There is little information in the Russian version of the site. Obviously, the broker does not take seriously the Russian-speaking audience due to professional and legal restrictions.

The broker does not practice a division by accounts types depending on the size of the deposit. A demo account is available, but only after registration.
Replenishment and withdrawal of money is possible only with the help of bank transfers and debit or credit cards.
There are commissions, their size depends on trade turnover. Russian-speaking customers are invited to find out their sizes in the customer support service by phone +44 20 3192 2555.
Conclusion about LMAX Global
This is the case when the official work and regulation of the broker's activities make its services practically inaccessible to residents of the post-Soviet space. And it is not just about a high minimum deposit of $ 10 thousand. The broker will simply dismiss a person who wants to invest much bigger amount of money because in his/her country brokerage services are still outside a legal field. This means that good British broker should not provide such customers with services.
