Safety and Regulations

Trading Regulators

Zero Markets operates under a multi-entity regulatory framework with oversight from several financial authorities, giving traders different levels of regulatory protection depending on the jurisdiction under which they open an account.

Zero Markets is regulated by:

• Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) in Australia

• Financial Markets Authority (FMA) in New Zealand

• Financial Services Commission (FSC) in Mauritius

• Financial Services Authority (FSA) in Seychelles

Security

Zero Markets implements several protective measures aimed at securing client funds and data integrity. Client funds are held in segregated accounts at reputable financial institutions, ensuring that they are separated from the company’s operational capital and cannot be used for corporate liabilities or risk obligations. This segregation helps protect client assets in cases of financial stress or bankruptcy.

The broker also maintains internal compliance procedures, including regular financial reporting and audit schedules designed to monitor risk controls and governance practices. These mechanisms help ensure that operational practices align with regulatory requirements across its licensed entities.

In terms of trading risk, some Zero Markets entities offer negative balance protection, meaning that clients cannot lose more than the funds in their trading accounts even during periods of extreme volatility. This protection is primarily associated with the ASIC-regulated entity, where such safeguards are standard practice.

Zero Markets also enforces global Know Your Customer (KYC) and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) procedures during account onboarding and ongoing operations. These checks help prevent fraud, ensure compliance with international financial crime regulations, and protect the broader financial system.

Transparency

Zero Markets emphasizes transparency through clear disclosure of its regulatory licenses, client agreements, risk warnings, fee structures, and margin policies. Prospective clients can review legal documentation that outlines the terms of service, obligations of both parties, and key risk factors associated with leveraged CFD trading.

Client money handling procedures, including fund segregation and reporting practices, are articulated in official documentation, giving traders visibility into how their funds are managed. Zero Markets’ licensing across multiple entities also means that operational requirements are supervised by different regulators, each with specific reporting and compliance standards.

İşlem Görülebilen Enstrümanlar

Zero Markets provides clients with access to a broad range of CFD markets across multiple asset classes, including forex, indices, commodities, shares, ETFs, metals, and cryptocurrencies. The offering is designed to support diversified trading strategies with flexible leverage options depending on the regulatory entity and client status.

Tradable Assets and Markets at Zero Markets

Forex

Forex trading is a key focus at Zero Markets, with more than 50 currency pairs available covering major, minor, and selected exotic pairs. This breadth gives traders the flexibility to execute a variety of strategies across global currency markets.

Retail clients’ leverage on forex can reach up to 1:500, providing significant exposure for active currency traders, though actual leverage limits vary by regulatory entity and risk profile.

Indices

Zero Markets allows traders to speculate on a range of major global stock indices, including US, European, and Asian benchmarks. Indices CFDs give exposure to broad market movements and are commonly used for macro, sentiment, and trend trading strategies.

Typical leverage offered on indices is up to 1:100, reflecting the larger notional values and volatility characteristics of these instruments.

Commodities

The commodities suite at Zero Markets includes energy products and soft commodities, allowing traders to take positions on price movements driven by supply-demand dynamics, inventory releases, and geopolitical developments.

Commodity CFDs generally carry leverage up to 1:100, providing meaningful exposure while aligning with risk parameters for larger, macro-oriented markets.

Metals

Zero Markets offers CFDs on both precious and industrial metals, including gold, silver, and other metal markets. Metals are frequently used for hedging, volatility trading, and diversification from currency and equity exposure.

Leverage on metals is often up to 1:500 for retail clients under more flexible entities, though specific limits are dependent on the regulatory entity governing the account.

Shares and ETFs

Zero Markets provides one of its more extensive product sets in share CFDs, with access to hundreds of global equities. Traders can take long and short positions on individual stocks without owning the underlying asset.

In addition to shares, the broker also offers a selection of ETF CFDs, allowing exposure to baskets of assets or sector-focused strategies in a single instrument. Share and ETF CFDs typically feature lower leverage, commonly up to 1:20 for retail clients, reflecting equity risk and gap exposure.

Cryptocurrencies

Zero Markets supports CFD trading on a range of cryptocurrencies, including major digital assets like Bitcoin, Ethereum, and other popular coins. Crypto CFDs allow traders to participate in digital asset price movements without holding the underlying tokens.

Due to inherent volatility, leverage on cryptocurrency CFDs is more conservative, often capped at 1:5 to 1:20, depending on the asset and regulatory conditions.

Account Types

Zero Markets offers a simple but flexible account structure designed to meet the needs of both beginner traders and more experienced market participants. The broker’s account options are built around pricing models that vary in spreads and commissions, allowing traders to select the structure that best fits their trading style and cost preferences.

Account Options at Zero Markets

Standard Account

The Standard Account at Zero Markets is suited for traders who prefer spread-based pricing without separate commission charges. Trading costs are incorporated directly into the spreads, which typically start from around 1.0 pips on major forex pairs.

Key features of the Standard Account:

This account is generally suitable for new traders or those who prefer simpler cost structures and wider spreads embedded within pricing.

Super Zero Account

For traders seeking tighter spreads and greater cost transparency, the Super Zero Account presents an alternative pricing model. This account offers raw or near-zero spreads, with a fixed commission charged per traded lot, commonly around USD 2.50 per side (USD 5 round-turn).

Key features of the Super Zero Account:

• Minimum opening balance: around 100 AUD or equivalent

• Spreads: from 0.0 pips on major forex pairs

• Commission: Approximately USD 2.50 per side for forex trades

This account type is typically preferred by active traders, scalpers, and algorithmic traders who benefit from tight spreads and clear per-lot commission structures.

Islamic (Swap-Free) Accounts

Zero Markets also supports Islamic (swap-free) accounts for traders who require Sharia-compliant trading conditions. These accounts are available in both the Standard and Super Zero pricing models and function without overnight swap or interest charges.

Important characteristics of Islamic Accounts:

• No swap or interest on eligible overnight positions

• Same pricing and execution conditions as the corresponding non-Islamic account type

• Islamic status is usually applied upon request after opening a Live MT4 or MT5 account

Demo Account

Zero Markets provides an unlimited Demo Account, allowing traders to practice in a simulated environment before trading real funds. The Demo Account mirrors live pricing and supports both Standard and Super Zero account structures on MT4 and MT5.

Demo Accounts are an effective way for new traders to learn platform mechanics and for experienced traders to test strategies without risk.

Overview of Zero Markets Trading Platforms

MetaTrader 4

Zero Markets supports MetaTrader 4 (MT4), one of the most established trading platforms in the retail forex industry. MT4 provides a robust environment for executing trades, performing technical analysis, and running automated strategies using Expert Advisors (EAs).

Features of MT4 include multiple timeframes, advanced charting tools, and a customizable interface. Traders can manage positions, run custom indicators, and backtest strategies. MT4 is available for desktop, web browser, and mobile devices, ensuring access to markets from virtually any device.

MetaTrader 5

Zero Markets also supports MetaTrader 5 (MT5), the next-generation platform designed for multi-asset trading. MT5 builds on the features of MT4 by offering more analytical tools, additional timeframes, and expanded instrument support across markets, including forex, indices, commodities, and cryptocurrencies.

MT5 retains key features such as automated trading through MQL5, enhanced depth of market tools, and improved strategy testing. Like MT4, MT5 is accessible via desktop applications, a web-based interface, and mobile apps, making it suitable for traders who want advanced analytical capabilities on the go.

Web Trading

Zero Markets provides a WebTrader option for both MT4 and MT5, allowing traders to access full platform functionality directly from a browser without needing to install software. The web solutions support real-time pricing, order execution, multiple chart windows, and built-in technical indicators, delivering a seamless trading experience from any internet-connected device.

Mobile Trading

For traders who prefer managing their positions on the move, Zero Markets supports mobile trading through the MT4 and MT5 applications. These mobile platforms are available for iOS and Android, offering live pricing, charting tools, order management, and alerts. This allows traders to monitor markets and execute trades from smartphones or tablets.

Commission and Fees

Zero Markets provides a transparent and competitive pricing structure, designed to serve traders with different strategies and experience levels. Trading costs vary depending on the selected account type, Standard or Super Zero, and the instrument traded.

Trading Fees

The trading fees at Zero Markets depend primarily on the account type chosen:

• Standard Account: This account type incorporates trading costs directly into the spread and does not charge a separate commission on forex trades. Spreads on major currency pairs like EUR/USD typically start around 1.0 pip.

• Super Zero Account: Designed for traders seeking tighter pricing, this account offers raw or ultra-tight spreads from as low as 0.0-0.1 pips on major forex pairs, but charges a commission of approximately $2.50 per side (about $5 per 1.0 standard lot round-turn).

This tiered structure allows traders to choose between simplicity (Standard) and lower overall trading costs (Super Zero), with the latter being more suited to active, high-frequency, or scalping strategies.

For instruments other than forex, such as share CFDs or ETFs, variable commissions apply depending on the market and instrument type. Traders should consult Zero Markets’ official schedules for exact rates.

Overnight positions incur swap (rollover) fees, which reflect financing costs and vary based on the instrument, position direction, and prevailing financing rates. As is typical in the industry, triple swap charges are applied mid-week to cover weekend rollovers.

Non-Trading Fees

Zero Markets does not generally charge account maintenance or inactivity fees for standard accounts. However, traders should be aware that third-party fees (such as conversion or intermediary bank charges) could apply for certain funding and withdrawal methods.

The broker’s fee schedule also notes that additional charges may apply to platform usage, corporate actions such as dividends, and variation margin under specific conditions, especially for equity-related products or specialized services.

Deposits and Withdrawals

Deposits

Zero Markets offers a straightforward and flexible deposit process, designed to help traders fund their accounts quickly and without unnecessary broker fees. The broker does not charge deposit fees for standard funding methods, although individual payment providers or banks may still levy charges depending on the method and currency.

The minimum deposit requirement at Zero Markets is typically AUD 100 (or currency equivalent), which applies across its main account types, including Standard and Super Zero accounts. This relatively low minimum makes the broker accessible for both new traders and participants with modest starting capital. Zero Markets supports a wide range of deposit options, offering flexibility for clients across different regions.

Withdrawals

Zero Markets provides a structured withdrawal process designed to be efficient and compliant with standard anti-money-laundering policies. Withdrawals usually need to be submitted through the broker’s secure Client Portal.

While Zero Markets generally aims to keep withdrawals smooth, withdrawal fees may apply for some methods, particularly bank wire transfers or certain e-wallet transactions, and are typically charged by the payment provider or intermediary bank rather than the broker itself.

Withdrawal processing times are commonly 1–3 business days after a request is submitted and approved, though timing can vary depending on the method and verification status.

Deposit and Withdrawal Methods

Wire Transfer, Credit Card, Debit Card, Neteller, Skrill, Boleto, POLi, Broker to Broker, Sticpay, Pix, Ted, Epay
