Research Timeline
This platform operates through multiple regulated entities across jurisdictions. Its Australian entity is supervised by ASIC (Australian Securities and Investments Commission), which enacted product intervention orders in 2021 limiting CFD leverage for retail clients to 1:30 for major forex pairs and 1:2 for crypto assets. Consumers trading through the platform's non-Australian entity may be subject to different leverage limits and consumer protections. IFCCI advises consumers to confirm which entity governs their account by reviewing the Client Agreement and the footer of their trading platform dashboard.
