corporate lending, where the parties agreed to stand behind each other. Here the only link required is a shared internet connection, a shared device or a copied strategy, and Dominion Markets decides when that link exists.

  • Worse together with Exhibit 13Relatedness supplies the link between the accounts and the set-off right supplies the taking, with no notice at either step.
03

Dominion Markets pays a withdrawal within five business days, but only once it has approved your documents, and nothing sets a deadline for that approval. Clause 12.7 lets it suspend withdrawals while it investigates you, until the investigation is finished.

Why this matters

Your money can sit there indefinitely and the contract says Dominion Markets owes you nothing for the delay. Its partner page advertises ultrafast withdrawals within 24 hours, which no document supports.

Exhibit 3CriticalHarder than usual5 working days

Provided all required information and supporting documentation have been received and approved, withdrawal requests will generally be processed within five (5) Business Days.

Where it sits: section 25 of 43 in the Withdrawal and Refund Policy, 58% of the way through.

What it costsA request approved on a Friday is not late until the following Friday. The compliance review that comes before approval has no deadline at all.

Set against a regulated standard: FCA (UK), CySEC (Cyprus)

Firms licensed by the FCA or CySEC must return retail client money promptly on request, and must give a reason and an expected timeframe when they hold a payment back. This policy lets Dominion Markets refuse at its sole discretion and puts no outer limit on a review.

DOMINION MARKETS is not licensed by these regulators, so this is a comparison of practice, not a finding of any breach.

  • Worse together with Exhibit 14The document demand and the open-ended review run together, so the paperwork request is what keeps the clock from starting.
04

Dominion Markets tells you on its FAQ page that client accounts are segregated and funds are kept safe. Clause 16.5 says that if the bank holding the pooled account fails, Dominion Markets has only an unsecured claim and the money recovered may not cover everyone.

Why this matters

Segregation protects you from the broker, not from its bank. Clause 13.4 also pledges every dollar you deposit to Dominion Markets as security for anything you might owe it, so the funds are not untouched.

Exhibit 4CriticalHarder than usual

In the event of the third party's insolvency, Dominion Markets may only have an unsecured claim against such third party on behalf of its Clients, which could mean that the funds recovered may be insufficient to satisfy all claims of all affected Clients.

Buried at section 32 of 43 in the Client Agreement / Terms and Conditions, 74% of the way through.

Set against a regulated standard: FCA (UK), CySEC (Cyprus)

Firms licensed by the FCA or CySEC hold retail money under client money rules and belong to a compensation scheme that pays out if the firm fails. No Dominion Markets document names any compensation scheme, and the Client Agreement says the company is not liable if a third party holding your funds becomes insolvent.

DOMINION MARKETS is not licensed by these regulators, so this is a comparison of practice, not a finding of any breach.

05

Dominion Markets offers 500:1 leverage and tells you in clause 8.7 not to assume your losses stop at your deposit. Clause 15.4 leaves you liable for whatever deficit remains after it closes you out.

In plain words

Negative balance protection is a limit that stops you owing more than you put in. Without it, one fast market move can leave you owing the broker money on top of your deposit.

Why this matters

A gap in the market can leave you owing Dominion Markets more than you ever paid in. Its partner page lists negative balance protection as something it offers, and no document gives you any.

Exhibit 5CriticalHarder than usual500

The Client should not assume that losses are limited to the amount deposited unless this is expressly stated in this Agreement, the Company’s applicable policies, or required under applicable law.

Where it sits: section 19 of 43 in the Client Agreement / Terms and Conditions, 44% of the way through.

What it costsAt 500:1, $1,000 of margin controls $500,000 of currency. A move of 0.2% against you wipes out the whole $1,000.

Set against a regulated standard: FCA (UK), CySEC (Cyprus), ESMA (EU), ASIC (Australia)

Firms licensed by the FCA, CySEC or ASIC must give retail clients negative balance protection, so a client can never lose more than the account holds, and they cap retail leverage on major currency pairs at 30:1. Dominion Markets advertises 500:1 and its contract tells you not to assume any limit on your losses.

DOMINION MARKETS is not licensed by these regulators, so this is a comparison of practice, not a finding of any breach.

06

You get two business days to tell Dominion Markets that a trade confirmation is wrong. Clause 9.3 then treats every confirmation as final, conclusive and binding on you.

In plain words

A manifest error means an obvious mistake by the broker.

Why this matters

The clock starts when the confirmation appears on the platform, not when you read it. A week away from the screen and a wrong execution price becomes something you agreed to.

Exhibit 6CriticalHarder than usual2 working days

If the Client believes that a confirmation contains an error, inconsistency, or omission, or if no confirmation is received following a Transaction, the Client must notify Dominion Markets in writing without undue delay and, in any event, no later than two (2) Business Days from the date the confirmation became available.

What it costsA confirmation posted on Monday is final from Thursday. Nothing requires Dominion Markets to have told you the clock was running.

Set against a regulated standard: FCA (UK), CySEC (Cyprus)

Firms licensed by the FCA must accept a complaint from a retail client for years after the event, not days, and cannot treat silence as agreement. This clause closes the question in two business days.

DOMINION MARKETS is not licensed by these regulators, so this is a comparison of practice, not a finding of any breach.

  • Worse together with Exhibit 16Anything that survives the two day window still has to be brought within twelve months and is capped at three months of commissions.

No Dominion Markets document says what it charges you

Not one of the nine legal documents contains a fee schedule. Clause 11.3 reserves withdrawal charges, conversion charges and an inactivity fee, and names no amount and no period. The only deposit figure we found is a 1% markup on crypto, stated on the FAQ page, which the contract does not include.

Cost disclosure3 clauses flagged

Dominion Markets can withdraw the swap-free status of an Islamic account at any time. Clause 18.4 then lets it go back and charge every financing cost it did not take while the account was swap-free.

Why this matters

Months of overnight charges can land on your balance at once, for trades you placed believing they were free of them. One of the listed triggers is holding positions for extended periods, which is exactly what the account is advertised for.

Exhibit 10CriticalHarder than usual

In the event of revocation, Dominion Markets may recalculate and retroactively apply financing adjustments that were not charged during the period in which the account operated under the swap-free modality, as well as impose commissions or charges equivalent to those applicable to standard accounts.

None of the nine legal documents contains a fee schedule. Clause 11.3 reserves withdrawal charges, currency conversion charges and an inactivity fee, and gives no amount for any of them.

Why this matters

You cannot work out the cost of holding or closing your account before you fund it. Clause 11.4 makes checking for new charges your job, and clause 12.10 lets Dominion Markets change them whenever it likes.

Exhibit 8WarningHarder than usual

Dominion Markets may apply additional charges related to, among other things, the processing and management of fund withdrawals, currency conversion where transactions or fund movements are made in a currency other than the base currency of the Account, and inactivity fees where the Account remains inactive for a period established by Dominion Markets in accordance with its operating conditions.

Set against a regulated standard: FCA (UK), CySEC (Cyprus)

Firms licensed by the FCA or CySEC must give a retail client the costs and charges of a service before that client trades, in a form they can keep. Dominion Markets discloses the categories and leaves the numbers to a website page it can change without notice.

DOMINION MARKETS is not licensed by these regulators, so this is a comparison of practice, not a finding of any breach.

Dominion Markets applies a 1% markup to the exchange rate on every crypto deposit, which its FAQ page describes and no legal document mentions. Crypto is the method it calls its main one.

Why this matters

You lose 1% of every deposit before you place a trade. The contract points at banks and payment providers for conversion costs, so the broker's own markup appears nowhere in what you signed.

Exhibit 9WarningHarder than usual1%

Where currency conversion is required, the applicable exchange rate shall be determined by the relevant bank, payment provider, or financial institution, and additional conversion charges may apply. Dominion Markets accepts no responsibility for exchange rate fluctuations or third-party conversion fees.

What it costsA $1,000 deposit in bitcoin credits about $990 to your account. The $10 is gone before your first trade.

You have two business days to question a Dominion Markets trade

Clause 9.3 gives you two business days to challenge a confirmation, after which it is final, conclusive and binding. Clause 15.5 puts the burden on you to prove your trading was legitimate and says Dominion Markets need not prove bad intent. Any surviving claim dies after twelve months and is capped at three months of commissions.

Challenge window2 clauses flagged

Once Dominion Markets suspects your trading, clause 15.5 makes you produce the evidence that it was legitimate. The same clause says Dominion Markets does not have to prove you acted dishonestly.

Why this matters

You are answering a case built from server logs and IP data you cannot see, because the contract says Dominion Markets need not disclose its methods. If your answer does not satisfy it, it can reverse your profits and freeze your withdrawals.

Exhibit 7CriticalRarely seen

Dominion Markets shall not be required to prove dishonest intention, fraud, or unlawful purpose where the available evidence reasonably indicates prohibited, abusive, suspicious, or non-compliant activity.

Buried at section 31 of 43 in the Client Agreement / Terms and Conditions, 72% of the way through.

Our readingMost agreements let a broker rely on its own records. This one goes further and expressly relieves Dominion Markets of proving intent while requiring you to prove innocence, on evidence it is not obliged to show you.

You have twelve months from noticing a problem to bring any claim against Dominion Markets. Clause 21.7 then caps what it can ever owe you at the commissions you paid in the three months before the event.

Why this matters

Winning is worth very little. The same clause 32.5 puts no time limit at all on Dominion Markets recovering money from you, so the deadline runs one way.

Exhibit 16WarningHarder than usual

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any action, claim, or proceeding by the Client arising out of or related to Transactions conducted under this Agreement must be initiated within twelve (12) months from the date on which the Client became aware, or ought reasonably to have become aware, of the event giving rise to the claim.

What it costsIf you paid $200 in commissions in the three months before the problem, $200 is the most you can recover. The cap counts commissions, not the spread you paid on every trade.

Dominion Markets promises in public what its contract refuses

Six promises on the Dominion Markets website are contradicted by the contract behind them. They include negative balance protection, no slippage, withdrawals in 24 hours, no hidden fees and funds kept safe. Clause 33 of the Website Terms makes the legal documents the whole agreement. Clause 9 warrants that nothing on the website is accurate.

Language of the sale2 clauses flagged

Dominion Markets warrants nothing on its own website. Clause 9 of the Website Terms disclaims the accuracy of everything published there, and clause 33 makes the legal documents the whole agreement.

In plain words

Supersedes means beats: where two documents disagree, that one wins.

Why this matters

Every figure that persuaded you sits on a page the contract excludes: the 24 hour withdrawals, the 1% deposit markup, the $50 minimum. When a page and a clause disagree, the clause is what binds you.

Exhibit 18WarningStandard wording

However, Dominion Markets makes no representation, warranty, or guarantee, whether express or implied, as to the accuracy, completeness, reliability, timeliness, suitability, availability, or fitness for any particular purpose of any information contained on the Website.

The Dominion Markets About page lists expert advisors as allowed. Its FAQ page says only manual trading is allowed and bans hedging, robots and expert advisors. The Client Agreement says Dominion Markets may permit hedging.

Why this matters

Getting this wrong costs you your profits, because prohibited trading voids them. Three pages from the same firm give three answers, and the Trading Practices Policy leaves the final call to Dominion Markets after you have traded.

Exhibit 19WarningHarder than usual

Dominion Markets may permit hedging strategies whereby Clients open opposing positions on the same instrument. However, certain hedging practices designed to exploit swap-free conditions, pricing discrepancies, or financing advantages are prohibited.

  • Worse together with Exhibit 1The rules you cannot pin down are the same rules whose breach lets Dominion Markets cancel your profit.

You can owe Dominion Markets money once it closes you out

Clause 8.7 tells you not to assume losses stop at your deposit, and clause 15.4 leaves you liable for the deficit. Dominion Markets advertises 500:1 leverage, and negative balance protection on its partner page, while the contract grants neither. It can change your margin without notice and move funds between your accounts to cover a claim.

Losses and control2 clauses flagged

Dominion Markets can rewrite its terms at any time without telling you first. Clause 30.5 makes the new version binding on publication, and the Website Terms treat your continued use as acceptance.

Why this matters

The agreement you read at signup is not the one you are held to. Clause 20.8 says posting a change on the website counts as delivering it to you, so no email has to arrive.

Exhibit 12WarningHarder than usual

The Company reserves the right to amend, modify, update, or replace these Terms at any time without prior notice. Continued use of the Website following any such amendment shall constitute acceptance of the revised Terms.

Everything you hold with Dominion Markets is security for anything you might owe it. Clause 13.2 gives it a general lien over your funds and clause 6.6 lets it move money between your accounts without notice.

Why this matters

A balance you thought was free to withdraw can be applied against a claim Dominion Markets says you owe. The contract calls this offset right an essential condition, exercisable at any time.

Exhibit 13WarningHarder than usual

Such assets shall be subject to a general lien and set-off right in favour of Dominion Markets with respect to any financial obligation, actual or contingent, present or future, that the Client has to Dominion Markets, regardless of whether such obligations are linked to one or more accounts and regardless of whether Dominion Markets has made advances in relation to such assets.

A dispute with Dominion Markets ends before three arbitrators in Mauritius

Clause 32.1 sends every dispute to arbitration at the International Arbitration Centre of Mauritius, before a panel of three. Clause 35 bars residents of twelve named countries, and that list is the last paragraph of a 43 paragraph agreement. The Complaint Handling Policy does point to the FSC Mauritius portal and the Office of Ombudsperson, which is a real and cheaper route.

Where you sue2 clauses flagged

Every dispute with Dominion Markets goes to arbitration at the International Arbitration Centre of Mauritius, under clause 32.1. Clause 32.3 requires a panel of three arbitrators, seated in Mauritius.

Why this matters

Three arbitrators and a hearing in Mauritius cost far more than most trading accounts hold. The complaint route before that is documented and free, and it is the only realistic one for a small claim.

Exhibit 15WarningHarder than usual3

Any dispute, controversy, claim, or disagreement arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, including its existence, validity, interpretation, performance, breach, or termination, shall be finally resolved by arbitration in accordance with the rules of the International Arbitration Centre of Mauritius (as amended from time to time), which rules are deemed incorporated by reference into this Agreement.

Dominion Markets does name the FSC Mauritius portal and the Office of Ombudsperson in its Complaint Handling Policy, while the Client Agreement sends disputes to paid arbitration.

DOMINION MARKETS is not licensed by these regulators, so this is a comparison of practice, not a finding of any breach.

Dominion Markets bars residents and nationals of twelve countries, including Iran, Russia and Syria. The list is the last paragraph of the Client Agreement, at position 43 of 43, and its own site offers Persian, Arabic and Urdu translations of every page.

Why this matters

You also declare in clause 25.10 that no such restriction applies to you. If that turns out to be wrong, clause 25.11 lets Dominion Markets void your positions and close the account.

The document check comes when you ask for your money

The Dominion Markets Withdrawal and Refund Policy lists seven kinds of document it may demand before paying, then adds any additional documents it deems necessary. Failing to supply them can cancel the withdrawal outright. Nothing sets a deadline for the company to finish reviewing what you send.

Verification at exit1 clause flagged

Before paying you, Dominion Markets can demand seven kinds of document, including source of wealth and a liveness selfie, plus anything else it decides it needs. Failing to supply them can cancel the withdrawal.

Why this matters

The list can grow while your money waits, and nothing limits how long Dominion Markets takes to review what you send. A request for source of wealth papers can arrive months after you were verified at signup.

Failure to provide requested documentation may result in delays, suspension, rejection, or cancellation of the withdrawal request.

Dominion Markets gains when you lose, and it sets the price

Clause 5.29 states that your losses may correspond to gains for Dominion Markets, because it acts as counterparty to your trades. Clause 7.23 says the prices you trade on are set by its own pricing methodology. The same firm then decides whether your winning trades were abusive, and no conflicts of interest policy is published.

In plain words

On a principal basis, as your counterparty, means the broker takes the other side of your trade itself. Your loss is then the firm’s gain, so it has an interest in how your trade ends.

The other side1 clause flagged

Clause 5.29 states that your losses may be gains for Dominion Markets, because it acts as the counterparty to your trades. Clause 7.23 says the prices you trade on are determined by its own pricing methodology.

Why this matters

The firm that gains when you lose also quotes the price, judges whether your winning trades were abusive and can cancel them. Acting as counterparty is normal and disclosed here, but no conflicts of interest policy is published to show how it is managed.

Exhibit 17WarningHarder than usual

As a result, Dominion Markets may have interests that conflict with those of the Client, including situations where the Client’s losses may correspond to gains for Dominion Markets.

Clause 11.3 lets Dominion Markets charge an inactivity fee after a period it sets itself. The contract gives no number of days and no figure. Clause 14.3 lets it disable your login for the same inactivity, so the first sign may be that you cannot get in.

Dormant accounts1 clause flagged

Clause 11.3 lets Dominion Markets charge you for leaving an account inactive, after a period it sets itself. The contract names no number of days and no fee.

Why this matters

You cannot tell how long a break costs you, or what it costs. Clause 14.3 also lets Dominion Markets disable your login for inactivity, so the first sign may be that you cannot get in to check.

Exhibit 11WarningHarder than usual

Dominion Markets reserves the right to suspend, reset, or replace access credentials at any time for security reasons, including where Accounts remain inactive for extended periods or where unauthorized access is suspected.

The contract names one company, the website names four

Every legal document names Dominion Markets Ltd of Mauritius, licence GB24203525. The website footer names three more companies, in Dubai, Cyprus and the Comoros Union. The FAQ page answers who owns Dominion Markets with a Comoros licence number instead. The Dubai company that opens the accounts states it is not authorised to hold client money.

Who you contract with2 clauses flagged

Your counterparty is Dominion Markets Ltd of Mauritius, licence GB24203525, and no legal document names any other company. The website footer names three more, in Dubai, Cyprus and the Comoros Union.

Why this matters

The Dubai company that opens trading accounts says it is not authorised to hold client assets or client money. The FAQ page answers who owns Dominion Markets with a Comoros licence number, so the site does not settle which regulator stands behind your balance.

Exhibit 21WarningHarder than usual

Dominion Markets Ltd. is incorporated and regulated by the Financial Services Commission of the Republic of Mauritius and holds an Investment Dealer License under license number GB24203525.
Clause Preamble in Client Agreement / Terms and Conditions, p.1
Read from the broker's site on Open the reference

Where it sits: section 1 of 43 in the Client Agreement / Terms and Conditions, near the start.

Clause 5.30 says Dominion Markets keeps internal policies to manage conflicts of interest fairly. That policy is not on the legal documents page, and neither is an execution policy, a client categorisation policy, copy trading terms or a cookie policy.

Why this matters

You cannot read the rules that decide how your orders are priced or how your client category is set. Dominion Markets sells copy trading and swap-free accounts with no published terms for either.

Dominion Markets maintains internal policies and procedures to manage conflicts of interest fairly.

The documents this reading is based on

10 files, all published by DOMINION MARKETS. Each shows when we read it and a fingerprint of its wording.

WIKILIX keeps the copy of each file it read, and does not republish it: what is published is the fingerprint of its wording. Download the file yourself and hash its text, lowercased with runs of whitespace collapsed, and a matching fingerprint means the wording quoted above is still the wording DOMINION MARKETS publishes.

Who the contract is with

Dominion Markets Ltd

Your contract is with Dominion Markets Ltd, a Mauritius company holding Financial Services Commission investment dealer licence GB24203525. That is the only entity named in the legal documents. The website names three more: Dominion Financial Services L.L.C. in Dubai, Dominion Markets LTD in Cyprus, and Dominion Markets LLC in the Comoros Union. The Dubai company opens the trading accounts and, in the website's own words, is not authorised to hold client assets or client money. The FAQ page answers who owns Dominion Markets with the Comoros licence T2023340, while the footer of that same page states licence GB24203525.

Quotations are copied verbatim from the documents named above, with the clause number and the page each one came from. Where a clause is quoted in another language, the original is shown first and the English is a translation.

The plain-language parts, what a clause means for a client, how ordinary it is, and how it reads against a regulated standard, are WIKILIX's analysis and are labelled as such on every card. This is a reading of public documents, not legal advice and not an allegation of wrongdoing.

In fairness, and what we could not check

A reader who knows the edges of the work can trust the middle of it

Dominion Markets publishes nine legal documents in one place, in full, as readable PDFs. Many offshore brokers publish less. The Complaint Handling Policy names a real external route, the FSC Mauritius online complaints portal and the Office of Ombudsperson for Financial Services, and sets firm deadlines of two business days to acknowledge and thirty days to answer. The Risk Disclosure is thorough and does not soften the risk of losing everything. Most discretionary powers in the Client Agreement are limited to acting reasonably and in good faith, which is better drafting than sole discretion.

No earlier version of these documents is available, so this is a first reading with nothing to compare against. Nine of the ten PDFs are the set Dominion Markets lists on its legal documents page. The tenth, an older Credit Card Funding Disclaimer, is still on the server but no longer listed, and it repeats most of the Card Funding Disclaimer & Policy. Five documents carry the line Last Updated: June 2026 and four carry no date at all, so we cannot say when any clause was added. No fee schedule exists in any of them, so we cannot tell you what the withdrawal fee or the inactivity fee is. We did not open an account, so any terms shown inside registration or the client portal were not read.

How to check any of this yourself

Every quote above links to the DOMINION MARKETS file it came from. This is what to do with it.

Open the three stepsFind the words in the source, work out the fingerprint, and read what a difference does and does not prove.

Open the source and search for the words

Every quote has a link under it. Open the file, or the web page, and search it for the words we quote. The clause number next to the quote tells you where to look.

If the words are not there any more, the source may have changed after we read it. That is worth knowing too. We keep the date we read it, and a code worked out from its wording, so the quote stays checkable.

What a fingerprint is

A fingerprint is a code worked out from what a source says. Change one word and the code changes completely. We keep two codes for every file we read, and the panel on each source shows both.

The first is the code of the exact file we downloaded. The second is the code of its wording alone, with capital letters lowered and runs of spaces collapsed. When the same words are saved as a new file, the first code changes and the second one stays the same.

Only the first code can be worked out on your own computer. Save the file, then run one of these, putting the name of the file you saved where the example is. The panel on each source prints the command with that source's real file name already in it.

macOS or Linux:
  shasum -a 256 the-file-you-saved.pdf

Windows:
  certutil -hashfile the-file-you-saved.pdf SHA256

The two codes are different from each other, and they are not meant to match. Comparing one against the other proves nothing.

What a difference means, and what it does not

A different file code on its own proves nothing. A PDF saved again with a new date inside it is a new file saying exactly the same thing.

A different wording code means the words themselves changed. That is the one that matters, and it is why we keep it.

Even then, a change is not proof of bad faith. Companies update their documents. What this report says is what the document said on the day we read it, and every quote carries that date.

A source that is a web page and not a file has no file to save, so only the code of its wording is shown.

How this report is made

Every clause quoted above comes from a document DOMINION MARKETS publishes on its own website, downloaded and hashed on the date shown, with the clause number and page recorded so any reader can check it. We do not allege anything the documents do not say, and we do not judge DOMINION MARKETS on anything other than its own published terms and its own public marketing. Where a clause has a qualifier that softens it, the report says so. Last read Sep 9, 2026.

If you represent DOMINION MARKETS and a clause has changed, been withdrawn, or is being read out of context, tell us and we will re-read the documents and update this page. Corrections from the broker are welcome and are published with the reading they change. Contact us.

This is a reading of a contract, not legal advice and not a ruling on DOMINION MARKETS. Whether its licence is real and current is a separate check on the broker profile.
