Is it possible to use Expert Advisors (EAs) for automated trading with Metaverse Securities' platforms?

WikiFX Reply

As someone who values robust automated trading tools in my strategies, I took a careful look at Metaverse Securities’ platform offerings before opening an account. Metaverse Securities mainly supports MetaStock, Fuyuan Benben, and Yisheng Polestar Futures, without offering the widely adopted MT4 or MT5 platforms. In my experience, the lack of MT4/MT5 means native support for the kinds of Expert Advisors (EAs) widely used in forex trading is absent. MetaStock does allow for some automation through system testing and scripting, but this is very different from the plug-and-play EA functionality found with MetaTrader. The other platforms mentioned focus more on manual, chart-based trading and don’t appear to have open environments for the typical FX EAs most algo traders rely on. For me, this was a clear limitation—one that could restrict traders who depend on flexible, third-party algorithmic trading solutions. Unless you are able to custom-script or adapt your automation to one of Metaverse Securities’ supported platforms (and accept the technical and practical hurdles involved), I don’t see it as a straightforward broker for running EAs in the way I’m accustomed to. For anyone prioritizing seamless EA integration, this would be a significant consideration before opening an account. Exercising caution and thorough platform research is essential for anyone with a strong interest in automated trading.

How do the different account types at Metaverse Securities compare to one another?

WikiFX Reply

Based on my experience evaluating brokers, I found that Metaverse Securities does not clearly distinguish between multiple account types in the way many retail forex brokers do. Instead, the focus here seems to be on offering access to a broad array of products—such as stocks, forex, ETFs, REITs, and mutual funds—rather than segmenting clients by tiered account structures with varying features or minimum deposit requirements. For me, this approach might appeal to newer traders or those seeking simplicity, but it doesn't offer the fine-tuned customizability or perks (like advanced platforms, specialized support, or tailored fee schedules) that seasoned traders might expect from firms with distinct account types. I also noted that Metaverse Securities charges an inactivity fee for dormant accounts and provides most basic services free of charge. This means that, regardless of the size of your portfolio or your trading frequency, the experience will largely be standardized—something that may limit flexibility for active or institutional-level participants. Another important observation is the absence of mainstream advanced platforms like MT5 and the reliance on MetaStock, Fuyuan Benben, and Yisheng Polestar Futures, which could affect platform compatibility depending on a trader’s preferences or strategies. Overall, in my professional judgment, the lack of differentiated account options at Metaverse Securities warrants a cautious approach, especially for those with specific needs or higher expectations for bespoke brokerage services.

Does Metaverse Securities charge a commission for each lot traded on their ECN or raw spread accounts?

WikiFX Reply

From my review of Metaverse Securities, I did not find clear information specifically outlining commissions per lot in the context of ECN or raw spread accounts. In my personal experience with various brokers, commission structures are usually prominently disclosed, especially for ECN models, as these tend to involve transparent per-lot fees. Instead, Metaverse Securities offers a variety of trading instruments—stocks, forex, ETFs, REITs—with most basic services such as depositing, withdrawing funds, and custody typically free. However, certain transactional services like stamp transfer fees and other processing charges may apply. What stands out to me is their focus on providing cost-effective basic trading, but the details around exact trading commissions, particularly per-lot charges on ECN or raw spread accounts, are not made explicit. Given this lack of detail and recognizing the cautious approach any prudent trader should take, I would personally be hesitant to make assumptions about hidden costs or the absence thereof. I also noticed that while Metaverse Securities is regulated in Hong Kong, their scope of business has reportedly exceeded the limits of one expired SFC license, which adds an additional layer of risk. For me, full transparency around fee structures and up-to-date licensing are key considerations before committing significant funds or trades. Therefore, I recommend contacting their customer support directly for a definitive answer regarding commission charges on specific accounts and ensuring you have all fee-related details in writing before trading.

Does Metaverse Securities offer a swap-free (Islamic) account option for its traders?

WikiFX Reply

Based on my thorough review of all the information available about Metaverse Securities, I have not found any indication that they offer a swap-free, or Islamic, account option for traders. In my experience, clarity on such account types is essential, especially for traders who are concerned with complying with Shariah financial principles. Reliable brokers tend to state up front if Islamic accounts are on offer, usually with clear outlines of how overnight charges are handled. For Metaverse Securities, I noticed that their range of supported platforms—such as MetaStock, Fuyuan Benben, and Yisheng Polestar Futures—seems more tailored to conventional trading rather than accommodating religious or ethical mandates that require swap-free conditions. Moreover, their platform details and fee structures make no mention of alternative arrangements for interest accrual on overnight positions, which are central to Islamic accounts. Given that regulatory information around Metaverse Securities is already somewhat ambiguous—particularly with the license AAW177 having expired and questions about the scope of their current activities—I would personally be very cautious if a swap-free account is a necessity for you. If this is a critical criterion for your trading, it's wise to contact Metaverse Securities directly for clarification or consider more transparent alternatives. Trust, clarity, and regulatory adherence are non-negotiable for me when choosing a broker for specific account needs.
