About MYMAFX

MYMAFX is registered with multiple regulatory bodies around the world and we take our commitment to financial strength and security very seriously. For more information,click here.

On Standard Accounts, MYMAFX is compensated via spreads, which are the difference between the bid and ask prices. On Commission Accounts, MYMAFX is compensated via spreads and a $5 commission per 100K. We work hard to provide transparent pricing and tight spreads. You may incur a rollover charge if you hold your positions overnight.

All retail client money is fully segregated from our own funds and held in separate accounts with top-tier banks. We only use our own funds for hedging and never engage in proprietary trading.

MYMAFX is part of a NASDAQ-listed company with a strong balance sheet and experienced management team, serving clients in multiple countries worldwide.

In addition, clients may be eligible for the Financial Services Compensation Scheme in the event the firm becomes insolvent or ceases trading.

MYMAFX actively complies with all anti-money laundering and anti-terrorism laws and regulations to the fullest extent that it can, under all applicable foreign and domestic laws.

On an ongoing basis, we review account activity for evidence of suspicious transactions that may be indicative of money laundering activities. This review may include surveillance of: 1) money flows into and out of accounts, 2) the origin and destination of wire transfers, and 3) other activity outside the normal course of business.

In order to be fully compliant with applicable regulatory requirements, MYMAFX may occasionally reach out for additional information and/or documentation from clients.

Demo Account

The primary difference between a demo account and a live trading account is that there is no capital at risk when trading in a MYMAFX demo account.

MYMAFX’s demo/practice account is a core element of our educational effort. A practice account is intended to familiarize you with the tools and features of MYMAFX's trading platforms and to facilitate the testing of forex trading strategies in a risk-free environment using virtual funds.

Results achieved on the MYMAFX practice account are hypothetical and no representation is made that any account will or is likely to achieve actual profits or losses similar to those achieved in the practice account. Conditions in the practice account cannot always reasonably reflect all of the market conditions that may affect pricing, execution and margin requirements in a live trading environment. Margin and leverage settings by product and account may vary from time to time between your practice account and a live account due to live account settings changes imposed by MYMAFX resulting from market volatility and other factors. Rollover/financing charges are not simulated in the demo environments. The pricing available in the demo environment is the same pricing available to MYMAFX account holders. Pricing for managed accounts and accounts referred by an Introducing Broker may differ.

Demo accounts last for 30 days after signup. Afterward, you will not be able to log in using the demo account credentials.

No, you can only open one demo account of each type (i.e. MYMAFX platforms or MetaTrader) per email address.

Pricing & Fees

When a price for a market is quoted, you will actually see two prices. The first price, known as the bid, is the sell price and the second price is the buy price, known as the offer. The difference between the sell and buy price is called the spread.

MYMAFX charges commissions on shares CFD trading and on FX trading when trading on a Commission Account. We recommend you reference the Market Information Sheets in the MYMAFX desktop and Metatrader platforms for complete details.

Back to Base automatically converts any realized profits and losses, adjustments, fees and charges that are denominated in another currency, back to the base currency of your account before applying them to your account.

When Back to Base charges are applied, we strive to use commercially reasonable rates (which may be up to and including +/- 0.5% away from our quoted prices or rates from time to time). Any conversions and the rates applied will be disclosed on your contract notes and statements.

MYMAFX does not charge data exchange fees. However, you may incur a financing/rollover charge if you hold your positions overnight.

Please contact a tax professional for information on the tax situation in your country.

Margin & Leverage

Margin is equity from your account set aside by MYMAFX to maintain a position when you’re trading on leverage.

Leverage is the ability to control a large position with a small amount of capital. It is usually denoted by a ratio. For example, if your account has a leverage of 200:1, that means you can trade a position of $50,000 with only $250.

Please note that increased leverage increases risk.

Our margin requirements differ according to platform (MYMAFX or MetaTrader), market, asset class and position size. You can find out the specific margin of each instrument in its Market Information Sheet on the MYMAFX desktop platform.
To calculate the amount of funds required to cover the margin requirement when you open a trade, simply multiply the total notional value of your trade (quantity x price of instrument) by the margin factor.
For example, say the margin requirement for EURUSD is 0.5%. The current buy price of EURUSD is 1.300 and you wish to buy 1 standard lot (100,000).
The total value of the position is $130,000 (100,000 x 1.300). $650 would therefore be allocated from your account to open the position ($130,000 x 0.5%).
With MYMAFX platforms, you can calculate the required margin before placing a trade through the platform’s margin calculator, monitor each position’s margin requirement separately or review your account’s total margin requirement through the Margin Indicator.
Keep in mind that when you have open positions, your margin requirement for those positions will adjust to the current market pricing.

Please fill out a Margin Change Request Form and submit it to support@MYMAFX

The larger the trade size, the higher the risk level associated with the trade. Therefore, we may increase our margin requirements for larger size trades or any additional trades in that instrument. To do this, MYMAFX increases the size of the margin requirement at specific quantity levels, known as step margin levels. You can view a market’s step margin levels in its Market Information Sheet within the MYMAFX desktop platform.

Step margins are not present in MetaTrader platforms.

While our margin requirements, closeout levels and real-time margin system are designed to limit your trading losses, you do risk incurring losses greater than your account balance, especially during periods of extreme market volatility. For this reason, we strongly encourage you to manage your use of leverage carefully.

You can request a change to your level of leverage by accessing MyAccount.

Some markets on the MYMAFX desktop platform may benefit from orders-aware margining, which means that placing a stop loss order on an open position will reduce the margin required to maintain that position. Information on whether a market includes orders-aware margining can be found within the Market Information Sheet within the MYMAFX desktop platform.

Hedging margin on MYMAFX’s proprietary platforms is set to the ‘largest leg,’ whereby only the margin for the larger portion of the hedge trade will be applied, and not for the shorter leg.

For example, you are trading CFDs and have two open Wall Street positions, originally selling a quantity of 10 and then buying a quantity of 5. In this case, you would only the margin for the original, larger side of the trade will be applied: the Wall Street short 10 position. Assuming that the margin for selling 10 Wall Street is £1,691.45 and the margin for buying 5 Wall Street is £845.7, you would only need to provide enough margin to cover the original, larger sell position for both of the trades in this market.

Hedging margin on MetaTrader is set to net position, whereby the margin for each net position will be applied, no matter their size.
