ELEV8

Sobre ELEV8

Elev8 is a global CFD broker that emerged as an independent brand in 2026 following a strategic separation from the Octa brokerage group. The transition primarily involved a rebranding effort, while the underlying trading infrastructure, platforms, and operational systems remained in place, allowing the broker to maintain continuity for existing clients.

The broker operates through licensed entities in Mauritius and Comoros and provides access to a multi-asset trading environment covering forex, cryptocurrencies, commodities, indices, and shares through CFDs. Elev8 offers both MetaTrader platforms and its proprietary Elev8 Trader platform, giving traders access to advanced charting tools, automated trading capabilities, and fast execution across multiple devices.

Elev8 is designed as an all-in-one trading ecosystem that integrates trading, analytics, and educational tools. The platform includes market research, technical analysis, webinars, and learning materials to support traders at different experience levels.

With infrastructure supporting millions of traders globally and operations across more than 100 countries, Elev8 combines established brokerage technology with a new brand identity focused on modern trading solutions and expanded global reach.

Safety and Regulations

Trading Regulators

Elev8 operates under licenses issued by the following regulatory authorities:

• Financial Services Commission (FSC) - Mauritius

  • Investment Dealer Licence No. GB21027161

• Mwali International Services Authority (MISA) - Comoros

  • International Brokerage and Clearing House Licence No. T2023320

These licenses allow Elev8 to legally provide trading services in forex, CFDs, commodities, cryptocurrencies, and other financial instruments to global clients.

The broker currently operates under these offshore regulatory entities while also planning to obtain additional licenses in other jurisdictions to strengthen its regulatory footprint and expand global market access.

Security

Elev8 operates under licensed investment dealer and brokerage authorizations, which require compliance with financial industry standards, including anti-money laundering (AML) and know-your-customer (KYC) procedures. These compliance measures are designed to verify client identities, prevent financial fraud, and ensure lawful trading operations.

The broker’s licensing framework also requires formal legal documentation, including customer agreements, risk disclosures, AML policies, and complaint procedures, which define the relationship between the broker and its clients and ensure operational transparency.

Elev8 continues to operate using the same infrastructure, trading systems, and operational processes previously established under its former brand structure, ensuring continuity in trading execution and client account management.

Transparency

Elev8 maintains transparency by publishing its licensing information, legal documentation, and corporate registration details. The broker operates under registered investment dealer entities and provides official legal disclosures outlining trading conditions, client rights, and operational policies.

As part of its independent brand transition, Elev8 confirmed that the change primarily involved rebranding rather than operational restructuring. The broker continues to use its existing licensed entities, ensuring continuity in regulatory oversight and trading services.

While Mauritius and Comoros provide regulatory oversight and licensing frameworks, these jurisdictions are considered offshore regulators and offer more flexible trading conditions compared to stricter Tier-1 regulators such as the FCA or ASIC. However, Elev8’s licensing structure still provides formal regulatory authorization and legal operational status.

Instrumentos Negociáveis

Elev8 provides access to a range of tradable instruments through CFD trading, allowing clients to speculate on price movements across multiple global financial markets. These instruments are accessible through supported trading platforms and offer both long and short trading opportunities using leveraged contracts.

Forex

Elev8 offers access to the global foreign exchange market, allowing traders to speculate on major, minor, and exotic currency pairs. Forex trading enables participation in the world’s largest financial market, with instruments such as EUR USD, GBP USD, USD JPY, and AUD USD commonly available.

Forex trading at Elev8 supports leveraged positions, flexible lot sizing, and real time execution, making it suitable for both short term and long term trading strategies.

Commodities

Commodity CFDs allow traders to access key raw materials without owning the physical asset. Elev8 provides trading on precious metals and energy products, including gold and silver, as well as oil benchmarks such as crude oil.

Commodity instruments are commonly used for portfolio diversification and can also serve as hedging tools during periods of inflation or market uncertainty.

Indices

Elev8 offers index CFDs that represent major global stock market benchmarks. These instruments allow traders to gain exposure to broader market performance rather than individual companies.

Examples of commonly available indices include major US, European, and Asian benchmarks. Index trading enables traders to speculate on overall market trends and economic performance.

Shares

Elev8 provides share CFDs, allowing traders to speculate on price movements of publicly listed companies without directly purchasing the underlying stock. Share CFDs allow traders to benefit from both rising and falling prices while using leverage.

This enables access to companies listed on major global exchanges, offering exposure to sectors such as technology, finance, energy, and consumer goods.

Cryptocurrencies

Elev8 also offers cryptocurrency CFDs, allowing traders to speculate on digital asset price movements without owning the underlying coins. Cryptocurrency trading provides exposure to highly volatile markets, including major assets such as Bitcoin and Ethereum.

Crypto CFDs allow traders to participate in digital asset markets with leverage and flexible position sizing, without the need for crypto wallets or direct ownership.

Account Types

Elev8 offers a relatively streamlined account structure designed to accommodate both beginner and experienced traders. While the broker does not heavily differentiate between multiple complex account tiers, it focuses on accessibility, flexible trading conditions, and promotional incentives.

This is particularly useful for beginners learning the platform or for experienced traders testing new strategies.

These accounts remove overnight interest charges, although alternative fees or conditions may apply.

Commission and Fees

Trading Fees

Elev8 follows a spread-based pricing model across its platforms, meaning most trading costs are included directly in the spread rather than charged as separate commissions. Elev8 also maintains a relatively low non-trading fee environment, with no account maintenance fees and minimal entry barriers.

Forex and CFD Trading

Elev8 applies a spread-only pricing model for forex, indices, commodities, shares, and cryptocurrencies. This means traders do not pay separate commissions, as all trading costs are built into the spread.

• Spreads start from approximately 0.6 pips, depending on the instrument and liquidity conditions

• Major currency pairs such as EUR/USD typically average around 1.0–1.2 pips

• No separate commission is charged on trades across MT4, MT5, or the proprietary platform

This structure simplifies cost calculation and is particularly suitable for beginner and intermediate traders.

Spreads and Execution Costs

Spreads represent the primary trading cost at Elev8. These spreads are variable and may change depending on:

• Market volatility

• Liquidity conditions

• Trading session (e.g., during news releases or low-volume periods)

Typical spread examples include:

• EUR/USD: around 1.1 pips

• NASDAQ (NAS100): around 2.4 pips

• Gold (XAU/USD): around 5.0 pips

• Bitcoin (BTC/USD): around 3.0 pips

As with most CFD brokers, spreads may widen during periods of increased volatility. Execution quality, including slippage, may also affect final trading costs.

Overnight and Funding Fees

Elev8 offers swap-free trading conditions on many accounts, meaning no overnight interest is charged on positions held beyond the daily rollover period.

This feature is particularly relevant for:

• Traders holding positions long-term

• Traders requiring Islamic (Sharia-compliant) accounts

In some cases, alternative administrative fees may apply depending on the instrument and holding duration.
