Astra Prime Broker

Astra Prime Broker is a retail forex and CFD brokerage based in San José, Costa Rica, registered in 2025. The company operates under the domain astraprimebroker.com and offers trading services to retail clients worldwide. The broker positions itself as a hybrid platform, combining traditional forex brokerage with a proprietary trading challenge program under the brand 'CFD Prime.' Its physical address is at Centro Corporativo Plaza Roble, Escazú, San José.

As of the time of this review, Astra Prime Broker holds no regulatory licenses from any financial authority. This is a significant risk factor for traders, as unregulated brokers lack the oversight and investor protection mechanisms that regulated entities must provide. The broker does, however, claim to adhere to international AML/CFT standards and has a KYC policy in place, though compliance is self-reported without external verification.

The broker does not explicitly list the financial instruments it offers, but its account types (RAW ECN and Standard) suggest coverage of forex, CFDs on indices, commodities, and possibly cryptocurrencies. The trading platform is not specified on the website, though the site mentions a 'futuristic' interface with AI tools. It is likely that the broker uses a proprietary web-based platform rather than industry standards like MetaTrader.

Astra Prime Broker offers two main retail account types: RAW ECN and Standard, both with a minimum deposit of $100. The RAW ECN account is aimed at experienced traders seeking direct market access with tighter spreads, while the Standard account is suited for casual traders. Both accounts offer a maximum leverage of 1:500, which is high relative to regulated brokers and amplifies both potential profits and losses. Additionally, the broker runs a proprietary funding program (Live Pro) where traders pay a small deposit to control larger capital.

The broker claims daily withdrawals are available on all accounts, with no restrictions on profit withdrawals for funded accounts. For the Live Pro accounts, withdrawal is 100% of daily profits. Standard and RAW ECN account withdrawal policies are not detailed, but typical unregulated brokers offer various methods such as bank transfers, credit cards, and e-wallets. The website does not list specific payment providers.

Astra Prime Broker operates a proprietary trading challenge called CFD Prime, which is marketed as a no-cost evaluation. Traders select a virtual account size ($10k, $25k, or $50k) and undergo a single-phase challenge with no time limit. The rules include a 10% maximum drawdown and an 80% profit split in favor of the trader upon passing. This model is common among prop firms but unusual for a retail broker, blurring the line between brokerage and funding platform.

Astra Prime Broker appears to target both retail traders looking for high-leverage forex trading and aspiring funded traders who want to access larger capital without risking personal funds. Due to the lack of regulation, the broker is not suitable for risk-averse traders or those in jurisdictions requiring licensed brokers. The high leverage and prop challenge may appeal to experienced, speculative traders willing to accept the elevated risk.
