Item 1 matters most. In many countries, offering or promoting leveraged CFD and forex products from offshore providers is restricted or prohibited, and regulators publish warnings. Check the position with your own national regulator before depositing with any broker. The score is not an endorsement of any broker.
How to use
- Check each item on the regulator's and broker's official sites.
- Tick only what you could confirm.
- If items 1 and 2 fail, do not deposit.
Frequently asked questions
- Does passing the checklist make a broker safe?
- No. It filters out basic risks. It is not an endorsement of any broker and does not reduce the risk of trading itself.
- Where do I check the legal position in my country?
- Contact your national financial regulator and read its public warnings before deciding.
