Tradeview Ltd. can keep whatever is left in a dormant account. It charges $50 a month once a funded account has been quiet for six months. You get two business days to object to a statement before your silence counts as agreement. The Arabic site sells Sharia compliant accounts that its own terms say no Sharia board has approved.

What the documents say

20 clauses worth knowing about, worst first, each quoted from TRADEVIEW MARKETS's own files

01

Stop trading for six months and Tradeview charges you $50 a month. At 180 days clause 13 stops you trading, depositing or withdrawing. After a year the account counts as dormant, and clause 13 says any funds still in it may be retained by Tradeview.

Why this matters

A small balance you forgot about can be charged down to nothing and then kept. You cannot rescue it by withdrawing, because the same clause blocks withdrawals from the day the account is marked inactive.

Exhibit 1CriticalRarely seen$50

Inactive Accounts which have not been reactivated for a period of one () year will be considered dormant and may be archived. Any funds that remain in Dormant accounts may be retained by Tradeview
Clause 13 in Client Agreement
Read from the broker's site on Archived copyOpen the reference

What it costsA $500 balance starts paying $50 a month in month six. By the end of the first year six monthly fees have taken $300 of it.

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

Firms licensed by the FCA may only write off a retail client's unclaimed money after years of no contact, and must undertake to pay it back if the client comes forward. This contract says funds remaining in a dormant account may be retained by Tradeview.

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

Our readingInactivity fees are normal. A fee of $50 every month sits at the very top of the market, and a clause letting the firm keep what is left in a dormant account is unusual: most firms hold unclaimed balances for the client.

What happens, and when

The stages this clause runs through, taken from the broker's own document
TriggerWhat the broker may then doClause
Day 180Tradeview marks the account inactive. You cannot trade, deposit or withdraw, and pending orders may be deleted.13
After 6 monthsA monthly fee of $50 starts on any funded account inactive that long.12
After 1 yearThe account becomes dormant and may be archived, and any funds left in it may be retained by Tradeview.13
  • Worse together with Exhibit 6The freeze starts at 180 days and the fee at six months, so the account is shut to withdrawals during the months the fee is eating it.
02

Tradeview can take back profit it decides you made on delayed or inaccurate pricing, under clause 5 of the Client Agreement. Clause 16 adds latency arbitrage, and lets Tradeview hold every withdrawal until it has settled the matter in its own sole and absolute discretion.

Why this matters

Your winnings can be removed and your payouts frozen on a judgement you cannot test. Neither clause sets a deadline for that investigation or gives you an appeal.

Exhibit 2CriticalHarder than usual

Client understands Tradeview is authorized to reclaim any trading profits Client obtains through trading on delayed or inaccurate pricing or via other instance of system or price manipulation as determined by Tradeview.
Clause 5 in Client Agreement
Read from the broker's site on Archived copyOpen the reference
Set against a regulated standard: FCA (UK), CySEC (Cyprus)

Firms licensed by the FCA and CySEC must handle a retail complaint to a published timetable and offer an independent scheme. Here the dispute is settled by Tradeview, in its sole and absolute discretion, while your withdrawals sit on hold.

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

  • Worse together with Exhibit 5Tradeview can adjust what your statement shows, and you then have two business days to object before that statement binds you.
03

Clause 9 of the Client Agreement has you grant Tradeview the right to pledge, re-pledge, lend or invest your property, on its own or pooled with other clients' property, to itself or to third parties. The same clause says Tradeview never has to hand back the identical property.

Why this matters

Your margin stops being money held aside for you and becomes something Tradeview can lend out. The homepage tells you the opposite, that client funds sit in segregated accounts.

Exhibit 3CriticalRarely seen

Client hereby also grants to Tradeview the right to pledge, re-pledge, hypothecate, invest or loan, either separately or with the property of other clients, to itself or to others, any securities or other property of Client held by Tradeview as margin or collateral.
Clause 9 in Client Agreement
Read from the broker's site on Archived copyOpen the reference
Set against a regulated standard: FCA (UK), ESMA (EU), CySEC (Cyprus)

Firms licensed by the FCA or under ESMA rules may not use a retail client's assets for their own account, and title transfer collateral arrangements with retail clients are not allowed. This contract has you grant that right.

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

Our readingPledging and re-pledging client assets is a prime brokerage device used between institutions. Pointed at a retail balance it means your collateral can be lent to the firm itself, and you get back a value rather than your own property.

04

Tradeview MENA advertises Sharia compliant, interest free Islamic accounts with no overnight charge however long you hold a position. Clause 11 of the terms on that same site says Tradeview does not represent that the account is approved by any Sharia supervisory board.

Why this matters

If you chose this broker because the account was described as halal, the contract behind it makes no such promise. The form you sign excludes crypto CFDs, oil and a list of currency pairs, and says adjustments on those will still be made.

You get two business days to object in writing to anything in your online statement. Clause 11 then makes it conclusive and binding, and treats your silence as acceptance and ratification of everything Tradeview did.

Why this matters

A wrong fill, a fee or a balance adjustment becomes final two business days after it appears online, whether or not you looked. Clause 11 adds that never receiving a confirmation does not excuse you from objecting in time.

Exhibit 5CriticalHarder than usual2 working days

Transaction confirmations of orders and statements of account for Client are made available solely online, shall be deemed correct and accurate, and shall be conclusive and binding upon Client if not objected to immediately to by Client, in writing to support@ tvmarkets.com, within two (2) business days of such activity being reviewable online.

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

Firms licensed by the FCA and CySEC give a retail client months to bring a complaint and an independent body to bring it to. This contract gives you two business days, and bars arbitration more than a year after the trade.

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

Tradeview's Withdrawal Policy says who you may withdraw to and in what order, and never says when. Requests are queued first in, first out by funding source, and money returned to a card cannot exceed what you put in on that card.

Why this matters

Profit above your card deposit can only leave through a bank account in your own name, so without one you cannot take your winnings out at all. With no stated timescale, a slow payout breaks no promise.

Exhibit 6CriticalHarder than usual

All withdrawal requests are processed on a First-in-First-Out (FIFO) basis according to the funding source of origination.
Quoted in Withdrawal policy, p.2
Read from the broker's site on Open the reference
Set against a regulated standard: FCA (UK), CySEC (Cyprus)

Firms licensed by the FCA and CySEC must tell a retail client what a withdrawal costs and how long it takes, and pay client money out promptly on request. This policy gives no timescale at all.

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

Two business days to object, then your silence is agreement

Clause 11 of the Tradeview Client Agreement gives you two business days to object to anything in your online statement, after which it is conclusive and binding. Clause 27 sends any dispute to arbitration in Grand Cayman, in English, on documents only, and bars a claim brought more than a year after the trade. In the Malta agreement, unauthorised trades in your account are binding on you and cannot be reversed.

Complaint window2 clauses flagged

Every dispute goes to arbitration at the Commercial Arbitration Court in Grand Cayman. Clause 27 says the language is English, the decision rests only on submitted documents, and no oral hearing is held. You waive the right to move the case elsewhere.

Why this matters

Your Spanish or Arabic contract sends you to an English language process on the other side of the world, where you never get to speak. For most clients that is the same as having no forum at all.

Exhibit 8CriticalHarder than usual

The language to be used in the arbitral proceedings shall be English and the place of arbitration shall be Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands. The arbitral tribunal shall consist of no more than two (2) arbitrators and all proceedings shall be conducted and decisions rendered based solely on the submission of documents and other such materials. No oral hearings or oral arguments shall be held.

Clause 9.6 of the Tradeview Europe agreement says you are bound by every transaction executed in your account whether or not it was authorised, and that those trades cannot be reversed. The same clause says Tradeview carries no liability for unauthorised orders.

Why this matters

If somebody else gets into your account and trades it, the losses are yours and the trades stand. Tradeview also says it has no duty to check whether an order was authorised.

Exhibit 9CriticalRarely seen

regardless of whether a Transaction was unauthorized, you are bound by all Transactions executed in your Account and that such Transactions may not be rescinded
Clause 9.6 in Client Agreement (Tradeview Europe Ltd.), p.5
Downloaded from the broker's site on Open the reference

Our readingMost agreements make the client responsible for keeping credentials safe. Declaring unauthorised trades binding and not rescindable goes further: it removes the question of who placed the order.

The Arabic bonus needs one standard lot for every $2 of credit

Tradeview MENA offers a 30% deposit bonus up to $10,000, published in Arabic only. Releasing it takes one standard lot traded for every $2 of bonus and 90 days with the deposit untouched. Withdraw earlier and a matching slice of the bonus goes with it. Clause 19 lets Tradeview cancel the trades, take the bonus back, return only your original deposit and close the account.

Bonus lock1 clause flagged

Tradeview MENA gives a 30% deposit bonus, in Arabic only, up to $10,000. Releasing it takes one standard lot traded for every $2 of bonus, and your deposit has to sit in the account for 90 days. Withdraw sooner and a matching slice of the bonus goes too.

Why this matters

The bonus you were given is also a lock on your own deposit. If Tradeview decides the offer was misused, clause 19 lets it cancel the trades, take the bonus back, return only your original deposit and close the account.

Exhibit 7CriticalHarder than usual30%

What it costsThe terms' own example: a $1,000 deposit earns a $300 bonus. Releasing that bonus needs 150 standard lots traded, and withdrawing $500 early costs you the $500 plus $150 of the bonus.

Tradeview can change what it charges you without telling you

Clause 12 of the Tradeview Client Agreement says it may adjust its charges without notice, and deduct them from your account as they arise. The website terms add that fees and charges may differ by location at Tradeview's exclusive and sole discretion. The swap free form lets Tradeview reverse interest credits it already gave you and start charging swaps again within 24 hours of an email.

Cost disclosure2 clauses flagged

Clause 12 of the Client Agreement says Tradeview may adjust its charges without notice, and that all charges come out of your account as they are incurred. The website terms add that fees and charges may differ by location at Tradeview's exclusive and sole discretion.

Why this matters

A cost you checked before depositing can change while your money is there, and the first you see of it is a smaller balance. The homepage tells you Tradeview does not hide costs.

Firms licensed by the FCA and CySEC must disclose costs and charges to a retail client before they trade, and give notice of changes. This contract reserves the right to adjust charges with no notice.

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

The swap free form lets Tradeview end your interest free terms the moment it decides you abused them, and reverse some or all of the swap credits it already gave you. Clause 8 of the Client Agreement lets it start charging interest again at any time, for any reason, without telling you.

Why this matters

Charges you thought you would never pay can be put back on positions you already hold. You get 24 hours from the revocation email to close them before swaps start running again.

Exhibit 13WarningHarder than usual

In connection with such abuse Tradeview reserves the absolute right in its sole discretion and without liability to the Client to reverse a portion of or all swap credit granted in connection with the Swap Free Account and to apply the credited swap points to open positions.
Clause 3 in Swap free acknowledgement, p.2
Read from the broker's site on Open the reference

Tradeview can change the rules, and you must check the site weekly

Clause 31 of the Tradeview Client Agreement lets it change any rule at its sole discretion, effective immediately. It says clients may or may not receive notice, and asks you to check the notices page at least once a week. In the Malta agreement, emailing to disagree with a change counts as your notice to close the account and your agreement to close every open position at once.

Unilateral change2 clauses flagged

Clause 31 lets Tradeview change any rule at its sole discretion, with the change taking effect at once. It says clients may or may not receive notice, and asks you to check the notices page on its website at least once a week.

Why this matters

The terms you agreed to can be replaced while you hold positions, and the duty to find out is yours. Missing a week of checking does not stop the new rule applying to you.

Exhibit 15WarningHarder than usual

Clients may or may not receive notice of such modification, amendment or change but such modifications, amendments or changes will be posted on Tradeview’s website.
Clause 31 in Client Agreement
Read from the broker's site on Archived copyOpen the reference

In the Tradeview Europe agreement, emailing to say you do not accept an amendment is treated as your notice to terminate, unless Tradeview replies within 48 hours and waives the change for you. You then agree to close all open positions immediately.

Why this matters

Objecting costs you the account, and if you do not close your positions Tradeview may close them as it sees fit. That turns a disagreement about terms into realised losses.

Exhibit 16WarningRarely seen

Unless Respond to you within 48 hours and agree to waive the amendment as it applies to you, your email notice will be deemed to be a notice of termination and you agree to immediately close all open positions.
Quoted in Client Agreement (Tradeview Europe Ltd.), p.1
Downloaded from the broker's site on Open the reference

Our readingAgreements normally let a client reject a change and leave without penalty at their own pace. Converting the objection itself into a termination notice, with positions to be closed at once, is unusual.

Tradeview decides which of its six companies holds your account

Clause 2 of the Tradeview Client Agreement puts your account at whichever Tradeview entity it decides on, in its sole discretion. Its own regulation page lists six companies, in the Cayman Islands, Peru, Labuan, Mauritius, Malta and the United Arab Emirates. The governing law clauses do not agree either: the Cayman website terms name Maltese law, the Client Agreement names Cayman law, and the Arabic terms name the laws of Cayman Islands - Ltd. Peru - SAC.

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.

Counterparty choice2 clauses flagged

Clause 2 of the Client Agreement opens your account at whichever Tradeview entity Tradeview decides on, in its sole discretion. Its own regulation page lists six companies, in the Cayman Islands, Peru, Labuan, Mauritius, Malta and the United Arab Emirates.

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

Which company you end up with decides whether you get segregation, negative balance protection and a regulator to complain to. You do not make that choice.

Exhibit 17WarningHarder than usual6

Client understands, acknowledges and agrees that by executing this Agreement, and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, an account will be established in the Client’s name at an appropriate Tradeview entity which Tradeview in its sole discretion may determine.
Clause 2 in Client Agreement
Read from the broker's site on Archived copyOpen the reference
  • Worse together with Exhibit 18Tradeview chooses the entity, and the governing law clauses then disagree about which country's law covers you.

The Cayman website terms say Maltese law governs any agreement you have with Tradeview, while the Cayman Client Agreement says Cayman Islands law does. The Arabic terms say your agreement is governed by the laws of Cayman Islands - Ltd. Peru - SAC.

Why this matters

If you ever need to enforce anything, the first fight is about which country's law applies. Tradeview's own documents give three different answers to that.

Exhibit 18WarningRarely seen

The Terms and Conditions governing access to and the use of this website and any other agreement you have entered into with Tradeview are governed by the laws of Malta without regard to its conflicts of laws provisions.
Clause 8 in Terms and Conditions
Read from the broker's site on Open the reference

Our readingA governing law clause is the one line in a contract that must be unambiguous. Naming two entities and two countries inside the clause itself leaves nothing a reader can rely on.

Tradeview can hold any withdrawal until it has the documents it wants

Clause 19 of the Tradeview Client Agreement lets it delay, cancel or postpone a withdrawal of any size until you send identification and proof of address. Once it has those, the same clause lets it ask for more. Clause 2 gives you 30 days to report a change in your circumstances, and lets Tradeview deactivate or close the account if you do not.

Verification hold1 clause flagged

Clause 19 lets Tradeview delay, cancel or postpone your trading or your withdrawal, whatever the amount, until you have sent identification and proof of address. Once it has those, the same clause lets it ask for more.

Why this matters

The document request can land at payout time rather than at sign up, and nothing limits how often it is repeated. Clause 2 gives you 30 days to report a change in your circumstances before Tradeview may deactivate or close the account.

Exhibit 14WarningHarder than usual30 days

Client further agrees that Tradeview has the authority to delay, cancel or otherwise postpone trading or the depositing/withdrawing of funds, regardless of amount, until Client has provided copies of unexpired government issued identification and/or address verification documentation as required.

Six quiet months cost $50 a month, and a dormant balance can be kept

Tradeview charges $50 a month once a funded account has been inactive for six months, under clause 12 of its Client Agreement. At 180 days clause 13 blocks trading, deposits and withdrawals. After a year the account is dormant and clause 13 says any funds left in it may be retained by Tradeview. The website terms state a different rule for the same fee, and the Malta terms start charging after one month.

In plain words

Dormancy means an account left unused.

Dormancy2 clauses flagged

The Client Agreement charges $50 every month after six inactive months. The website terms, for the same company, charge the lesser of your remaining balance or $50 for any six month period without a trade, then archive the account at zero.

Why this matters

You cannot tell from Tradeview's own documents whether a quiet year costs you $50 or $600. On the website version the fee is written so that it takes your whole remaining balance when that balance is under $50.

Exhibit 11WarningHarder than usual$50

If no trades have been executed in your account within any 6-month period, your account will be subject to an inactivity fee. The fee will be equal to the lesser of the remaining balance in your account or $50. If your account balance is reduced to zero (0), your account will automatically be archived.
Clause 9 in Terms and Conditions
Read from the broker's site on Open the reference

Tradeview Europe charges an inactivity fee if no trade is executed in any one month period. The fee is the lesser of your remaining balance or $10, so a balance under $10 is taken in full.

Why this matters

A month away from the screen is enough to start the charge. Four quiet months at $10 clear a $40 balance, and after six inactive months the account is archived.

Exhibit 12WarningRarely seen$10

If no trades have been executed in your account within any 1-month period,your account will be subject to an inactivity fee. The fee will be equal to the lesser of the remaining balance in your account or $10. If your account balance is reduced to zero (0), after an inactivity period of 6 month your account will automatically be archived.
Clause 10 in Terms and Conditions
Read from the broker's site on Open the reference

What it costsA $40 balance with no trades loses $10 a month. Four months later it is zero.

Our readingInactivity fees usually start after three, six or twelve months. A one month trigger leaves no room for a holiday, and a fee defined as the lesser of your balance or $10 can never be refused for want of funds.

The Spanish terms give a Peruvian company a Cayman licence

Tradeview Financial Markets S.A.C. is registered with Peru's company registry, SUNARP, under number 13089531, as its own cover pages say. Clause 7 of the Spanish terms then calls the same company a licensed broker dealer in the Cayman Islands, at Tradeview Ltd.'s address. CIMA licence 585163 belongs to Tradeview Ltd. Cayman clients are also pointed to a compliance mailbox, while Malta clients get the Office of the Arbiter for Financial Services.

Licence and entity2 clauses flagged

The Spanish terms open by saying Tradeview Financial Markets S.A.C. is registered with Peru's company registry, SUNARP, under number 13089531. Clause 7 of the same document then calls that company a licensed broker dealer in the Cayman Islands, at Tradeview Ltd.'s address.

Why this matters

Reading your own contract in Spanish, you would believe your counterparty holds the Cayman licence. The CIMA licence, 585163, belongs to Tradeview Ltd., a different company.

Exhibit 19WarningRarely seen

Our readingGroup documents often share wording between entities. Here the entity name was swapped and the licence sentence was left in place, so one document describes the same company as both a Peruvian registration and a Cayman licensee.

Tradeview's Facts & Policy page promises an answer within 2 business days and says independent review channels are available. For Tradeview Ltd. clients the only route the contract names is arbitration in Grand Cayman, and no ombudsman or compensation scheme is named anywhere in that document set.

Why this matters

Tradeview Europe clients can take a complaint to the Office of the Arbiter for Financial Services in Malta, free. If your account sits with the Cayman company, that door does not exist for you.

The documents this reading is based on

24 files, all published by TRADEVIEW 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 TRADEVIEW MARKETS publishes.

Who the contract is with

Tradeview Ltd.

Tradeview Ltd. is the company behind tradeviewmarkets.com, registered in the Cayman Islands and licensed by CIMA under number 585163. It is not the company every client gets. The Spanish version of the same site contracts through Tradeview Financial Markets S.A.C. of Lima, Peru, which its own documents describe as registered with the Peruvian company registry SUNARP under number 13089531, with no financial regulator named. The Arabic site at tradeviewmena.com advertises supervision in the United Arab Emirates, while the terms on that site name the same Peruvian company, and its regulation page marks the UAE entity as available only to UAE nationals. Clause 2 of the Client Agreement leaves the choice to Tradeview: your account is opened at whichever Tradeview entity it decides on. Tradeview Europe Ltd., Malta company C93990 and MFSA licensed, is the one entity whose contract promises segregation and negative balance protection.

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

Tradeview publishes more than most brokers do. One open shelf holds the client agreement, the electronic trading agreement, the risk disclosure, the withdrawal, refund and AML policies and the swap free form, in English and Spanish, each dated on its cover. The Refund Policy promises your deposit back on request at any point in the life of the account, and says there is no time restriction on asking. Tradeview Europe's client agreement is the better document: it says your money sits in a segregated client custody account, it gives retail clients negative balance protection on forex and CFDs, and the Malta complaints procedure acknowledges in 1 business day, replies within fifteen working days and names the Office of the Arbiter for Financial Services. The Arabic site also prints the share of retail accounts that lose money with this provider, 64%.

Tradeview publishes well over a hundred files across its document shelves. This review covers the ones that set fees, withdrawals, complaints, dormancy and account closure. It does not cover the copy trading documents, the futures and market data term sheets, the powers of attorney, the commission and introducing broker agreements, or a complaints policy labelled for the United Kingdom. The Malta client agreement, the Spanish client agreement, the Spanish website terms and the Arabic website terms are covered only for the subjects reviewed, not in full. Some sentences of the Malta AML policy cannot be read reliably, so they are not quoted. No earlier version of any of these documents is available for comparison.

How to check any of this yourself

Every quote above links to the TRADEVIEW 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 TRADEVIEW 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 TRADEVIEW 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 Oct 11, 2026.

If you represent TRADEVIEW 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 TRADEVIEW MARKETS. Whether its licence is real and current is a separate check on the broker profile.
