Regulation and Safety

RoboForex Ltd is registered with the FSC in Belize, an offshore regulator. It adds private protections: category A membership of The Financial Commission, whose Compensation Fund covers up to €20,000 per case, civil liability insurance of up to €2,500,000, and negative balance protection.

Elev8 says it keeps client funds in segregated accounts and offers negative balance protection. Its site names no compensation scheme.

Neither broker holds a top-tier licence such as the FCA’s or ASIC’s for the clients it serves internationally, and neither offers a government-backed compensation scheme. Keep deposits proportionate and check which company your client agreement names.

Trading Costs

On commission-free accounts, RoboForex lists: Pro and ProCent from 1.3 pips. Elev8 lists: From 0.6 pips, no commission. “From” figures are minimums, so expect wider live spreads, especially around news.

Only RoboForex offers a raw-spread account: ECN and Prime from 0 pips plus a commission per $1 million traded. Elev8 is spread-only, which is simpler but usually costs more per trade for frequent traders.

RoboForex lists no inactivity fee. Elev8’s inactivity fee: $5 a month after a full year without trading. Withdrawal fees: RoboForex: by method (for example Skrill 1%, cards up to 2.6% + $1.30); first withdrawal free on three Tuesdays a month; Elev8: none from Elev8.

Platforms and Copy Trading

RoboForex’s copy trading: Copy Trading Service (formerly CopyFX), from $100. Elev8’s copy trading: Copy trading with Master Traders (0.2-pip service mark-up). Copying another trader doesn’t remove risk: you can lose money as fast as trading yourself.

Leverage

RoboForex’s maximum leverage: 1:2000 on Pro and ProCent; 1:500 on ECN; 1:300 on Prime. Elev8’s: 1:1000 (crypto 1:200).

A higher maximum is not an advantage in itself. Leverage multiplies losses as fast as gains, so beginners should use far less than either broker allows.

Which One Should You Choose?

• You want to start from $10, including on a cent account

• You want copy trading and a free VPS for active accounts
