The HFT Group has finalised an agreement with LMAX Exchange for a 12% discount on all commission charges for all the account types offered by LMAX.

Additionally, accounts can be opened with a minimum $1000 USD deposit instead of the normal $10,000 USD minimum.

This offer is available to all forum members and traders wishing to take advantage of a discounted commission rate with the excellent trading environment offered by LMAX Exchange.


Discounted commission rates are 22 per million notional for the LMAX web based trading platform and a fixed commission rate of $5.72 per lot r/t for the mt4 based account.

Existing LMAX accounts are eligible and can be transferred to the HFT Group IB to receive the 12% discount. Please email [email protected] for details.

LMAX do not accept US residents and the HFT Group is unable to take applications from Australian residents.

Full details available on the HFT Group website.

Sounds great. If I already have an account with LMAX can I still setup a fresh one with this deal?

Just found out LMAX do not accept clients/residents from Singapore.
Yes, finding all this out as we are going along unfortunately.
It seems that residents of Australia, Singapore, Canada and of course the US are unable to open accounts with LMAX.
Just hope the list doesn't get any longer.
My understanding is that is involves the fact that LMAX Exchange are a wholesale provider and unable to take 'retail' clients from some countries due to licensing implications/restrictions.
Just thought I'd add my experience here. As a satisfied LMAX client, I saw this thread and thought well 12% off commissions is worth a go. I asked LMAX if I could transfer my account to this IB, and they said no, but I could open a new account through the HFT link without problem, and they would make a note of it that I would be applying. I did this, and today deposited a small amount to trade and check the commissions, and everything works as expected ie my commissions are 12% less at source.

Well done and thanks, Jon!

is the $20 per million is one side; or round lot?

for example; I have an account with Armada; and the total commission (round trip); is $40 per million.
Its 20$ per side per million USD traded. So eur/usd is $20 * 1.3080 = $26,16 per side, $52,32 per round-turn ( or 0.52 pips).
in that case; why don't you go with Armada; they charge $20 per side outright.

Yes thats cheaper. But i dont want to be an unsecured creditor of an estonian llc whose owners have a dodgy regulatory history. If you stay in the UK, at least you get GBP 50K back, if the worst comes to the worst.

My take on this is if you've got a small (under 10k) account and want to take advantage of the higher leverage then go with Armada.

If your account is over 10k and are generally taking low risk entries then may as well go with LMAX.

No harm in having both for different requirements. I've now got 2 live accounts with both of em.

Yes, fair enough, but if you go through an IB like this one, or Fxmtf, you can open an lmax account for 1k, AND have the security that your money is held in the UK with LMAX. Not wanting to dish Armada, I have no experience with them, but your money's more secure in the UK.

The only advantage I see, is the higher leverage 500:1 as opposed to 100:1, but you shouldn't need more than 100:1 anyway if you're using decent MM.

Hi there,
Currently have an LMAX acct and their rt costs are eye wateringly high so would be v happy to get on board.
One thing I don't understand is the structure regarding where my money is held and who is legally responsible.
Am I co-mingling my money with HFT Group accounts which is then used by LMAX? What is the difference between me having an account with LMAX and having an account with HFT Group and LMAX?
Thanks in advance for any responses.
