AT Global Markets (SC) Limited

AT Global Markets (SC) Limited, trading under the brand name ATFX, is a forex and CFD broker registered in Seychelles. The company's official website is atfx.com, and it operates under a Securities Dealer licence issued by the Seychelles Financial Services Authority (FSA). The broker is part of the larger ATFX group, which has entities in multiple jurisdictions including the UK, Australia, and Cyprus.

ATFX positions itself as a global brokerage offering online trading services to retail and professional clients. While the exact founding date of the Seychelles entity is not publicly recorded, the broker’s group has been active in the industry since around 2015-2017, based on industry materials.

AT Global Markets (SC) Limited is regulated by the Seychelles Financial Services Authority (FSA) under licence (example – actual number not provided). The FSA Seychelles is a less stringent regulatory body compared to authorities like the FCA or ASIC, which may affect the level of client protection. The broker does not offer negative balance protection or participate in investor compensation schemes typical of top-tier regulators.

Traders should be aware that offshore regulation carries inherent risks, including limited recourse in case of disputes. FXCanary’s proprietary scam risk score of 40/100 (Guarded) reflects these concerns, along with the lack of independent user reviews.

ATFX provides several account types to cater to different trading needs. The Standard account is aimed at retail traders and offers commission-free trading with variable spreads starting from 1.0 pips. The Professional account is designed for experienced traders who meet the eligibility criteria, offering tighter spreads and a dedicated account manager. A Live account is also available for those ready to trade with real funds.

Each account type has specific minimum deposit requirements, leverage limits, and fee structures, which are detailed on the broker’s website. Traders can choose between floating or fixed spreads depending on the account type, and demo accounts are offered for practice.

The broker exclusively offers the MetaTrader 4 (MT4) platform, which is widely regarded as a robust trading platform in the forex industry. MT4 is available for download on Windows and macOS, as well as for use on mobile devices via iOS and Android apps. The platform supports automated trading through Expert Advisors, advanced charting, and a variety of technical indicators.

ATFX does not currently offer MT5 or proprietary trading platforms. The broker’s website also mentions market analysis tools and economic calendars, though specific details on proprietary research are limited.

ATFX offers trading on over 60 currency pairs, including majors, minors, and exotics. In addition to forex, the broker provides CFDs on major stock indices such as the S&P 500, FTSE 100, and DAX 30, as well as commodities like gold, silver, and crude oil. A selection of share CFDs from global companies is also available.

The broker does not offer cryptocurrency trading or real stocks, only CFDs. Leverage varies by instrument and jurisdiction, with maximum leverage of up to 1:500 for professional clients subject to local regulations.

Funding methods include bank wire transfers, credit/debit cards (Visa, Mastercard), and e-wallets such as Skrill and Neteller. Deposits are typically processed instantly for card and e-wallet payments, while wire transfers may take 1-3 business days. The minimum deposit is $100 for most methods.

Withdrawal requests are processed within one business day, according to the broker’s website. No fees are charged by ATFX for withdrawals, though intermediary bank fees may apply for wire transfers. The broker also allows internal transfers between accounts.
