Based on my experience assessing brokers, I found that Olive Tree Capital Markets is a Cyprus-based firm regulated by CySEC, which is a positive starting point. However, my usual investigation into practical trading conditions hit a barrier here—the broker does not publicly provide concrete information on maximum leverage for major forex pairs or for other asset classes. This lack of transparency is unusual compared to most established forex brokers, especially those who allow retail access. In my years trading with regulated European brokers, I know that CySEC imposes a typical cap of 1:30 leverage for major forex pairs for retail clients, designed to reduce substantial risk. Yet, without Olive Tree Capital Markets explicitly confirming their leverage settings, I cannot assume their offering aligns exactly with this standard or whether it changes for other instruments like equities, derivatives, or structured products. As a cautious trader, I view this opacity as an area of concern. Responsible brokers usually state their margin requirements and leverage options clearly, which helps traders make informed decisions and manage risk accordingly. Furthermore, Olive Tree Capital Markets’ focus seems to be on a broader investment service portfolio rather than retail-focused forex trading. For anyone considering opening an account, I’d recommend reaching out directly to their support team for clarification on leverage ratios before funding an account or making any trading commitments. Without this critical detail, I would personally hesitate to proceed.
