MARKETRIP advertises that it offers a wide range of trading instruments in financial markets, including forex pairs and CFDs on indices, commodities, precious metals, stocks and cryptocurrencies.
Account Types
There are six live trading accounts offered by MARKETRIP, namely Basic, Silver, Gold, Platinum, Diamond and VIP (invitation only). Opening a Basic account requires the minimum initial deposit amount of $250, while the other five account types with the much higher minimum initial capital requirements of $5,000, $15,000, $50,000, $100,000 and $250,000 respectively.

Traders holding different account types can experience quite different maximum leverage ratios. Clients on the Basic account can experience the leverage of 1:100, the Silver account with the leverage of 1:200, the Gold or Platinum account with the leverage of up to 1:300, while the Diamond or VIP account can enjoy the maximum leverage as high as 1:400.

When it comes to trading platforms available,MARKETRIP says to give traders two choices: Metatrader4 and a web-based platform. However, we can only get access to the web-based trading platform.
