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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| CySEC | 164/12 | Cyprus | T2 | Indication Investments Ltd | cysec.gov.cy |
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
- Libertex states that in Europe the Libertex trading platform is used by Indication Investments Ltd, a Cyprus Investment Firm regulated by CySEC under CIF licence 164/12.
- Libertex's terms-and-fees page states maximum retail leverage of 1:30, consistent with ESMA/CySEC retail limits.
- Libertex is part of the wider Forex Club group; press material issued on the brand's behalf states the group was founded in 1997.
- The Libertex platform charges a commission-based rather than purely spread-based fee model on its CFD account.
Not verified
The following could not be traced to a primary source at the time of filing. We publish the gap rather than a number that would look tidier:
- founded (brand launch year vs group founding year not separated from a primary source)
- spreadEurusd
- segregatedFunds
- publiclyListed
- non-EU Libertex entity, if any
- minDeposit (€100 figure taken from secondary review sources)

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.
