BrokerBazaar Overview

Independent

Founded in 2004, Tradeview Markets has developed a reputation as an execution-first brokerage catering to institutional and professional retail traders. The broker operates primarily through Tradeview Ltd, authorised as a full securities broker-dealer by the Cayman Islands Monetary Authority (CIMA Licence 585163), alongside its European subsidiary, Tradeview Europe Limited, regulated by the Malta Financial Services Authority (MFSA Licence IS/93990) under the European Union’s MiFID II framework.

The firm’s operational model centres on its Innovative Liquidity Connector (ILC), which routes orders directly to top-tier liquidity providers without dealing-desk intervention. While standard retail accounts (X-Leverage) feature spread markups starting at 1.0 pip with zero commission, the flagship ILC account delivers raw spreads from 0.0 pips paired with a competitive $5.00 per round-turn lot commission. Beyond OTC FX and CFDs, Tradeview provides direct market access to real US equities listed on major US exchanges via platforms like Sterling Trader Pro.

From a counterparty and funds safety perspective, client funds are held in segregated accounts with Tier-1 international banking institutions. European clients benefit from mandatory negative balance protection and access to the Maltese Investor Compensation Scheme, while international clients trading under the Cayman Islands entity trade under higher available leverage (up to 1:400) without statutory compensation fund coverage.

Which Tradeview Markets entity serves UAE residents

Tradeview Markets has not confirmed to BrokerBazaar whether it accepts UAE residents, and it lists no UAE-licensed entity. Availability should be treated as unconfirmed until the broker states it in writing.

Status on BrokerBazaar UAE: Availability not confirmed. "Available" is not the same as "regulated in the UAE": only a Capital Market Authority (CMA, formerly SCA), DFSA or FSRA licence gives you local supervision and a local complaints route.

Funding in AED and local payment methods

Tradeview Markets has not stated AED account denomination or UAE local bank transfer on its BrokerBazaar submission. Deposit methods listed: Bank Wire Transfer, Credit/Debit Cards, Neteller, Skrill, Cryptocurrencies. Expect USD-denominated accounts and a card or bank FX conversion fee unless the broker confirms AED wallets.

Withdrawal methods listed: Bank Wire Transfer, Credit/Debit Cards, Neteller, Skrill. UAE banks may query incoming payments from offshore brokers; keep your deposit records.

Islamic (swap-free) account for UAE traders

Tradeview Markets has not specified whether a swap-free account is offered. Ask before opening an account if this matters to you.

UAE-specific risk note

Because Tradeview Markets has no UAE licence on record, the CMA cannot intervene in a dispute. None of the recorded regulators is strict-tier, so recourse is limited. The CMA periodically publishes warnings about unlicensed platforms marketing to UAE residents; check its list before depositing.

Leveraged CFD trading carries a high risk of loss. Nothing on this page is personal financial advice.
