Moneta Markets — where it wins, where it loses
Moneta Markets wins on platform choice. No column in our set puts it behind the field. Its cost per ten lots is not confirmed, so it is left out of the cost ordering rather than estimated.
Column by column
The split
Two lists, no averaging. A broker that takes a column outright appears on the left of it; one that gets beaten on a column appears on the right. Nothing is scored into a single number, because a single number hides which side you actually care about.
Wins on
- platform choice
Loses on
No column in this set puts Moneta Markets behind the field.
Cost per 10 lots is the EUR/USD spread cost of ten round-turn standard lots at the figure above, commission excluded. Where a broker publishes a "from" spread rather than an average, the comparison inherits that limitation — see the unconfirmed list further down.
Licensing

Facts the comparison runs on
On the record
- One line that changes the comparison: moneta Markets Ltd is registered in Saint Lucia under registration number 2023-00068, which is a company registration rather than a financial services licence.
- Before you weigh this against another broker: the Direct STP and Prime ECN accounts each have a $50 minimum deposit; the Ultra ECN account requires $20,000.
- Worth knowing when you compare: moneta states client funds are held in a segregated account with an AA-rated global bank.

Excluded from the maths
Not verified
Not verified
These fields are not confirmed. They are shown as gaps, not filled in, and they do not feed any column of the matrix:
- founding year (secondary sources give 2019 or 2020) is missing, so it is excluded from every comparison on this page.
- headquarters location is missing, so it is excluded from every comparison on this page.
- negative balance protection is missing, so it is excluded from every comparison on this page.
- maximum leverage is missing, so it is excluded from every comparison on this page.
- typical EUR/USD spread (source only gave an advertised 'from 0.0' raw-account figure) is missing, so it is excluded from every comparison on this page.
