Before you open an account, check the broker's licence in the official FCA Financial Services Register.

Windsor is a forex and CFD broker headquartered in Limassol, Cyprus, with a history that our database dates back to 1988. This review looks at how Windsor works, which regulators oversee it, what trading conditions it offers and where traders should look more closely before depositing money. We also list the parts of the offer that we could not verify, so you know what to check on the official website.

Windsor Brokers Overview: Company Background and Regulation

Windsor operates as a market maker, which means it takes the other side of client trades rather than only passing orders to outside liquidity providers. Its main office is at Windsor Business Center, 53 Spyrou Kyprianou Avenue, Mesa Yitonia, Limassol, with a postal address at P.O. Box 54478, 3724 Limassol. The company offers forex currency pairs, spot precious metals, CFD indices, CFD bonds and CFD commodities.

Regulatory Status and Client Protection

Windsor holds licences from several European regulators: CySec, FCA, ACPR and BaFin. Our records state that the Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission (CySEC) is the regulator that oversees the company from its home base. Holding several licences can be a positive sign, but each licence applies to specific entities and client types, so the protection you receive depends on which Windsor entity you contract with.

Before you transfer funds, confirm the entity name, licence number and the scope of protection on the regulator's own register. Ask the broker in writing which compensation scheme, if any, covers your account. Reading the client agreement carefully will tell you more about your rights than any summary.

Windsor Account Types and Minimum Deposits

Windsor offers accounts in USD, EUR, GBP and PLN, which lets traders fund in a currency they already use. Our database lists two main account types, a Standard account and a Mini account, along with an ECN STP account. The table below shows the minimum deposit figures we hold for each. Minimums can change, so verify them before you fund an account.

Trading Conditions: Spreads, Leverage and Fees

Windsor quotes prices to five decimal places. On major currency pairs, the listed spread is 2 to 3 pips, and the spread type is fixed. A fixed spread stays the same during normal conditions, which makes costs easier to estimate, although fixed spreads can still widen in fast markets depending on the broker's execution model.

The maximum leverage in our data is 1:400, marked with an asterisk. That asterisk means the figure may depend on conditions, such as the account type, the client's location or the regulator. High leverage magnifies gains and losses alike, so a large position size relative to your deposit can create losses quickly. Check the leverage that applies to your own account before placing a trade.

We could not verify commission schedules, swap rates or currency conversion fees from our database. Ask Windsor for a full fee schedule and compare the total cost of a round trip, including spread, commissions and overnight financing, rather than looking at the spread alone.

Trading Platforms and Tools

Windsor supports a wide range of software. Traders can use MetaTrader4, MetaTrader5 and cTrader, along with MT4 WebTerminal, MT4 MultiTerminal and WebTrader. Mobile users can choose MT4 Android, MT4 iPhone Trader or MT4 iPad Trader. Expert advisors are available, so automated strategies can run on supported platforms.

The broker also offers copy trading and lists support for Bitcoin forex trading. Copy trading lets you follow the trades of other accounts, but it does not remove risk, and past results of any signal provider can change. Test any automated tool on a demo account before committing real capital.

Deposits, Withdrawals and Payment Methods

Windsor accepts a broad set of funding options, including credit and debit cards such as Visa-type cards, Maestro, MasterCard, Discover and China Union Pay. E-wallets such as Neteller, Webmoney and Skrill are also listed, as are Western Union, WU Quick Pay and bank transfers. Not every method may be available in every country, so confirm which options you can use during registration.

Our data does not confirm deposit fees, processing times or withdrawal limits. Before depositing, check whether the broker or your payment provider charges a fee and whether a withdrawal must go back to the original funding method. Keep copies of all transfer confirmations in case you need to resolve a dispute.

Customer Support and Languages

Windsor provides its website and client materials in a long list of languages, including English, Arabic, Farsi, Greek, Chinese, Polish, Romanian, Serbian, French, Italian, German and Spanish. Language coverage is helpful for traders who prefer to read contracts and support answers in their own language.

We did not verify support hours, phone numbers or response times. Test the support team before funding your account by asking a specific question about fees or withdrawals and noting how clear the answer is.
