Is it safe — and legal — to deposit from European Union (EEA)?

The legal picture in European Union (EEA)

EEA residents onboarded to an EU-authorised entity get leverage caps (30:1 maximum on major forex pairs), negative balance protection, and an investor compensation scheme up to €20,000. The same brand often runs an offshore entity for the rest of the world with none of those. Binary options are banned for retail clients across the EEA.

The viable minimum in European Union (EEA)

about €185 (about $200). About €185 is the practical floor under EU cost structures — the advertised €5–€20 minimums are accepted minimums, not viable ones.
