Regulatory profile

FXTRADING.com is a forex & CFD broker founded in 2014 and headquartered in Australia.

In our database FXTRADING.com is matched to 2 licences from ASIC and VFSC. Most importantly, the ASIC (Australia) is among the regulators we classify as tier 1 — bodies with strict capital, client-money and conduct rules.

Be aware that a single FXTRADING.com website can front several legal entities. Its ASIC-regulated companies serve local residents, while international clients are frequently handled by entities supervised by VFSC, which offer much weaker safeguards.

None of the regulators we have matched to FXTRADING.com operates a statutory compensation scheme covering retail forex, so the safety of your deposit relies mainly on segregation of client funds and the broker's own financial strength. Negative balance protection is mandatory for retail clients under ASIC rules. Retail leverage caps apply at the ASIC-regulated entities (for example 30:1 on major FX pairs at ASIC).

FXTRADING.com offers MT4 and MT5.

  • Licensed by 1 tier-1 regulator (ASIC)
  • Negative balance protection required at some entities

Points to check
