Verdict
One Royal suits traders who want MT4 access with higher leverage than European and Australian rules normally allow, routed through its Vanuatu or Saint Vincent and the Grenadines entities. Traders who prioritize tighter oversight should note that the Saint Vincent and the Grenadines entity carries no specific regulatory license.
Trading conditions
One Royal operates several entities, and the difference between them is the whole story for a prospective client. The Cyprus and Australian companies apply regulated caps — 30:1 on major currency pairs, negative balance protection, margin close-out at 50% — while the Vanuatu and Saint Vincent entities offer leverage many times higher with none of that.
Account types are Standard, priced in the spread, and ECN, quoting raw spreads with commission. MetaTrader 4 and 5 are the platforms; there is no proprietary alternative.
Hedging, scalping and Expert Advisors are permitted.
Verification
Verification requires photo ID and proof of address, with an appropriateness assessment on the CySEC and ASIC entities. Documents are usually reviewed within one to two business days.
Establish which company your client agreement names before depositing. Cyprus clients have Investor Compensation Fund cover up to €20,000; clients routed to Vanuatu or Saint Vincent have no compensation scheme and no leverage cap, and the trading interface looks identical either way.
