CPT’s international catalogue combines forex and other derivatives with specialist gold accounts, managed trading and payment tools. Regional account and contractual differences are set out below, alongside the services that require a separate application.[13][15]

How the main service routes differ
| Route | Published role | Implication for the client |
|---|---|---|
| United Kingdom | CPT Markets UK provides its own trading agreement and execution policy | Client classification determines protection; the terms presume professional status unless the company notifies the client of retail classification.Source 5 |
| South Africa | CPT SA describes onboarding, client-fund handling and other intermediary services | It states that it is not the trade counterparty; the SA disclosure identifies the Belize company as a possible principal.Source 27Source 10 |
| UAE / CPT MENA | Introducing and promotion under the company’s disclosed Category 5 permission | MENA introduces clients to products and services of other group entities; it is not evidence that the resulting trading contract is a UAE brokerage account.Source 32 |
| CPT Global contract | A separately published agreement and execution policy name CPT Global Limited | Use these terms only where that company is the actual counterparty; its AOFA claim does not establish recognised government authorisation.Source 11Source 35 |

Account comparison04
Additional account choices and application steps
| Account or step | Published position |
|---|---|
| Premium Gold — international | Starts from USD 500 with identity verification. Prior gold-market experience is recommended. The page advertises zero commission and gold spreads from 0.0 pips, without defining a cash value for that pip.Source 15 |
| Demo — international | Register with email/mobile details for virtual-money practice on MT4 or MT5. Demo balances cannot be treated as withdrawable funds or an execution-quality test.Source 16 |
| South African account opening | Online application, identification, funding and platform installation. Base-currency choices require confirmation.Source 27 |
| SA due diligence | The agreement authorises identity, credit-standing and investment-history checks, including enquiries to relevant banks, agencies and brokers. The final document request depends on the application.Source 10 |
| Corporate — South Africa | Trading and funding in the company’s name, with multiple authorised traders and use of company funds. Corporate eligibility and documentation are reviewed through the application.Source 31 |
Products & platforms

Published gold and silver specification examples
| Instrument | Size of one lot | Minimum order / exposure | Published spread range |
|---|---|---|---|
| XAU/USD — Prime gold | 100 ounces | 0.01 lot / one ounce | 20–35 points; USD 0.20–0.35 per ounceSource 19 |
| XAUUSD247 — Prime 24/7 gold | One ounce | One lot / one ounce | 120–130 points; USD 1.20–1.30 per ounceSource 19 |
| XAG/USD — silver | 5,000 ounces | 0.01 lot / 50 ounces | USD 0.03–0.05 per ounceSource 19 |
The gold page’s ranges are published product illustrations, without a measurement period or a complete account/entity tariff. A one-lot instruction therefore creates very different gold exposure across the two symbols. The 24/7 label belongs to XAUUSD247; it does not establish uninterrupted trading in ordinary XAU/USD.[19]
Account comparison06
Other product families
| Market | Published examples | What the client holds |
|---|---|---|
| Forex | EUR/USD and GBP/USD examples each use 100,000 units of the pair’s base currency per standard lot | A leveraged price contract; CPT’s illustrative average-spread ranges are not account-specific measured quotes.Source 20 |
| Stock CFDs | US, Hong Kong and European share exposure; US examples include Apple, Microsoft and Nvidia | The stock page describes CFDs without share ownership; dividend events can produce cash adjustments.Source 21 |
| Commodity CFDs | WTI, Brent, natural gas, corn and coffee appear in the commodity catalogue | Cash-settled price exposure; an exchange name used to identify the underlying does not make the account an exchange-futures delivery account.Source 22 |
| Indices | Global index CFDs are included in the account/product offering | A derivative on an index rather than ownership of an index fund.Source 2 |
| Crypto CFDs | Bitcoin and other crypto price products; the BTC table publishes a minimum trade unit of 0.01 BTC | The position does not provide withdrawable Bitcoin or a coin wallet.Source 23 |
Platforms & products07
Platform and analytical access
| Service | Published capability | Relevant distinction |
|---|---|---|
| International trading | MT4, MT5 and the CPT trading app | Account/platform eligibility comes from the actual regional offer.Source 14 |
| CPT App | Order placement, account switching, position/margin monitoring, transaction records and biometric access | In-app support is advertised around the clock; this does not establish every regional telephone team’s hours.Source 24 |
| UK MetaTrader offering | MT4 access through the UK platform page | The UK public platform offer should not inherit every international app feature.Source 3 |
| Myfxbook | Connection of a CPT trading account for performance analytics and tracking | Linked account data is not an independent audit performed for this profile.Source 25 |
| Trading Central — SA FAQ | The FAQ describes access to Trading Central analysis and its interface | Analysis access follows account eligibility.Source 28 |
Fees & holding costs
Sections ↑Without pair-specific spreads and a charging side for commission, the regional ECN schedules do not establish a comparable FX round-trip cost.[28][14]
Pricing & charges08
Carry and inactivity terms are regional
| Scope | Published rule |
|---|---|
| SA swap-free offer | Up to seven consecutive days without overnight fees; the particular position incurs swap from day eight. The page does not establish unlimited-duration swap-free holding.Source 29 |
| Ordinary CFD holding costs | UK terms include financing and automatic rollover charges in the tariff supplied through the trading facility.Source 5 |
| UK inactivity | Up to USD 10 equivalent per month after more than 12 months without trading.Source 5 |
| Instrument sessions | The SA FAQ directs clients to MT4 Market Watch → symbol Specification for instrument trading hours.Source 28 |
Execution & trading rules
Sections ↑Pricing & charges09
Product limits qualify the account headline
| Product example | Published product-page terms | Scope |
|---|---|---|
| Ordinary metals | The gold page describes leverage up to 1:200, and up to 1:400 for its professional offer | Separate product-page wording; verify the classification and live symbol margin.Source 19 |
| US stock CFD examples | One share per contract; example leverage bands differ between companies | The stock schedule should take precedence over a generic 1:1,000 account headline.Source 21 |
| Bitcoin example | The crypto page gives a 1:5–1:10 leverage range | This is the published BTC product range, not proof every regional account can choose it.Source 23 |
Protections & eligibility10
Execution language needs its legal context
| Contract | Published execution approach |
|---|---|
| CPT UK | The policy describes matched-principal execution with CPT UK as counterparty, and separately addresses market-making prices derived from external sources plus adjustments. The marketing label alone does not identify every execution circumstance.Source 6 |
| CPT Global | The March 2025 policy names CPT Global as counterparty and permits internal matching/external liquidity arrangements. Displayed prices are not guaranteed; slippage, delay and partial fills can occur.Source 12 |
| CPT SA | Its terms describe intermediary services and distinguish the principal that accepts trading risk. Margin and liquidation arrangements therefore need the principal’s actual trading agreement.Source 10 |
Deposits, withdrawals & transfers
Sections ↑Pricing & charges11
South African payment FAQ
| Item | Published treatment |
|---|---|
| Payment ownership | Deposits and withdrawals must use the account holder’s name and original funding source; third-party payments are not accepted.Source 28 |
| Withdrawal minimum | USD 50 for Classic and Prime in the FAQ.Source 28 |
| Processing versus arrival | Requests processed within one working day; bank arrival usually 3–7 working days and card refunds up to eight working days.Source 28 |
| Security | The deposit/withdrawal page describes one-time-password withdrawal checks and 3D Secure support for major payment cards.Source 30 |
The SA payment and fees pages advertise fee-free withdrawals and coverage of third-party charges. The FAQ separately allows external charges and mentions a withdrawal charge in another answer. This inconsistency prevents a universal zero-cost payout claim; obtain the method-specific amount before requesting payment.[30][29][28]
Protection & regulation
Sections ↑Protections & eligibility12
The UK contract’s material distinctions
| Area | Published treatment |
|---|---|
| Retail negative balances | Where CPT UK has classified the client as retail, the agreement provides a reset to zero after a negative balance.Source 5 |
| Client money | Normally segregated and potentially pooled; no interest is paid. Overseas banks may be used, with different insolvency treatment. Professional title-transfer arrangements are a separate contractual possibility.Source 5 |
| Professional classification | The retail-protection notice explains that professional classification changes disclosure and other safeguards; experience, trading frequency, portfolio and employment criteria are assessed.Source 7 |
| CFD ownership | The UK forex KID describes indirect exposure without ownership of the underlying asset. Its 2023 examples are not used here as a current retail price tariff.Source 9 |
For an account contracted with CPT Global Limited, the AOFA reference needs a further distinction. In its warning signed 8 December 2025, the Central Bank of Comoros names Anjouan Offshore Finance Authority/Anjouan Corporate Services among bodies it says are not nationally recognised and lack legal authority to issue financial or banking licences. It also states that no relevant licences have been issued for the unregulated forex activities marketed as brokerage licences. This is a warning about the issuing authority; it does not name CPT Markets or CPT Global as an individual enforcement respondent. The AOFA claim is therefore not treated as uncontested national authorisation or a compensation entitlement.[35][11]

Contact and escalation
| Route | Published contact or procedure |
|---|---|
| UK service | +44 (0)203 988 2277, Monday–Friday 07:00–22:00; the page does not specify a timezone. Email [email protected]; a reply within 24 hours is a company service claim.Source 4 |
| UK complaint | The policy provides a written acknowledgement and investigation. For its non-MiFID procedure it specifies a final response, or delay explanation and referral information, within eight weeks.Source 8 |
| External UK escalation | Eligible unresolved cases can go to the Financial Ombudsman Service; the policy describes the usual six-month referral window after the firm’s response. Eligibility and product scope apply.Source 8 |
| SA complaints | CPT SA’s agreement makes it the first point for receiving and recording a complaint; it liaises with the relevant principal broker to pursue resolution.Source 10 |
| International / regional support | [email protected] appears on international and SA pages. The SA site advertises 24/5 support; app/copy services advertise 24/7.Source 24Source 30Source 18 |
Additional services
Sections ↑Platforms & products14
MAM: one manager, multiple sub-accounts
| Function | Published arrangement |
|---|---|
| Master account | The manager executes centrally and allocates trades across sub-accounts using proportional, balance-based or equity-based methods.Source 17 |
| Investor-level settings | Sub-accounts may have different currencies and leverage, with independent risk parameters and performance access.Source 17 |
| Funding and technology | Sub-accounts have independent deposits/withdrawals; the service supports MT4 and MT5.Source 17 |
| Fees and authority | The page does not state one universal manager tariff. The investor’s mandate, manager fees and withdrawal conditions need the applicable agreement.Source 17 |
Pricing & charges15
Copy-trading entry rules and controls
| Item | Published requirement or feature |
|---|---|
| Provider history | A live trading account with at least six continuous months and at least 100 historical transactions.Source 18 |
| Provider risk statistics | Maximum historical drawdown no more than 25%; Sharpe ratio at least 1.2. These are screening criteria, not a future drawdown limit.Source 18 |
| Provider remuneration | A pre-agreed share of follower profits; the public page does not establish one rate for every provider.Source 18 |
| Follower controls | Select a strategy, set risk limits and stop following. Liquidity, latency and account settings can make copied executions and results differ.Source 18 |
Pricing & charges16
Published UCard conditions
| Item | What the card FAQ establishes |
|---|---|

| Spending form | Virtual Visa-network spending card; no ATM cash withdrawal, bank-card transfer or card-to-card transfer.Source 26 |
| Limits | Maximum USD 10,000 per transaction and per day; supported mobile-payment channels can impose a further RMB3,000 transaction limit.Source 26 |
| Transfer/withdrawal fee wording | The FAQ quotes a 1.8% bank handling charge on approved withdrawals and no additional CPT fee. This does not make the card ATM-capable.Source 26 |
| Purchase charges | Overseas charges can apply. The page describes domestic purchases below RMB300 and WeChat payments as fee-free under its stated conditions.Source 26 |
