La clasificación por niveles usa la misma escala que el registro minorista: nivel 1 = supervisión tipo FCA/ASIC/CFTC, nivel 2 = tipo CySEC/FSC-Mauricio/MFSA, nivel 3 = registro offshore. Una licencia de nivel 2 es supervisión real sin fondo de compensación al inversor: nunca la confundas con la protección de nivel 1.

Una firma que publica su propio espacio negativo —a quién rechaza, dónde no tiene licencia— es mucho más fácil de analizar que una que no lo hace. Aquí la lista de rechazos se trata como información publicada, no como un defecto.
