The rating, decomposed
TabTrade review
What produced TabTrade's rating - every factor, shown separately.
TabTrade scores among the strongest we assess. Regulated by Financial Services Commission Mauritius (FSC), Investment Dealer (Full Service Dealer, excluding Underwriting), Licence GB26206419, offering MetaTrader 5. What follows is drawn from the broker's own published material and covers the things that decide the account you end up with: who oversees them, what trading actually costs, and where the compromises sit.
Our rating
One rating, identical across our sites - only the way it is shown changes. It weighs regulation, trading costs, platform quality and how openly the broker publishes its terms.
What it costs to trade
- Spread from
- 0.0 pips
- Minimum deposit
- $0
A quoted spread from 0.0 pips is a raw-spread figure, which almost always means a separate commission per lot. Compare the two together - a "zero spread" account with a high commission can cost more than a wider spread with none.
Quoted spreads are best-case figures on the most liquid pair, in normal conditions. What you actually pay widens around news and at the session open.
TabTrade lists a minimum deposit of $0. Treat it as the cost of opening an account, not the cost of trading one - position sizing on a small balance is what tends to cause damage.
Platforms
- Trading software
- MetaTrader 5
MetaTrader 5 handles more asset classes and order types than MT4, but expert advisors are not compatible between the two - an MT4 EA will not run on it.
Leverage, markets and funding
- Maximum leverage
- 1:1000
- Markets
- Forex, Shares, Indices, Commodities, Metals, Futures CFDs, Cryptocurrencies
- Funding
- Visa, Mastercard, bank transfer, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Skrill, Neteller, cryptocurrency, 50+ local payment methods
Leverage up to 1:1000 is available on this entity. High leverage does not increase your expected return - it increases position size for the same deposit, and shortens the move needed to close you out.
TabTrade covers forex, shares, indices, commodities, metals, futures cfds, cryptocurrencies. A wider range matters less than depth in the instruments you actually trade.
Funding options: visa, mastercard, bank transfer, apple pay, google pay, skrill, neteller, cryptocurrency, 50+ local payment methods. Check withdrawal routes as well as deposit ones - they are often not the same, and the difference only becomes apparent when you try to take money out.
Regulation and safety
- Regulated by
- Financial Services Commission Mauritius (FSC), Investment Dealer (Full Service Dealer, excluding Underwriting), Licence GB26206419
TabTrade's licence is offshore (FSC). Offshore entities typically offer higher leverage and lighter reporting, and compensation schemes do not apply - the trade-off is protection, not price.
An FSC licence (Mauritius or Belize, depending on the entity) is an offshore authorisation with lighter reporting duties than a tier-one regulator.
