Your contract tells you that TP Trades holds your money under UK financial rules, and that a UK compensation scheme pays you if the firm fails. The footer of the same page says the company is TP Trades Group Co.,Ltd in the Comoros Union, and that it does not serve residents of European countries.
Why this matters
The compensation scheme named in clause 9.5 pays out to clients of firms the UK regulator authorises. TP Trades gives no UK authorisation number anywhere, so the safety net this contract describes is not one you can claim on.
Exhibit 1Every flagged clause gets its own number so you can point at this one. The number does not change, so a link to it keeps working.CriticalHow much this clause can cost you, in our reading. Critical can take your money or your profit. Warning can delay or limit it. Notice is simply worth knowing before you sign.Rarely seenHow ordinary this wording looks next to the contracts we read. This is our reading of the clause, not a count of other brokers.
TPTRADES is covered by the UK Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSC). If the Client is an Eligible Claimant, the Client may be entitled to compensation from the FSCS if TPTRADES Limited cannot meet its obligations because it is insolvent.
Firms the FCA authorises must publish a firm reference number, and only their clients can claim on the Financial Services Compensation Scheme. Clause 9.5 promises cover up to £50,000 and names no reference number, while the footer places the company in the Comoros Union.
TP Global is not licensed by this regulator, so this is a comparison of practice, not a finding of any breach.
Our readingOur own comment on the clause, not the broker's words. Anything we quote is marked as a quotation.Copying a clause or two from a regulated firm's terms is common. This contract imports an entire foreign rulebook: client money rules, a compensation scheme, transaction reporting, client categorisation and product governance, all credited to a regulator the company is not registered with.
- Worse together with Exhibit 14Read these two clauses together. Each one costs more because the other exists.The contract names a regulator that does not cover the company, then names no governing law and no court, so there is no stated place to bring a claim.
