FxBay Live is a Mauritius-based forex and CFD broker established on December 5, 2019. The company is registered at Premier Business Centre, 10th Floor, Sterling Tower 14, Poudriere Street, Port Louis, Mauritius. It operates through the website fxbaylive.com, offering online trading services to retail clients globally.

As of our review, FxBay Live is not regulated by any major financial authority. The broker's website contains a generic statement claiming to be 'Licensed In Saint Vincents,' referencing Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, which is not a recognised regulatory body for forex brokers and does not provide oversight. This lack of regulation is a significant factor for traders to consider.

FxBay Live offers three distinct live trading accounts to cater to different trader segments. The VIP account requires a minimum deposit of $10,000 and provides a maximum leverage of 1:100. The PRO account is designed for intermediate traders, with a minimum deposit between $500 and $5,000 and leverage up to 1:400. The ECN account is targeted at experienced traders and scalpers, with a minimum deposit starting at $100 and the highest leverage of 1:500.

All accounts provide access to the broker's trading platforms and instruments. The tiered structure allows traders to choose based on capital and leverage preferences. However, the high leverage options, particularly 1:500, carry substantial risk and may not be suitable for all investors.

The broker lists a broad range of tradable assets, although the exact number varies across its marketing materials. According to the company description, over 250 instruments are available, including forex pairs, stock indices, commodities (oil, metals), bonds, and CFDs on various underlying assets. The website also mentions over 80 trading instruments in some sections, indicating possible inconsistencies in their offerings.

Detailed instrument lists, including specific forex pairs and CFD products, are not readily visible without logging into the client area. Traders are advised to verify the complete range of available assets before committing funds.

While specific platform names are not explicitly mentioned on the website or in our known facts, the broker's registration page and client area suggest a web-based trading interface. Typical forex brokers of this nature often offer MetaTrader 4 (MT4) or a proprietary platform, but without confirmation, we cannot specify the exact platform.

The broker claims a 'Secure Client Area' for account management, deposits, and withdrawals. The website also displays various payment method logos, indicating support for multiple funding channels including credit/debit cards, bank transfers, and e-wallets.

FxBay Live appears to target retail forex traders seeking high leverage and low initial deposits. The availability of accounts from $100 makes it accessible to novice traders, while the VIP tier caters to high-net-worth individuals. The unregulated status and high leverage offerings typically appeal to traders who are willing to accept significant risk.

Given the lack of regulatory oversight, the broker is likely not suitable for traders who prioritise fund security, transparency, and recourse in case of disputes. It may appeal to speculative traders looking for maximum leverage and minimal entry barriers.
