Windsor Brokers was founded in 1988 and provides access to CFD trading on over 200 assets including currency pairs, stocks, commodities, cryptocurrencies, ETFs, and indices using the MetaTrader 4 trading platform. The minimum initial deposit required here is USD 50. The maximum leverage available is 1000:1 and traders are protected by negative balance protection.
Windsor Brokers offers two types of real accounts called ZERO and PRIME.
ZERO Account: The minimum initial deposit required to open this type of account is USD 1,000. There is no markup on the spread in this account, but there is a commission of 8 USD for each lot traded. The maximum leverage available is 1000:1 and the Stop Out level is set at 20%. A so-called Margin Call is carried out by sending an email requesting new funds at a margin of 100%. The company recommends the ZERO account as the most suitable for active traders because of the low spreads.
PRIME Account: The company recommends the PRIME account for beginners and those who trade less frequently. No commissions are charged for this account, but on the other hand, EUR/USD spreads are significantly wider and for the major currency pairs start from 1 pip. A relatively low investment of USD 50 is required to open the account. An Islamic version of the account is available where no interest swap is charged. Like the ZERO account, the maximum available leverage is 1000:1 and you can hedge your positions. The Stop Out level is set at 20% and margin call level is 100%.
Windsor Brokers offers MetaTrader 4 (MT4) platform to its clients. The terminal is very reliable, has low hardware requirements and can run smoothly on any modern computer. The platform offers the widest range of trading robots, so-called Expert Advisors (EA), with which trading is automated under set conditions. A mobile version of MT4 and a web trading terminal are available.
