Frequently Asked Questions
Is Libertex regulated?
Yes. Libertex is authorised by CySEC, issued to the entity Indication Investments Ltd, an authorisation you can look up for yourself on the official CySEC public register.
What is the minimum deposit for Libertex in Malta?
The cover charge is $10, the smallest amount Malta traders need to open a live account with Libertex under CySEC rules.
What leverage does Libertex offer in Malta?
In Malta, CySEC rules cap Libertex at 1:30 on forex pairs. A larger pour is sometimes available through offshore-regulated entities, with thinner protection to match.
Is Libertex safe to trade with?
The kitchen passes inspection: Libertex cooks under CySEC. A tier-1 regulator insists on segregated client money, negative balance protection and independent audits, while lighter offshore regimes offer weaker cover and often no compensation scheme. That does not make trading risk-free, so check which entity holds your account and what protections actually apply before you deposit.
