ATFX
We opened the file on ATFX the way we open every file: register first, marketing never. Trading since 2017, run out of London, United Kingdom, and carrying 7 licence entries on the public record, 3 of them tier-1. Opened under the FCA entity.
What the two desk scores say
Both are out of 10 and both are computed, not felt.
| Cost score | Priced off the spread basis below, not off a headline rate card. | 7.2 |
|---|---|---|
| Safety score | Weighted on licence tier and on how many of the entries we could re-read at source. | 9.8 |
| Cost per 10 lots | Ten round-turn EUR/USD lots priced at the spread basis, commission excluded. | $80.00 |
Spread basis. sampled EUR/USD average on the tightest retail account. Nothing on this page is a live quote; a spread printed on a Tuesday afternoon is not the spread you get thirty seconds after a non-farm payroll release.

Other records open on the desk
CFDs are complex instruments with a high risk of losing money rapidly due to leverage. A desk file is a record of what the public register said on the day we read it, not a recommendation to open an account.
