What ETO Markets legally published, but does not want you to read

Wikilix contract reading · Oct 22, 2026

High contract risk

ETO Markets can void your winning trades and enforce your losing ones if it believes you manipulated prices.
Its definition of manipulation includes hedging and excessive leverage, both sold on its website.
The site also promises negative balance protection, no dealing desk and instant withdrawals, and the contract takes back all three.
You get 24 hours to dispute a trade, and your contract, with a Seychelles company, never mentions the ASIC licence the site leads with.

Broker Summary

What Wikilix has recorded about ETO Markets: its history, the licences it holds, its trading conditions and its fees.

ETO Markets Broker Overview

ETO Markets is a forex and CFD broker whose global website, www.etomarkets.com, is operated by ETO Markets Limited, a Seychelles company that the Seychelles Financial Services Authority (FSA) lists on its register of securities dealers. Clients trade margin forex and CFDs on precious metals, energies, indices, cryptocurrencies and stocks on MetaTrader 4 and MetaTrader 5, through ECN, STP and CENT accounts with minimum deposits from USD 2 and leverage of up to 1:1000, and the broker runs its own copy trading and PAMM services.

The brand dates itself to 2013, marking its 13th anniversary with a lucky draw in 2026, and the ASIC licence of the group's Australian company has been in force since 1 February 2013. Residents of Australia are served by that company through www.etomarkets.com.au, and the global site is not offered to residents of 28 countries and regions, including the United States, Canada, Israel, Malaysia, Russia and Ukraine.

ETO Markets Regulation and License

ETO Markets Limited is the company named in the client agreement for www.etomarkets.com. Its site states that it is registered in Seychelles under company number 850672-1 and authorised by the FSA under licence number SD062. On 22 October 2026, the FSA's register of securities dealers listed ETO Markets Limited with the broker's published telephone number and email address. It also listed the website www.eto.group, a copy of the broker's site. The register gives no licence number, so SD062 comes from the broker's own site and documents. The FSA is an offshore regulator, and no compensation scheme covers clients of ETO Markets Limited.

Two other group companies hold licences of their own, and neither is the company that contracts with clients of www.etomarkets.com. ETO Group Pty Ltd (ABN 66 155 680 890) holds Australian financial services licence 420224, which the ASIC register showed as current on 22 October 2026, with authorisations to give general financial product advice and to deal in and make a market for derivatives and foreign exchange contracts for retail and wholesale clients. It runs www.etomarkets.com.au for Australian residents only, with leverage capped at 1:30. On 22 October 2026, the Mauritius Financial Services Commission (FSC) listed an entity named ETO Markets, based in Port Louis, as an Investment Dealer (Full Service Dealer excluding Underwriting) licensed on 28 November 2019. That register gives no licence number, so the number C119023893 rests on the group's own statement.

Is ETO Markets Regulated?

Yes, but for clients of www.etomarkets.com the licence that applies is the offshore Seychelles FSA licence held by ETO Markets Limited. The protections that come with the ASIC licence, such as the 1:30 leverage cap and access to the Australian Financial Complaints Authority, apply only to Australian clients of ETO Group Pty Ltd.

Is ETO Markets Safe?

Clients of the global site deal with an offshore-regulated company whose client agreement gives it wide discretion over trades and client money, so they have fewer protections than the brand's Australian clients. The account pages advertise negative balance protection, but the risk disclosure statement warns that clients can lose more than their deposit, and clause 14.3 of the client agreement keeps them liable for all losses on the account. The ECN and STP pages market a no-dealing-desk environment, while clause 2.1 makes ETO Markets Limited the counterparty to every trade.

Client money is held in pooled segregated accounts with a bank inside or outside Seychelles, and under clause 23 the broker may invest it, keeps any interest and accepts no liability if the bank fails. If the broker believes a client has manipulated its prices or platform, clause 9.7 lets it void winning trades, enforce losing ones, withhold funds and close the account, and its list of manipulation includes hedging, one trader trading several accounts at once and 'use of excessive leverage', even though the account pages allow hedging and offer leverage of up to 1:1000. Disputes must be dealt with in Seychelles, with referral to the FSA as the external route (clause 27.2).

ETO Markets Account Types

The global site offers three accounts:

ECN Account: from USD 1,000, with spreads from 0.0 pips and a commission of USD 7 per lot.
STP Account: from USD 100, with no commission.
CENT Account: from USD 2, with no commission, US cents as the base currency and no stock CFDs.

According to the account pages, all three allow expert advisors, scalping and hedging and have a 50% stop-out level. Visitors from Thailand are shown a different line-up that adds a BASIC Account, with every account starting at USD 10.

ETO Markets Spreads, Commissions and Fees

The site does not say whether the ECN Account's USD 7 commission is charged per side or per round turn. Spreads on the commission-free STP and CENT accounts are quoted two ways: from 1.5 pips for both in the account comparison table, and from 1.0 pips for STP and 1.7 pips for CENT on the home page. The client agreement adds that prices in a trade confirmation are net of any charges other than commissions, which may not be shown separately, and that the exchange rate it offers for currency conversions includes its markup.

Overnight swaps are charged on every account, and there is no swap-free account; a swap-free promotion that ran from 1 January to 31 March 2026 has ended. The broker publishes no deposit or withdrawal fees, and its client agreement makes clients bear the charges of receiving and intermediary banks.

ETO Markets Leverage

Every account on the global site offers maximum leverage of 1:1000, and the account pages publish no lower limits by instrument. The brand's Australian site caps leverage at 1:30.

ETO Markets Trading Platforms

ETO Markets offers MetaTrader 4 and MetaTrader 5, each with downloads for Windows, Mac, Android and iOS; its platform pages offer no browser version of either. For copy trading it runs ETO Plus, used in the browser at www.etoplus.co, and the ETO CopyTrading portal at social.etocopytrading.com, where clients sign in with a trading account as a strategy provider or follower. The ETO Plus home page advertises MT4 and MT5 integration, while a notice on the same site says its upgraded system supports MT5 accounts only for now.

ETO PAMM runs on MT5, with an investor portal at etopammglobal.com. Money managers can set performance, commission and management fees, and withdrawals from a PAMM investment follow the manager's trading cycle and fund terms.

ETO Markets Deposits and Withdrawals

The site names Visa and Mastercard cards, Neteller, Skrill, UnionPay, Tether and bank transfers as payment options, but gives no minimums or maximums for any of them and no blockchain network for Tether. Payments are made in US dollars unless agreed otherwise, and they must come from the account holder.

The platform pages call deposits and withdrawals instant, while the client agreement says transfer requests made through the trading platform are generally processed within 24 hours and other requests within 2 to 5 business days. Those are the broker's handling times, not the time the money takes to arrive. Under clause 17.4 the broker may also withhold part of a credit balance, for example while an overnight position shows a loss, more margin may be needed or a dispute is unresolved.

ETO Markets Support

ETO Markets advertises 24/7 support. Clients can call +248 437 4772, email info@eto-markets.com or info@eto.group, or use the help widget on the site, which offers live chat and a message form. The help centre is marked as coming soon, and the website is available in nine languages, including English, Chinese, Thai, Vietnamese and Indonesian.

ETO Markets Pros and Cons

Pros

ETO Markets Limited is listed on the Seychelles FSA's register of securities dealers.
A CENT Account from USD 2.
MetaTrader 4 and MetaTrader 5, plus copy trading and PAMM services.
Card, e-wallet, UnionPay, Tether and bank transfer funding.

Cons

Clients of the global site are served under an offshore Seychelles licence, without the ASIC protections of the Australian site.
Negative balance protection is advertised, but the risk disclosure and client agreement say clients can lose more than their deposit.
The client agreement lets the broker void trades, withhold funds and invest client money, and treats hedging and excessive leverage as possible manipulation.
Leverage of up to 1:1000.
No published deposit or withdrawal fees, limits or method-specific times.
No swap-free account.
Two different sets of spreads quoted for the STP and CENT accounts.

ETO Markets Review and Assessment

ETO Markets pairs low entry deposits, MetaTrader 4 and 5 and its own copy trading tools with leverage of up to 1:1000, offered by a Seychelles company on the FSA's register of securities dealers. The ASIC licence belongs to the group's Australian company and website, so anyone opening an account through www.etomarkets.com should treat the Seychelles licence as the one that applies and read the client agreement's terms on losses, withdrawals and trade cancellations before funding it.

How we know — 15 sources

1The refused countries come from the footer disclaimer on every page of https://www.etomarkets.com/ (the same English text in all nine language versions of the site and in the client portal footer): "Products and services offered on this website are not intended for residents of Afghanistan, Belarus, Canada, Central African Republic, Crimea, Cuba, Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), Ethiopia, Guinea-Bissau, Iran, Iraq, Israel, Lebanon, Libya, Malaysia, Mali, Nicaragua, North Korea, Somalia, South Sudan, Sudan, Syria, Russia, Ukraine, United States, Venezuela, Yemen, and Zimbabwe."
2The live-account signup form at https://portal.etomarkets.com/en-US/create-live-account ("Country/Region of Residence", a closed list of 216 entries, the same in all eight portal languages) offers none of these 26 countries, so the form and the disclaimer agree that they are confirmed refusals: Afghanistan, Belarus, Canada, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, the Central African Republic, Cuba, Ethiopia, Israel, Iraq, Iran, North Korea, Lebanon, Libya, Mali, Malaysia, Nicaragua, Russia, Sudan, Somalia, South Sudan, Syria, Ukraine, the United States, Venezuela, Yemen and Zimbabwe.
3The signup form's own text also asks the applicant to confirm: "I confirm that I am over 18 years old and NOT a citizen of the United States or Canada."
4Malaysia (MY) is also refused in the compliance notice the site shows to visitors located in Malaysia: "According to our compliance policy, we do not provide any services to residents or legal entities of Malaysia."
5Iran is refused: the footer disclaimer names it and the signup form does not offer it. Neither the main site (nine languages) nor the client portal (eight languages) has a Persian version.
6Crimea is named in the footer list but is a region, not a country, so it is in neither list. Ukraine is named separately and is refused.
7Guinea-Bissau is named in the footer disclaimer at https://www.etomarkets.com/ but offered by the signup form at https://portal.etomarkets.com/en-US/create-live-account. The form decides, so GW is not recorded as blocked. Because the site's disclaimer excludes it, Guinea-Bissau is not on the accepted list either until confirmed.
8Mauritius and Seychelles: the main website shows visitors in either country an error page instead of its content, while the signup form offers both. The form decides, so neither is recorded as blocked. Neither is on the accepted list until confirmed.
9Australia is not offered by the signup form, and the main website sends visitors in Australia to https://www.etomarkets.com.au/. Australia is in neither list: Australian visitors are sent to the brand's Australian site rather than refused, and these notes do not cover whether that site accepts them.
10Japan is not offered by the closed signup form but is not named in any published text, so it is a likely refusal, inferred from the form alone.
11United States Minor Outlying Islands (UM) is not offered by the signup form and is not named in any text. It is recorded as a dependent territory covered by the United States block.
12The signup form does offer American Samoa (AS), Guam (GU), the Northern Mariana Islands (MP), Puerto Rico (PR) and the US Virgin Islands (VI). The form decides, so they are not listed as refused, but they are not on the accepted list either, because the footer's United States exclusion may extend to them.
13Accepted: 207 of the 216 entries in the closed signup form at https://portal.etomarkets.com/en-US/create-live-account. That is every offered country except the former Netherlands Antilles entry and the held-out Guinea-Bissau, Mauritius, Seychelles, American Samoa, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Islands.
14The signup form uses an older ISO country list. It offers "Netherlands Antilles (the)" (former code AN, written to no list) and has no entries for Bonaire, Sint Eustatius and Saba (BQ), Curacao (CW), Sint Maarten (SX), Saint Barthelemy (BL) or Saint Martin (MF). Those gaps are not read as blocks, and the five are written to no list.
15The client agreement (https://www.etomarkets.com/files/client-agreement.pdf, dated 2024.12.01) names no country. Clause 2.11 says only that the company may run anti-money-laundering checks "including restricted lists, blocked persons and countries lists", and it does not publish those lists. The risk disclosure and privacy policy (both dated 2025.10.16) name no country, and the site publishes no restricted-countries page, FAQ or help centre.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about ETO Markets

Most Popular Questions

Yes, in the cases its client agreement sets out. If ETO Markets believes a client has manipulated its prices, execution or trading platform, clause 9.7 lets it enforce trades that leave the client owing money, treat trades that leave it owing the client as void unless the client proves otherwise within 30 days, withhold funds and close the account. The clause's list of manipulation includes hedging, one trader trading several accounts at the same time and 'use of excessive leverage', although the account pages allow hedging and offer leverage of up to 1:1000.

Yes, through a separate group entity. On 22 October 2026, the Mauritius Financial Services Commission (FSC) listed an entity named ETO Markets, based in Port Louis, as an Investment Dealer (Full Service Dealer excluding Underwriting), licensed on 28 November 2019. The register gives no licence number, so the number C119023893 rests on the group's own statement. Accounts opened on www.etomarkets.com are held with the Seychelles company ETO Markets Limited, not with the Mauritius entity.

Only its Australian company is. On 22 October 2026, the ASIC register showed Australian financial services licence 420224 as current in the name of ETO Group Pty Ltd. That company runs the brand's Australian site, www.etomarkets.com.au, for Australian residents only, with leverage capped at 1:30. Accounts opened on www.etomarkets.com are held with ETO Markets Limited in Seychelles, which is not the ASIC licensee and is regulated by the Seychelles FSA instead.

ETO Markets' client agreement asks clients to raise a dispute in writing, giving their full name, contact details, trading account number and the details of the dispute, and to contact the broker for its internal complaints process; the site names no separate complaints address, and its contact page gives info@eto-markets.com and +248 437 4772. If the broker does not resolve it, clause 27.2 lets the client refer the dispute to the Seychelles Financial Services Authority and says disputes must be dealt with in Seychelles, while clause 27.3 leaves the broker free to bring proceedings in any jurisdiction. Time limits are short: under clause 6.6 a trade confirmation is conclusive unless the client objects in writing within 24 hours of receiving it, and an account statement within 3 business days.

ETO Markets' account pages list negative balance protection among the features of every account, but its legal documents say otherwise. Its risk disclosure statement warns that if total exposure on margin trades exceeds the deposit, a client risks losing more than that deposit, and clause 14.3 of the client agreement keeps the client liable for any losses on the account, whatever the funds available when an order was filled. Every account has a stop-out level of 50%.

Yes. ETO Markets runs ETO Plus, a copy trading platform used in the browser at www.etoplus.co, and the ETO CopyTrading portal, where clients log in with a trading account and register as a strategy provider or a follower. The ETO Plus home page advertises MT4 and MT5 integration, while a notice on the same site says its upgraded system supports MT5 accounts only for now. The broker also offers ETO PAMM on MT5, where money managers can charge performance, commission and management fees.

No. Every ETO Markets account charges overnight swaps, and the broker offers no swap-free or Islamic account. A swap-free promotion, which moved accounts that applied by email to a swap-free group for 14 days, ran from 1 January to 31 March 2026 and has ended.

ETO Markets' platform pages describe withdrawals as instant, but its client agreement says requests made through the trading platform are generally processed within 24 hours and requests made any other way within 2 to 5 business days. That is the broker's handling time; the bank or payment provider then takes its own time to deliver the money. Under clause 17.4 the broker may also withhold part of a credit balance at its discretion, for example while an overnight position shows a loss, more margin may be needed or a dispute is unresolved.

ETO Markets names Visa and Mastercard cards, Neteller, Skrill, UnionPay, Tether and bank transfers as payment options. It publishes no deposit or withdrawal fees, minimums or maximums for these methods, and payments are made in US dollars unless agreed otherwise and must come from the account holder. Under the client agreement, clients bear the charges of receiving and intermediary banks.

The ECN Account has spreads from 0.0 pips and a commission of USD 7 per lot, and the site does not say whether that is charged per side or per round turn. The STP and CENT accounts charge no commission, but the site quotes their spreads two ways: from 1.5 pips for both in the account comparison table, and from 1.0 pips for STP and 1.7 pips for CENT on the home page. The client agreement adds that prices in a trade confirmation are net of any charges other than commissions, which may not be shown separately, and that the exchange rate it offers for currency conversions includes its markup.

ETO Markets' global site offers three accounts: the ECN Account from USD 1,000, with spreads from 0.0 pips and a commission of USD 7 per lot; the STP Account from USD 100, with no commission; and the CENT Account from USD 2, with no commission and US cents as the base currency. Visitors from Thailand are shown a different line-up that adds a BASIC Account, with every account starting at USD 10. The account pages allow expert advisors, scalping and hedging, although clause 9.7 of the client agreement lists hedging among the trading the broker may treat as manipulation.

ETO Markets' global website, www.etomarkets.com, and its client portal are operated by ETO Markets Limited. Its site says the company is registered in Seychelles under company number 850672-1, and the Seychelles FSA listed it on its register of securities dealers on 22 October 2026. The site gives an office at F20, 1st Floor, Eden Plaza, Eden Island, Seychelles. The brand's Australian website, www.etomarkets.com.au, is run by a separate company, ETO Group Pty Ltd (ABN 66 155 680 890), which holds the group's ASIC licence, and an entity the Mauritius FSC lists as ETO Markets, in Port Louis, holds a Mauritius licence.

Yes. ETO Markets' website says its products and services are not intended for residents of 28 countries and regions, including the United States, Canada, Israel, Malaysia, Russia, Ukraine, Iran and North Korea, and its sign-up form asks applicants to confirm that they are not US or Canadian citizens. Visitors from Australia are sent to the brand's Australian site, www.etomarkets.com.au, which is directed only at Australian residents.

ETO Markets offers margin forex and CFDs on precious metals, energies, indices, cryptocurrencies and stocks. Stock CFDs are available on the ECN and STP accounts but not on the CENT Account.

Clients can call ETO Markets on +248 437 4772 or email info@eto-markets.com, and the site footer also gives info@eto.group. The broker advertises 24/7 support, and its website has a help widget with live chat and a message form for when chat is offline. The site is available in nine languages, including English, Chinese, Thai, Vietnamese and Indonesian.

The minimum deposit at ETO Markets depends on the account: USD 2 for the CENT Account, USD 100 for the STP Account and USD 1,000 for the ECN Account, while visitors from Thailand are shown a line-up in which every account starts at USD 10. Every account on the global site offers maximum leverage of 1:1000 with a 50% stop-out level, and the brand's Australian site, run by a separate company for Australian residents, caps leverage at 1:30. Clause 9.7 of the client agreement lists 'use of excessive leverage' among the behaviours the broker may treat as manipulation.

ETO Markets supports MetaTrader 4 and MetaTrader 5, each with downloads for Windows, Mac, Android and iOS. It also runs its own copy trading services, ETO Plus in the browser at www.etoplus.co and the ETO CopyTrading portal, plus ETO PAMM on MT5 for investing through money managers.

Accounts opened on www.etomarkets.com are held with ETO Markets Limited, a Seychelles company that the Seychelles Financial Services Authority (FSA), an offshore regulator, listed on its register of securities dealers on 22 October 2026. The register shows no licence number; SD062 is the number given on the broker's own site and in its documents. The group's ASIC and Mauritius licences are held by other group companies, not by ETO Markets Limited. On safety, the client agreement makes ETO Markets Limited the counterparty to every trade and keeps clients liable for losses beyond their balance, although the account pages advertise negative balance protection.
