Questions
What is the maximum leverage at Markets.com?
On its official website, Markets.com states a maximum leverage of 1:500 for the Standard account; 1:500 for the Raw account; 1:500 for the Micro account and 1:500 for the Classic Account account, as recorded by ForexInspect with each value's source link and verification date. Anything not listed is shown as not verified, which means unknown — not zero.
Which trading platforms does Markets.com support?
ForexInspect records Markets.com as supporting MetaTrader 4 and MetaTrader 5, as stated on its official website. Any platform not listed is shown as not verified, not confirmed absent.
Does ForexInspect rate or rank Markets.com?
No. ForexInspect publishes only individual facts it can check against Markets.com's own website, each with a source link and the dates it was observed and verified. It gives no ratings, rankings, star scores or trading results.
Where does ForexInspect get its Markets.com facts?
From Markets.com's own official website, read under the site's own access rules, with licence details taken from official public registers. A fact is accepted only when two independent readings agree, and it is removed once it expires until confirmed again.
