Very transparent. Very transparent in terms of trading conditions and their contact service is quick to respond, highly recommend to beginners and anyone trying trading.

Tatenda Moyana, on Google

Quite innovative. Crystal Ball’s MT7 platform is quite innovative. I like that I can close partial lots as my trades are running.

Petcaru Florentina, on Google

Great for traders on the go. The interface is clean, execution is fast, and charts load seamlessly. A few more indicators would be nice, but overall, it’s a powerful MT7 trading platform.

Frequently asked questions

How much do I need to open an account?

A Micro account opens with $1. The Standard account starts at $300 and PRO ECN at $1,000. For deposits above $20,000 we put together a VIP package with you.

Is Crystal Ball Markets regulated?

Crystal Ball Markets has satisfied the legal requirements for registration and is a Foreign Money Services Business (FMSB) in regulatory compliance with FINTRAC Canada for Foreign Exchange Dealing and Dealing in Virtual Currencies (MSB number: N300001956). It is profiled by Dun & Bradstreet (D-U-N-S 817053117). How we are registered and how client money is handled.

Which platform do I trade on?

Crystal Ball Markets MT7 (Mobius Trader 7), on Windows, macOS, Linux, iPhone, iPad and Android, or in any browser through the web terminal. Our free Trade Copier copies trades from MT4, MT5, cTrader and TradingView strategies into your MT7 account.

How do deposits and withdrawals work?

You can pay by Visa or Mastercard, Apple Pay, Google Pay, PayPal, Revolut Pay, Skrill, Neteller, Perfect Money, SWIFT bank transfer (USD, EUR or GBP), cryptocurrency (BTC, BCH, LTC, DASH, ETH, USDT on ERC-20 or TRC-20, XRP) or local bank transfers and wallets in 11 countries, always from your client area. We charge no fees on deposits or withdrawals. Withdrawal requests are processed within one business day, between 09:00 and 17:00 GMT, Monday to Friday.

Do you cut leverage around news, rollovers or weekends?

No. We don’t raise margin before or after news releases, at the overnight rollover or over the weekend, so your leverage doesn’t drop when markets get busy. Some brokers cut leverage at those times, which can leave open positions short of margin. Leverage still makes losses larger as well as gains.

Can I practise first?

Yes. A demo account gives you $50,000 of virtual money on the same platform, so you can learn how orders, margin and leverage work before using real money.

Which countries do you not accept clients from?

We do not offer our services to residents of the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, the European Union and European Economic Area, Switzerland, Australia, Japan, North Korea, Cuba, Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, South Sudan, Sudan, Yemen or Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, or anywhere else our services would break local law.
