About the company

The corporation was established in 2010 by a group of Japanese traders as the world’s first free automated trading program for Japanese investors and was originally known as Gemtrade. The firm was rebranded GemForex in 2014. The Mauritius Financial Services Commission licenses and regulates the broker. Negative balance protection and the separation of client funds from business secure investors’ accounts in the case of a firm’s collapse.  Forex 33 currencies, Energy, and Index CFDs are available to trade with. Users can experiment and examine the system’s features and capabilities using up to $100,000 in simulated money. The profile includes real-time trade patterns and similar functions to an All-In-One account, such as the ability to leverage up to 1:1000, three order types, and hedging strategy compliance.

MT4

The system provides access to nine timeframes, fully customizable charts, and four types of pending orders.

MT5

• 12 timeframes
• Six types of pending orders
• 80+ objects of technical analysis
• Multi-threaded strategy tester
• MQL5 language for programming strategies

Mobile apps for MT4 and MT5 are available. Clients can install GemForex apps for iOS and Android smartphones directly from the broker’s website or from the app store of their choice.

Spreads and fees

On major currency pairs, the All-In-One account offers spreads as low as 1.3 pips. They fluctuate, but an average spread of 1.4 pips for the EUR/USD pair, 1.3 pips for the USD/JPY pair, and 1.5 pips for the GBP/JPY pair was found in a representative sample. We propose choosing a no-spread account with a low rate across all instruments for traders who want to avoid spreads.

Leverage

Individual investors’ maximal leverage is determined by a number of criteria, including their account balance and the financial products they choose. GemForex can offer large margin chances as an offshore registered broker because it is not subject to the same tight requirements as, say, European brokers.

Leverage up to 1:1000 if your current balance is less than 2 million yen ($20,000).

Over 2 million yen ($20,000) in your account – up to 1:500 leverage

Please keep in mind that this is dependent on the CFD instruments used. The maximal leverage for worldwide indexes is 1:100, except for the Nikkei 225, which is provided at 1:200.
