Markets4you Review: Standard vs Pro Costs, Offshore Regulation and Partner Tiers

Markets4you (formerly Forex4you) is an offshore broker regulated by the FSC of the British Virgin Islands and the FSC of Mauritius, offering a no-commission Standard account from 0.9 pips and a Pro account from 0.1 pips plus $3.50 per side. It is also the only broker we cover that publishes its partner tiers, up to 72%, which makes its rebates easier to check than most. We could not open Markets4you's own account and licence pages, so those figures come from an independent review, named next to each one.

Markets4you accounts

Source: FXLeaders Markets4You review, which also lists leverage up to 1:4000 and platforms MetaTrader 4, MetaTrader 5 and the Markets4you mobile app. On the minimum deposit the same review says both "no minimum deposit" and deposits "from 1 USD", so we treat it as unconfirmed until Markets4you's own page can be checked.

Standard vs Pro: a worked example

At the "from" spreads on EUR/USD, with $10 per pip per standard lot:

• Standard: 0.9 pips x $10 = $9.00 per lot.
• Pro: 0.1 pips x $10 = $1.00 of spread, then $1.00 + $7.00 = $8.00 per lot.

The two are close at best-case spreads. Pro wins whenever the Standard spread is more than 0.7 pips wider than the Pro spread, since $7.00 / $10 = 0.7 pips. "From" spreads are minimums, so compare live quotes on both accounts before choosing.

Regulation: offshore only

Source: FXLeaders Markets4You review. Both regulators are offshore and give fewer investor protections than top-tier regulators such as the FCA or ASIC. The entity names behind each licence were not stated on the pages we opened. Leverage up to 1:4000 means a move of a fraction of a percent can close a fully leveraged position; work out your size with the position size calculator before trading.

Markets4you partner terms and what reaches you

Markets4you's own partner FAQ gives the IB commission as up to 72% on every referral, in tiers: Bronze 40%, Silver 45%, Gold 50%, Platinum 55% and Diamond 60%, plus a loyalty bonus of up to 20% on monthly commission. It quotes up to $14.40 per lot from spread share on EUR/USD and up to $7.50 per lot from order-opening commission share, with partner payouts every 4 hours. Source: Markets4you partner program FAQ.

Those are partner ceilings, and a rebate service can only pass on part of what it earns. Our rebate program pays you 75% of the commission Markets4you pays us for your trades. As a ceiling, if we earned the published maximum of $14.40 on a lot, your share would be $14.40 x 75% = $10.80; at a lower tier the amount is smaller, and we confirm the rate before you join. Payouts to you are monthly in USDT (TRC20), whatever the broker's 4-hour partner schedule. To sign up, use our Markets4you link.

Weighing it up

• For: published partner tiers, a low "from" spread on Pro, MT4 and MT5.
• Against: offshore regulation only, extreme maximum leverage, and key terms we could not confirm on the broker's own pages.
• Unknown: execution, withdrawal times and support quality. Try a small deposit before committing more.

Risk warning

Leveraged trading can lose money quickly, and offshore regulation offers limited recourse if something goes wrong. Rebates reduce costs but cannot offset losses. Check Markets4you's current terms on its official website and read our risk disclaimer. This is not financial advice.
