For first-time deposits, identity verification is mandatory to prevent fraud. The payment gateway uses multi-layer authentication and encryption protocols ensuring data security. Most electronic deposits complete within minutes, allowing traders to act quickly on market opportunities.

Platform Access and Trading Tools

Upon meeting the minimum deposit, Omani traders gain immediate access to our trading platforms designed for both desktop and mobile use. MetaTrader 4 is our primary platform, providing extensive charting tools, over 50 technical indicators, and support for expert advisors for automated trading. The platform is pre-configured with Ecmarkets server details, requiring minimal setup.

Our proprietary EC Markets mobile app supports iOS and Android devices, offering real-time price streaming, one-click trading, and push notifications for margin calls and trade alerts. Both platforms synchronize account data, ensuring consistent information whether accessing from desktop or mobile.

We also offer a web-based platform for traders who prefer browser access without installation. All platforms support market, limit, stop, and trailing stop orders with seamless execution.

MetaTrader 4 Configuration

Omani traders download MT4 directly from our website. The platform supports Windows 7 or higher with at least 1GB RAM recommended. After installation, users enter the server address and login credentials provided via email. The platform connects automatically to live price feeds, displaying all instruments available for trading. Traders may customize charts and save templates to streamline workflow.

The app allows traders to monitor positions, execute trades, and receive instant alerts. All data syncing occurs in real-time, ensuring consistent account status across devices.

Leverage and Margin Requirements

We offer leverage up to 1:500 on major currency pairs, enabling traders to control large positions with smaller deposits. For example, a $10 minimum deposit can control up to $5,000 in EUR/USD trading volume. Commodity leverage is lower, with crude oil capped at 1:200 due to market volatility. Margin requirements are calculated automatically and displayed before trade confirmation.

Margin calls occur at 100% equity levels, with stop-out enforced at 50%. This system helps prevent negative balances while allowing flexibility for open positions. Traders receive alerts through the platform and email when margin levels approach critical thresholds.

Leverage limits adjust based on account size and instrument type, with larger accounts subject to reduced maximum leverage per regulatory standards. Requests for increased leverage require submission of financial documentation and risk assessment.

Margin Call Protection System

Our platform continuously monitors account equity against margin requirements. When equity reaches the margin call level, traders are notified through multiple channels including SMS and platform alerts. This early warning allows traders to add funds or reduce positions before automatic liquidation occurs. Support is available to advise on risk management strategies based on margin status.
