This ensures deposit amounts meet or exceed the minimum deposit level without manual intervention. Nigerian traders can thus fund accounts in USD, EUR, or other supported currencies seamlessly.

Deposit Limits and Restrictions

While the minimum deposit is fixed at 30,000 NGN, there are no maximum deposit limits for Nigerian traders. However, deposits exceeding 5 million NGN may trigger additional verification for regulatory compliance. Our system notifies users of any such requirements during the funding process.

Funding Via Electronic Wallets

OctaFX supports Skrill, Neteller, and Perfect Money wallets with NGN balances. Nigerian traders can link their wallets to their trading accounts and perform wallet-to-wallet transfers. These methods offer instant confirmation and reduced processing delays compared to traditional bank transfers.

Trading Platform Access After Deposit

After funding your account with the minimum deposit, download MetaTrader 5 (MT5) from our official website or app stores compatible with iOS and Android.

Trading Costs and Account Maintenance

OctaFX does not impose monthly maintenance fees on active trading accounts in Nigeria. Our income derives primarily from spreads and commissions. Spreads start at 0.6 pips on major currency pairs for Standard accounts, while Pro accounts benefit from tighter spreads starting at 0.2 pips. This pricing is competitive within the Nigerian forex market environment.

Overnight financing charges (swap rates) apply to positions held past market close at 23:00 GMT. These rates are based on interbank lending rates and vary between currency pairs. The platform automatically deducts these charges from account balances.

Commission Structure

For most forex pairs, OctaFX uses a spread-only model with no additional commissions. CFD instruments, including indices and commodities, incur fixed commissions charged per lot traded. All costs are displayed transparently before order confirmation. Nigerian traders can review all fees directly within the trading interface.

Account Activity and Maintenance

Accounts inactive for more than six months are subject to inactivity fees. We notify users in advance to prevent unintended charges. Active traders maintaining regular trades or deposits avoid these maintenance costs entirely.
