AAAFx is a forex and CFD broker founded in Greece in 2008, regulated by the Hellenic Capital Market Commission (HCMC) under ESMA rules, with a separate, unregulated entity in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines for looser trading conditions. It offers MetaTrader 4 for manual trading and ZuluTrade for copying other traders' strategies, across three account types with different commission structures. The minimum deposit is $300, and leverage ranges from ESMA-capped limits in the EU up to 1:500 through the offshore entity.
AAAFx is a Greece-based, HCMC/ESMA-regulated forex and CFD broker offering MT4 and ZuluTrade social trading, with a $300 minimum deposit.
Overview
AAAFx is a forex and CFD broker founded in Greece in 2008, regulated by the Hellenic Capital Market Commission (HCMC) under European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) rules. It also operates a second entity in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, which is unregulated but offers less restrictive trading conditions.
Regulation and Trading Conditions
As an EU-regulated broker, AAAFx follows ESMA rules on leverage limits, negative balance protection, and client classification. These rules limit flexibility but add investor protection. Its Saint Vincent and the Grenadines entity is not regulated but allows leverage up to 1:500.
Leverage
Under ESMA rules for retail clients in Greece and other EU countries, major currency pairs are capped at 1:30, and gold, minor pairs, and major stock indices at 1:20; other assets may carry lower limits depending on volatility. Clients trading through the Saint Vincent and the Grenadines entity can access leverage up to 1:500.
Trading Platforms
AAAFx offers MetaTrader 4 (MT4) for manual trading and ZuluTrade, a web-based social trading platform for copying other traders' strategies.
Account Types
- Classic: manual trading on MT4, plus trade copying via ZuluTrade.
- Profit Sharing: ZuluTrade copy trading only, no MT4 access, commission of $5 per lot.
- MT4: manual trading on MT4, commission of $2.5 per lot.
A demo account and a swap-free (Islamic) account are also available.
Trading Instruments
AAAFx offers forex, cryptocurrencies, commodities, bonds, stock indices, and individual stocks.

Trading conditions
AAAFx is closely tied to ZuluTrade — the two share ownership history — and copy trading through that network is the core of the offering rather than an add-on. For a client whose intention is to follow signal providers rather than trade directly, that integration is the reason to look here.
Account pricing is ECN-style: raw spreads with a low commission per lot.
The group has operated a Greek entity under HCMC supervision alongside an offshore company. The entity decides leverage and protections, and copy-trading clients in particular should establish which one holds their money before allocating — a follower's capital sits in the same account as any other client's.
Verification
Verification requires photo ID and a proof of address, normally reviewed within one business day and required before the first withdrawal.
Where the account sits under the Saint Vincent entity there is no leverage cap, no conduct rulebook and no compensation scheme. Copying a strategy does not change that: the counterparty risk is the broker's, and it is unaffected by how the trading decisions are made.
