HORIZON CAPITAL

Horizon Capital (full legal name: Horizon Capital Official) is a retail forex and CFD broker registered in the United States, with a registered address at 225 Central Park West, New York, NY 10024. According to our records, the firm was founded on 26 February 2025, making it a relatively new entrant to the online trading space.

Our records indicate that the broker lists two regulators on file: the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) and the Vanuatu Financial Services Commission (VFSC). However, we note that the licence numbers provided — 416279 for ASIC and 700497 for VFSC — have not been independently verified against the public registers, and the status fields are marked as not available in our records. This is a point of caution for traders.

Horizon Capital claims to be regulated by ASIC in Australia under a Market Making (MM) licence and by VFSC in Vanuatu under a Forex Trading License (EP). The licence numbers on file are 416279 and 700497 respectively, though we have not been able to confirm their validity through public sources.

It is important to note that the broker's own website does not display these regulatory details; instead, it makes broad claims about being established in 2005 and having paid-up capital of over $322 million, which contradict our records showing a 2025 founding date. This discrepancy is a red flag that traders should investigate further.

Horizon Capital offers two main account tiers: 'Advanced' and 'Standard', each with several sub-accounts. The Advanced tier includes Standard, Master Plus, Premium, Ultimate, and Corporate accounts, with minimum deposits ranging from $1,000 to $100,000. The Standard tier includes Standard, Master, and Premium accounts, with minimum deposits from $3,000 to $10,000.

All account types carry a commission of 10%, which is notably high for a retail broker. Leverage and spread details are not disclosed in our records, and the broker's website does not provide specific figures, so traders should seek clarification before committing funds.

The broker's website lists a broad range of products, including Forex, Stocks, Metals, Shares, Indices, Commodities, Cryptocurrencies, and even Real Estate. It also mentions Social CopyTrading, suggesting a platform that supports copying other traders' strategies.

However, our records do not specify which trading platform (e.g., MetaTrader 4/5, cTrader) is offered, nor do they list the specific instruments available. The website itself does not provide detailed platform information, which is a gap for traders evaluating the broker's suitability.

Our records show no information on deposit or withdrawal methods, and the broker's website does not appear to publish these details either. This lack of transparency is concerning, as traders need to know how they can fund and access their accounts.

The registered address in New York is a residential building, which is unusual for a financial services firm. Additionally, the broker reports zero employees in our records, which raises questions about its operational capacity. These factors contribute to a guarded risk assessment.

Horizon Capital is a recently established entity, being only about 17 months old as of our review. It also has no verifiable website or social-media presence beyond its own domain, which is a significant risk flag. Our FXCanary Scam Risk Score for this broker is 47/100, categorised as 'Guarded'.

Traders should be aware that the broker's own claims about its history and capital do not align with our records. Independent public information is limited, and the regulatory licences listed have not been confirmed. We advise caution and thorough due diligence before considering any engagement with this broker.
