Broker Summary
What Wikilix has recorded about LQH MARKETS: its history, the licences it holds, its trading conditions and its fees.
LQH Markets Broker Overview
LQH Markets is the retail trading brand of LQH Integrated Ltd, a company registered in Saint Lucia and trading since 2023. It offers forex, metals, indices, share CFDs and cryptocurrency CFDs on MetaTrader 5, with accounts opening from 10 USD and leverage of up to 1:500.
Pricing follows an ECN execution model with variable spreads. The broker advertises a 3 USD commission per lot, and its Zero Commission account charges none. Accounts are funded mainly in cryptocurrency, with card deposits also accepted. The broker holds no confirmed financial regulation.
LQH Markets Regulation and License
The only regulatory claim on record for LQH Markets names the Anjouan Offshore Finance Authority (AOFA) in the Union of Comoros, under licence number L15833/LIL, recorded as a Financial Service licence. That claim has not been confirmed on the authority's own register, so it stands as claimed and unconfirmed rather than as verified regulation.
The operating company behind the brand is a separate matter from the licence claim. LQH Integrated Ltd is presented as a Saint Lucia company with registration number 2023-00570. A company registration shows only that a company exists. It is not a financial services licence, and it brings no supervision of trading activity or of client money.
Is LQH Markets Regulated?
No, not on any evidence that has been confirmed. The single licence claim attached to LQH Markets points to an offshore authority in the Union of Comoros and remains unverified on that authority's register, while the Saint Lucia entry behind the brand is a company registration rather than a licence. On that basis LQH Markets operates without confirmed oversight from a mainstream financial regulator.
LQH Integrated Ltd
LQH Integrated Ltd is the company named behind the LQH Markets brand. Its registered address is given as Ground Floor, Rodney Court Building, Rodney Bay, Gros Islet, Saint Lucia, and the brand publishes further contact addresses in Anjouan in the Union of Comoros and in Ras Al Khaimah in the United Arab Emirates. The Comoros address matches the jurisdiction of the licence claim, while the company itself is a Saint Lucia registration, so the entity a client contracts with and the jurisdiction of the claimed licence are not the same place.
Is LQH Markets Safe?
LQH Markets carries the risk profile of an offshore broker whose regulation is unconfirmed. The factors behind that are a licence claim in the Union of Comoros that has not been verified on the register, an operating company incorporated in Saint Lucia, and a short trading history since 2023. The presence of a licence number is not in itself evidence of client protection, and no confirmed route of regulatory recourse has been established for this broker.
LQH Markets Account Types
Four live tiers are offered, all at leverage of up to 1:500:
- Standard, from 10 USD, with spreads from 1.5 pips.
- Zero Commission, from 10 USD, with spreads from 1.0 pips and no commission.
- Pro, from 1,000 USD, with spreads from 1.0 pips.
- Institutional, from 100,000 USD, with spreads from 0.0 pips.
What separates the tiers is the deposit threshold and the spread. The broker's accounts page does not say which tiers carry a commission. Its home page advertises 3 USD per lot, and its client agreement (clauses 5.4 and 12.2) names a different set of accounts, Raw Spread, Zero Commission and Deposit Bonus, and charges 3 USD per side on Raw Spread only. The leverage cap is identical across all four.
LQH Markets Spreads, Commissions and Fees
Spreads are variable rather than fixed, on an ECN execution model. The home page advertises a 3 USD commission per lot and the client agreement charges 3 USD per side on its Raw Spread account, but neither says which of the Standard, Pro and Institutional accounts carries it. The Zero Commission account is priced without one.
The client agreement says LQH Markets charges no fees on deposits or withdrawals (clauses 11.7 and 12.4), although payment processors and blockchain networks may charge their own. No withdrawal minimum or maximum is published.
LQH Markets Leverage
Leverage reaches 1:500, and the same cap applies to every account tier.
LQH Markets Trading Platforms
Trading is on MetaTrader 5, offered as a Windows terminal, a browser based web terminal and iOS and Android apps, all connecting to the same LQH Markets account. The Windows build is published for direct download from the broker's own platform page. MetaTrader 4 is not offered. The home page also names X9 Trader and TradingView, and the accounts page names TradingView, but the broker publishes no download, link or connection guide for either, and its client agreement calls MetaTrader 5 its exclusive trading platform (clause 4.4).
LQH Markets Deposits and Withdrawals
Accounts are funded from 10 USD, and the broker states no maximum deposit. Cryptocurrency is the primary route, in Bitcoin, Ethereum, Tether and USD Coin, with deposits normally credited within minutes once the network confirms. Card deposits are also accepted.
Withdrawal guidance names Bitcoin, Ethereum and Tether only, so a client who deposits by card should expect to be paid out in cryptocurrency. The client agreement says the broker charges no deposit or withdrawal fees and that withdrawals are typically processed and approved within 24 to 48 hours (clause 11.6). No per method withdrawal limits are stated.
LQH Markets Support
Support is by live chat, by email at support@lqhmarkets.com and by telephone on +1 844 560 0056. The home page advertises 24/7 customer support, while the client agreement says the support team is available 24/5 during market hours (clause 8.3). English is the broker's official business language (clause 15.2). A help centre on the broker's own site carries its funding and platform guidance.
LQH Markets Pros and Cons
In its favour: a 10 USD entry point on two of the four tiers, a commission free option in the Zero Commission account, crypto deposits credited within minutes, and MetaTrader 5 across desktop, web and mobile.
Against it: no confirmed regulation, an offshore operating company whose jurisdiction differs from that of its licence claim, a short history since 2023, no published withdrawal limits, withdrawals routed through cryptocurrency, and English as its only official business language.
LQH Markets Review and Assessment
LQH Markets is a low entry, high leverage offshore offering built on MetaTrader 5, aimed at traders who want ECN style pricing from a small deposit. The decisive question before funding an account is regulatory: the one licence claim on record is offshore and unconfirmed, the operating company is a Saint Lucia registration, and the limits on withdrawing are not published in advance.

How we know — 11 sources
- 1The refused countries come from the registration form's restriction list at https://my.lqhmarkets.com/register/. It restricts Cuba, Iran, Myanmar, North Korea, Sudan, China, Singapore, the United States, Belarus and Russia, and leaves all ten out of its 233-entry country selector. That selector is the broker's live onboarding gate, so it outranks the published documents.
- 2Eight of those ten - the United States, Cuba, Iran, Myanmar, North Korea, Sudan, China and Singapore - are also named in the broker's own published text: Client Agreement clause 5.6 and its Schedule A glossary at https://lqhmarkets.com/client-agreement ("LQH Markets does not accept clients who are citizens or residents of the United States, Cuba, Iran, Myanmar, North Korea, Sudan, China, Singapore, or the United Arab Emirates, or from jurisdictions on the FATF, OFAC, or EU/UN sanctions lists"), the sitewide Restricted Regions footer carried on every page, and the funded-programme footer at https://funded.lqhmarkets.com/.
- 3Belarus and Russia are blocked by the registration form alone; no published document on the site names either one. They are confirmed refusals because the onboarding form names them explicitly and removes them from the country selector.
- 4The United Arab Emirates is a likely refusal, not a confirmed one. Client Agreement clause 5.6 and the sitewide Restricted Regions footer at https://lqhmarkets.com/client-agreement both name it as a jurisdiction the broker does not serve, but the registration form at https://my.lqhmarkets.com/register/ offers it as a selectable country and leaves it out of the restriction list, and the funded-programme footer at https://funded.lqhmarkets.com/ omits it as well. The form decides, so the refusal is not confirmed.
- 5Iraq is a likely but unconfirmed refusal for the same reason: the help-centre answer to "Which countries are not eligible to open an account with LQH Markets?" at https://lqhmarkets.com/help-center names Iraq, no other page on the site does, and the registration form offers Iraq as a selectable country.
- 6The broker's own wording also gestures at "jurisdictions on the FATF, OFAC and EU/UN sanctions lists" without reproducing any list. No country is recorded from that phrase. The registration selector still offers Syria, Libya, Somalia, Yemen, Afghanistan, Venezuela and the Palestinian Territory, so the broker's own onboarding does not apply the category as a block beyond the ten codes above.
- 7No dependent territory is recorded. The United States is blocked, but the registration selector explicitly offers American Samoa, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Islands; China is blocked, but Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan are all selectable. Neither refusal is extended to a territory the broker's onboarding still accepts.
- 8The accepted list comes from the registration form's closed country selector at https://my.lqhmarkets.com/register/. It holds 233 countries, and the ten restricted countries have been removed from it, so a country's presence in it is explicit acceptance, not silence. The accepted list has 230 countries: the United Arab Emirates and Iraq are listed as probably refused instead, and the selector's "Netherlands Antilles" entry is left out because that territory was dissolved in 2010. Kosovo is recorded as XK, the code the selector itself uses.
- 9Iran's placement rests on the broker's own pages. Client Agreement clause 5.6, the sitewide Restricted Regions footer, the help-centre eligibility answer and the registration form's restriction list all name Iran, and the form's country selector omits it. The site has no Persian version (/fa, /fa-ir and /persian do not exist), the client portal offers English, Spanish, French, Arabic, Hindi and Portuguese but not Persian, and no page on the site mentions rial or any Iran-specific funding route.
- 10The site has no dedicated restricted-countries page: /restricted-countries, /prohibited-countries, /accepted-countries and /where-we-operate do not exist, and the sitemap lists no such page. It does publish https://lqhmarkets.com/restricted-access, a geo-block landing page reading "Due to our regulatory structure, we are unable to offer our services to residents or citizens of your jurisdiction", which names no country.
- 11No AML or KYC policy document is published, the site has no standalone deposit or withdrawal page, and the affiliate page at https://lqhmarkets.com/affiliates carries no country restriction of its own beyond the sitewide footer.
Deposits & withdrawals
Funding Methods
2 ways to fund an account. 2 with no deposit fee. 2 credit instantly.
2 methods
| Method | Deposit fee | Withdrawal fee | Min deposit | Withdrawal min / max | Processing |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Cryptocurrency (BTC, ETH, USDT, USDC)CryptocurrencyThe broker's crypto funding page lists Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Tether (USDT) and USD Coin (USDC) as its supported funding coins. Its help centre states that a deposit in BTC, ETH or USDT is credited typically within minutes, with times varying by network confirmation speed, and that withdrawals can be made in BTC, ETH or USDT. LQH Markets publishes a single 10 USD minimum deposit rather than a per method figure, and states there is no maximum deposit limit. Its client agreement says LQH Markets charges no fees on deposits or withdrawals through its supported methods (clauses 11.7 and 12.4), while payment processors and blockchain networks may charge their own. It says withdrawals are typically processed and approved within 24 to 48 hours (clause 11.6); that is the broker's processing time, not the time the network transfer takes. No per method withdrawal limits are published. | Free | Free | USD 10 | Not recordedNot recorded | Instant |
Card PaymentsCredit CardThe broker's help centre states it accepts card payments as well as BTC, ETH and USDT, and its crypto funding page repeats that an account can be funded by crypto or by card. No card brands, limits or processing times are published on its accounts, platform or funding pages; its client agreement says it charges no deposit fees (clauses 11.7 and 12.4), and its withdrawal guidance names only BTC, ETH and USDT, so card appears as a deposit route with no stated card withdrawal path. The processing time carries the previously stored value forward because the field is mandatory and the site publishes no card timing. | Free | Not recorded | USD 10 | Not recordedNot recorded | Instant |

Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about LQH MARKETS
Most Popular Questions
You sign up on the broker's site and then pass its identity checks. LQH Markets asks for a government issued photo ID such as a passport or driving licence, together with a recent proof of address such as a utility bill or bank statement that matches the application. Once the account is approved, the minimum deposit to fund it is 10 USD.
LQH Markets says it offers more than 300 instruments, spanning forex, share CFDs, cryptocurrencies, commodities and other global markets. Everything is traded through MetaTrader 5, which the broker provides on desktop, web and mobile. The site does not publish a full instrument list, so check the symbol list inside the platform for what is actually available on your account.
LQH Markets is the trading brand of LQH Integrated Ltd, which the site footer states is registered in Saint Lucia as an International Business Company with registration number 2023-00570. The footer and the contact page give its registered and physical address as Ground Floor, Rodney Court Building, Rodney Bay, Gros Islet, Saint Lucia. A company registration of that kind confirms only that the company exists: it is not a financial services licence and brings no supervision of the trading business.
LQH Markets says it does not provide services to citizens or residents of the United States, Cuba, Iran, Iraq, Myanmar, North Korea, Sudan, China and Singapore, or to jurisdictions on the FATF, OFAC and EU or UN sanctions lists. The restricted regions notice in the site footer gives a slightly different list, adding the United Arab Emirates and leaving out Iraq. Because the broker's own two lists disagree, anyone in these places should confirm their eligibility before applying.
LQH Markets' client agreement says its financial team works 24/7 and that withdrawals are typically processed and approved within 24 to 48 hours (clause 11.6), and its home page says the same. That is the broker's processing time: the network transfer to your wallet comes on top.
Withdrawals are paid in Bitcoin, Ethereum or USDT, up to the amount of your free margin, and the broker charges no withdrawal fee of its own (clause 12.4). It reserves the right to delay or decline a withdrawal where it suspects abuse of its negative balance protection policy.
No. LQH Markets names card payments and the cryptocurrencies Bitcoin, Ethereum and USDT as its funding routes, and its help centre lists no bank transfer or e-wallet option. It also states that it does not support broker to broker transfers, so money has to arrive through one of the approved methods.
LQH Markets offers live chat, email and a web form. Its support address is support@lqhmarkets.com, its contact page publishes the telephone number +18445600056 and a message form with categories for general enquiries, account issues, withdrawals and deposits, and self-service answers sit in the . Its home page advertises 24/7 customer support, while its client agreement says the support team is available 24/5 during market hours (clause 8.3). The broker publishes no response time commitment and no separate complaints address.
LQH Markets lists leverage of up to 1:500 on all four of its account types: Standard, Pro, Institutional and Zero Commission. Higher leverage also means larger losses when a trade moves against you.
The minimum deposit at LQH Markets is 10 USD, and the broker states there is no maximum deposit limit. The same minimum applies whichever funding route you use, since accounts are funded by card payment or by Bitcoin, Ethereum and USDT. There is no separate bank transfer minimum, because bank transfer is not one of the funding methods the broker offers.
LQH Markets accepts card payments and the cryptocurrencies Bitcoin, Ethereum and USDT for deposits, and pays withdrawals in Bitcoin, Ethereum or USDT. Crypto deposits are usually credited within minutes, subject to network confirmation speed. The broker states that it does not accept broker to broker transfers, and its help centre lists no bank transfer or e-wallet route. One consequence is worth planning for: a card deposit cannot be taken back out to the card, because withdrawals are offered only in cryptocurrency.
MetaTrader 5, which its client agreement calls its exclusive trading platform (clause 4.4). It is offered as a Windows and Mac desktop terminal, a browser based web terminal and iOS and Android apps, all on the same account.
The home page also names X9 Trader and TradingView, and the accounts page names TradingView, but the broker publishes no download, link or connection guide for either. MetaTrader 5 is the only platform it shows you how to trade on.
