About Trade Market Cup
Company Overview
Trade Market Cup is a forex and CFD broker registered in the United Kingdom, with its official website at trademarketcup.com. The company was founded on July 22, 2025, making it a relatively new entrant to the online trading space. Its registered address is 20 Midtown, 20 Procter Street, Midtown, London, WC1V 6NX.
According to our records, Trade Market Cup holds a CySEC licence (Market Making, licence no 208/13) in Cyprus, though the status is listed as '—'. The company reports zero employees, which is notable for a broker claiming to offer comprehensive trading services. Independent public information about the broker is limited, and industry databases flag it as having questionable regulatory status and a suspicious operational region.
Regulatory Status
Our records indicate that Trade Market Cup is associated with a CySEC licence (Market Making, licence no 208/13) in Cyprus. However, the status of this licence is not confirmed in our files, and we cannot verify its current validity. The broker's registration in the UK does not automatically grant it authorisation to offer financial services there, and we found no evidence of FCA regulation.
Industry databases and third-party reviews have raised concerns about the regulatory standing of Trade Market Cup, with some sources stating that no valid forex trading licence has been found. This discrepancy between our records and public information underscores the need for caution. Traders should independently verify the broker's regulatory status with the relevant authorities before committing funds.
Account Types and Trading Conditions
Trade Market Cup offers three account types: STPs Pro, Commissions, and Standards. All three accounts share the same minimum deposit of $100 and maximum leverage of 1:3000, with minimum spreads starting from 3 pips. The broker does not disclose commission structures for any of these accounts, which is unusual for accounts labelled 'Commissions'.
The uniform trading conditions across account types suggest that the differences may lie in execution models or additional features, but these are not specified in the available information. The high maximum leverage of 1:3000 is a significant risk factor, particularly for novice traders, as it amplifies both potential gains and losses.
Markets and Instruments
The broker's website mentions trading in Forex, Gold & Silver, and Platinum, and claims to offer over 5,000 financial instruments. However, our records do not list specific instruments or asset classes, and the website does not provide a detailed breakdown. This lack of transparency makes it difficult to assess the actual product range.
Given the limited information, traders should be cautious about the breadth of offerings claimed. A broker that does not clearly disclose its instrument list may not provide the depth of market access that more established competitors offer.
Funding and Withdrawals
Our records do not list any deposit or withdrawal methods for Trade Market Cup. The website also does not appear to provide clear information on how clients can fund their accounts or withdraw profits. This is a significant gap, as reliable and transparent payment processes are essential for any trading platform.
Without verifiable information on funding methods, traders cannot assess the convenience, costs, or security of transactions. This absence of detail is a red flag, especially for a broker that is already under scrutiny for its regulatory status.
Company Background and Presence
Trade Market Cup was founded in July 2025, making it less than a year old at the time of this review. The company reports zero employees, which is unusual for a broker that claims to offer expert support and advanced trading tools. This could indicate a very small operation or a shell company with limited operational capacity.
A physical inspection of the registered London address, as reported by industry sources, found no company signage or listing in the building directory, and the company could not be located. This raises serious questions about whether the broker has a genuine physical presence. Combined with the lack of verifiable website or social-media presence, the overall picture is one of a broker with a very thin operational footprint.
Risk Considerations
Given the short operating history, unclear regulatory status, and lack of verifiable physical presence, Trade Market Cup carries significant risk for potential clients. The FXCanary Scam Risk Score of 47/100 (Guarded) reflects these concerns, with flags for being recently established and having no verifiable website or social-media presence.
Traders considering this broker should conduct thorough due diligence, including verifying the CySEC licence directly with the regulator and seeking independent reviews. The absence of transparent information on funding, instruments, and company operations is a warning sign that should not be ignored. In our assessment, this broker is not suitable for traders who prioritise regulatory security and operational transparency.
