As this brokerage's website cannot be accessed, we were unable to obtain further details about its trading assets, leverage, spreads, minimum deposit, etc. Note that the broker says it offers the worlds leading MetaTrader5 trading platform.
As for regulation, it has been verified that IMS FX does not fall under any valid regulations. That is why its regulatory status on WikiFX is listed as “No License” and receives a relatively low score of 1.97/10. Please be aware of the risk.
Market Instruments
IMS FX advertises that it mainly offers four different asset classes, including forex, precious metals, crude oil and stock indices.
Account Types
IMS FX claims to offer demo accounts with $10,000 maximum virtual funds. In comparison, licensed brokers allow setting up a starter account with a minimum deposit of $100 or even less. The minimum deposit for a Standard Account is $200 or currency equivalent, while $10,000 and $20,000 for the Premium and GTS Account respectively.
Leverage
Leverage is adjusted based on balance and certain assets. For the Standard Account, IMS FX provides leverage up to 1:500, while precious metals are fixed at 1:100. Leverage for Premium Accounts is reduced to 1:200 for Forex, 1:50 for precious metals, and 1:20 for indexes. In the best GTS Account, leverage has been further reduced to 1:100, precious metals also 1:100, and other CFD assets are at 1:20. It is important to keep in mind that the greater the leverage, the greater the risk of losing your deposited capital. The use of leverage can both work in your favour and against you.
Spreads & Commissions
IMS FX says that it does not charge any commission and the minimum spread is as low as 0.8 pips. Also, all spreads are a floating type and scaled with the accounts offered. Just take the EUR/USD currency pair as an example, the minimum spread is 1.6 pips on the Standard Account, 1.3 pips on the Platinum Account and 0.8 pips on the GTS Account.
Trading Platform Available
MetaTrader4 platform is the only platform supported by IMS FX, available for Windows, Mac and smart devices running on Android or iOS. There is also a web version of MT4 that does not require any download or installation.

There are currently 10,000+ trading apps available on the Metatrader marketplace that traders can use to improve their performance.
