Costs & access
Costs and access for Zeniteri, explained before you commit
What you pay us, what you may pay a broker, and how to tell a price from your own capital.
What you pay Zeniteri
Nothing. The workspace described on the Platform page is free to use, and registering your interest is free too. No deposit is taken by us at any point.
That does not mean trading is free, and it would be misleading to let the two ideas blur. Everything that costs money happens at the broker, and the sections below keep those costs separate from our own.
Why the distinction matters
Trading involves several different kinds of money. Software charges buy the use of a tool, and here there are none. Capital is your own money, held with a broker, and it can be lost. Broker fees are the cost of trading itself. A free sign-up says nothing about the other two, so this page keeps them apart.

Access
What affects whether you can use it
Where you live. Availability depends on your location and on the terms of any service or broker involved. Access is restricted in some countries, and restrictions may change. Being able to view this website does not mean a service is available to you.
Eligibility. A broker will ask you to confirm that you are of legal age and that trading is lawful where you live, and may ask for identity checks. Those checks are the broker's and are explained at that stage.
Withdrawing, cancelling and changing your mind
You can withdraw your consent, and opt out of calls, whenever you like. Conditions for withdrawing funds from a broker account, and for closing it, are the broker's, and they are linked above so you can read them before you commit. We state no withdrawal timings, because they are the broker's to set.
Questions about costs are welcome at [email protected] or on the Contact page.
How we are paid
Free to you, paid by brokers
Zeniteri is a software vendor and marketing affiliate. We receive rebates and referral fees from partner brokers when someone we introduce opens an account and trades. That is how we fund a free product.
It is also a conflict of interest worth knowing about: we benefit if you open an account. Our answer is to be explicit about it and to keep the risk warnings prominent. The About page explains the arrangement.
Questions worth asking any broker
- What is the spread on the instrument I would trade, and does it widen at busy times?
- Are there commissions, financing charges or inactivity fees?
- How are deposits and withdrawals made, and what do they cost?
- Is my money held separately from the firm's, and how is that regulated?
- What happens if my balance falls below a required level?
Cost questions
Common questions about costs
Is the software free?
Yes. Zeniteri does not charge you for using the software or for registering your interest. We are paid separately, by brokers, as explained on the About page.
Does registering my interest cost anything?
No. Nothing is charged and no deposit is taken when you register your interest.
Is a deposit a fee?
No. A deposit is your own capital, placed with the broker so that you can trade. It is not a price for software and not a benefit of using it, and you can lose it.
Who sets trading costs such as spreads and commissions?
The executing broker. They vary between instruments and over time, so read the broker's own fee schedule, linked on the Registration page, before you open an account.
Does being paid by brokers change what I pay?
It does not add a software charge. It can, however, mean we have a financial interest in you opening an account, which is why we say so openly. Compare any broker's costs and terms for yourself.
Can I cancel or withdraw?
You can withdraw your consent, or opt out of calls, at any time by writing to the support address. Cancellation and withdrawal conditions for a broker account are set by the broker; its withdrawal terms are linked on the Registration page.
