Spec Markets について
Spec Markets is a relatively new forex and CFD broker operating under the trading name of Spec Capitals Ltd. The brand focuses on a straightforward two‑account lineup and the MetaTrader 5 (MT5) platform, positioning itself for traders who prioritize simple pricing, fast execution, and high available leverage. The company discloses regulation in Mauritius and services an international clientele while restricting several jurisdictions, including the United States.
Clients can trade major asset classes via CFDs – forex, precious metals, energies/commodities, stock indices, and a small crypto selection – with leverage limits that vary by product. Pricing is either spread‑only (Standard) or raw‑spread plus commission (ECN). The broker publishes typical examples such as spreads from 0.0 pips on ECN, a $3.50 per side commission ($7 round‑turn), and an advertised execution latency around 28ms on MT5. Contracts, swap information, and commissions are documented on the pricing pages and in legal documents.
Operationally, Spec Markets states that client funds are held in segregated accounts and that negative balance protection ("zero cut system") applies. However, the company’s risk disclosure clarifies that negative balance protection may be revoked in certain misuse scenarios, so traders should still size positions conservatively and monitor margin carefully. Funding options include cards, bank transfer/SWIFT, and stablecoins, with internal processing typically within 24 hours and bank delivery commonly 1–2 business days.
Based on its feature set and the single‑platform approach, Spec Markets may appeal most to active MT5 users – scalpers, day traders, algo/EAs, and metal or FX specialists – who are comfortable operating under Mauritius FSC oversight and value raw‑spread pricing and high leverage over multi‑platform choice or Tier‑1 regulation.

Safety and Regulations
Trading Regulators
Spec Markets is the trading name of Spec Capitals Ltd, authorized and regulated by the Financial Services Commission (FSC) of Mauritius. The broker discloses Company Number 224658 and Investment Dealer Licence No. GB252045999 across its legal pages and site footer. We confirmed the underlying corporate registration via the Legal Entity Identifier (LEI) record for Spec Capitals Ltd in Mauritius. The broker’s public pages also reference restricted jurisdictions (including the United States) and designate the Cyprus entity for payment processing only.
- Mauritius: Financial Services Commission (FSC) – Spec Capitals Ltd, Company No. 224658; Investment Dealer Licence No. GB252045999.
What we saw elsewhere: a South African website version references a local company and FSCA FSP number; however, the main specmarkets.com legal page lists only the Mauritius FSC licence. Traders should verify any additional entity claims directly on the FSCA public register before assuming coverage.
Client Fund Protection
Spec Markets states that client funds are held in segregated accounts separate from company funds. The brand also promotes a “zero cut system” (negative balance protection). However, its risk disclosure explains that negative balance protection can be revoked in cases of abuse or misuse, so it should not be treated as an absolute guarantee.
Mauritius does not operate an FSCS‑style statutory investor compensation scheme for CFD clients. Protection therefore relies on segregation, the firm’s capitalization/operations, and the Mauritius supervisory regime.
Security measures
The website indicates 256‑bit SSL encryption, segregated client accounts, and the use of MT5 with standard credential security. The Help Center also highlights KYC/AML processes and a security/compliance category. Traders can further reduce account risk by enabling platform‑level safeguards (strong passwords, limiting API/EAs to trusted sources) and by using prudent leverage and stop‑loss controls.
取引可能な商品
Spec Markets offers multi‑asset CFD trading centered on MT5. The lineup includes:
- Forex: about 60+ pairs across majors, minors, and select exotics. Leverage up to 1:1000; raw‑spread pricing available on ECN.
- Precious metals: Gold (XAUUSD) and Silver (XAGUSD) with leverage up to 1:1000 and tight spreads.
- Energies/commodities: UKOIL, USOIL, XNGUSD and others. The commodities page lists up to 1:1000 leverage with spread‑based pricing.
- Global indices: Popular baskets such as US500, NASDAQ, and Nikkei 225, with typical leverage up to 1:200 and no explicit commission.
- Crypto CFDs: A compact list (e.g., BTCUSD, ETHUSD) tradable 24/5 with up to 1:200 leverage and no commissions noted on the crypto page.
Instrument specifications, spreads, and leverage caps vary by product and are summarized on the product pages and pricing sections. Traders should check symbol‑level details and swap rates in the MT5 contract specifications before placing orders.
Account Types
Spec Markets structures pricing around two live accounts on MT5, plus a demo and an Islamic (swap‑free) option:
| Account | Min. Deposit | Spreads | Commission | Leverage (max) | Stop‑out | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Standard ("Pure Spread") | $50 | From ~1.0 pip (variable) | $0 | Up to 1:1000 (asset‑dependent) | 50% | Beginners and swing traders who prefer an all‑in spread. |
| ECN ("Raw Zero") | $50 | From 0.0 pips (variable) | $3.50 per side ($7 RT) per FX lot | Up to 1:1000 (asset‑dependent) | 50% | Scalpers, day traders, and EAs prioritizing low spread and predictable commission. |
Swap‑free (Islamic) mode can be applied to Standard and ECN accounts; instead of swaps, a holding fee may apply after a stated grace period (exceptions noted for specific symbols). All accounts support micro lots (0.01). Margin call is indicated at 100% with auto‑close beginning from 50%.
対応プラットフォーム
Spec Markets centers its execution on MetaTrader 5. Keeping a single, widely adopted platform simplifies onboarding for most retail and systematic traders while ensuring compatibility with a large ecosystem of indicators, EAs, and VPS providers.
- MetaTrader 4 (MT4)
- MetaTrader 5 (MT5)
MetaTrader 5 (MT5) – Multi‑asset platform with support for 21 timeframes, 38+ indicators, Depth of Market, one‑click trading, and integrated economic calendar. Traders can deploy Expert Advisors, run backtests, and manage positions from desktop, mobile (iOS/Android), or browser (WebTrader). The broker highlights low‑latency infrastructure and 99.9% uptime, with references to Equinix NY4 hosting for faster routing.
Mobile platforms – MT5 for iOS/Android enables order placement, charting, alerts, and account monitoring on the go. WebTrader is available for browser‑based access when installing a desktop terminal is not possible.
Choosing MT5 at Spec Markets – MT5 suits most discretionary FX/metal traders and many automation‑first users. ECN pricing with raw spreads benefits scalpers and EAs sensitive to spread costs; the Standard account offers a simpler spread‑only model. Regardless of account, traders should verify symbol specifications (contract size, margin%, swaps/holding fees) in the MT5 ‘Specification’ window prior to trading.
Trading Features
コピー取引
Spec Markets runs copy trading using Brokeree Solutions. Two roles exist: Strategy Providers (approved clients whose trades can be followed) and Followers (clients who choose strategies to replicate). Allocation is proportional, and users can set risk parameters and stop‑copy at any time. The terms clarify eligibility/KYC, platform‑administered fees (subscription or performance), and that the service is non‑advisory – past performance is not a guarantee of future results.
Rebates
The brand operates a points‑based Rewards Program. Every lot traded accrues points that can be redeemed for cashback on commissions or merchandise. Tiers published on the site reference Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Platinum, with higher tiers unlocking larger cashback percentages on ECN commissions. Standard accounts are spread‑only, so percentage cashback applies when commission is charged (e.g., ECN trades). Always review the active Rewards page in your region for eligibility and redemption rules.
| Tier | ECN (cashback on commission) | Standard (spread‑only) |
|---|---|---|
| Bronze | 5% | N/A |
| Silver | 10% | N/A |
| Gold | 15% | N/A |
| Platinum | 20% | N/A |
Commission and Fees
Trading costs depend on account type and instrument:
Spreads and Commissions
- ECN (Raw): variable raw spreads from 0.0 pips on major FX pairs plus a $3.50 per side ($7 round‑turn) commission per standard lot.
- Standard: variable spreads from ~1.0 pip with no per‑trade commission.
- Indices and crypto pages indicate no additional commission where pricing is embedded in the spread; verify symbol‑level specs in MT5.
Swaps / Overnight financing
Swaps (financing) apply on positions held past the platform’s rollover time; rates are visible in MT5 (Market Watch → Specification). Swap‑free (Islamic) setting removes interest adjustments but applies a published holding fee after a grace period for most symbols (exceptions noted, such as natural gas applying from day one).
Other fees and important notes
- Inactivity: not explicitly listed on the pricing pages; check the Client Agreement and your portal for any updates.
- Conversion: currency conversion may apply when the account base currency differs from the instrument’s currency.
- Execution/margin: margin call at 100%, stop‑out (auto‑close) from 50% of required margin per the risk disclosure.
- Negative balance: the site advertises a zero‑cut system, but the risk disclosure allows revocation in abuse cases; do not rely on it as unlimited protection.
As always, compare total cost (spread + commission + swaps/holding fees) for your strategy and hold time. ECN often suits scalpers and high‑frequency EAs; Standard may be simpler for swing traders who value an all‑in spread.
Deposits and Withdrawals
Deposits
- Methods: Local bank transfer (selected currencies: JPY, VND, IDR, MYR, THB, CNY), international SWIFT (USD/GBP/EUR), cards (Visa/Mastercard/JCB), and crypto/stablecoins (USDT TRC/USDT ERC, USDC ERC).

- Internal processing: the site advertises withdrawals processed within 24 hours; delivery via bank rails normally 1–2 business days depending on method and due‑diligence checks.
- Fees: broker fees listed as 0; merchant/handling fees may apply if an account deposits and withdraws without meaningful trading activity (per the funding policy).
