FXDD
We opened the file on FXDD the way we open every file: register first, marketing never. Trading since 2003, with no head office we were able to confirm from a primary source, and carrying 1 licence entry on the public record, 0 of them tier-1.
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. | not verified |
|---|---|---|
| Safety score | Weighted on licence tier and on how many of the entries we could re-read at source. | not verified |
| Cost per 10 lots | Ten round-turn EUR/USD lots priced at the spread basis, commission excluded. | $not verified |
Spread basis. . 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.
Licence entries, one row per entity
Every row links to the document we read it from.
| Regulator | Licence no. | Jurisdiction | Tier | Licensed entity | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| MFSA | Class 2 Investment Services Licence | Malta | T2no longer active | Triton Capital Markets Ltd | mfsa.mt |
Which entity actually holds your money is decided at signup, by the country on your application — not by the strongest licence in this table. Read the client agreement you are handed, then match the entity name against the row above.
What we were able to confirm
Confirmed at source
- The MFSA published a notice that Triton Capital Markets Ltd (Malta company C 48817, formerly FXDD Malta Limited, LEI 549300GVL196DN9P3377) requested and the MFSA accepted the surrender of its Class 2 Investment Services Licence with effect from 25 August 2026, describing the surrender as entirely voluntary and not the result of regulatory action.
- Finance Magnates reported in August 2026 that FXDD was left without EU authorisation after the surrender, and that Belgium's FSMA had recorded 24 March 2026 as the end date for Triton's cross-border permission in Belgium.
- FXDD's own website (fxdd.com /pe/en/about, checked September 2026) still states that FXDD Malta holds a Category 3 licence from the MFSA - stale after the surrender notice.
- FXDD's company page says the brand adopted MetaTrader starting with MT3 in 2003, later MT4 and MT5, and reports 22 years of industry experience and 450,000+ clients.

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.
