Other costs to be aware of include a $20 inactivity fee charged to accounts dormant for over 12 months, as well as overnight swap rates on the MT4 platform

Leverage on the Streamster platform is available between 1:10 and 1:100, whilst on MetaTrader leverage is offered at 1:1 to 1:100 (initially 1:100). Although not the highest leverage rates available, there is enough to capitalise on market opportunities.

Details of the margin call process can be found on the broker’s website.

AGEA offers the AGEA.Trade and MetaTrader 4 mobile apps for those who wish to trade on the go. On iPhone devices, the AGEA.Trade web trader is accessible via your smartphone web browser, whereas on Android devices, an app download from the Google Play or Huawei Store is required.

The MetaTrader 4 mobile app for both iPhone and Android devices can be downloaded from the Apple App Store or Google Play. MT4 mobile app users enjoy all the same features as the desktop platform.

Note, the Streamster platform is currently not available on mobile.

AGEA offers multiple funding options within the Account Centre. Payment methods include local bank and wire transfers, credit and debit cards, plus e-wallets, Fasapay, Union Pay, and RBK Money. See the broker’s Payment Options page for a list of methods available in your jurisdiction.

The minimum deposit with all methods is $1, making it an accessible broker for new traders. AGEA does not charge for deposits, but there may be external processing fees.

Withdrawals can be made by all the same methods as deposits. AGEA charges a $7 withdrawal fee on the first withdrawal made through non-wire options and a $10 fee on withdrawals via bank wire transfer. Additional processing fees can be found on the broker’s website.

For security reasons, the withdrawal process is never automated. Digital currency withdrawals take 6-24 hours to process. Wire transfer withdrawals take 2-7 business days.

AGEA’s demo account comes with $10,000 in virtual capital. Access to the demo account will be available for as long as traders want it and if funds fall below $2,000, users may request more. The demo account is an excellent way to try trading under the same conditions as a live account.

AGEA offers a $5 no deposit bonus for all new users. Simply register for a new trading account and the funds will be automatically added to your account. Check the broker’s website for information on upcoming deals and promotions.
