24markets is a South Africa-based broker launched in 2014, offering CFDs on Forex, indices, commodities, stocks, and crypto. While it features a range of platforms including MT5 and web-based trading, it falsely claims FSCA regulation under another companys license.
Pros | Cons |
Offers MT5 and a web platform | Cloned license |
Multiple account types with tiered benefits | Demo and Islamic accounts not available |
Supports Forex, stocks, crypto & more | Limited information of swap and inactivity fees |
The broker claims to be regulated by FSCA using license No. 50640, which actually belongs to DEDA CAPITAL MARKETS (PTY) LTD. However, the brokers name and domain do not match the licensed entity, clearly indicating a fake or cloned license intended to mislead users.

24Markets offers three live account types: Discovery, Prime, and Master. Each suits different trading levels—from beginners to professionals—with increasing benefits like tighter spreads, higher leverage (up to 1:500), and VIP services.
Account Type | Min Deposit | Key Features | Best For |
Discovery | $100 | 1.5 pip spreads, up to 100:1 leverage, no priority support, some education tools | Beginners |
Prime | $5,000 | 0.8 pip spreads, up to 300:1 leverage, 3 swap-free days, 3x weekly rep meetings | Intermediate traders |
Master | $20,000 | 0.3 pip spreads, up to 500:1 leverage, 7 swap-free days, full VIP features | Advanced/professional traders |
24Markets offers dynamic leverage of up to 1:500, depending on the account type. While high leverage can increase profits with little capital, it also increases the danger of significant losses without appropriate risk management.
Compared to industry standards, 24Markets trading fees are moderate to slightly high, especially for entry-level accounts. While spreads decrease with higher-tier accounts, the absence of transparent commission and swap rate details limits cost comparison for advanced traders.
Account Type | EUR/USD Spread (From) | Commission |
Discovery | 1.5 pips | $0 |
Prime | 0.8 pips | $0 |
Master | 0.3 pips | $0 |
Spreads: Start from 1.5 pips on the Discovery account and go as low as 0.3 pips on the Master account.
Commissions: No commissions are stated across all account types.
Swap Rates: Swap-free trading is available for up to 7 days on higher-tier accounts. Exact overnight swap fees are not publicly disclosed.
