Where you trade
The interface is the first major point of divergence. FXIFY offers a superior range of choices for the modern trader, supporting Metatrader 4, Metatrader 5, DXTrade, and TradingView. This allows traders to choose between the classic reliability of MT4 or the advanced charting and social features of TradingView.
Dolvero focuses its entire operation on Metatrader 5. While this limits choice, it ensures that all internal tools and risk management plugins are optimized for a single environment. For a trader, this means a more streamlined setup but less flexibility if they prefer non-MetaQuotes interfaces.
Who executes your orders
The execution quality depends entirely on the bridge to the market. FXIFY partners with FXPIG, a well-known brokerage that provides transparent liquidity. This setup gives traders a clear expectation of spreads and execution speeds associated with a regulated environment.
Dolvero uses institutional liquidity providers that are not publicly identified. This is common in newer firms (founded in 2025) but places more reliance on the firm's internal technology to ensure fair pricing. Dolvero compensates for this with a unique Payout Guarantee: if they don't process an approved withdrawal within 24 hours, they add an automatic 10% bonus to the payment.
Leverage and margin
The technical risk settings define how much capital you can actually control. Dolvero offers significantly higher leverage across the board:
- 500:1 for Cryptocurrencies.
- 100:1 for Indices.
- 20:1 for Stocks and Energies.
In contrast, FXIFY is much more conservative, with a standard 30:1 on Forex (upgradeable to 50:1) and much lower limits on other assets, such as 10:1 for Indices and 2:1 for Stocks.
However, Dolvero enforces a technical "Hard Breach" rule that FXIFY does not: a maximum realized loss of 2% per trade idea on 2-Step and 1-Step evaluations. This means your margin is strictly capped by your risk per position, regardless of the available leverage.
Markets available
If you trade digital assets, the choice is clear. Dolvero includes Crypto (Bitcoin, Ethereum, etc.) in its asset list, whereas FXIFY focuses on traditional markets: Forex, Indices, Commodities, and Stocks. Both firms provide a wide range of currency pairs and major indices, but Dolvero’s inclusion of crypto with high leverage targets a more aggressive, 24/7 market participant.
What the setup lets you do
The technical rules dictate your strategy's viability. FXIFY is significantly more "EA-friendly" on its standard accounts, allowing automated trading and news trading without requiring special permissions. It also permits Hedging and Stacking.
Dolvero has a more restrictive environment:
- EAs require prior approval (24-48 hours).
- News trading is prohibited 30 minutes before/after high-impact events (unless an add-on is purchased).
- VPNs and Proxies are strictly forbidden.
- Holding over the weekend requires a 15% price add-on.
What the setup costs
Execution costs are as important as the challenge fee. FXIFY offers two fee structures: an All-In feed with no commissions but wider spreads, and a Raw feed with a $6/lot commission.
Dolvero uses a notional commission model:
- $20 per $1M notional for Forex and Metals.
- $5 per $1M for Indices.
- $200 per $1M for Stocks.
For a $100,000 2-Step account, both firms charge $549. Dolvero offers a full refund with the second payout, while FXIFY (on standard plans) refunds with the first payout upon request. Dolvero also offers a unique 10% bonus if they miss a 24-hour payout deadline, which is a strong financial commitment to their withdrawal speed.
Better setup for
FXIFY is the better setup for professional traders who need TradingView or MT4 integration and want to run EAs or trade News without technical restrictions or additional costs.
Dolvero is the better setup for Crypto and Index scalpers who require extreme leverage (500:1 and 100:1) and are willing to trade within a strictly controlled risk environment (2% per trade limit) in exchange for very fast, guaranteed payouts.
Frequently asked questions
Which firm is cheaper for a $100,000 2-step evaluation, Dolvero or FXIFY?
Both firms are priced identically for this specific challenge size, costing $549. However, the long-term cost differs in the refund policy: FXIFY typically refunds the fee with the first payout, while Dolvero requires you to reach the second successful payout to receive the refund.
Does Dolvero or FXIFY offer better platforms for technical analysis?
FXIFY offers a much better environment for analysis by providing native integration with TradingView, in addition to MT4, MT5, and DXTrade. Dolvero is limited exclusively to Metatrader 5, which may feel restrictive for traders accustomed to modern web-based charting tools.
Which firm allows more aggressive leverage for crypto and indices, Dolvero or FXIFY?
Dolvero is significantly more aggressive, offering 500:1 leverage for cryptocurrencies and 100:1 for indices. FXIFY does not focus on crypto and limits indices to a much lower 10:1 leverage on its Pro accounts, making Dolvero the choice for traders who need high buying power.
Which firm has stricter rules for automated trading and EAs, Dolvero or FXIFY?
Dolvero is much stricter, as it requires all EAs to be submitted for approval (a process taking 24-48 hours) and prohibits the use of VPNs. FXIFY allows EAs on all standard and Pro accounts without prior authorization, providing a more seamless experience for algorithmic traders.
