Company	Country	Regulation
IamFX Limited	Republic of Panama	N/A

IamFX offers trading in around 50 currency pairs, various CFDs and precious metals on the widely used MetaTrader 4 platform.

This is a brand name used and owned by IamFX Limited, a company registered and located in the Republic of Panama. It is also registered by the Financial Services Commission in the British Virgin Islands (BVI).

We generally advise traders to avoid non-regulated and offshore companies and to invest with brokers regulated by reliable authorities such as UK’s FCA, or Australia’s ASIC. However, this is not exactly the case with IamFX.

This broker operates since 2009 and is one of the first to offer true STP/DMA execution on MT4 platform. It also acts as liquidity and technology provider and has earned good reputation in the forex realm.

Trading Conditions

Minimum Initial Deposit

In order to open an account with IamFX, one has to deposit $500, which is slightly higher than the average. For example, FX Choice, another brokerage registered offshore, requires $100 as a start and this minimum initial requirement applies to all account types (including the ECN one).

Average spreads & Commissions

This brokerage offers low variable spreads, averaged around 0.3 pips on EUR/USD. The commission applicable varies by account type from $3.5 to $5 per lot (one way). So, basically the trading cost per lot is around 1.3 pips, which is average.

In comparison, FX Choice provides average spreads amounting to 1.2 pips on EUR/USD on its commission-free accounts, while its ECN spreads are averaged 0.5 pips and a commission of $3.50 per lot (per side) applies. For further information, you may look up real-time spreads of 15 leading brokers here.

Maximum Leverage

The maximum leverage rates offered by IamFX are high, reaching 1:500. Yet, most brokers offer leverage within the range of 1:200 – 1:500, including FX Choice. Some even provide higher leverage levels.

Nonetheless, we advise traders to be careful when operating with high leverage levels, for they involve greater risk.

Trading Platforms

IamFX supports the most popular forex trading platform - the MetaTrader 4 (MT4), developed by MetaQuotes. With this broker, it is available as desktop and mobile versions.

Besides, IamFX has partnered with Myfxbook to offer their AutoTrade platform - an account mirroring (trade copy) service. This service allows you to copy the trades of systems on Myfxbook directly into your IamFX MetaTrader 4 account.

Premium account holders are offered $500 Welcome Bonus, if they deposit at least $1000. To withdraw the bonus, the Client must trade of at least 90 standard round turn lots within 3 months of crediting the bonus on his trading account.

Black Mamba account holders, on the other hand, may benefit from up to 100% Deposit Match Bonus. To withdraw the bonus, theymust trade a specific number of standard round turn lots within 9 months of crediting the bonus.
