FTD: BVI forex and CFD accounts, MT5 and published trading conditions

The jurisdiction notice makes availability conditional on local law. A BVI permission does not establish authorisation to solicit clients in every country. The site also states that services are unavailable to residents of Turkey; residency acceptance must be established for the actual application.[12][11]

UK and US residents are also expressly excluded.[3]

The risk disclosure describes non-deliverable OTC contracts. Price exposure should therefore not be presented as ownership of shares, cryptocurrency or physical commodities, and OTC execution is not equivalent to placing an order on the underlying exchange.[4]

The FX page says swaps vary with liquidity-provider rates, are converted to the account currency and are processed at 23:59 server time. The current MT5 symbol specification is the relevant place to check the applicable long and short rates.[2]

The agreement reserves an unspecified dormant-account charge; its separate five-year uncontacted-funds clause is not a monthly fee schedule.[3]

Contract wording is inconsistent: the Terms of Business describe principal-to-principal dealing, while the Customer Agreement allows agency dealing and, where necessary, principal dealing. The official BVI entry confirms agency dealing only.[3][9]

The risk warning explains that stops and other orders can execute away from the requested price during fast markets or gaps. Connection failures can prevent timely instructions. Neither a stop trigger nor an on-screen quote should be treated as a guaranteed fill.[4]

The agreement provides online balances, positions and order status. A specific tax certificate, export format or permanent post-closure archive was not established.[3]

The contract permits bank and cryptocurrency funding. Withdrawals are limited to the lower of available equity and cash, with verification and own-name requirements. Cryptocurrency withdrawals require an owned wallet and allow at most two separate wallets. Account-currency conversion uses the broker’s rate.[3]

The retail overview lacks a complete payment tariff and processing timetable. A funding asset is not necessarily the trading ledger’s currency.[1]

The BVI regulator’s firm page was updated on 31 August 2026 and lists FTD Limited among currently regulated entities, with the activity “Dealing as Agent”. The retrieved entry does not independently show the website or licence number. Broader principal-dealing wording in the broker’s contract therefore remains a distinct scope issue.[9]

The company identifies BVI incorporation number 1944994. Registration and the licence reference identify the legal company; they do not turn every website product, service or overseas sales activity into an independently verified regulatory permission.[4]

Retail segregation differs from professional title transfer, which can make funds company property. The legal bundle caps designated retail losses at invested capital but elsewhere requires deficit repayment; that scope conflict remains unresolved. Cross-account set-off is permitted.[3]

The company overview advertises segregation and negative-balance protection. It does not establish a named insurer, individual payout limit or complete unconditional negative-balance guarantee. Client classification and the accepted agreement must determine the actual protection.[10]

The risk warning permits telephone instructions to modify or close positions, but does not guarantee telephone availability.[4]

A dedicated dealing number, authentication procedure and desk hours were not established. Preserve the order reference and outage time; an inquiry is not confirmation of execution. A complaint-resolution clock was also not established.[11]

Compromised credentials must be reported promptly. A fixed withdrawal hold following account recovery is not specified.[3]

FTD’s institutional page offers FIX connectivity, third-party vendor integration and white-label services. It does not establish a retail API entitlement or public key scopes, withdrawal permissions and revocation controls. Those details require the relevant institutional agreement. The same page is not evidence of a retail copy-trading mandate or published disconnect rules.[13]

The quantitative-research description concerns internal models, machine learning, treasury and risk processes. It does not grant software authority to trade a customer’s account. No separately documented retail AI agent with defined approval controls or autonomous order permissions was established.[14]

Research and market publications are described as information rather than individual investment advice. Their availability does not establish a managed-account relationship, compensation for investment losses or an undertaking to update every earlier publication.[12]

FTD dates its business to 2017 and markets both individual trading and institutional infrastructure. These are company statements, separate from the current BVI regulatory record. No completed customer migration or brand transfer was established in the reviewed company history, so this profile does not map accounts to an inferred successor.[10]
