ATC Brokers review

The stated minimum deposit is $2,000, which places ATC Brokers at position 201 of 218 brands ranked on this measure. For contrast, CFI lists $0 and bunq €10. Anyone starting with a small balance will feel that gap immediately.

An international wire costs Intl wire USD 40, and that charge applies to deposits and withdrawals handled that way. Anyone funding or pulling larger sums should price the transfer into the account cost, since it sits on top of the $2,000 entry requirement.

ATC Brokers lists FCA and CIMA as its regulators, with UK licence number 591361 and Cayman Islands licence number 1448274. Investor protection is stated as FSCS up to GBP 85,000, which covers eligible balances with the regulated entity rather than trading losses.

The listed markets are forex, cfds and crypto, so currency pairs, contracts for difference, crypto and metals sit in one account. Shares, bonds, funds and ETFs do not appear on that list, which means a long term share portfolio needs a different kind of provider.

The platforms listed are MT4 and MT Pro, covering a standard MT4 setup alongside the own MT Pro platform. A demo account is included, demo account, so traders can check order handling and spreads on either platform before committing funds to a live account.

Retail leverage runs to 200:1, which magnifies gains and losses alike. Across the forex brokers in the ranking, 72.13% of retail accounts lose money, with results spread from 40.3% to 88%.

The stated audience is experienced, and the broker has traded since 2005. Leverage of 200:1 combined with a $2,000 minimum points the same way: this suits people who already work with these instruments rather than a first account.
