Checks to complete

Checks marked: 0 / 6

I identified the actual contracting legal entity, not just the trading brand.I checked the entity's current status and permission for this exact service in an official register.The registered website, telephone and location match the firm's actual contacts.I reviewed fees, leverage, client-money arrangements and withdrawal conditions in writing.I asked whether any introducer receives a referral commission or other compensation.I did not rely on a screenshot of a license or a guarantee of returns.

A completed checklist does not prove a broker is authorised or safe. You must verify independently with the correct regulator.

Official public registers

Lebanon — Capital Markets Authority United Kingdom — FCA Firm Checker United States — CFTC / NFA BASIC Mauritius — Financial Services Commission UAE — Securities & Commodities Authority

These links are starting points, not confirmation that any particular firm is licensed. Choose the regulator relevant to the legal entity and activity.

Relationship disclosure

Abbas can introduce visitors to Forex brokers and may receive a referral commission. Check the broker’s identity, permissions and terms independently.
