Pros and cons

Pros

  • A single account across stocks, etfs and forex, so currency, shares and digital assets sit side by side.
  • crypto, demo account and copy trading are part of the offer, so a demo account and copy trading are available before you fund.
  • Metatrader and TradingView are both supported, letting you keep charts and orders in the platform you prefer.

Cons

  • The $1,000 minimum deposit blocks anyone starting small, well above bunq at €10 and CFI at $0.
  • Leverage of 1:500 magnifies a losing run, and the median share of retail accounts that lose money across forex brokers is 72.13%.
  • Protection stops at FSCS up to GBP 85,000, so larger balances depend on the broker itself.

Who it suits

  • Experienced retail traders who want currency, CFDs, crypto, shares and ETFs together: stocks, etfs and forex.
  • People who want to try copy trading or practise in a demo first, both listed under crypto, demo account and copy trading.
  • Traders who prefer Metatrader or TradingView and can meet the $1,000 entry point, unlike CFI at $0.

Who should look elsewhere

  • Newcomers and small savers, since the $1,000 minimum deposit is far above bunq at €10 and CFI at $0.
  • Anyone who wants to hold money rather than trade it and would start smaller with bunq at €10.
  • Readers whose comparison is about credit rather than trading should look at Fiesta Credito MX, overseen by CONDUSEF.

Deposit protection

Regulation comes from FSA, FCA and MFSA, and each permission has a reference you can check: the UK registration is 612233, with two further registrations at C56519 and SD136. The stated investor protection is the Financial Services Compensation Scheme at FSCS up to GBP 85,000, which applies to eligible UK claims. Larger balances sit outside that cover.

The company behind it

The brand is operated by Alchemy Global Limited. Its registrations are 612233 with the FCA, C56519 with the MFSA and SD136 with the FSA. The same legal name appears behind the offer across those permissions, so the entity you deal with is the same in name whatever route you sign up through. Checking the reference with the regulator is a sensible step before funding.

Frequently asked questions

What is the minimum deposit at Alchemy Markets?+

The stated minimum deposit is $1,000. That is the amount needed before an account can be funded, and it sits far above the entry points most readers meet elsewhere, such as bunq at €10 and CFI at $0. Anyone starting with a small sum should compare those figures first.

How is my money protected?+

Investor protection is the Financial Services Compensation Scheme at FSCS up to GBP 85,000. The brand is regulated by FSA, FCA and MFSA, and each permission carries a reference: 612233 for the UK, C56519 for the Malta registration and SD136 for the remaining one.

Which markets can I trade on Alchemy Markets?+

The platform covers stocks, etfs and forex from a single account, so currency pairs sit alongside shares and digital assets rather than on separate desks. A demo account is listed among crypto, demo account and copy trading, which gives you a way to try the platforms before committing real money.

Which platforms does Alchemy Markets run on?+

Trading runs on Metatrader and TradingView. Metatrader handles the classic execution side, while TradingView covers charting and analysis, so analysis and orders can live in whichever environment you prefer. Copy trading is listed under crypto, demo account and copy trading for traders who would rather follow positions than place their own.

How much leverage can I use?+

Retail leverage runs to 1:500, the highest position size available to retail accounts. That works in both directions. The median share of retail accounts losing money across forex brokers is 72.13%, so a large deposit is easier to lose quickly.

Who runs Alchemy Markets?+

The company behind the brand is Alchemy Global Limited. It holds registrations under FSA, FCA and MFSA, with the UK permission recorded as 612233 and further registrations as C56519 and SD136. Any of those references can be checked with the relevant regulator before an account is funded.
