Traders Trust
We opened the file on Traders Trust the way we open every file: register first, marketing never. Trading since 2009, with no head office we were able to confirm from a primary source, and carrying 2 licence entries 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| FSA Seychelles | SD141 | Seychelles | T3 | TTCM Traders Capital Limited (company number 54135) | traders-trust.com |
| CySEC (licence surrendered — voluntary renunciation) | 107/09 | Cyprus | T2no longer active | TTCM Traders Trust Capital Markets Ltd (company number 250591) | 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
- TTCM Traders Capital Limited (company number 54135) holds Seychelles FSA securities dealer licence SD141 and is the entity behind the Traders Trust brand.
- CySEC's register records TTCM Traders Trust Capital Markets Ltd (registration 250591), licence 107/09 dated 18 December 2009, as a former investment firm following voluntary renunciation.
- Traders Trust states it has operated since 2009 and that client funds are held in segregated bank accounts.
- The company's own homepage advertises a $50 minimum deposit and dynamic leverage up to 1:3000 on its Seychelles entity.
- Leverage of 1:3000 is far above the retail caps applied in the UK, EU and Australia, which reflects the offshore Seychelles authorisation.
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:
- headquarters
- EUR/USD spread
- negative balance protection
- exact current account tier names

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.
