It accepts clients worldwide except in Japan, Canada, the USA, and a few other restricted countries.

ClickTrades is a CySEC- and SFSA-regulated forex and CFD broker launched in 2018, headquartered in Cyprus with an offshore branch in Seychelles. It offers the MT5 and WebTrader platforms, a $1,000 minimum deposit, and access to forex, stocks, ETFs, indices, commodities and cryptocurrencies.
Regulation
ClickTrades operates through two regulated entities. Key Way Solutions Ltd, based in Cyprus, is regulated by the Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission (CySEC) and caps leverage at 1:30 for EU clients under ESMA rules. KW Investments Limited, based in Seychelles, is regulated by the Seychelles Financial Services Authority (SFSA) and allows leverage up to 1:300 on major currency pairs for international clients.
Trading instruments
ClickTrades lists more than 50 currency pairs, around 2,000 stocks, 50 ETFs, 18 stock indices, 20 commodities and 18 cryptocurrencies. The broker also provides tools for IPO trading.
Trading platforms
Traders can use MT5 (MetaTrader 5) or WebTrader. Both support automated trading, scalping and mobile access.
Account types and spreads
ClickTrades offers three account tiers: the Essential Account, requiring a $1,000 minimum deposit; the Original Account, for advanced traders, requiring $5,000; and the Signature Account, with VIP services for experienced traders, requiring $25,000. All accounts combine fixed and floating spreads with no added commission; the average EUR/USD spread is around 1.8 pips. Islamic (swap-free) accounts are available.
Deposits, withdrawals and fees
The minimum deposit is $1,000. Supported deposit methods include bank transfer, Visa/Mastercard, Skrill, Neteller, WebMoney, Sofort, Giropay, and Bitcoin, Litecoin and Ethereum via Ecommpay. ClickTrades does not publish a specific withdrawal fee. Accounts with no transactions for three months are charged a $30 monthly inactivity fee if a balance remains.
Other features
- Segregated client accounts
- Affiliate/partner program
- Base currencies: USD, AED, COP, EUR, GBP, LKR, ZAR
- PAMM accounts, social trading, trading signals and VPS are not offered
- Customer support available 24/5
Advantages and disadvantages
Advantages include CySEC and SFSA regulation, a wide range of instruments including stocks, ETFs and cryptocurrencies, cryptocurrency deposit options, and the user-friendly MT5 and WebTrader platforms.
Drawbacks include a comparatively high minimum deposit, spreads that are not among the most competitive, and no ECN account option.
Is ClickTrades right for you?
ClickTrades suits traders who value CySEC/SFSA oversight, a broad instrument range, and Islamic account options. Its $1,000 minimum deposit is higher than many competitors, and it does not offer ECN or PAMM accounts. Compare it against other reviews and our broker rating before opening an account.
Trading conditions
ClickTrades belongs to the same group as CAPEX and shares much of its infrastructure: MetaTrader 5 alongside a proprietary web platform, and a broad multi-asset CFD list running into the thousands.
The CySEC entity applies ESMA limits — 30:1 on major currency pairs, negative balance protection, margin close-out at 50% — with Investor Compensation Fund cover up to €20,000. The Seychelles entity applies none of that.
Where two brands share a group, an operational problem at one is usually informative about the other. Read the group name in the client agreement rather than only the brand.
Verification
Verification requires photo ID and proof of address, with an appropriateness assessment on the CySEC entity. Documents are usually reviewed within one to two business days.
Check the inactivity fee and the currency conversion charge before funding. On a small or infrequently traded account those two commonly exceed anything the spread costs.
