Regulation & Security

DNA Markets operates under Focus Markets Pty Ltd (ABN 96 167 517 544), which is regulated by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission under AFSL 514425. For non-Australian clients, services are provided by Focus Markets LLC, a company incorporated in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines (registration number 356 LLC 2020). The SVG entity is unregulated, and all non-Australian clients are onboarded under this entity. This framework means regulatory protections differ by client domicile, with ASIC oversight applying to Australian clients. Specific security practices are not detailed here.

Account and Setup

DNA Markets offers two live account types—Standard and Raw—plus a demo account. The Standard account uses spread-only pricing, while the Raw account applies a commission per side. Both live accounts require a minimum deposit of USD 100 and support trade sizes from 0.01 lots, with a maximum lot size of 40. Hedging and scalping are permitted. Supported account currencies include AUD, USD, EUR, and GBP. A demo environment is available for MT4 and MT5, and the broker can reset demo accounts upon request. Account opening follows a straightforward online process, including submission of personal details and completion of verification (proof of identity and address) in line with applicable regulations. Trading access is available on desktop, web, and mobile platforms once the account is approved and funded.

Funding Options

DNA Markets supports multiple deposit and withdrawal methods, including wire transfer, UnionPay, Skrill, local deposits/bank transfer, Bitpay, and cryptocurrencies. The broker does not charge internal fees for deposits or withdrawals, although third-party providers may apply transaction or international processing fees. Withdrawals are reviewed by the Finance team and typically take 1–2 business days to process. In most cases, withdrawals can be made using the same method used for deposits, subject to availability in the client’s country of residence.

Bot & API Compatibility

MetaTrader 4 and MetaTrader 5 are supported, enabling the use of Expert Advisors (EAs) for automated strategies, backtesting, and strategy deployment on desktop and mobile. Hedging and scalping are allowed at the account level, which is relevant for algorithmic and high-frequency approaches. External API connectivity is not offered. For traders who favor signal replication, global clients can also access Signal Start for trade copying and account analytics. For any additional platform-side automation specifics, consult the platform documentation within MT4 or MT5.

Trading Conditions& Restrictions

DNA Markets operates an ECN model with variable spreads. Pricing depends on account type: the Standard account uses spread-only pricing, while the Raw account adds a commission per side. Minimum trade size is 0.01 lots and the maximum is 40 lots. Leverage varies by entity and jurisdiction. Hedging and scalping are allowed, and a demo account is available for testing. Swap-free accounts are not offered. Trading is available in forex, commodities, indices, shares, and cryptocurrencies across MT4 and MT5, with access via web and mobile platforms. Specific instrument lists and trading hours depend on the platform and symbol and can be reviewed in the platform’s market watch or contract specifications.
