However, the broker does claim to protect client funds by keeping them separate from the broker's own funds, as well as to hold funds with 'reputable European banks' - which are not listed - as shown on broker's website:

According to AAFX website , they take extreme measures to ensure that their clients' funds are always 100% secure as detailed below:

  • Segregation of client funds All client funding is kept in separate accounts from the Company's own funds. This ensures that client's funds cannot be used for any other purpose under any circumstance.
  • Funds deposited in international global banks AAFX Trading uses only reputable banks for clients depositing their funds, all within a range of European banks with a reputable and credible reputation.
  • Risk Management AAFX Trading provides an automated risk management system through its state-of-the art platforms to ensure that its clients account balances will never go negative.
  • A wide range of account funding methods all have SSL Security, which allows all sensitive information, such as credit cards, account details to be transmitted securely.
  • Regulation and Licence AAFX TRADING COMPANY LIMITED is a brand of AA BUSINESS SOLUTIONS SDN BHD which is authorized and regulated by FSA.

  • Account Opening

    AAFX Trading offers 3 main types of trading accounts called Fixed Account, ECN Account and VIP Account which all allow for commission-free and swap-free trading. The broker also offers the use of a Practice Account.

    Clients trading with AAFX Trading are offered 3 main types of trading accounts which each come with different features and benefits for both the beginner and advanced trader. These accounts are called the Fixed Account, ECN Account and VIP account. The broker also offers the use of a Practice Account.

    AAFX Trading: Fixed Account

    The AAFX Trading Fixed Account offers commission-free trading with fixed spreads starting from 2 pips. Accounts with balances up to 20,000 USD can access leverage from 1:10 to 1:2000 depending on the asset class being traded. Account balances above $20,000 have a maximum leverage of 1:1000. The minimum deposit is quite low at just $100.

    AAFX Trading: ECN Account

    The AAFX Trading ECN Account offers commission-free trading with variable plus spreads starting from 0.2 pips. Accounts balances up to 20,000 USD can access leverage from 1:10 to 1:2000 depending on the asset class being traded. Account balances above $20,000 have a maximum leverage of 1:1000. The minimum deposit is quite low at just $100.

  • While the above says Swap Free for both Fixed and ECN Accounts this is a bit misleading as there are swaps payable on both accounts, as highlighted in the Commissions section, but swap-free accounts are available to use.

    AAFX Trading: VIP Account

    The AAFX Trading VIP Account offers commission-free and swap-free trading with ECN spreads. According to the broker, the account is suitable for 'high rollers' with balances starting at 20,000 USD to access 100% ECN raw spreads with no commission or swap.

    It is unclear how the broker makes revenue by offering 100% ECN spreads with no commission or swaps as nearly all other ECN brokers will charge a commission per trade, covering the cost to connect you to their liquidity providers.

    VIP account holders are also offered other benefits such as:

    • VIP account holder can claim 30% welcome bonus up to $100k deposits.
    • VIP account holder can trade all instruments listed on the website and also request for more instruments.
