Broker Summary

What Wikilix has recorded about ATG: its history, the licences it holds, its trading conditions and its fees.

ATG Broker Overview

ATG is the trading name of Algorithmic Trading Group (ATG) Limited, a company registered in Hong Kong under number 1278862, with contact addresses in North Point, Hong Kong and at Beursplein 5 in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. The company's own website, algorithmictradinggroup.com, is a short corporate site covering the company, its opportunities and its events. It has no client trading area, no account opening form and no platform download.

The trading profile on record for ATG is a MetaTrader 5 deployment, six kinds of account from a Standard tier through ECN and managed money accounts, leverage of up to 1:500 on the entry level account, and card, bank, e-wallet and cryptocurrency funding. Those terms appear nowhere on ATG's current website, and its regulatory standing is claimed rather than confirmed. Both points are set out below.

ATG Regulation and License

One licence is on record for ATG: a Financial Service licence numbered 39889277, attributed to the Financial Markets Authority (FMA). No confirmation of it on the FMA's own public register has been established, so it stands as a claim and not as confirmed regulation.

That entry also carries an inconsistency a reader should know about. It is filed against Hong Kong, while the FMA is New Zealand's financial markets regulator, so the jurisdiction the licence is supposed to cover is unsettled. This profile makes no determination about the licence itself, which is assessed separately.

Is ATG Regulated?

Not on confirmed evidence. ATG is associated with a single licence claim for which no confirmation on the issuing regulator's register has been established, which places it in the claimed rather than the confirmed category. ATG does hold a Hong Kong company registration, but a company registration records only that a company exists and is not financial regulation.

Algorithmic Trading Group (ATG) Limited

Algorithmic Trading Group (ATG) Limited is the legal company behind the ATG brand, and it appears in that form in the copyright line of the company's own website. It is recorded as a Hong Kong company under registration number 1278862.

Its founding date is unsettled. The brand is dated to 2009, while the Hong Kong company carries a registration date in January 2019. Both cannot describe the same entity, so the 2009 figure should not be read as the age of the company a client would be dealing with.

Is ATG Safe?

What is established is mixed, and some of it is incomplete. In ATG's favour, it trades under a named legal company with a Hong Kong registration number and publishes contact details in two countries. Against it, its single licence claim is unconfirmed, the trading terms on record for it are not published on its own website, and two of the three web addresses on record for ATG, atgcapitals.com and atgprime.com, no longer serve a working site.

ATG Account Types

Six kinds of account are on record for ATG: two Standard tiers, a VIP account, an ECN account, a swap free Islamic account, and PAMM and MAM accounts for managed money. Minimum deposits are 100 USD on the Standard tier, 200 USD on the Islamic account, 3,000 USD for VIP and 10,000 USD for ECN, with one Standard tier carrying no minimum deposit figure. What separates the tiers in practice is the minimum deposit, the leverage cap and whether commission is charged.

ATG Spreads, Commissions and Fees

The ECN account is the only one that charges commission, at 3.50 USD per lot. The Standard, VIP and Islamic accounts are commission free. No spread figures are on record for any ATG account, so the spread component of the trading cost cannot be stated, and on the funding side the only charge on record is a 50 USD fee on bank wire withdrawals.

ATG Leverage

The highest leverage on record for ATG is 1:500, on the entry level Standard account. The VIP, ECN, Islamic and second Standard tiers are capped at 1:200, and the PAMM and MAM accounts are not leveraged trading accounts in their own right.

ATG Trading Platforms

MetaTrader 5 is the only platform on record for ATG, listed for desktop, web, Android and iOS. No ATG download link or server name accompanies it, and the platform is not offered anywhere on the company's current website.

ATG Deposits and Withdrawals

Five funding routes are on record: credit and debit cards, bank wire transfers, e-wallets, cryptocurrencies, and ACH or SEPA bank transfers. Card, e-wallet and cryptocurrency transactions are listed as instant and without fees, while bank transfers take around three business days and bank wire withdrawals carry a 50 USD fee. Limits generally run from 50 USD to 50,000 USD per transaction, and card withdrawals may be restricted to the amount originally deposited.

ATG Support

Support is offered in English only, by telephone, email, WhatsApp and live chat during business hours. The published numbers are +852 3711 3622 and +6606-5734 9311 together with a Netherlands line on +31 205 782 180, the WhatsApp number is +971 52 7944 747, and the email address is emailus@algorithmictradinggroup.com.

ATG Pros and Cons

In its favour, ATG trades under a named legal company with a Hong Kong registration number, publishes contact details in two countries, and offers a recognised platform in MetaTrader 5, with a swap free account and managed money options among its tiers.

Against it, the only licence claim attached to ATG is unconfirmed and inconsistent as to the jurisdiction it covers, its founding date does not reconcile with its company registration, and no spread figures are available for any of its accounts.

ATG Review and Assessment

ATG presents as a Hong Kong registered company with an Amsterdam presence behind a minimal corporate website, and the distance between that website and the retail trading profile on record for it is the most important thing to grasp before funding an account. The licence claim attached to ATG is unconfirmed, so there is no verified supervisory protection for a client to rely on. Anyone considering ATG should confirm directly with the company that a retail account is available on the terms described here, and should treat the leverage, deposit and fee figures as unverified until ATG publishes them itself.

Effective

Checked Oct 10, 2026

What our check found

A Dutch investment-firm permission under article 2:96 of the Financial Supervision Act for one activity only, dealing on own account, held by the group company Algorithmic Trading Group Netherlands Management B.V. and passported outward to 17 European countries. It permits the firm to trade its own capital. It does not permit holding client money or handling client orders, so it is not a retail trading licence. Client protection: No client-money protection, because the permission does not allow the firm to hold client money in the first place. Supervision by a tier-1 European regulator over the firm's own trading activity, capital and conduct.. Effective: 03 Jan 2018.

A licence record describes what an authority published. It is not an endorsement, and Wikilix does not issue authorisations.

Country availability

Where ATG says it will and won't take clients

No country restrictions on record. We looked and found nothing published — which is not the same as being open to everyone. Check ATG's terms.

How we know — 9 sources
  1. 1The broker's own website publishes no country policy of any kind. Its complete page list at https://www.algorithmictradinggroup.com/pages-sitemap.xml holds 15 public pages (home, about, team, five vacancy pages, three events pages, in memoriam, contact and useful links), and not one of them states an accepted, restricted or prohibited jurisdiction. All four lists are recorded empty on that basis: this records the absence of a published policy, and is not a finding that residents of every country are accepted.
  2. 2Client agreement and terms: not published. https://www.algorithmictradinggroup.com/terms, /terms-and-conditions, /terms-of-use, /legal, /client-agreement, /documents, /privacy and /privacy-policy each return the site's own 404 page, and no equivalent document appears in the site's page list.
  3. 3Dedicated countries page, FAQ and help centre: not published. /restricted-countries, /prohibited-countries, /accepted-countries, /where-we-operate and /faq each return the site's own 404 page. The site offers no search function, so its full page list was enumerated instead, and it confirms no equivalent page exists under another name.
  4. 4Registration form: the site has no account-opening or registration flow, no page carries a form or a country selector, and no page offers a client login. The About page at https://www.algorithmictradinggroup.com/about describes the company as "a vibrant and fast paced electronic proprietary trading firm, with offices in Amsterdam and Hong Kong" that trades "the major futures and equity markets in Europe, Asia and America", and the only applications invited anywhere on the site are job applications sent to an email address. There is therefore no onboarding country list to read.
  5. 5AML and KYC policy, funding pages and partner or introducing-broker terms: not published. /aml, /aml-policy, /kyc, /deposit, /withdrawal, /funding, /partners and /ib each return the site's own 404 page. The only mention of KYC anywhere on the site is a listed duty in the Middle Office Analyst vacancy at https://www.algorithmictradinggroup.com/general-4-1, which is a job description and not a client policy.
  6. 6Permitted-territory filings: the site names no financial regulator or supervisory authority on any of its pages, so there is no permitted-jurisdiction filing to read for the operating entity. Nothing here was treated as a licence finding.
  7. 7Footer disclaimer and language variants: every page carries the same single footer line, "@2022 Algorithmic Trading Group (ATG) Limited | All Rights Reserved", with no risk disclaimer and no statement of whom the site is or is not directed at. The site is published in English only, with no locale-prefixed variants (/fa and /fa-ir return the 404 page) and no alternate-language markup.
  8. 8One item was referenced and could not be read: the site's own internal page list names a page titled "Disclaimer" at https://www.algorithmictradinggroup.com/popup-bypua, but no page on the site links to it, the address returns the 404 page, and its content is not served. No code in this record rests on it, and it is worth re-checking on the next review.
  9. 9No whitelist is recorded: the broker's own pages nowhere state that residents of any jurisdiction are accepted, and the absence of a restriction is not acceptance.
Recorded by WIKILIX research, not published by the broker, and not a guarantee. A country listed nowhere above is not thereby accepted — check ATG's own terms before you open an account.

Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about ATG

Most Popular Questions

ATG's own website does not present a retail trading service. Its homepage and its full site navigation cover the company, its opportunities, its events and its contact details, with no account opening, no platform download and no client trading area anywhere among its pages. The account tiers, platform and payment methods described elsewhere on this profile are not advertised on that website, so anyone expecting to open a retail trading account should confirm directly with the company that one is available.

Card, e-wallet and cryptocurrency withdrawals are recorded as instant, while bank transfers take around three business days. The only withdrawal fee on record is 50 USD on bank wire transfers; cards, e-wallets, cryptocurrency and ACH or SEPA transfers carry no stated fee. Card withdrawals may be restricted to the amount originally deposited.

Commission is the only trading cost on record for ATG. Its Standard, VIP and swap free Islamic accounts are commission free, and its ECN account charges 3.50 USD per lot. No spread figures are recorded for any ATG account, so the spread component of the cost is unknown and the total cost of a trade cannot be stated.

There is no single minimum deposit for ATG; it depends on the account. The lowest figure on record is 100 USD on a Standard tier, rising to 200 USD for the swap free Islamic account, 3,000 USD for VIP and 10,000 USD for the ECN account. One Standard tier carries no minimum deposit figure at all.

ATG's account range covers two Standard tiers, a VIP account, an ECN account, a swap free Islamic account, and PAMM and MAM accounts for managed money. The tiers differ mainly in minimum deposit and leverage: the entry level Standard account carries the highest cap at 1:500, while the VIP, ECN and Islamic accounts are capped at 1:200. The ECN account is the only one that charges commission.

The two dates attached to ATG do not agree. The brand is dated to 2009, while Algorithmic Trading Group (ATG) Limited, the Hong Kong company behind it, carries a registration date in January 2019. Both cannot describe the same entity, so the 2009 figure should not be read as the age of the company a client would actually be dealing with.

ATG is the trading name of Algorithmic Trading Group (ATG) Limited, a Hong Kong company carrying registration number 1278862. The contact addresses on record place it at the Java Road 108 Commercial Centre in North Point, Hong Kong, and at Beursplein 5 in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. The same company name appears in the copyright line of its own website, algorithmictradinggroup.com.

Yes. ATG offers support in English by telephone, email, WhatsApp and live chat during business hours. Its contact page gives +852 3711 3622 and +6606-5734 9311, plus a Netherlands line on +31 205 782 180, and its WhatsApp number is +971 52 7944 747. The published email address is emailus@algorithmictradinggroup.com.

ATG's highest leverage is 1:500, and it applies to the entry level Standard account. The VIP, ECN, Islamic and second Standard tiers are capped at 1:200, and the PAMM and MAM accounts are not leveraged trading accounts in their own right. So the 1:500 figure does not hold across ATG's whole account range: check the cap on the specific account before funding it.

ATG supports several funding methods including credit/debit cards, bank wire transfers, e-wallets like PayPal, Skrill, Neteller, cryptocurrencies, and bank transfers such as ACH and SEPA. Deposit fees are generally zero, but withdrawal fees and processing times vary depending on the method.
ATG provides access to the MetaTrader 5 platform, which is available on desktop, web trader, Android, and iOS devices. MetaTrader 5 supports multiple asset classes including Forex, stocks, and futures with advanced analytics and algorithmic trading tools.

Not on confirmed evidence. ATG is associated with one licence claim, a Financial Service licence numbered 39889277 attributed to the Financial Markets Authority (FMA), and no confirmation of it on the FMA's own public register has been established. The jurisdiction on that entry is unsettled too: it is filed against Hong Kong, while the FMA is New Zealand's financial markets regulator. Treat ATG as claiming regulation rather than holding confirmed regulation.
