PFH Markets 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

PFH Markets offers high leverage and a broad instrument set, but operates without any regulatory oversight, which is a major red flag. The company is registered in Saint Lucia, a jurisdiction known for minimal financial regulation, and lacks client compensation schemes. Traders should exercise extreme caution; the severe risk score of 75/100 reflects the substantial counterparty and fraud risks inherent in trading with an unregulated broker.

Best for
  • Traders comfortable with high leverage (up to 1:400)
  • Experienced traders seeking a large range of CFD instruments
  • Users who prefer the MetaTrader 5 platform
Not for
  • Traders requiring a regulated broker with deposit protection
  • Beginners or risk-averse investors
  • Those who place high importance on transparency and verifiable execution

What PFH Markets says about itself as stated by the broker · not independently verified by FXCanary

Account Types

According to its website, PFH Markets offers three live account tiers: Classic (minimum deposit $100), Pro ($5,000), and VIP ($50,000). The broker states that all accounts provide the same maximum leverage of 1:400 for forex, 1:200 for metals, 1:50 for energies and indices, 1:20 for stocks, and 1:100 for cryptocurrencies.

Trading Platform

The broker claims to use MetaTrader 5 (MT5) as its core trading platform, available for desktop, web, and mobile devices. It highlights that MT5 provides advanced charting tools, automated trading capabilities, and access to over 2,000 trading instruments.

Instruments and Markets

PFH Markets states that it offers more than 2,000 instruments across six asset classes: forex, metals, indices, energies, stocks, and cryptocurrencies. The broker markets itself as a comprehensive CFD provider covering global markets.

Deposits and Withdrawals

The broker’s Deposits and Withdrawals Policy, available on its site, outlines that clients can fund their accounts using various methods listed on the website. It states that withdrawals and deposits must comply with the company’s policy and are subject to verification.

Company Registration and Disclaimer

PFH Markets declares on its website that it is a broker and does not provide investment advice. The legal documents state the company is registered in Saint Lucia as an International Business Company with registration number 2024-00544 under the International Business Companies Act. The site prominently displays a disclaimer warning about fraudulent schemes impersonating the broker.

About PFH Markets

Company Overview

PFH Markets is an online trading platform that provides forex, contract for differences (CFDs), and commodity trading. The company was founded on October 19, 2020, and is registered in Saint Lucia with the registration number 2024-00544. Although the broker lists a United Kingdom registration country in our records, its official address is in Castries, Saint Lucia, and it operates under the laws of Saint Lucia as an International Business Company.

Regulation and Licensing

PFH Markets does not hold any known regulatory licences from major financial authorities such as the FCA, CySEC, or ASIC. Our records show no regulators on file, and the broker’s website does not claim any regulatory oversight. The absence of regulation means traders have no recourse to a financial ombudsman or compensation scheme, representing a significant risk factor.

Account Types and Minimum Deposits

PFH Markets offers three account types: Classic, Pro, and VIP. The Classic account requires a minimum deposit of $100, the Pro account $5,000, and the VIP account $50,000. All accounts offer identical maximum leverage across asset classes, ranging from 1:400 for forex to 1:20 for stocks. The broker does not specify any differences in spreads or commissions between the tiers, which may be a point for traders to investigate before opening an account.

Trading Platforms and Instruments

The broker exclusively uses MetaTrader 5 (MT5) for trading, a widely recognised platform known for its advanced charting, analytical tools, and algorithmic trading support. PFH Markets claims to offer over 2,000 trading instruments, covering forex pairs, metals, indices, energies, stocks, and cryptocurrencies. This extensive instrument list may appeal to traders seeking diversification, but the lack of regulatory oversight means the pricing and execution quality cannot be independently verified.

Deposits and Withdrawals

PFH Markets provides a Deposits and Withdrawals Policy on its website, available as a PDF, outlining the general rules for funding and withdrawing client funds. The policy states that clients can use various payment methods listed on the site, but does not specify which methods are accepted. Withdrawals are subject to compliance with the company’s terms. Traders should carefully review the policy and test the withdrawal process with a small amount before committing larger sums.

Target Audience

Given the high leverage offered (up to 1:400) and the large number of instruments, PFH Markets appears to target both retail and experienced traders. The VIP account with a $50,000 minimum suggests a focus on high-net-worth individuals. However, the lack of regulation makes this broker unsuitable for risk-averse traders or those who prioritise client fund security and regulatory protection.
