What Bridge Markets legally published, but does not want you to read

Every clause below is published by Bridge Markets itself, on its own website, today. The finding is not that the text exists. It is the distance between what a client is shown and what a client agreed to. Read from its own documents on .

Bridge Markets can keep the money you deposited, not just your profit. Close more than five trades inside two minutes and clause 13.3 lets it suspend your account and keep your deposit, with no refund. The contract also says a withdrawal is a request it can refuse, on no deadline, while the website promises you can reach your money around the clock. It names no spreads, no swap rates and no fees anywhere, and gives you three calendar days to complain.

The numbers in this contractFigures taken from this broker's own clauses, so the labels differ from broker to broker. The four in the panel above are the same on every report.

3 of these 4 figures come from a clause we rate critical, which means it can take your money or your profit rather than only delay it.

What the documents say

25 clauses worth knowing about, worst first, each quoted from Bridge Markets's own files

01

Close more than five trades in under two minutes each and Bridge Markets can suspend your account and keep the money you paid in. Clause 13.3 calls that retention definitive and non-refundable. This is not about your profit. It is about your deposit.

Why this matters

You can lose everything you funded the account with, for trading too fast rather than for anything dishonest. Scalpers and news traders hit five quick trades in an afternoon, and nothing in the clause requires Bridge Markets to warn you first.

Exhibit 1CriticalRarely seen5

Any account that, as a result of an internal audit, registers more than five (5) trades closed in less than two (2) minutes will be considered engaged in unauthorized High-Frequency Trading (HFT) practices. This conduct constitutes a serious breach of usage policies and will lead to the immediate suspension of the account, as well as the definitive and non-refundable retention of deposited funds.
Clause 13.3 in Client Agreement
Read from the broker's site on Open the reference

Our readingMany brokers void profit made by trading they call abusive. Keeping the client's own deposited capital as well is rare, and this clause does it on a mechanical trade-count test rather than on proof of any abuse.

Any breach of the same rulesBridge Markets can block withdrawals, retain funds, cancel benefits and report you to the authorities.13.3
  • Worse together with Exhibit 7One clause lets Bridge Markets keep your deposit and the other says no deadline applies to getting any money out, so there is no point at which it has to settle with you.
02

The services page tells you that you can reach your money around the clock and withdraw without complications. Clause 13.7 of the contract says a withdrawal is a petition Bridge Markets reviews and approves, and is not an automatic, immediate or guaranteed right.

Why this matters

You will decide to deposit on the basis of the page, then be held to the clause. Clause 4.2 does promise one to three business days, but clause 13.8 takes that back by saying no specific deadline is guaranteed.

Exhibit 2CriticalHarder than usual3 working days

The Client acknowledges, understands, and expressly agrees that every withdrawal request constitutes a petition subject to review, validation, and approval by Bridge Markets, and does not represent an automatic, immediate, or guaranteed right, regardless of the balance reflected on the platform.
Clause 13.7 in Client Agreement
Read from the broker's site on Open the reference
  • Same clause as Exhibit 7The same two clauses that break the marketing promise also remove any outer limit on how long a review can run.
03

Clause 15.3 says not every profit shown on the platform is valid for withdrawal. Bridge Markets can review, adjust or invalidate a profit it decides came from minimal exposure with extreme return, or from statistically atypical behaviour.

Why this matters

A single good week can be treated as a reason to take your winnings back. Clause 15.5 then says Bridge Markets does not have to tell you the criteria it used to decide, so you cannot argue with the maths.

Exhibit 3CriticalHarder than usual

Bridge Markets may determine that certain profits do not meet sustainability criteria, remaining subject to review, adjustment, or invalidation prior to any withdrawal.

  • Worse together with Exhibit 10On synthetic indices Bridge Markets both generates the price your profit is measured against and decides whether that profit counts.
04

Bridge Markets does not state its spreads, swap rates, margin levels or account parameters in the contract. Five separate clauses send you to a "Trading Conditions" section of its website instead. No such section exists on the site.

Why this matters

You cannot find out what trading will cost you before you deposit, because the numbers are not in the contract and not on the site. Clause 6.9.3 also lets Bridge Markets widen spreads whenever it judges volatility to be high.

Exhibit 4CriticalHarder than usual

The Company may increase spreads in specific situations, such as periods of high volatility. The updated values will be available in the "Trading Conditions" section of the official website.
Clause 6.9.3 in Client Agreement
Read from the broker's site on Open the reference
Set against a regulated standard: FCA (UK), CySEC (Cyprus)

Firms licensed by the FCA or CySEC must give a retail client the costs and charges of a product before that client trades, in a form the client can keep. This contract states no costs at all and refers to a page the site does not publish.

Bridge Markets is not licensed by these regulators, so this is a comparison of practice, not a finding of any breach.

  • Worse together with Exhibit 17With no published rate card, a swap charge or an Islamic account fee can be introduced without you having any earlier figure to compare it against.
05

Clause 8.2 gives you three calendar days to complain, counted from the day the problem happened rather than the day you noticed it. Miss that and clause 8.8 lets Bridge Markets refuse to look at your complaint at all.

Why this matters

Three calendar days includes the weekend. A bad fill on a Friday evening has to be in writing by Monday, or Bridge Markets can decline to review it no matter how strong your case is.

Exhibit 5CriticalHarder than usual3 days

The Company will only accept complaints arising from this Agreement that are submitted in writing within a maximum period of three (3) calendar days from the date on which the event that generated the dispute occurred.
Clause 8.2 in Client Agreement
Read from the broker's site on Open the reference

What it costsA problem that happens on Friday at 18:00 must be in writing by Monday at 18:00. Clause 8.2 counts calendar days, so Saturday and Sunday use up two of your three.

Set against a regulated standard: FCA (UK), CySEC (Cyprus)

Firms licensed by the FCA give retail clients six months to refer a complaint onward to the Financial Ombudsman Service, and must handle complaints within set timescales. This contract allows three calendar days and names no outside body you can go to.

Bridge Markets is not licensed by these regulators, so this is a comparison of practice, not a finding of any breach.

  • Worse together with Exhibit 12You have three days to complain privately, and complaining in public within that window is itself grounds for Bridge Markets to refuse the complaint.
06

Clause 9.1 of the partner agreement lets Bridge Markets suspend withdrawals from customer accounts that are directly or indirectly linked to an introducing broker, when it suspects that partner of fraud or a serious breach. Your own conduct is not the test.

Why this matters

If you opened your account through a referral link, a dispute between Bridge Markets and that partner can lock your money. Clause 9.6 goes further and lets Bridge Markets keep your funds against the damage it says the partner caused.

Exhibit 6CriticalRarely seen

The Broker may, in exercising its risk management, regulatory compliance, and financial system protection powers, temporarily suspend withdrawals, transfers, or dispositions of funds in customer accounts directly or indirectly linked to an Introducing Broker (IB)
Clause 9.1 in IB Agreement
Read from the broker's site on Archived copyOpen the reference

Buried at section 23 of 36 in the IB Agreement, 64% of the way through.

Our readingJoint liability along a referral chain is a commercial lending device. Here it reaches a retail balance: the clause is addressed to partners, so the client whose funds it freezes is never shown the document that allows it.

  • Worse together with Exhibit 20One clause reaches money in your other account and the other reaches money in accounts linked to your referrer, so the balance at risk is wider than the account with the problem.

Every withdrawal is a review with no deadline on it

Clause 4.2 of the Bridge Markets Client Agreement promises transfers in one to three business days, and clause 13.8 then says no specific deadline is guaranteed. Clause 14 makes manual review compulsory on leveraged, credit and synthetic accounts whatever your history. Clause 4.8.1 allows your money out only by the route it came in, and clause 12.1 treats a full withdrawal as the end of your contract.

Getting paid out3 clauses flagged

Clause 13.8 says Bridge Markets does not guarantee any specific deadline for processing a withdrawal. Clause 14 adds that on a leveraged, credit or synthetic account every withdrawal goes to manual review, whatever the amount and whatever your history.

Why this matters

A review with no end date is a hold with no end date. Clause 14.7 also lets Bridge Markets limit what it tells you while your case is open, so you can be left waiting without being told why.

Exhibit 7CriticalHarder than usual

The Client agrees that Bridge Markets does not guarantee specific deadlines for processing withdrawals and that such processes may be subject to manual review, internal or external validations, additional controls, or operational prioritization.
Clause 13.8 in Client Agreement
Read from the broker's site on Open the reference

Clause 4.8.1 requires a withdrawal to go to the same payment system, the same payment details and the same currency as your deposit. Deposits by several routes have to be withdrawn proportionally across all of them.

Why this matters

If the card or wallet you paid in with has since closed, the contract offers no alternative route out. Changing your payment details needs a photograph of you holding your ID, or clause 4.8.2 lets Bridge Markets reject the withdrawal.

Exhibit 14WarningStandard wording

If the withdrawal is made using electronic payment systems, it must be made to the same system, with the same payment details, and in the same currency used for the original deposit. In case of multiple deposits made by different means, currencies, or payment details, withdrawals must be executed proportionally.
Clause 4.8.1 in Client Agreement
Read from the broker's site on Open the reference

Clause 12.1 treats a full withdrawal as termination of your relationship with Bridge Markets. Emptying the account closes the door behind you.

Why this matters

If you withdraw everything while a complaint is still open, you may have ended the agreement you are complaining under. Clause 8.2 already gives you only three days to raise it.

Bridge Markets can keep your deposit, not just your winnings

Close more than five trades inside two minutes each and clause 13.3 lets Bridge Markets suspend your account and keep the funds you deposited, in a retention the contract calls definitive and non-refundable. Clause 15.3 separately lets it invalidate a profit it finds statistically atypical, and clause 10.14 annuls profit made while you were connected through a VPN. Clause 1.3 lets it deduct what it calls damages straight from your balance.

Keeping your money2 clauses flagged

Bridge Markets bans VPNs, proxies and any tool that hides your real address. If it detects one, clause 10.14 lets it suspend your account, annul any profit made while you were connected that way, and hold your funds during an investigation.

Why this matters

Plenty of people run a VPN all the time for ordinary privacy reasons, or because their employer requires it. Trade through one and your gains can be cancelled, even where nothing about the trading itself was wrong.

Exhibit 9CriticalHarder than usual

If the Company detects the unauthorized use of network masking technologies, this will constitute a material breach of this Agreement. In such events, the Company reserves the absolute right to immediately suspend the account, annul any profit generated during periods of masked connectivity, and withhold funds pending an exhaustive security and KYC investigation.
Clause 10.14 in Client Agreement
Read from the broker's site on Open the reference

Clause 1.3 lets Bridge Markets deduct what it calls damages from the funds in your accounts, without going to court, if it decides you benefited from a technical failure or system error. It can also end the agreement with no notice.

Why this matters

A bad price caused by the broker's own platform can become a debit against you. Clause 13.5 then allows retained money to be spent on the firm's own technology costs and operational stability.

Exhibit 11WarningHarder than usual

If such conduct is detected, the Company reserves the right to: - Compensate for the damages caused by deducting available funds from the Client's accounts. - Unilaterally terminate this Agreement without prior notice.

Three calendar days to complain, and the broker decides what the contract means

Clause 8.2 of the Bridge Markets Client Agreement gives you three calendar days from the day a problem happens to complain in writing, and clause 8.7 says complaints that miss the requirements will not be accepted. Clause 15.8 instructs that the agreement be interpreted in a way that preserves the broker's business model. Clause 14.4 lets the firm suspend your withdrawal if it judges your language to be pressuring, and a valid complaint pays only as credit to your trading account.

Challenging a decision3 clauses flagged

Clause 15.8 says any interpretation of the agreement should be made in a way that preserves Bridge Markets' business model. Clause 14.8 says the final interpretation of its withdrawal decisions belongs to the broker alone.

Why this matters

Where a clause is unclear, the contract instructs that the doubt is resolved against you. You are agreeing in advance that Bridge Markets wins the argument about what you agreed to.

Exhibit 8CriticalRarely seen

The Client agrees that all previous provisions aim to protect the integrity, sustainability, and continuity of the broker, and that any interpretation of this Agreement should be made in a manner favorable to the preservation of Bridge Markets' business model.
Clause 15.8 in Client Agreement
Read from the broker's site on Open the reference

Our readingContracts are normally read against the side that drafted them, because that side chose the words. This clause reverses the rule and makes the drafter's commercial interest the guide to its meaning.

Clause 14.4 lets Bridge Markets suspend operational processes, including withdrawals, if it judges your language to be abusive, intimidating or unduly pressuring. Clause 8.3 also asks you not to discuss your complaint publicly until the review is finished.

Why this matters

Pressing hard for your own money can be read as pressure, and the penalty is the money itself. Clause 8.8 makes a public post about the dispute a reason to refuse your complaint outright.

Exhibit 12WarningRarely seen

The use of abusive, intimidating, threatening, coercive language, or undue pressure may result, at the broker's discretion, in: - contractual review, - limitation or formalization of communications, - temporary suspension of operational processes, including withdrawals.
Clause 14.4 in Client Agreement
Read from the broker's site on Open the reference

Our readingBrokers often say public posts will not speed a case up. Making the client's tone a ground to suspend the payment itself turns a conduct rule into a lever over money already owed.

Clause 8.5 says a valid complaint is resolved only by compensation credited to your trading account. There is no route to a cash payment, and clause 10.9 rules out any compensation for distress.

Why this matters

Winning your complaint puts trading credit in an account whose withdrawals Bridge Markets can still review and refuse. The remedy is money you then have to ask permission to take out.

Exhibit 13WarningHarder than usual

If the complaint is deemed valid, the dispute will be resolved exclusively through the payment of compensation, which will be credited to the Client's trading account.

On synthetic indices Bridge Markets is the market and the referee

Clause 15 of the Bridge Markets Client Agreement says its synthetic indices are proprietary instruments and that the firm retains full control over price generation mechanisms and the criteria for result validation. Clause 15.5 removes any duty to explain either. The Order Execution Policy adds that orders may be filled on non-regulated liquidity providers or on the firm's own internal matching engine, and clause 8.9 makes its server logs the official record in a dispute.

In plain words

Liquidity providers are outside banks and brokers.

Who sets the price1 clause flagged

On its synthetic indices Bridge Markets controls the price generation mechanism and the criteria for validating results, by clause 15. It also does not have to disclose how either one works.

In plain words

On a principal basis, as your counterparty, means the broker takes the other side of your trade itself. Your loss is then the firm’s gain, so it has an interest in how your trade ends.

Why this matters

Your profit is measured against a price your counterparty invented, and that same counterparty decides whether the profit counts. The Order Execution Policy also says your orders may be filled on the firm's own internal matching engine.

Exhibit 10CriticalHarder than usual

Consequently, Bridge Markets retains full control over: - trading conditions, - technical parameters, - price generation mechanisms, - and the criteria for result validation.

Set against a regulated standard: CySEC (Cyprus), ESMA (EU)

Firms licensed by CySEC or under the ESMA framework must identify conflicts of interest, publish a conflicts policy and disclose the conflict to the client where it cannot be managed. Bridge Markets publishes no conflicts of interest policy, and clause 15.5 removes any duty to explain how its prices are made.

Bridge Markets is not licensed by these regulators, so this is a comparison of practice, not a finding of any breach.

The site sells money on demand that the contract refuses to guarantee

Bridge Markets tells visitors to its services page they can access their money 24/7 and withdraw without complications. Clause 13.7 of its Client Agreement says a withdrawal is a petition subject to review and approval, and not an automatic, immediate or guaranteed right. Its managed account brochure says there are no restrictions on when you exit, while clause 14 sends every exit from a managed or leveraged account to manual review.

Promise against clause1 clause flagged

The partner page says Bridge Markets has set no restrictions on how much you can earn per client. Appendix 1 of the partner agreement caps your commission from an account at 60% of that account's deposits, and lets the firm correct anything above it.

Why this matters

If a referral partner sold you the account, the money behind that pitch is capped and clawable. Appendix item 19 lets Bridge Markets deduct up to all of a partner's commission, and clause 12.5 ends the deal if they bring fewer than three clients in thirty days.

Exhibit 21WarningHarder than usual

In the case where the total amount of the Affiliate's commission from a trading account exceeds 60% (Sixty per cent) of total deposits for the specific account the Company reserves the right to correct the total amount of commissions in order to comply with 60% (Sixty per cent) of net deposits.

Bridge Markets publishes no spreads, no swap rates and no fee schedule

Five clauses of the Bridge Markets Client Agreement send you to a Trading Conditions section of its website for spreads, swaps, stop levels and account parameters, and the site publishes no such section. Clause 6.9.3 lets the firm widen spreads when it judges volatility high. Clause 6.9.4 lets it charge an Islamic account at any time and makes unpaid swaps above $100,000 a cost you owe. In copy trading the trader sets their own share of your profit, up to 100%.

Cost disclosure2 clauses flagged

Clause 6.9.4 lets Bridge Markets apply fees to an Islamic account at any time, and cancel the account's swap-free status if it decides you breached the terms. Swaps then apply. Unpaid swaps above $100,000 become a cost you owe the firm.

Why this matters

You can choose a swap-free account for religious reasons and be charged swaps later anyway, at rates the contract never states. The clause sets no cap on what you may end up owing.

Exhibit 17WarningHarder than usual$100000

The Company may cancel the "Account" status and apply swaps if the Client breaches the terms of service. Islamic accounts are offered exclusively to comply with religious precepts, and the Company may apply fees for this service at any time.
Clause 6.9.4 in Client Agreement
Read from the broker's site on Open the reference

In copy trading the trader you follow sets their own cut of your profit, anywhere from nothing to 100%, and clause 3.7 lets them change it whenever they like. Clause 3.30 reduces the money you can withdraw by any unpaid commission.

Why this matters

The person whose trades you copy decides what your gains are worth to you, and you do not have to agree to the new figure. Bridge Markets takes the fee from your account every twenty four hours.

Exhibit 18WarningHarder than usual100%

The Trader shall have the right to set their participation percentage in the profits generated by Copy Trading, within a range between 0% and 100%, and may modify this percentage at any time.
Clause 3.7 in Client Agreement
Read from the broker's site on Open the reference

What it costsIf your copied trades make $1,000 and the trader has set their share at 100%, the whole $1,000 is debited to them. Your account keeps nothing from the cycle.

Bonus profit can be cancelled to protect the broker's own sustainability

Clause 13.9 of the Bridge Markets Client Agreement says a bonus is never your capital and is not withdrawable under any circumstances. Profit made partly with one can be adjusted, limited or invalidated, and one of the listed grounds is that the broker's operational sustainability was affected. Bridge Markets refers to promotional bonus accounts in clause 13.3 but publishes no bonus terms document at all.

Promotional capital1 clause flagged

Clause 13.9 says a bonus is never your own money and can never be withdrawn. Profit made partly with it can be adjusted, limited or invalidated, including where Bridge Markets decides its own operational sustainability was affected.

Why this matters

That last test has nothing to do with your conduct. It lets Bridge Markets cancel your gains because paying them would cost the firm too much, and no bonus terms document exists to narrow it.

Exhibit 19WarningHarder than usual

Any bonus, credit, incentive, additional margin, or promotional benefit granted by Bridge Markets does not constitute the Client's own capital, is not considered deposited money, and is not withdrawable under any circumstances.

Money in accounts you do not control can be frozen for you

Clause 9.1 of the Bridge Markets partner agreement lets the firm suspend withdrawals from customer accounts linked directly or indirectly to an introducing broker it suspects, and clause 9.6 lets it keep those funds against the damage it says the partner caused. Clause 7.5 of the Client Agreement separately lets a negative balance on one of your accounts be covered from another. Clause 4.7 does zero a stuck negative balance monthly.

Whose loss you carry1 clause flagged

Clause 7.5 lets Bridge Markets cover a negative balance on one of your accounts with the funds sitting in another account you hold with it. Ring-fencing one strategy from another does not survive this clause.

Why this matters

Money you set aside in a second account is not safe from a loss in the first. Clause 4.7 does soften this: a stuck negative balance is zeroed on the first day of each month, so it is not left as a debt.

Exhibit 20WarningHarder than usual

In exceptional situations, the Company may offset a negative balance in one Client's account using the funds available in another account that the same Client maintains with the Company.

The identity check starts when you ask for your money

Clause 4.11 of the Bridge Markets Client Agreement gives you seven business days from your withdrawal request to produce whatever documents the firm asks for, or the withdrawal is rejected. Clause 9.1.1 allows it to demand a video of you reading your personal details aloud in English while holding your ID. Clause 9.1 points to the AML Policy for the full list, and that document cannot be read. Your age, by contrast, is a tickbox you click at signup.

Proving who you are3 clauses flagged

Ask for your money and the identity check can start then. Clause 4.11 gives you seven business days to upload whatever Bridge Markets asks for, or your withdrawal is rejected and the funds are returned to the account.

Why this matters

The clock starts at the withdrawal request, not at sign-up, so the check lands exactly when you want your money. Clause 9.1 sends you to the AML Policy for the list of documents, and that document cannot be read.

Exhibit 15WarningHarder than usual7 working days

The Client must send this information through their Profile within a maximum period of seven (7) business days counted from the withdrawal request.

Clause 9.1.1 lets Bridge Markets ask you for a video recording or a live broadcast in which you read your personal information aloud in English while holding your open ID next to your face.

Why this matters

Most of this broker's marketing is in Spanish, yet this check is specified in English only. If you do not speak English well enough to perform it, the contract offers no alternative.

Exhibit 16WarningRarely seen

In exceptional cases, the Company may require the Client to submit a video recording or a live broadcast in which the Client reads aloud their personal information in English, while holding their open identity document on the photo page, next to their face.
Clause 9.1.1 in Client Agreement
Read from the broker's site on Open the reference

Our readingDocument and selfie checks are normal. A live performance to camera in one named language, which is not the language the client was sold the account in, is not.

The Terms and conditions replace the age field in the signup form with a declaration you make by clicking Register. Bridge Markets can ask for proof later and close the account if it finds you are underage.

Why this matters

Nothing verifies your age when you deposit, only when the firm decides to look. An account opened by a minor can trade and lose money first, and be closed afterwards.

Exhibit 24NoticeHarder than usual

By clicking the 'Register' (or 'Sign Up') button and submitting the account opening form, the Client expressly declares and confirms that they are at least 18 years old (or the legal age of majority in their jurisdiction, if higher) and that they have full legal capacity to enter into this agreement. This declaration replaces any separate age verification field in the registration form.

One partner agreement, three different legal systems

The Bridge Markets partner agreement names the company as incorporated in the Marshall Islands under registration 113891, then gives exclusive jurisdiction to the courts of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines in clause 21.1, and relies on three Cypriot statutes in clause 4.2. The clause is unchanged from the archived March copy. The Client Agreement points instead to the jurisdiction where the company is registered.

Whose courts1 clause flagged

The partner agreement opens by saying Bridge Markets Ltd is incorporated in the Marshall Islands. Clause 21.1 then hands disputes to Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, and clause 4.2 relies on Cypriot electronic signature statutes.

Why this matters

Nobody signing this can tell whose courts apply or whose law governs. The Client Agreement meanwhile sends you to the Marshall Islands, which is where the company is registered and a long way from its Spanish speaking client base.

Exhibit 22NoticeRarely seen

This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Saint Vincent and the Grenadines without regard to conflict of laws.

Buried at section 34 of 36 in the IB Agreement, 94% of the way through.

Our readingA distant governing law is ordinary for an offshore broker. Three different legal systems inside one agreement is a sign the document was assembled from another firm's paperwork rather than drafted for this one.

No regulator, no segregation statement, no compensation scheme

Bridge Markets Ltd is registered in the Marshall Islands under number 113891, and no document we could read names a financial regulator that supervises it. Its partner agreement defines your governing documents to include an Investors Compensation Fund Policy, a Best Execution Policy, a Conflicts of Interest Policy, a Complaints Handling Process and a Client Categorisation Policy, and the firm publishes none of the five. No document says client money is held in segregated accounts.

What is not there1 clause flagged

The partner agreement defines your governing documents to include a Best Execution Policy, a Conflicts of Interest Policy, a Complaints Handling Process, an Investors Compensation Fund Policy and a Client Categorisation Policy. Bridge Markets publishes none of them.

Why this matters

An Investors Compensation Fund Policy implies a scheme that pays you back if the firm fails. No document names any such scheme, and no document says your money sits in a segregated bank account.

Exhibit 25NoticeStandard wording

In addition, it also includes the Best Execution Policy, Conflicts of Interest Policy, Complaints Handling Process, Investors Compensation Fund Policy, Privacy Policy and Client Categorisation Policy.
Clause 3.1 in IB Agreement
Read from the broker's site on Archived copyOpen the reference
Set against a regulated standard: FCA (UK), CySEC (Cyprus)

Firms licensed by the FCA or CySEC must hold retail client money in segregated accounts and belong to a statutory compensation scheme that pays out if the firm fails. Bridge Markets Ltd names no regulator, no segregation arrangement and no compensation scheme in any document we could read.

Bridge Markets is not licensed by these regulators, so this is a comparison of practice, not a finding of any breach.

Our readingFor an offshore broker this gap is normal rather than remarkable, which is the point: the protections a client assumes from a European firm are absent here.

The documents this reading is based on

15 files, all published by Bridge Markets. Each shows when we read it and a fingerprint of its wording.

WIKILIX keeps the copy of each file it read, and does not republish it: what is published is the fingerprint of its wording. Download the file yourself and hash its text, lowercased with runs of whitespace collapsed, and a matching fingerprint means the wording quoted above is still the wording Bridge Markets publishes.

Who the contract is with

Bridge Markets Ltd

You contract with Bridge Markets Ltd, registered in the Marshall Islands under number 113891. No document in the set names a financial regulator that supervises it. The two addresses do not match: the Client Agreement gives Majuro Nominees, P.O. Box 1405, Majuro, while the website footer gives Trust Company Complex, Ajeltake Road, Ajeltake Island, Majuro. The IB Agreement describes the same company as a Marshall Islands company and then hands disputes to the courts of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines. No document says your money is held in a segregated bank account, and no compensation scheme is named anywhere.

Quotations are copied verbatim from the documents named above, with the clause number and the page each one came from. Where a clause is quoted in another language, the original is shown first and the English is a translation.

The plain-language parts, what a clause means for a client, how ordinary it is, and how it reads against a regulated standard, are WIKILIX's analysis and are labelled as such on every card. This is a reading of public documents, not legal advice and not an allegation of wrongdoing.

In fairness, and what we could not check

A reader who knows the edges of the work can trust the middle of it

Bridge Markets does three things better than most offshore brokers. Clause 4.7 zeroes a stuck negative balance on the first day of each month, so an account that falls below zero is not left as a debt you owe. Clause 10.12 promises seven calendar days of email notice before the agreement changes, and many competitors give none. Clause 13.1 also defines its banned trading in actual numbers, under two minutes and more than five trades, where most contracts just say "abusive trading" and leave the meaning open. The Order Execution Policy is unusually candid too: it admits in writing that orders may be filled on non-regulated liquidity providers and on the firm's own internal matching engine. Most brokers do not put that in a published document.

This review covers four documents in full: the Client Agreement, the IB Agreement, the Order Execution Policy and the MAM brochure. Every quoted clause comes from those four, from one readable paragraph of the Terms and conditions, or from the broker's marketing pages. Five documents would not open as readable text: the AML Policy, the KYC policy, the Terms and conditions, the Privacy Policy and the Risk Disclosure. Their words cannot be copied or searched, so nothing is quoted from them. That matters, because the Client Agreement sends you to the AML Policy for the identification rules and the restricted-countries list, and those rules are outside this review. The archived copies of the AML Policy and the IB Agreement were both cut short, so we could compare only the back half of the IB Agreement. The PDFs we could read drop letters when their text is copied, so we have put back letters such as the "fi" in "definitive". The site publishes only English pages, so there was no second language version to hold the contract against.

How to check any of this yourself

Every quote above links to the Bridge Markets file it came from. This is what to do with it.

Open the three stepsFind the words in the source, work out the fingerprint, and read what a difference does and does not prove.

Open the source and search for the words

Every quote has a link under it. Open the file, or the web page, and search it for the words we quote. The clause number next to the quote tells you where to look.

If the words are not there any more, the source may have changed after we read it. That is worth knowing too. We keep the date we read it, and a code worked out from its wording, so the quote stays checkable.

What a fingerprint is

A fingerprint is a code worked out from what a source says. Change one word and the code changes completely. We keep two codes for every file we read, and the panel on each source shows both.

The first is the code of the exact file we downloaded. The second is the code of its wording alone, with capital letters lowered and runs of spaces collapsed. When the same words are saved as a new file, the first code changes and the second one stays the same.

Only the first code can be worked out on your own computer. Save the file, then run one of these, putting the name of the file you saved where the example is. The panel on each source prints the command with that source's real file name already in it.

macOS or Linux:
  shasum -a 256 the-file-you-saved.pdf

Windows:
  certutil -hashfile the-file-you-saved.pdf SHA256

The two codes are different from each other, and they are not meant to match. Comparing one against the other proves nothing.

What a difference means, and what it does not

A different file code on its own proves nothing. A PDF saved again with a new date inside it is a new file saying exactly the same thing.

A different wording code means the words themselves changed. That is the one that matters, and it is why we keep it.

Even then, a change is not proof of bad faith. Companies update their documents. What this report says is what the document said on the day we read it, and every quote carries that date.

A source that is a web page and not a file has no file to save, so only the code of its wording is shown.

How this report is made

Every clause quoted above comes from a document Bridge Markets publishes on its own website, downloaded and hashed on the date shown, with the clause number and page recorded so any reader can check it. We do not allege anything the documents do not say, and we do not judge Bridge Markets on anything other than its own published terms and its own public marketing. Where a clause has a qualifier that softens it, the report says so. Last read Oct 17, 2026.

If you represent Bridge Markets and a clause has changed, been withdrawn, or is being read out of context, tell us and we will re-read the documents and update this page. Corrections from the broker are welcome and are published with the reading they change. Contact us.

This is a reading of a contract, not legal advice and not a ruling on Bridge Markets. Whether its licence is real and current is a separate check on the broker profile.
