CPT Markets

CPT Markets is a global financial brokerage firm established in 2016 (registered in Belize as of September 7, 2017). It provides online trading services in Forex, Metals, Energy, Indices, and Cryptocurrencies. The company is headquartered in Belize and operates under the domain cptfly.com. CPT Markets targets retail and institutional traders seeking access to multiple asset classes through popular trading platforms.

CPT Markets holds regulatory licences from two jurisdictions: the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) in the United Kingdom, with a Market Making License (MM), and the Financial Sector Conduct Authority (FSCA) in South Africa, with a Derivatives Trading License (EP). Both licences are listed as regulated in aggregated industry databases. However, the broker's registration in Belize may indicate a less stringent oversight framework, and traders should verify the scope of protection offered by each regulator.

The broker offers three account types: Platinum, Standard, and ECN. All accounts require a minimum deposit of $500 and provide a maximum leverage of 1:1000. The ECN account likely offers direct market access with variable spreads, while the Standard and Platinum accounts may feature fixed or variable spreads with different commission structures. The high leverage of up to 1:1000 is notable and carries significant risk.

CPT Markets supports the MetaTrader 4 (MT4), MetaTrader 5 (MT5), and cTrader platforms, which are widely used in the retail forex industry. These platforms offer advanced charting, automated trading via Expert Advisors (EAs), and a range of order types. The broker's instrument list includes Forex pairs, precious metals (e.g., gold, silver), energy commodities (e.g., oil, natural gas), indices, and cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin and Ethereum.

CPT Markets primarily serves traders outside of the United States and Canada, as it explicitly excludes residents of those countries and other restricted jurisdictions due to regulatory constraints. The broker's low minimum deposit and high leverage make it accessible to retail traders with limited capital, but also expose them to substantial risk. The company has a social media presence on Facebook, LinkedIn, and YouTube.

FXCanary's Scam Risk Score for CPT Markets is 19 out of 100, indicating a low-risk profile. This assessment takes into account the broker's regulatory status, transparency, and operational history. However, traders should remain cautious, particularly regarding the high leverage and the Belize registration.
