HighMarkets Review

HighMarkets is a CFD trading brand operated by DXA Seychelles Limited, a company registered in Seychelles under number 8438281-1. The brand offers trading across six asset categories through a web platform and a mobile app, both built around TradingView’s charting engine rather than MetaTrader. Four account tiers are on offer: Silver, Gold, Platinum, and an Islamic swap-free option layered onto any of the three. HighMarkets doesn’t publish a founding date anywhere on its site, so how long the brand has actually been operating under this name is impossible to pin down from its own materials.

HighMarkets holds the Securities Dealer license SD218, issued by Seychelles’ Financial Services Authority to DXA Seychelles Limited. It shows up on the regulator’s own public register, not just on HighMarkets’ marketing pages. That alone puts this review in different territory than most of the brokers we’ve flagged, where the license itself couldn’t be pinned down at all.

What the register also shows is where the caution comes in. DXA Seychelles Limited isn’t accredited to run one website. The same license backs more than one branded trading platform, and one of those other brands is Algobi, a broker Brokers Alerts has already reviewed and rated a Scam Warning after our own withdrawal test on that platform went unresolved.

A single Securities Dealer accreditation covering multiple, separately branded consumer-facing sites isn’t against the rules in Seychelles, plenty of licensed firms there operate more than one storefront, but it does mean a trader signing up on highmarkets.com has no way of knowing, from HighMarkets’ own pages, that they’re dealing with the exact same regulated entity that already left us with an unpaid withdrawal under a different name.

Seychelles’ FSA is also an offshore-tier regulator. It requires real paperwork and a real license number, which is more than several brokers on this site can claim, but it doesn’t carry the enforcement weight or client-protection framework of a regulator like the FCA or ASIC. A trader depositing here is relying on a jurisdiction with lighter oversight and, now, a documented history tied to this same license.

Rather than MetaTrader, HighMarkets built its own web platform and mobile app, both running on TradingView’s charting infrastructure. The web version is pitched as a full-screen workspace for deeper technical analysis, with the drawing tools and indicator depth TradingView is known for.

The mobile app trims that down to a simpler, faster interface meant for checking positions and reacting to price moves rather than deep charting on a small screen. Account creation and access to the client dashboard worked without any issues on our end, and TradingView’s charting held up exactly as expected. What we couldn’t do was run either platform through a genuine execution stress test, because the one thing that would have told us the most, closing out a real position and pulling the funds, is precisely where this review stopped.

HighMarkets covers six CFD categories: forex majors, minors, and crosses; metals including gold, silver, and platinum; a selection of major cryptocurrencies; CFDs on internationally listed stocks; commodities such as oil and natural gas; and indices, with the S&P 500, NASDAQ 100, DAX 40, and FTSE 100 named specifically among the markets covered. That's a reasonably broad category spread for a broker of this profile, though HighMarkets doesn't publish an actual instrument count anywhere, so there's no way to know from the site itself how many individual pairs, stocks, or coins sit inside each category.

Funding an account accepts Visa, Mastercard, Maestro, Apple Pay, and Google Pay, along with bank transfers and select e-wallets depending on region. Card and e-wallet deposits post close to instantly; bank transfers take longer, in line with how that payment rail works everywhere. HighMarkets’ own published policy sets withdrawal processing at up to three business days from its side, after which the timeline depends on the payment provider, and requires full account verification before any withdrawal is released. Our $100 test withdrawal cleared verification and was submitted well within normal conditions. That three-day window has long since passed, and the funds still haven’t arrived, been rejected, or come with any explanation for the hold.

HighMarkets has three support channels, all running 24 hours a day, five days a week: live chat with a stated immediate response, email with a typical one-business-day turnaround, and phone support. We opened a live chat thread specifically about the delayed withdrawal. It didn’t move the situation forward. Whether that reflects a broader pattern in how HighMarkets handles support tickets or just this one case, we can’t say from a single interaction, but it’s worth noting that the channel most likely to get a fast answer didn’t produce one here.

As of September, 2026, Brokers Alerts has zero independently confirmed Report a Broker submissions on file for HighMarkets. Complaint Record reads as insufficient volume to assess rather than a clean track record, since formal monitoring on this brand only began with this review. That score is calculated separately from the withdrawal test above, which drives the Withdrawal Reliability knockout on its own regardless of how many complaints exist elsewhere.

We opened a HighMarkets account, completed the verification steps the platform requires, and funded it with $100 using a card deposit that was posted within minutes. After a short holding period, we submitted a withdrawal request for the same amount through the client area, exactly as HighMarkets’ own policy instructs. The stated processing window is up to three business days. That window closed without payment, without a rejection notice, and without any message explaining what was holding it up. As of this review, the request is still open and unresolved.
