TRADEVIEW MARKETS: SCA licence CP-0000757

Support is reachable by phone on +1 (345) 945 6271, by email at support@tradeviewmarkets.com for account issues and operation@tradeviewmarkets.com for general enquiries, and by live chat during business hours. The desk is staffed 24 hours a day, five days a week, in English, Spanish, Chinese, Portuguese and Korean, and the broker keeps a help centre at docs.tradeviewmarkets.com.

Withdrawal requests are usually processed within 24 hours, after which a bank wire can take up to three business days to arrive. Withdrawals have to use the same method as the deposit, a card or wallet payout cannot exceed what was deposited through it, and anything above that is paid out by bank wire. Payments are only made to an account in the same name as the trading account, and third party payments are not accepted.

Costs depend on the tier. The ILC and EDGE accounts price spreads from 0.0 pips and charge commission instead, 5 USD per round turn on ILC and from 4 USD per round turn on EDGE, while XLev charges no commission and builds the cost into a variable spread. Tradeview Europe's ILC account charges 2.50 EUR per standard lot per side, and futures are priced from 0.99 USD per standard contract per side and 0.49 USD per micro contract per side.

The main site offers five: XLev from 100 USD with no commission, ILC from 1,000 USD at 5 USD per round turn, EDGE raw pricing from 4 USD per round turn, an MT5 futures account from 500 USD and a CQG futures account from 1,000 USD. Tradeview Europe publishes ILC and XLev accounts in euro, and the MENA site publishes ILC, XLev and an Islamic swap free account. Terms differ by site, so check the tier on the site that serves your region.

The brand is operated by Tradeview Ltd., a Cayman Islands company, and five further group companies are recorded alongside it: Tradeview Europe Ltd. in Malta, TVM Global Ltd. in Labuan, Malaysia, iLC Brokers Ltd. in Mauritius, Tradeview Financial Markets S.A.C in Peru and Tradeview Financial Advisors LLC in the United Arab Emirates. Which company a client contracts with depends on the website and region they sign up through, so the entity named in the client agreement is worth reading before funding an account.

On the main site, where accounts are opened with Tradeview Ltd., the entry minimum is 100 USD on the XLev account, which carries leverage of up to 1:400, the highest account cap there; ILC starts at 1,000 USD with leverage up to 1:200, EDGE publishes no minimum and caps leverage at 1:100, and the MT5 and CQG futures accounts start at 500 USD and 1,000 USD. The main site's trading overview page also advertises leverage of up to 1:500 without naming an account. Tradeview Europe Ltd. publishes ILC from 1,000 EUR and XLev with no minimum deposit, and the MENA site publishes ILC and XLev with no minimum deposit and leverage of up to 1:500.

Tradeview Markets publishes no deposit or withdrawal fee schedule on its funding pages, so no deposit fee and no card, wallet or bank wire withdrawal fee is stated anywhere on the site; its help centre says the fees for each method are shown in the client cabinet before a request is submitted. Under the Withdrawal Policy, currency conversion costs are the client's to bear, and no page says who pays intermediary or receiving bank charges on a wire. The CQG futures account carries a separate platform fee of 25 USD a month.

For forex and CFDs Tradeview Markets offers MetaTrader 4, MetaTrader 5 and cTrader, each on desktop, web and mobile. For real stocks it lists Sterling Trader Pro, Takion, DAS Trader and EQView, with monthly software fees of 250 USD for Sterling and Takion and 180 USD for DAS while EQView is free, and MetaTrader 5 also carries stocks at 0.01 USD per share. For futures it lists CQG Desktop, at 25 USD a month, and MultiCharts, and MetaTrader 5 carries futures too. MetaTrader 5 is one platform offered through two companies: Tradeview Ltd. on the main site and Tradeview Europe Ltd. on tradeview.eu for clients of its Malta entity.

Five licences are recorded for the Tradeview group and each was confirmed on the issuing authority's own register. Tradeview Ltd. holds Cayman Islands Monetary Authority licence 585163, a full securities investment business licence effective from 4 April 2012; Tradeview Europe Limited holds a Malta Financial Services Authority investment firm authorisation effective from 29 September 2021, limited to receiving and transmitting orders; TVM Global Limited holds a money broking licence from the Labuan Financial Services Authority in Malaysia; and iLC Brokers Ltd. holds a Financial Services Commission of Mauritius investment dealer licence, on the register since 16 December 2020. Tradeview Financial Advisors L.L.C holds UAE Capital Market Authority licence CP-0000757 for introduction and promotion only, which the authority says does not permit brokerage or spot forex. The licences sit with different companies, so the protections attached to one do not extend to clients of another, and the Cayman licence carries no client fund insurance. Alberta's securities commission lists Tradeview Forex, also operating as Tradeview Ltd., on its investment caution list as not registered there, and our published investigation rates the broker high risk but finds it is not a clone.
