FTD operates in your country (United States) — but holds no local license. You’d likely be onboarded under an offshore entity, which means weaker fund protection. Confirm which entity before depositing.

Review analysis AI

FTD is a retail FX/CFD broker operating under an offshore FSC license from the British Virgin Islands. While it claims a large client base and extensive instrument list, the offshore regulation and lack of detailed public information on account conditions, fees, and funding methods raise caution. FXCanary's Scam Risk Score of 31/100 (Guarded) reflects these informational gaps and the lower regulatory tier, suggesting traders should proceed with due diligence.

Best for
  • Traders seeking a wide range of instruments on MT5
  • Users interested in offshore-regulated brokers
  • Introducing brokers looking for a revenue-sharing program
Not for

About FTD

Company Overview

FTD is a financial services company registered in the United Kingdom and established in March 2020, though its website claims operations since 2017. The broker presents itself as a multi-asset trading platform catering to retail and institutional clients worldwide. It operates under an offshore regulation from the British Virgin Islands Financial Services Commission (FSC), holding a Market Making License. The broker’s official domain is ftdsystem.com.

Regulatory Status

FTD is licensed by the BVI FSC under Investment Business Licence number SIBA/L/19/1123. This is an offshore regulation, which typically offers a lower tier of investor protection compared to major onshore regulators like the FCA or CySEC. Traders should be aware that such licenses may not provide access to compensation schemes or dispute resolution mechanisms available in stricter jurisdictions. The known facts confirm the FSC license as the sole regulatory credential on file.

Trading Platforms

The broker exclusively offers the MetaTrader 5 (MT5) platform, available on desktop, mobile, and web versions. MT5 is a widely-used platform known for its advanced charting tools, algorithmic trading via Expert Advisors, and multi-asset support. FTD emphasizes the platform’s suitability for traders of all levels, with features like an integrated economic calendar and multiple timeframes.

Market Instruments

FTD claims to provide access to over 15,000 trading instruments spanning forex, shares, commodities, ETFs, treasuries, indices, and cryptocurrencies. The forex offering includes more than 50 currency pairs, covering majors, minors, and exotics. The broker positions itself as a one-stop destination for diverse asset classes, targeting both active retail traders and institutional firms seeking deep liquidity.

Account Types and Target Audience

The website does not specify detailed account tiers or minimum deposit requirements. It offers a demo account for practice and a live account for real trading. FTD also promotes an Introducing Broker (IB) program with lifetime revenue share and real-time reporting, aimed at partners and affiliates. The broker appears to target a global audience of retail traders, professional traders, and financial institutions.

Funding and Support

FTD does not publicly list specific funding methods or fees on its main pages. Clients are directed to open an account to access further details. The broker provides customer support through its website and social media channels (Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Twitter/X). The lack of transparent deposit/withdrawal information may be a consideration for potential users.
