Audit Scorecard
Our Verdict
Admiral Markets is assessed here on its regulatory licences, published trading costs, platform range and account terms. Its licences from FCA, ASIC, CySEC are the primary safeguard for client funds — check each licence number on the regulator's own register before depositing.
Admiral Markets advertises execution of 30ms and offers MT4. That execution figure is the broker's own published claim, not a speed we have measured — real fills vary with account type, session liquidity and news conditions.
