Windsor Brokers review

The minimum deposit is $50, above the $5 Vantage entry and well above the $0 CFI entry. It is also above the €4.64 site median, so the account is not aimed at very small first deposits.

The broker is regulated by the Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission under licence 030/04. The regulated company is Windsor Brokers Ltd, and eligible deposits fall under EU ICS up to EUR 20,000, so the scheme attaches to the entity rather than the brand.

Eligible deposits sit under EU ICS up to EUR 20,000, the investor compensation arrangement tied to the Cyprus licence. That cover belongs to the regulated company, Windsor Brokers Ltd, which is the entity named on the licence 030/04.

The published market list is stocks, etfs and forex, covering forex, CFDs, crypto, metals, stocks and ETFs. Compare that with eToro at stocks, etfs and forex, which also carries futures, so a contract on that list is the point at which the shorter range here bites.

Retail leverage is capped at 1:30. That ceiling applies to retail accounts, so the maximum position size on forex and CFD positions is set by the limit rather than by your deposit, and a losing position can grow faster than the margin behind it.

The platform list is MT4, MT5 and Mobile App, so MT4, MT5 and a mobile app are served by the same broker. The feature list also names copy trading and mobile app, which pairs copy trading with the mobile app for following other traders on the move.

The share of retail accounts that lose money is 78.3%, higher than the 70.15% site median. Markets such as forex, CFDs and crypto carry leverage through 1:30, so position size drives the outcome more than the market itself.

The firm has been trading since 1988 under the legal name Windsor Brokers Ltd. Its standing comes from the Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission licence, 030/04, which is the arrangement that makes EU ICS up to EUR 20,000 available on the account.
